Q2
We worried whether our food would run out before we got money to buy more. Was that often,
sometimes, or never true for your household in the past 12 months?
Often True

The food that we bought just didn't last, and we didn't have money to get more. Was that often,
sometimes, or never true for your household in the past 12 months?
Often True
Sometimes True
Never True
Don't Know
Note: Response of " often true " or " sometimes true " to either or both questions is an indicator of Low Food Security.
athletes typically have due to their high training load and
quantity of lean muscle. Put simply, they need more food
than the general population.
In college athletics, many teams have GPS data they
pour over every evening to determine training load.
They give out Oura rings or Fitbits to measure sleep
patterns and recovery. They highlight and promote
services such as Headspace to help with mental health.
And while all of these can be a part of reducing injuries
and can have a positive influence on health and training
for the athlete, the negative impacts of not having
available the basic human need of food is damaging
both psychologically and physiologically. The lack of
availability leads to injuries and a decline in
peak performance.
MITIGATIONS AND SOLUTIONS,
Fortunately, there are many ways to assist students in
getting the proper nutrition and feeling more stable in
their current situation as student-athlete. It is critical to
be understanding of the athlete's situation and realistic
with solutions. It is critical to remember to listen and
support. If an athlete looks up to you and you dismiss
receiving outside funding or aid, this can negatively
impact the athlete's outcome. They may feel ashamed
to receive assistance or be determined not to do so.
Additionally, be realistic about what you are asking
from your athlete regarding their nutrition decisions. As
someone who wants an athlete to reach their potential,
it is easy to list off a perfect menu for them to consume
daily or weekly. However, it is more helpful to discuss
with the athlete what they feel they have money and
time for and come up with nutritional compromises as
needed. Another issue that occurs is recommending
athletes to take supplements, which are typically much
more expensive than food products. First assess if
the athlete is getting enough food, quality food, and a
variety of food before pressuring them into purchasing
supplemental products.
Do not be afraid to ask your athletes if they are
having issues with their access to food. According to
Mayeux (2020), BMI was higher in the food insecure
group. This bolsters the argument that you cannot
tell if someone has food security issues by observing
them. Consider adding this two-question validated
Food Insecurity Questionnaire called the Hunger Vital
SignTM to a Pre-Participation Exam or your beginningof-the-year
screening.
It can be extremely helpful to know what local
resources are available. Often on college campuses,
there is a Human Health and Resources Department.
Fostering a good relationship with that office can
be prudent, so you can receive updates on different
programming and resources. There are also food
