Sylvie Vilaca

I grew up in rural Nova Scotia, playing every sport I could and figure skating on the outdoor pond down the street every winter. I was lucky enough to play rugby at the University of New Brunswick, and that's where my passion for sports performance started. I realized that it could be a career, not just a passion.

There have been a couple, but the most impactful was a debilitating back injury that left me bedridden for three weeks. During that time, I realized how important nutrition is for the healing process. After getting myself healthy - through the help of some amazing people - I wanted the opportunity to do that for others and dove into the field of Sports Nutrition. Since then, I've had an amazing opportunity to work with the great athletes of Gary Roberts Performance, consult for NHL teams, and help pro athletes in the UFC, NFL, NCAA, and Olympians to improve their performance.

I saw firsthand how proper nutrition can change your life and it became my mission is to help athletes - current and past - experience the same type of confidence and accomplishment I felt.
