FAM Athlete Food Supports Physical Enhancement for TS Tech Baseball Team Aiming for the Intercity Baseball Tournament

FAM, a support service for athlete physical development and conditioning based on sports nutrition science, is pleased to announce that it is providing 'FAM Athlete Food,' a high-protein, low-fat meal service, to the TS Tech Baseball Team (located in Konosu City, Saitama Prefecture), a corporate team aiming for its first appearance and a Top 8 finish in the Intercity Baseball Tournament.

The TS Tech Baseball Team has made 'thorough physical reinforcement' a key point for team improvement since last year, with the goal of becoming a 'strong and good team.'

While players balance corporate work with intense practice, nutritional management within limited time, such as preparing meals individually, had been a challenge. To strongly support their physical development in line with their physical reinforcement policy, 'FAM Athlete Food,' which is nutritionally designed specifically for athletes, was introduced.

'In the midst of many tough practices, I believe that diet plays a huge role for sports athletes. By providing a well-balanced FAM diet, players have been able to put in the work, and I think their bodies have probably increased by one or two sizes. There is more strength, and in terms of hitting, the power hitting has overwhelmingly increased by about three times. It's not just about the visible physique, but the power in their play has become truly visible and clear.

It has been five years since the team was founded. Objectively looking at their abilities, humanity, and approach, I believe we have the potential to become a team that can reach at least the top eight, rather than just qualifying for the Intercity Tournament, so that is what we are aiming for.'

'When I heard about meal management before I joined, players were reportedly taking photos of their meals and sending them in, but now that we can grasp all the calories and menus, the staff are very much helped by FAM in terms of meal management. For the players, I feel that 'time-saving' by eliminating cooking time is the best part of introducing FAM. It's very good for both the team and the players to be able to secure even a little more practice time while eating meals that are well-thought-out in terms of volume and calories.

In the last Intercity Tournament South Kanto regional qualifier, we missed the Intercity Tournament appearance with two outs in the ninth inning. We are working hard in practice so that we can definitely win the South Kanto regional tournament next season and aim for our first appearance in the Intercity Tournament, so all the players and staff will do their best to aim for the national tournament.'
