Sports Nutrition Sports Nutrition, an individual or team event, recognizes participants who use Family and Consumer Sciences skills to plan and develop an individualized nutritional plan to meet the needs of a competitive student athlete in a specific sport.

Sports Nutrition In advance, participants will prepare a sample nutrition and hydration plan based upon nutritional and energy needs of the student athlete.

Sports Nutrition The participants must prepare a file folder, visuals, an oral presentation, and demonstrate a method to be used by the athlete to assist with nutrition management.

Sports Nutrition Participant(s) will submit one letter-size file folder containing three identical sets, with each set stapled separately, of the items listed on the Sports Nutrition Specification page to the event room consultant. The file folder must be labeled (either typed or handwritten) in the top left corner with Rule requirements for this year therefore read Eligibility and General Rules.
