What Is an Athlete Fueling Station?
NCAA deregulated fueling for Division I schools in 2014. Since then, a-number of colleges and universities have been creating athlete fueling stations to meet the nutritional needs for their athletes. This is a location within a sports training area on-campus which acts a an unmanned (usually) food, snack and beverage area serving free products to students looking for a something to sustain themselves during the day and night.
The goal of the Athlete Fueling Station is to fill the gaps in access to nutrients created by the student-athletes unique time demands and schedules required due to their participation in intercollegiate athletics. In addition, it improves student-athletes’ ability to optimize nutrient timing. Nutrient timing is the application of knowing when to eat and what to eat before during, and after exercise to promote improved recovery, injury reduction and increased performance.

Our first series of snack and beverage programs (including with Best Buy, Lowe’s, Hilton and Staples) grew to an annual $500 million and evolved into new programs within the food service formats (smoothie, juice, yogurt, coffee, deli, colleges and universities, hospitals, offices and factories, stadiums and arenas, theme parks, water parks, zoos, aquariums and more).
