Sponsored by ’s Nutrition Education and Promotion Association (NEPA), a student-run organization that brings together 鶹ƵUniversity students interested in nutrition and encourages them to share that interest with the surrounding campus and community, the event is free and open to the public. It will be of particular interest to those in the nutrition and athletics fields of study and work, as well as student-athletes.
As director of clinical sport nutrition for The Ohio State University’s 37 athletic teams, including the 2015 national champions in men’s football, Wick has been credited with leading a quiet revolution. Since Wick was hired, the results from players’ improved diets are dramatic. She stresses the importance of a balanced diet heavy on fruits and vegetables and provides players with individualized guidance, reviewing body composition and matching it with the physical requirements of each player’s position.
