Today I have the privilege to sit down with the co-founder of The Gatorade Sports Science Institute, Dr. Bob Murray.

As we get going I ask Dr. Bob how he had the opportunity to be at the beginning of such an iconic institution in sports research. More pointedly - I ask him whether he feels like it was simply luck that landed him in the right place at the right time.

He shares his story of how he was able to get into founding an institute in Gatorade and how his expertise was applied.

As we continue Dr. Bob tells me his intent of writing the second version of his book The Practical Guide to Exercise Physiology which is helpful to any fitness professionals and amateurs alike. The book presents its information in such a way that anyone can grasp it and get enough out of it to make your training more effective.

If you are looking for answers about recovery, training in different temperature and altitude adjustment, Dr. Bob carefully explains each topic both in our chat and in his book.

So sit with us today and learn a little about the storied history of Dr. Bob Murray and how he can help you become a better athlete.
