What's 'Eat 2 Win'?

Eat 2 Win is a nutrition education research program designed to help student-athletes understand how proper nutrition and hydration can boost their health and performance. The program includes three interactive nutrition workshops, access to online nutrition modules, and hands-on cooking classroom activities, that teach the essentials of sports nutrition. Students learn how to fuel their body for training and competition, unpack the Athlete's Plate, and discover game-day nutrition and hydration strategies. Led by UniSQ sports nutrition experts, this program will empower students to feel confident in the kitchen, with easy to prepare nutritious meals that will keep them performing at their best.

'Eat 2 Win' research

Our previous research highlights that student-athletes, especially those from regional and rural areas, often have limited nutrition knowledge and hold several misconceptions. This highlights the importance of providing integrated nutrition education led by qualified professionals, which can greatly enhance their understanding and practices around nutrition. The Eat 2 Win research aims to measure changes in student-athletes’ nutrition knowledge before and after targeted nutrition education, while also evaluating how well the educational components are received by the students.
