Nutrition
pantries in most communities, including specific oncampus
ones as well. If your athletes are US citizens,
applying for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP) can be an enormous aid. USDA.gov can
help you locate a local office, or links to apply online.
Speak with your administrator or budget advocates
to request an increase in food budgets for your athletic
department. When expecting our student-athletes to
perform and to be healthy doing so, departments need
to be able to support the students and their ability to
achieve appropriate food access. Many schools have
astronomically high recruiting budgets, and much lower
budgets to support the nutritional health and well-being
of the athletes that are already donning the school's
logo. Until athletic departments realize it is in their best
interest financially to support these students using food
to reduce injuries and prevent academic ineligibility,
continue to campaign for increased nutrition budgets.
Know that many student-athletes want to perform
their best, stay healthy, and reduce the stress that may
come from affording quality food. Not every athlete has
the know-how to use individual ingredients to form a
meal or the time to put everything together. Consider
helping them make better decisions at fast-food
restaurants, to-go items at grocery stores, or frozen
meals if that seems to be the best option for the
individual. Here are some low-cost food items that can
help student-athletes maintain a well-balanced diet and
meet their caloric needs.
* Oats
* Dried Grains (Rice, Barley, Pastas)
* Potatoes
* Breads
* Dried or Canned Beans
* Dried or Canned Legumes
* Nut Butters
* Eggs
* Canned Meats (Chicken, Tuna, Salmon)
* Canned Vegetables
* Canned Fruits
* Seasonal Fruits and Veggies
* Encourage freezing foods when they're available for
later times; this can particularly be good for meat on
sale or bulk items
* On sale frozen meals, this is good for athletes that
don't know how to cook or do not feel they have
