ONE flyweight kickboxing world champion Superlek Kiatmoo9 urges fellow fighters to incorporate sports science into their training and preparation if possible to help elevate their game.
'The Kicking Machine' shared this in an interview with ONE Championship, where he talked about his experience working with a sports science expert in preparation for his title bid against ONE bantamweight Muay Thai king Jonathan Haggerty in the United States next month.
The 28-year-old Thai superstar said:
"Every athlete should work with a nutritionist and a sports scientist. They can help you develop your potential in incredible ways. If you train alone without these two, you might reach a certain level, but with their help, you can take your performance to the next level."
