Dr. William Germano, CATZ Performance Director, Provides Feature Article to Ultimate Athlete Magazine on Wrestling Nutrition
Success in wresting, perhaps more so than any other sports, is often directly proportional to the physical conditioning and fitness level of the athlete. Unfortunately, the nature of the sports lends itself to practices that commonly result in poor diet and nutrient intake that have an adverse effect on performance.

Congratulations to CATZ athlete Mike Laluna who recently signed a contract with the Detroit Tigers Major League Baseball team.
Mike trains at CATZ in Commack, and was recently quoted as saying, “As a professional baseball player, I needed a workout that is very sport specific, tough, yet entertaining at the same time – and CATZ has provided this and so much more. Since I began training with CATZ, my leg power has dramatically increased, shoulder stability has reached a new level, core strength has become incredible, and my overall pitching velocity has reached an all time high.”
Mike is set to report to Spring Training in Lakeland Florida this February, and will be assigned to the Western Michigan Whitecaps of the Midwestern Single A League. Congrats Mike – way to go!
