Aramark Collegiate Hospitality (ACH) has
launched a performance-based dining platform designed to help
student athletes excel on and off the field. Created with Division
II and III athletes in mind, Eat to Excel provides an educational,
menu and nutrition tracking solution on campuses that do not have
dedicated training tables for student athletes.
Created by Aramark Collegiate Hospitality’s registered
dietitians and culinarians, the Eat to Excel™ program features
easy-to-understand nutrition education and personalized fueling
guidance. Student athletes can access this information on campus in
dining halls through menu highlights and via catering options,
including buffets and boxed meals for away games.
Student athletes can download the Eat to Excel™ health and
wellness app that helps them to choose the right foods to eat,
personalized to each student’s training schedule, goals, and
biometrics. The “plate” recommendation provided by the app—which is
fully integrated with the campus dining program —varies based on
each student athlete’s needs of training, resting, or preparing for
competition, recommending just the right combination of protein,
carbohydrates, and colors (fruits and vegetables).
“We think student athlete success is dependent on a sound
nutrition foundation and education to help them achieve their
goals,” said Dan Wainfan, Vice President of Health, Wellness, and
Nutrition. “We are excited to offer this program with all student
athletes in mind.”
Traditionally, comprehensive training table support has largely
been reserved for Division I athletics programs. Aramark’s Eat to
Excel™ program makes it easy for campuses to support all of their
student athletes more comprehensively than before, particularly
those in Division II and III programs. Students can maximize their
meal plans to gain the fuel they need with personalized dietary
plans unique to each student’s sport, activity level, and schedule.
The program is designed with an approach similar to a traditional
training menu but is made for every athlete and every higher
education institution, giving student athletes access to balanced
nutrition for peak performance.
Eat to Excel™ was piloted in the spring 2023 semester at select
schools and was enthusiastically received by student athletes. The
program is promoted through tabling events, live demonstrations and
assistance, peer-to-peer communication, dining hall signage,
website promotion, and direct collaboration with the campus
leaders, athletic director, and coaching staff to reinforce the
benefits of the program and assist in driving performance
gains.
“Proper nutrition is critical for athletes to train and perform
at a high level. I really believe it can be another competitive
advantage for athletes, similar to what strength training did for
athletes many years ago. The knowledge we have today to customize
nutritional needs for various sports is amazing. That is why I
think the Eat to Excel™ program is important,” said Barry Fried,
Director of Athletics at Viterbo University.
