Fueling Stations
New NCAA legislation passed in 2014 allows institutions the opportunity to provide snacks and meals to Student Athletes. As part of those new legislative changes, CU Athletics has expanded food service operations to offer Fueling Stations to all Student Athletes. The Fueling Station provides a variety of unprocessed foods that assist student athletes in meeting their daily energy requirements for high level training.
“Performance Starts with Food”
We strive to fuel our athletes on whole food, minimally processed, and functional foods to greater improve their health and performance. You can often find our Sports Dietitian making rounds at Fueling Station providing hands on education and nutrition coaching to guide our athletes in their fueling choices.
