THE EPIPHANY
After College, I decided to pursue my dream of making the USA Olympic Swimming Team. At the time, I thought I had ticked all the boxes needed for swimming success. I had one of the best coaches at the time, I was training longer hours and harder, had the dedication, talent and great fast teammates.
“I didn’t even make the Olympic trial cuts. I wasn’t prepared for that. I was training three times as much as I had in college, I had one of the best coaches in the world, and my times had actually gotten slower, but I figured out why...”
Fast-forward 44 years and Tim is breaking world records and achieving lifetime bests. The secret? Going from an Ivy League School, Wharton, where he was consuming the carefully constructed meals provided by the University, three times a day to being out on his own in California, his diet devolved to consist of convenient junk food that, while rich in calories, was basically bankrupt in the nutrition department. Without the right nutrients, his body couldn’t repair effectively, especially under the stress load of longer training times. This is what lost him those precious few seconds.
WE STARTED AND THEN EXPLODED
This realization was the catalyst for starting a performance nutrition company. Together with some of the best minds in nutritional science, Tim formulated P2Life products for the unique nutritional needs of swimmers. In 1985 P2Life was founded in South Africa, where it is traded as Ultima and Ultima Sport. His daughter Madelaine now runs Ultima & P2Life in South Africa and has been instrumental in helping South African athletes to realize their Olympic dreams. In 2012 over 40% of the USA Men’s Olympic Swim Team trusted P2Life to fuel them so they could bring home 18 medals. Fast forward to today, we have some of the youngest, brightest and most promising athletes taking our products and working to create legacies.
