No doubt that incorporating these habits into your own routine will make you that much closer to realizing your own potential. Dennis drinks zero coffee. He\u2019s pretty vocal about it, too; in a 2019 interview<\/a>, he said \u201cScrew coffee, I can\u2019t drink coffee, man. That\u2019s insane.\u201d Rodman admits that he doubts that the boost coffee gives you is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And some scientific evidence actually backs it up. Recent research has shown that the energy and performance boost that habitual coffee drinkers experience after a cup or two might just be a sign of caffeine withdrawals temporarily subsiding. The whole decaf movement is really picking up these days, and there is so much compelling evidence against caffeine you might want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depending on what your health goals and priorities are, you might want to consider natural leaf tea. <\/strong>It supposedly has some compounds that help your body process caffeine differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are rumors that he followed a vegetarian diet at times, but Dennis himself has definitely admitted to eating meat. He enjoys plain chicken and rice as his pre-game performance enhancer meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, back in 2005, he became the first man, and the first sports star, to pose naked for PETA\u2019s Anti-Fur Campaign and has spoken up against animal cruelty on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rodman\u2019s seems like a healthy, reasonable, and humble attitude. Recognize the environmental impact and moral implications of consuming animal products, but don\u2019t forget your body and its needs. Get nutrition and calories from meat and animal products, but make your plate as colorful as possible.<\/strong> And if you can afford it, always go for organic, free-range, and grass-fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n View in Instagram \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Phil Jackson, a former head coach for the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, once called Rodman the greatest athlete he had ever coached. Not the best player, the greatest athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rodman would routinely hit the gym after a few hours spent on the court just to lift weights for a couple of hours. And he would work out before the game, while the rest of the team warmed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
