Who We Are

It is the mission of the West Virginia University Sports Nutrition and Performance Program to provide every student athlete with sports nutrition services utilizing current, evidence-based resources to promote academic and athletic success. Our program is dedicated to ensuring optimal energy intake, nutrient timing, and fluid balance while sustaining the overall well-being of each individual athlete at West Virginia University. It is the intent of this program to enhance health and performance of WVU Athletics and to provide these individuals with the best care possible. It is our purpose and goal to educate student-athletes on the foundations of proper nutrition for athletic performance and recovery in training and competition as well as to counsel athletes on the application of cutting-edge sports nutrition practices.

What We Do

Fueling Station

We provide healthy snacks, drinks and recovery smoothies for the athletes in the Coliseum. This helps to make sure that the athletes are being provided with the best nutrition possible at all times. Our hours of operation are at times when the athletes don't have access to the cafeteria for food. The fueling station is pertinent to the athletes maintaining the proper nutrients throughout the day, especially after a hard workout.

Please only apply if you can commit to a weekly schedule and are available for an interview.  At this time, we only have a few shifts open for the remainder of the semester, but will be needing people for next semester.
