Are Supplements Needed?

I'm not an expert in this field but the information I'm going to provide is from some of the best in the industry.  I recently attended and spoke at the Smarter Team Training Conference in Baltimore and heard Jose Antonio speak for the third time.  I never miss a chance to hear him speak and also heard Michelle Rockwell for the first time.  Our society is filled with people trying to make money who really don't care if the products work or not they just want your money.  Here is what I took from both Jose and Michelle this past weekend.  I'll be happy to write more on this from their research but would love to get your thoughts first.  What do your guys think?

1.  Your most important meal is breakfast?
2.  Creatine or Coca Cola which one is worse?  What is your answer? 
3.  BCAA are important and supplements can help with this?
4.  Best protein post workout is whey?
5.  Casein is best used before you go to bed?
6.  If your a salty sweater what can you do to help?
7.  Beta Aline can help performance?
8.  Caffeine is bad for you?

These were just a few topics they discussed.  I've been asking my clients and athletes these same questions and was shocked by the answers I got.  I look forward to hearing your responses.  If you care to cheat in a good way check this site before you answer.

Smarter Team Training Conference in Baltimore

Loyola University in Maryland

Coach Rob Taylor put on a great show this past weekend with many speakers from around the US to speak on performance training.  Presenters like Nick Tumminello and Alan Stein were on hand to speak and also watch the speakers.  I spoke on movement training for about 45 minutes and participated in the round table discuss later in the day.  I want to thank coach Taylor and Smarter Team Training for putting on a great show and bringing together some great sponsors for this past event.  If you haven't attend look for the 5th annual conference next year and mark it on your calender.  I look forward to coming up north again next year and speaking.  Smarter Tream Training  http://www.smarterteamtraining.com/
