Mark Burik (00:00.846)
Hmm.
Mark Burik (00:13.624)
Hmm, not working on Facebook right now for whatever reason.
Mark Burik (00:21.838)
Alright, well, we'll just do it on YouTube.
Mark Burik (00:26.892)
All right. Hey everybody and welcome to the Better at Beach podcast. My name is Mark Barak and today we have a special guest, Corinne Quiggle from the AVP and the FIVB. And we're going to get into talking about her nutrition and how she's playing with eating different foods and the path that she is currently on. But if you're interested in some upcoming camp dates, we've got
new training camps coming out. just finished in Tacoma, Washington, and since we had a 25 person waiting list for that camp, we are likely to go back there very soon and offer another training camp up in Tacoma, Washington, but we don't have a date for that yet. The closest dates that you can book are in Salt Lake City, February 14th and 15th, March 7th in Ozark, Missouri, March 14th in New Orleans, March 21st.
Corinne Quiggle (01:03.84)
Thank
Corinne Quiggle (01:15.48)
.
Mark Burik (01:22.89)
in Long Island and March 28th in Las Vegas. Also, yesterday we just planned and booked a camp in Santa Monica. So we're going to be working at the Annenberg Beach House in Santa Monica. So for everyone out there who is from California, the Santa Monica crew, I want to invite you guys out for a three day training camp. If you're local or California based or even, I don't know, Nevada or Arizona based.
Corinne Quiggle (01:43.047)
you
Mark Burik (01:51.736)
Come on out, we'll be hanging out for three days in Santa Monica, running a three day training camp. And that is going to be the last day of February, February 28th, March 1st and March 2nd. So come spend a three day weekend with us. That's it. We want to talk about Corinne and we want to peel from her knowledge base and your current things that are going on. So before we get started, Corinne, what is your pre-season
looking like and what are the main goals that are on your mind right now?
Corinne Quiggle (02:25.538)
Yeah, so we are fully in preseason right now. It's been a lot of time in the gym, a lot of time on the sand as well, but I'm practicing five times a week and lifting three to four.
One of those days is usually more of a recovery day. Like I had hip surgery last year. So one of those days is a lot of, you know, rehab, but rehab is still a workout. So it's definitely going on the sand. We're trying to really work on new systems and really getting comfortable in our pass, our set, like the plays that we want to run sort of, and how we want to set up, which has been really, really fun.
Yeah, just working into all those things and definitely feeling not the freshest on the sand currently, but honestly, it makes it so much better when you finally deload and you have like, oh, I moved so freely and so quick and agile. I was just talking about that today. So, so yeah, a lot of work on the sand, a lot of work in the gym and also, you know, making sure that I'm staying with my nutrition. And yeah, I know you touched on it briefly before, but I just started working with, um,
my new nutrition sponsor, which is Root and Fruit Nutrition. And we're doing like a genomes test and yeah, so I'm going down this path. I actually just returned my results. I just returned my sample, so I'll get my results soon. And yeah, it's been a fun last year specifically while I was coming back from hip surgery and I was recovering. Nutrition was a huge part because all I could really do was anything off the sand. So that's like film.
I control what I eat and I control how I rehab and how often I go to PT and all that stuff. yeah, it's been a fun day.
Mark Burik (04:12.206)
Nice. So is this then the typical for you to spend January and February heavy in the weight room and then just lots of pass set ball control work?
Corinne Quiggle (04:27.149)
It is, yes. Definitely this is my time to build because there's not a lot of other times in season to really build strength and have that solid base. And that's huge, especially when it comes to injuries. I think that's honestly the most important thing is to keep consistent with your workouts and to also have that strong enough base that you can maintain throughout the year. It's good.
or also like your jump, your shoulder, you know, all those things to improve your performance. But at the same time, I think it's biggest benefit, like beneficial thing is to stay healthy.
Mark Burik (05:06.638)
through that. Yeah, I was. It's funny because you want to start athletes from like the base of you just hope that it's in them to just work their tails off. And then I would rather have an athlete that is working way too much way too hard getting way too many reps and tell them, hey, you got to sit down once a week. Rather than having somebody who does the bare minimum because they're so concerned with their body or
Corinne Quiggle (05:28.974)
Right.
Mark Burik (05:36.778)
You know, they heard the word overtraining at some point. So then they're measuring it back and then you have to convince them to work harder. Give me the hard worker who wants maximum reps and then I'll schedule in the rest days and try to get them focused that way. think Logan, Logan Weber is like an example of that. He will play volleyball every day, all day. And you know, at some point you're like, okay, have you taken a rest day, my friend?
Corinne Quiggle (05:45.283)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (06:02.169)
Yeah. And honestly, like I think I lean more to that side for sure too, as like I'm going to work, work, work, work, work. And then I need the rest. Like when it comes to like, wow, I really need the rest. But a lot of coming back from this injury has taught me, I definitely want to get ahead of those things. And maybe that's if I'm not able to control my movements and I know I'm like teetering on an injury, it's like lowering some in the sand, but making sure that I'm strengthening or doing what I can.
outside of it, you know? So there's definitely a balance to be found. I'm trying to find that balance because I have always leaned through, yeah, I'm going to play, I'm going to play, I'm going to play, I'm going to play through it. I mean, I played through three tournaments after I significantly hurt my hip. So I was like, maybe those are the ones where I'm like, hey, I'm not going to be able to play at my 100 % in the tournament. So maybe I'm looking to start recovery or I don't go to those tournaments, you know? So.
Mark Burik (07:00.812)
Yeah. Well, that's kind of an interesting question that leads me down a path where, all right, you're injured, you're busted up, but you have to, or you just really want to play the tournament. So when your body's not acting the way you wish it would.
Corinne Quiggle (07:21.291)
Mm-hmm.
Mark Burik (07:22.958)
How do you battle that? How do you come to terms with it? Do you change your game? Do you just try to put it out of your head? What were you telling yourself post injury, but still competing?
Corinne Quiggle (07:37.207)
Yeah, I mean, when I'm on the court, it's a lot easier to just, it's all gone. I'm just playing. Um, but my training leading up to that was, okay, I don't want to push myself to her. Also at this point, like we were in a really good, um, I was playing with Sarah and we, you know, we knew each other so well that we didn't need to get like the extra reps. We'd been on the road for a long time. were probably doing like an hour in the sand and then, and
hour in the gym or so like mainly focusing on okay I just want to try to do more it's like rehab but again when I say rehab I still mean like we're still lifting it's just targeting those areas and making sure that we're balanced and and all that so definitely kind of you know again finding what we can control being like we don't want to push it too much on the sand because I know that I am hurt and I don't need to get hurt in practice.
And I want to be fresh and ready to play. So let's watch film or let's do this or let's, you know, find some other way to be still productive, but not overdoing it for our body, especially if you're already hurt.
Mark Burik (08:52.866)
When, so you said that, you know, now off season and then through your injury, you said one of your big focuses was film and it sounds like it's a regular thing for you. What does a film session look like for you? Are you doing it alone? Are you, and you're still playing with Sarah, Sherman Horn?
Corinne Quiggle (09:13.15)
Sarah is coming back from, she just had a baby. maybe later, but not in the beginning of the year. I'm playing currently with Megan Rice for AVPs and Chloe Lorraine for some FIVBs early. Interesting beginning of the year. Yeah, it's definitely interesting. But I like both of these girls are super fun to play with and it's the beginning of a quad in my mind. So.
Mark Burik (09:20.113)
okay, who you playing with?
Mark Burik (09:26.636)
Nice. that's tough. Haven't a...
Corinne Quiggle (09:39.368)
part of it is being able to play with different playing styles and I've played with Sarah for the last two and a half years and I've learned so much from playing with other people just for a short time. So it'll be a fun little segment of the career, I think. Yeah.
Mark Burik (09:56.118)
Yeah, and it's just fun to watch Megan Rice hit, honestly. She's like a walking highlight reel. When she gets a good set, it's fun to watch, so that'll be cool.
Corinne Quiggle (10:00.124)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (10:07.461)
Yeah, it'll be fun.
Mark Burik (10:09.784)
So then what does a film session look like?
Corinne Quiggle (10:12.723)
So it depends on where we are. If I am with my partner on the road and just my partner and we don't have a coach, we'll watch it usually together. Sometimes it'll be we watch part of it alone and then part of it together. A lot of it will be watching our practices after we practice. If we do that, some of it if we're leading up to a tournament looks like, okay, let's scout another team or let's watch us play them before if we have that game or
Yeah, it's a mixture between watching other teams and watching ourselves. But what we're looking for in those scenarios are like, you know, like we also like to map out our our own attacks and like to see what we're doing when we're doing things to see what other people might see while scouting us. It also can look like if I'm watching a practice, how was my timing on everything, you know, like.
Sometimes it's more defense focused. This last practice that I had today that I'll watch the film on later today, it will probably be a mixture of first ball side out, how consistent I was with that, and then also my timing on defense was a specific focus. things. And it depends on where we are if we're picking like one thing that we're really focusing on watching film. So like...
It can be anything. mean, I've had a whole film session on like, how did I serve? look at this. I'm just popping balls in or like, no, we really had a plan and we were serving where we want, you know, those kinds of things. So picking a skill sometimes in watching or watching our timing on defense is often bad or running our systems on offense.
Mark Burik (11:56.302)
Okay, so you're kind of coaching yourself technically and occasionally strategically when you're watching your own practices just to check in to see if you did it how you thought you were doing it or to look for actual changes that you could make.
Corinne Quiggle (12:04.238)
with a yes.
Corinne Quiggle (12:11.76)
Yeah, I-
Corinne Quiggle (12:18.008)
It depends. And sometimes I'm doing this with the coach as well. It's been a while. We also had a video person, Brian in the gym, the other one who will, you know, break it down for us every once in a while. But a lot of times it's seeing, did I, did what I think happened happen or how does it look like when I felt this movement like this? What does that look like? And does it look the same way that it felt or does it?
Like, we're playing around with jump setting and like, I know when I'm in a certain position in jump setting, it looks like I can see the difference in my timing, sort of. That one's focused more on my timing. If I'm too early, usually, you know, and you see those things much faster when you watch it, I think, rather than telling yourself or just based off of the feelings. So, yeah.
Mark Burik (13:13.826)
I tell you, like I'll do a short plug here for our online program. It comes with all of the courses that we have. And then we tell people like, okay, hey, do this video or watch this tutorial, do this drill associated with it, and then record it and post it so that we can actually go in there and analyze it in the community. Because I was like, we wouldn't really have a coaching service if we could just throw videos on YouTube and you would boom.
Corinne Quiggle (13:31.81)
Mm-hmm.
Mark Burik (13:40.302)
lights out like, okay, now I understand it. I'm a fantastic volleyball player. It's like, whatever you're feeling, we have to see if that matches with like the actual correct image of it, because everybody's got their own visual image, and then they watch their own videos, thinking that they did it right, or even worse, they don't ever film themselves. So they have no idea what they actually look like when they're doing it. And so then when those players are our members, they come in,
Corinne Quiggle (13:44.682)
Right.
Corinne Quiggle (14:05.338)
Right.
Mark Burik (14:08.93)
to the complete training blueprint and they can actually post those videos. That's where we're actively coaching them in the community. And, you know, it just blows them away to, to, know how much there is to see and then think that you're doing something. But then somebody with a bigger, better eye comes in and says, okay, here's where it's way off or here's where you're getting close, you know, and then we can modify from there. But if you're not.
Corinne Quiggle (14:09.117)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (14:35.776)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (14:38.968)
filming yourself and you're only feeling practice, I think you're doing yourself a disservice. And then if you watch it without a coach, a lot of times you just reaffirm what you believe. You know what I mean? I think I used to watch film and when me and Ian got back together in our partnership, it was because I watched a film session with Jeff Alzena and
Corinne Quiggle (14:47.618)
Mm-hmm end up watching Hmm yeah
Mark Burik (15:04.662)
He taught me so much just in a 45 minute film session, but I realized, wait a second. We're not as far off as we thought it was. It was just a couple of blocking lineups and a couple of him interpreting a play differently than I would interpret it. And then having that connection, that coach to sit down and watch us and then bring us back together. Like that's when we ended up, okay, now we're back on the AVP. went to the Pan Am games and we're able to fix things.
because it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. It was just such a close fix to then be qualifier to mid-ABP level.
Corinne Quiggle (15:35.499)
We're.
Corinne Quiggle (15:42.603)
Yeah, and you can see that. Like sometimes in the game, you're felt like, gosh, we're so far behind and the score is like four eight and you're watching it from the outside and you're like, actually, no, you're like little things here and there that it's not that far of a game, you know, or like you thought you got off to such a bad start, but when you rewatch it and then when you come back into that position again, you find yourself in a similar position, you can have that kind of mindset shift. And so many people are visual learners. I know, I love, I,
Mark Burik (16:06.542)
Hmm. Yep.
Corinne Quiggle (16:12.478)
I'm a little bit of both, but visual is so important for me. if I can see it, I'm like, yeah, the changes come so much quicker.
Mark Burik (16:20.654)
Yeah, yeah, anytime you can see it, witness it, watch it from a third eye. It's, or from that outside eye. It's so nice. Even like I'll still nauseate myself sometimes with like lifting technique. You know, I'll record myself in my garage and I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, let's fix this on set number two.
Corinne Quiggle (16:31.935)
There.
Corinne Quiggle (16:37.598)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (16:39.746)
Cool, okay, so currently it's three to four times a week in the gym and five practices. So are you high volume in the gym right now? Are you doing like high reps and sets? And then what does your split look like? I think a lot of people are always concerned with, well, should I play and train in the same day? But most people also have adult lives and real jobs where they don't have three to four hours to dedicate just to the sport.
Corinne Quiggle (16:53.961)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (17:09.994)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (17:10.184)
but if we're training at, the level that you're at, what does it look like?
Corinne Quiggle (17:14.589)
So it also depends right now, because some days I'm just going, my training on the sand is an hour. Like a lot, that's not a ton for me. doesn't like that much for me. That's kind of just repping. But in the gym, it's definitely building. I'd say I'm lifting heavy. And heavy for me, again, I think everybody is different and everyone needs to figure out what works for them. So how I load might be different. I don't always love like,
I think squatting and all that is great, but I don't always love loading my back because I've had some issues in the past. So I always try to load like either holding trap bar, you know, low behind me or holding with dumbbells and I still want it or with the waist belt. So I still want to be able to get into all those positions and I do most of my stuff, single leg as well. And there's a mixture of like,
Mark Burik (18:07.244)
Nice.
Corinne Quiggle (18:11.878)
I mean, lifting heavy Bulgarians is not always fun, it's what I yesterday and I'm still ridiculously sore. yeah, it's definitely trying to have that load, but I also am working with sort of a recovery day where I'm trying to get all the small muscles that are engaged and a lot of balance and a lot of that. yeah, it is.
Mark Burik (18:16.656)
make you question your existence.
Corinne Quiggle (18:39.878)
When I say five times on the sand, it's either an hour with a coach or an hour and a half right now. It's not always two hours. And that kind of changes throughout the season.
Mark Burik (18:51.854)
Okay, cool. Yeah, I started working with kettlebells a few months ago just because I wanted to A, see what it was to be on a full kettlebell program and only dedicate to that. And B, yeah, I've had some back issues too. Like when I put the bar on my back, I'm way more comfortable in front squats than I am in back squats, which is whatever it is. That's what I'm comfortable doing. And then I just bought a dip belt. And so now I'm doing
Just using the dip belt, that's where I'm doing my squats. I got a landmine attachment and so now I'm doing that. So my legs are fully loaded, but there's nothing on my shoulders and that feels great too. So now I'm all kettlebell and dip belts for all of my workouts and it feels, my back's never under pressure. I don't have any tweaks or anything anymore. So it feels good to make that change. And I love single leg stuff, even though it doubles your time in the gym, it's so nice and focused.
Okay, so let's talk about your nutrition journey and what is a genome test and what things are you trying to change and upgrade this year or what has failed in the past years?
Corinne Quiggle (19:52.742)
Mm-hmm.
Corinne Quiggle (20:04.589)
Yeah, I'd say I eat fairly. Like, the majority of my meals are, I mean, I eat almost very similar things every day, pretty much. Like, I have probably four scrambled eggs-ish in the morning with like avocado and apple and blueberries and like that's breakfast. And I snack on usually fruit. I do eat a lot of fruit and meat. I'd say those are my two biggest things, fruit and meat.
some sweet potatoes and yeah, and I try to get a little creative in that because I have a major sweet tooth as well. So finding my like little healthy desserts that are still very all natural. And granted, I think that I've come a long way with my own nutrition in college. I just ate whatever I wanted and I felt terrible. I was sick all the time. Like truly, like just like never felt good, you know? And I think that was like a big
Part of what I ate was just a bunch of processed foods. So now where I'm at, I think we shop very much high quality meats and organic fruits and just try to eat as natural as possible. With the genome test, it kind of looks at your DNA. And I've done a few other things like this before where they're like, eat right through your blood type and all that stuff. But I'm genuinely curious. So they take a swab of your DNA.
and they see what your body is naturally accustomed for a little bit. So they look at like your inflammation, how your body reacts to certain things, your recovery rates and all this stuff based off of, are you sensitive to gluten? Are you sensitive to this stuff? And I definitely have, I mean, I've taken out gluten out of the majority of my diet. I don't eat it very often and I felt a huge change with that too.
Mark Burik (22:01.87)
What was the change that you felt? Because for a lot of people, when you have a status quo, you often don't know that you're feeling so bad and then you make a change and it's like, whoa, my normal was terrible. This last 13 months now, I cut out drinking completely and I was like, yeah, I'm just not a morning person. I wake up kind of late and...
now with zero drinking in 13 months, like I pop out of bed in the morning. And then you just realize after just two, three weeks of zero drops of alcohol, you're like, my normal was terrible, but I wouldn't have known until I made a huge shift. So what was the change that you felt with gluten?
Corinne Quiggle (22:41.085)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (22:45.843)
Yeah.
I mean, to be honest, was a lot of, I would get stomach pains a lot, like cramping in my stomach, like super high abdominal pain. And a lot of times after meals, I'd have like little, know, like clearing my throat a little bit and some stuff like that. mainly the pain in my, I would have stomach pain. Again, I was, you know, I had, I think some...
irritabilities and then taking out gluten, my stomach felt so good that I was like, think that I am a good candidate for like, you know, being gluten free and I must have some sort of intolerance or I don't know if it's from that or like how processed the bread is that I'm eating or what. But so I am interested to get my results back from that test to see if it's truly the gluten.
I always try to argue that it's not, but everybody around me is like, yes, Corinne, it is soon. You should stay away from it, but no. Yeah, and I think just like going over the course of, you know, I had a lot of things that weren't normal, like going to the bathroom a normal amount of times, like way too much in a way, and being able to realize like this standard that I've lived a lot of my life at isn't normal. I've changed a lot of my nutrition and what I'm putting into my body.
feeling just totally different with my energy, like way healthier throughout my entire thing. And they also say like your gut is your second brain, you know, it's, it controls so much through your happy, like it really, it really does affect what goes on up there. And so making sure that you have a healthy gut. And I've started taking probiotics in the morning, a lot of like L-glutamine.
Corinne Quiggle (24:42.142)
supplements so like definitely some supplements in there as well but also just trying to eat as natural as I can. Yeah and I've added a lot of red meat recently and I'm the past like year and a half I started eating a lot of again it's very good like grass-fed grass-finished red meat but I'm not sure if my body's been reacting super well to it. I mean I've done it for a year and a half and I still feel all these benefits of eating cleaner.
in a way, I'm still playing around with my protein that I want to use. I think that I tend to do better with a leaner protein, like a chicken or a fish, because I feel really good after those. Sometimes I feel a little heavier, lethargic after the meat, but I still feel good in a way. It's still nothing like I had before.
Mark Burik (25:33.036)
Yeah. Yeah. My wife's been on that journey because she had a similar path where she's like, everything is, she was super allergic to everything growing up, like everything. But she also just said like, I've always got the sniffles or I have bad allergies. And then she starts getting all these blood tests and they're like, you're pretty much a thousand times more allergic to mold than the average person. So anything her body is super sensitive to. she's just like, I'm not.
Corinne Quiggle (25:58.877)
Mm-hmm.
Mark Burik (26:02.262)
living like this anymore. My status quo of feeling so-so, that shouldn't be my life. And then she went down the nutrition path and did all the blood tests. And there's a lot of things that have been quick upgrades for her. And for her, she hates red meat, but she eats it because it makes her feel good. So we have it once or twice a week and she totally overcooks it and ruins the taste. But she's like, I know that it's good for me. I know that it makes me feel good, but I don't like the...
The texture of it, so she just kind of gets through it, but it makes her feel good
Corinne Quiggle (26:33.908)
Yeah. And when I say even dialing back the red meat, like we were eating red meat probably for lunch and dinner every day. So, so it was like a lot. So still probably keeping it to like, I mean, twice a week doesn't sound that bad. Like still probably I'm closer to like four times a week.
Mark Burik (26:57.046)
Nice. Nice.
Corinne Quiggle (26:59.056)
Big base of my meals are a lot of protein and fat. And then I get my carbs from fruit, which don't come that much. It's hard to get carbs from fruit. So like the majority of my carbs are coming from fat, which is a little bit slower. I've also talked to my nutritionist who was like, everything looks good, but at the same time, if you are feeling a little tired, you might want to up the carbs and lower the fat because that's a little faster energy.
Mark Burik (27:13.614)
Mm-hmm.
Corinne Quiggle (27:25.679)
So again, playing with that, especially coming into training and pre-season where I'm tired a lot, but I'm also exerting myself for a lot of the day, pushing myself to a heavy max and like in a big capacity. So it's normal also to be tired and try to give myself the accurate like recovery time and yeah. And fueling my energy enough that I can like
Mark Burik (27:48.782)
That's nice. Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (27:53.975)
retain what I'm trying to build in the.
Mark Burik (27:57.634)
Well, what we have, so one of the courses that we have on our online profile, and guys, we'll link it below, it's better at beach.com forward slash nutrition if you wanna check it out, but one of the challenges during and throughout the weeks is to write down everything that you eat as any nutritionist would tell you to do, but we actually give scores. Then there's a little spreadsheet that just has you score how you felt, how you performed.
Corinne Quiggle (28:17.027)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (28:24.662)
And then once you've done this enough times where you say like, okay, I eggs, milk, coffee, and a muffin for breakfast. And then you take a look at your assessment of your performance during that practice or game. And then you can actually score it even without knowing quite what's going on with your body. You can start eliminating or adding certain things like, every time I had
Corinne Quiggle (28:27.388)
you
Mark Burik (28:53.196)
more eggs for breakfast, I felt better. Every time I added an extra slice of toast for breakfast, my performance went up during my practice and my energy level went up during my practice. So for anybody who's interested in that, just check out better beach.com forward slash nutrition. It's an eight week challenge with a tournament eating nutrition checklist as well. But paying attention to what you eat and then scoring it a lot of times, you know, especially our audience is mostly adults. It is extra homework.
Corinne Quiggle (29:21.688)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (29:22.87)
Yeah. So you're not trying to always pay attention to everything that you eat, but it might give you more hours in your day because you sleep better. You're not as tired so you can function at a higher level. And it's just, you know, that is your fuel. the, the, people tell me that they gas out during tournaments. So that's why I signed up for this workout program. My first question is, what are you eating? What are you drinking?
Corinne Quiggle (29:49.216)
Yeah.
Mark Burik (29:50.602)
You know, are you staying consistent with your eating during tournaments? So I think people don't pay attention enough to their nutrition when it could be the secret that unlocks all of your physical training and then all of your performance throughout with longevity in a tournament.
So I got one more question for you. I've got to run to a players meeting, but does your diet and what you eat change based on if you're competing or if you're just in training mode?
Corinne Quiggle (30:16.183)
They're very similar, to be honest. I don't switch up that much. It's usually a lot of protein. Maybe I'll do, I'll try to find more carbs during my time. But it's like potatoes or rice or, and it also depends on where we are in the world. I've had a lot of different.
places and usually they provide food for us as players. So sometimes our options are fairly limited. So I'll take whatever I can get. I'll find my protein, my veggies or fruit and my rice or quinoa or potatoes or something. And I just make my plate from what I have. But that's still pretty standard for what I eat a lot. Sometimes I find myself eating
I almost, yeah, I would say they're pretty consistent, but I tried, I practice also and like I play a little bit where, you know, if I need to space out, I lift in the morning or if I practice in the morning, I'm making sure I get a meal before I go lift, that I have time to digest before, just like if I play in the morning, I take a little, eat what I can and then make sure that I have time to let it go down before I play again in a tournament. yeah.
Mark Burik (31:43.586)
think that's a good way to go about it because if you're focused on performing or just living at a high level, that should be consistent. And if you're training, you know, once or twice a day, you should figure out ways to maximize what you're eating. And then if you know what makes you feel good during lifting during the week, then that's what's going to make you feel good at a tournament, right? If you change your diet radically for your tournament because you're like, I got to eat good on Friday and Saturday.
why aren't we eating good the rest of the days so that we get have good practices in good days? It doesn't make sense to switch that. So it's cool that you've figured out what works for your life and that you're still in the discovery mode. I actually do want an update on the genome because I want to hear what came back and maybe I'll sign up for it. Me and my wife will get some more tests.
Corinne Quiggle (32:18.442)
Yeah.
Corinne Quiggle (32:27.156)
I know.
Corinne Quiggle (32:34.452)
Okay.
Corinne Quiggle (32:39.09)
Yeah, no, I'm really excited about that too because I do feel like I'm in a really good spot with my nutrition and I feel good but there are places that I feel like I can optimize and I know that's a dangerous route because you can always find something to optimize but at the same time I want to be the best that I can be and get to those points and feel good and so I want to find these places where I can optimize the little spots that I can find improvement in myself and my daily life so I am excited to see what comes out of this.
Ha!
Mark Burik (33:09.198)
Well, we'll be looking for an update. Are you going to post about it at all on your social media? And where can people find you just to follow along, see your career, and see what's going on in your life?
Corinne Quiggle (33:19.291)
Yeah, I'm mainly on Instagram. I do a little bit of TikTok, but not really. It's at Karin Quiggle, just my name. But I will definitely be posting about my nutrition and my whole journey with all that too. So yeah.
Mark Burik (33:31.694)
Awesome. Cool. Corinne, thank you so much for working me in in between your practice and training times. Super appreciate it. And I'm going to message you off the podcast and see if I can get the name of the company. It's Root and Fruit.
Corinne Quiggle (33:46.992)
Root and Fruit Nutrition is my nutritionist. We're going through 3x4 genomics to get the test, but she's going to go through all of it with me because she's going to... She looks at all the deep stuff that I don't understand. They give you a packet back and she goes and looks at all the individual... I don't even know what to call them, but DNA basically strands. And she's like, this one matters more than this one, this one, you
she could explain all this better than her. That's why I somebody that and I take it from them. So yeah, excited to what comes.
Mark Burik (34:27.438)
