@HuskyInAZ I hear ya but i'm suggesting that nutrition can make such a huge difference in player development and performance that it should be treated like other aspects of training. Did Shaq decide to blow off practice or not watch film? No, because it's mandatory. At the very least they should have prepared meals 5 days a week during the season. It's an expense that is necessary.HuskyInAZ said:In your post, you quote Shaq, "no one listens to a nutritionist." Perhaps that should be your first clue. And based on the body types of last year's OL, I'm pretty sure they ignored the nutritionist as well.
Get the right type of player, they will heed the advice of the nutritionist and reap the benefits. But at the end of the day, they are 18-23 year olds. At that age, I'd have told a nutritionist to pound sand as well.
Apparently there is some sort of nutrition plan and a nutritionist but think of it this way. Arguably your biggest impact player last year didn't figure out that veggies and proper nutrition helps performance until a few weeks ago after he leaves for the draft. This is a guy who was an all in hustle type of guy who never cut corners with training or preparation and he listened to the coaches and bought in to their program. That tells me that the nutritionalist and/or the nutrition program wasn't considered an important part of training or the football program which is a shame because it's such a basic part of athletic performance and development.

You are correct CMBVDTvet20005, an apple a day keeps the scrote doc away

The point is that you recruit kids who get it. That includes the nutrition aspect. If not, the coaching staff has such limited time with their kids, it's a crap shoot.
It's really no different than kids buying into the weight training regimen. Some will, some won't. Sure they'll work out, but how hard, how committed?
How can a 2 star lineman become NFL starter? The best chance they have is by buying into a strength and nutrition program and fully maximize their potential. Some kids buy in, some don't. The key is to recruit kids who have a higher likelihood of buying in. -
The nutrition department is a HUGE part of this program now. Not sure where this is coming from... They feed the players as much as allowed under the new rules which is basically every meal during the season, plus recovery protein shakes post practice and workouts. They can't feed them as much in offseason.CMBTvet05 said:

The rowing team had a nutritional program in the 1930s. Eat vegetables and lean meat. This shit ain't hard.
The problem is undoing the impulsive tendencies of kids these days and overcoming the marketing messages of the agricultural-industrial complex. -
Give me a break....You can have all the nutritional guidelines you want....yo can have them at the training table and have exact guidelines for everyone. Makes a great article for SI
But when they are smoking dope on Friday night and ordering a large pizza with wings and 10 sides of ranch it all goes out the window.
These coaches have zero clue what these guys are doing and eating and anything that suggests otherwise is a bald faced lie. -

The players aren't under supervision 24/7. And they are poor. Fast food and pizza are a staple of most American diets.

I remember reading articles during the last offseason that Jaydon Mickens was bummed he couldn't get french fries at lunch anymore and had to each veggies.
Also, now that all the food that is provided by UW to athletes is free now, they should STFU and appreciate it. -
