\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA mainstay within the performance industry for nearly 10 years, Natalie Kollars has been an anchor for the Exos Sports division since 2017. Having first arrived at the world-renowned performance enterprise back in 2013 as an intern, Kollars eventually earned her keep at Exos in a full-time capacity, leading some of the world\u2019s best professional athletes en route to greatness. \n\nAs one of the few leading female performance experts in her field, Kollars annually directs Exos\u2019 NFL Off-Season Program, preparing the NFL\u2019s best for their return to the gridiron the following season. A true swiss army knife, Kollars\u2019 expertise stretches across injury prevention, nutrition strategies, speed, field work, strength, and power. Known in some circles as “Chef Nat,” she doubles down as a scratch chef in her downtime, devoting herself to her rooted passion of nutrition and cooking. www.chefnatskitchen.com, @nataliekollars\n

What does it mean to be an innovator to you?<\/h2>\nTo me, being an innovator means using my knowledge and experience to challenge the status quo. In the field of sports performance, we are always searching for ways to find a new competitive edge for our athletes, making it necessary to progress and evolve year after year. I believe in using my platform, specifically as a female in a male-dominated industry, to not only make a positive impact on my athletes lives, but the lives of other females in this field.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
