NSF and a team of Big Ten Sports Dietitians discussed the top concerns when fueling elite athletes. These college athletes have pressures that range from academics, social and economic status, and, most of all, athletic performance. The panel of nutritionists will be covering topics such as:
• Nutrition needs of elite athletes; what do they want to eat vs. what do they need to eat?
• Challenges in creating successful nutrition regimens for the busy life of a college athlete
• What role dietary supplements and functional foods play in the success of these regimens
