Wyoming Sports Nutrition

The University of Wyoming Sports Nutrition Department provides optimal fueling and hydration strategies, through various forms of education, to enhance the performance and recovery in student athletes. We teach student athletes how to use nutrition to complement their specific training in the weight room and on the field, court, pool, etc. Our goal is to empower athletes to maintain a lifestyle that maximizes their physical development. We encourage appropriate nutrition behavior change through a progression of individualized and realistic goals. 
 
There are two full time sports dietitians that work within the Sports Nutrition Department at Wyoming. Our sports dietitians work with sports medicine and sports performance staff to create an interdisciplinary team that encompasses all aspects of a student athlete’s well-being and performance. They also oversee the Fueling Station and Training Table to ensure that, along with nutrition education, athletes have the appropriate fuel for meals, snacks, and pre/post workouts and practices.
