An athlete’s body needs the right fuel at the right times…

When you have a high-performance car, you don’t put “regular” fuel in it. The preferred fuel for high-performance vehicles is “premium”, or high-octane gasoline. Higher octane gasoline allows the engine to work more efficiently and helps prevent engine damage in the long run. Athletes’ bodies are like high-performance vehicles. We need to fuel them with only the best nutrient-dense foods.

It is the mission of the NAU Lumberjack Performance nutrition team to provide all student athletes with educational resources on nutrition to promote academic and athletic success.
