More About Bob

 

Personal:

After a short stint in southern California as a bleached blonde boogie boarder, Bob made his way to the mountains of Colorado where he spent his middle and high school years. Sports shaped his life (and career) as he grew up playing soccer and basketball, hiking/backpacking and downhill and cross-country skiing. Except for sitting in the classroom, he was always outside.

Once Bob stepped on the Colorado State University (go Rams!) campus, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his studies, or his life for that matter. Since his dream of becoming a professional athlete didn't come to fruition, he decided he wanted to have a career working with athletes in some capacity.

So, he navigated college and received three degrees (one undergrad and two graduate) in hopes to use his gift of helping people, specifically athletes.

 

Sport:

Bob played club soccer the first two years of his undergrad but then, off of a dare from a friend, entered the world of endurance sports. Even though he flailed hard during his first sprint triathlon, it was "love" at first sight, so to speak. After finishing almost last in his first triathlon, his intense drive to succeed and question everything actually led him to his career of helping athletes succeed in their health and sport goals. 

He was so intrigued with physical, mental and nutritional training for endurance events, that he added many more to his race portfolio including the Boston Marathon, six Ironman races, the Leadville 100 mile trail running race (twice), the Leadville 100 mile mountain bike race (twice), and even became a Leadman, completing all six of the Leadville endurance events in a span of 7 weeks.

 

Professional:

His college degrees are in Exercise and Sports Science, Health and Exercise Science and Food Science and Human Nutrition. He is a Registered Dietitian/Board Certified Specialist in Sports Dietetics (CSSD), Exercise Physiologist, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and a High Performance Endurance Coach.

Bob was the former Director of Sports Nutrition for the University of Florida and served as a Sport Dietitian for the US Olympic Committee, where he traveled to the 2008 Summer Olympic Games as a Sport Dietitian for the US Olympic Team and the personal Sport Dietitian/Exercise Physiologist for the Olympic Triathlon Team.

Being an out of the box thinker, Bob created the concepts of Nutrition Periodization™ and Metabolic Efficiency Training™ in the early 2000s. Both of these concepts led him to create the Optimal Nutrition System™, which all of his Performance Dietitians at eNRG Performance use when working with athletes.

His intense love for food also led him to create the snack company, All Around Snack Co.

Bob has worked with a variety of recreationally competitive, professional and Olympic athletes from sports including triathlon, duathlon, ultra-running, ultra-cycling (road and mountain), track and field, marathon, mountain biking, road and track cycling, cross country, swimming, football, hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, tae kwon do, motocross, gymnastics, Nascar, tennis, golf, wrestling, weightlifting, rowing, skeleton, alpine skiing, nordic skiing, sailing, paralympic sailing, canoeing and kayaking, Crossfit, mountaineering, professional basketball, professional golf, and obstacle course racing.

Bob specializes in leading athletes to optimal performance through the use of science and real-life training applications that balance life, work and family. 

Currently, Bob owns eNRG Performance, All Around Snack Co., and is a consulting Sport Dietitian for the University of Denver Athletic Program and the Vegas Golden Knights Professional Hockey Team.

When not spending time with his family, he loves trail running, mountain biking and training for obstacle course racing.

“I have worked with Bob Seebohar for the last year or so, and I have learned a lot about not only nutrition, but also about myself. The human body is complex, but Bob is able to break down the science and make nutrition easy. Plus, his plan will make your metabolism much more efficient, which will help any person reach their goals. He also understands that sport is not just about training and nutrition, but also includes being psychologically well. I always enjoyed our phone calls because he really looked at the big picture and helped me adjust to get the right nutrition that I needed."

- Ben Kanute, 2016 Olympian (triathlon)

“I want to say THANK YOU for teaching me how to fuel my life and workouts properly. You REALLY made a difference in my performance this year. I followed your recommendations and while I had no expectations this year at all due to minimal time (mom duties flooded my schedule) - I won overall female for EVERY race this season except for 70.3 - which I won my division at (out of 170 ladies!) and a ticket to 70.3 Worlds.

I just want to THANK YOU - for your help and for sharing your incredible knowledge.”

- Caitlin D., Competitive Age-Group Triathlete

“Being coached by Bob has been an amazing experience. His keen sense of humor and vast amount of experience is what drew me to him. The fact that he is an RD and sports physiologist has been a key to the success in my training. He watches my numbers but also listens to how I feel. He is quick to make changes to my plan if and when they are needed. He’s a fun coach but not one that coddles me. He listens and is attentive and encouraging. The workouts are never boring and certainly not cookie cutter. I’ve learned a lot from Bob and have great respect for his coaching capabilities.”

- Susan M., Top Age-Group Triathlete

“Working with Bob has been transformative for my training and for me personally.  Bob earned the nickname VOG for Voice of God as I trained with Bob for the Ironman World Championships in Kona for almost ten months, yet I never met him in person until the week of my race. Throughout my training, I followed Bob’s advice to the nines, believing that if I put in the effort the results would follow.  


Not only did Bob create my training program but he taught me that nutrition is without a doubt the fourth leg of an Ironman race. He had me practice my nutrition for all the long workouts and worked with me to tweak my race day nutrition which was a game changer.  Bob’s expertise in training kept me free from injury and healthy.  His workouts are formulaic, scientific and varied so there is no boredom.

He has a natural ability to inspire and he gave me the tools to compete, taught me to be confident in my abilities and to be proud of my efforts. He listens and is able to focus in on the individual needs of each athlete.  Rather than prescribing off the shelf workouts, Bob created a weekly schedule based on my calendar and he would move workouts around to accommodate travel and important family functions.

I introduced Bob to a friend who is now working with him and after my race my friend asked if training with Bob helped my race performance. I assured him that if he follows Bob’s advice, he will be the absolute best he can be on race day. I was completely prepared for every obstacle that came my way in the race as I had practiced what Bob preaches! There were no surprises on the course which says a lot about Bob and how he prepared me for the long day.

I am incredibly grateful for all of Bob’s guidance as he made the journey as special as the actual race. It was truly magical from start to finish.”
