Sports Performance Fueling Station

The goal of the Sports Performance Fueling Station is to fill the gaps in access to nutrients created by the student-athletes unique time demands and schedules required due to their participation in intercollegiate athletics. In addition, it improves Spider student-athletes' ability to optimize nutrient timing. Nutrient timing is the application of knowing when to eat and what to eat before during, and after exercise to promote improved recovery, injury reduction and increased performance.

While the products that are available are important, the most critical aspect to the success of the fueling station is the education provided to student-athletes on proper fueling. The fueling creates a platform to engage student-athletes on how, when and why they need fuel. Additionally, the fueling station will have a hydration aspect available 24-hours a day where student-athletes can access unlimited water and Powerade.

The Sports Performance Fueling Station also has the ability to provide student-athletes with to-go meals during the week when scheduling conflicts don't allow student-athletes time to access dining services on campus.
