SPORTS NUTRITION

Optimal nutrition is essential in bringing Princeton Tiger Performance to the next level. The Tiger Fueling Station, a key asset of Princeton Tiger Performance, is located in the lobby of Jadwin Gymnasium and is designed to fuel athletes effectively and conveniently. Athletes are encouraged to stop by the fueling station before and/or after training sessions to ensure proper nutrition for peak Princeton Tiger Performance results. The fueling station is stocked with both whole foods and convenient options to help supplement student- athlete’s nutritional needs.
The Princeton Tiger Performance Nutrition Program functions under Athletic Medicine as a part of University Health Services (UHS) and is run by our Certified Sports Dietitian. Sports nutrition services help student athletes optimally fuel their bodies in order to maximize training, enhance performance, and achieve overall health. As a contributor to Princeton Tiger Performance, sports nutrition services include:

Individual Appointments

Individual appointments are available to student athletes at any time, no referral necessary. Our sports dietitian helps student athletes navigate goals and concerns including: improving performance, body composition, fueling for competition, hydration protocols, fatigue or low energy, irregular periods, weight management, decreased performance, supplement review, immune support, and injury recovery and/or prevention.

Team Talks

The Sports RD provides formal and informal presentations and talks to teams on topics from sports nutrition basics to fueling for the championships. Team Talks can be requested by a head coach, strength coach, athletic trainer, or the Director of Performance. Specific needs, topics and logistics are tailored to the team and situation.

Body Composition Assessments

Individual body composition assessments can be performed with our Sports Dietician by request of a student athlete. Team assessments can be done at the request of an athletic trainer, strength coach, or the Director of Performance.

Dining Hall Tours and Group Meetings

Individual student athletes or teams may meet with the Sports RD as a group for questions about navigating Princeton’s dining halls or eating clubs; position specific needs and goals; or for shared concerns.

Supplement Evaluations and Banned Substance Avoidance

Athletic Medicine and the Athletics Department require student-athletes who are considering taking a supplement to meet with the sports RD, or have the supplement reviewed by the Sports RD first. Before taking supplements, all student athletes are encouraged to review the following:
