    I would venture to say that for the most part college athletes are very much aware of what they need to eat to sustain their bodies and perform at a higher level. I would also venture to say that to get to the college level most have had extensive training from a professional above and beyond the high school coach and they have been schooled in nutrition and its relationship to performance and injury, amongst other things. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that an athlete's nutritional needs are very different from regular people and that of course there is a direct correlation between diet and performance. Despite what many have said here...they continue to be schooled in these areas.

    Personally, I don't doubt they've been educated about the right things to eat. I'm just saying the right kinds of food aren't as readily available as they should be.

    In fact, to your point, that is exactly why the NCAA allows 1 training table meal per day to be provided by and managed by the athletic department. The NCAA agrees that student athletes require more nutritional content than the average student because they deplete more through physical exertion...

    Does UL even have a training table program?

    Have to disagree with you there....perhaps restaurants don't serve the right things but for those who shop and cook for themselves, they can and do make the right choices. Can't speak for everyone but for some.

    I think he meant what's available on campus with the meal plan. I agree with you, some of the plyers do buy their own groceries and cook...

    Well then they are breaking the rules at the U. of Florida. Went with son on recruiting visit and toured the athlete only dining room, or so we were explicitly told. Never saw it in writing tho. We also met the athlete only academic advisor. There were actually several. I'm just saying.
