After lunch, there is just enough time to grab a short nap before going to the training room for treatment. Treatment is complete and it's time for practice. Practice is intense, but the hard work is worth it. After practice, a rinse in the shower leaves just enough time for dinner before study hall. A student-athlete's schedule is hectic.
Time is precious and balance is the secret ingredient.
The focus is on achieving the highest level in the classroom as well as on the playing field. In order for this to change, nutrition must become important to the student-athlete as well as the entire athletics department. Nutrition education for athletes and coaches is needed. Student-athletes must understand the value of proper nutrition, as well as the potential problems in supplementation. The Division I Student-Athlete Advisory Committee feels strongly that nutritional education and making healthy eating a priority is important.
