Abstract
The intent of this article is to describe the process of creating a dual-purpose athlete
nutrition advising program at the collegiate level. The first goal was to help student
athletes enhance their performance through optimal fuel and hydration. The second
goal was to provide experiential learning for nutrition students. This program provided
a platform for nutrition students to gain hands-on experience assessing, monitoring,
and educating athletes in relation to nutrition for performance. The implication for
practice is based on recent growth and increased interest in the performance nutrition
field that drives the need for more formal training programs.
