Assignment
Scenario #1
Imagine that you are a Sports Nutritionist. Your client is a semi-professional Men's Hockey/Baseball/Football Coach and he wants you to assist with developing a nutritional plan for his team. Your report/project should include:
1) At least 5 ways that proper nutrition can boost athletic performance. Feel free to discuss anything (provide advice) that you feel is important for this coach to comprehend concerning nutrition for this team. Be sure you support your selection. Ask yourself, "Why does this boost performance?"
2) At least 3 recommendations for the team concerning pre-game meals. What are some guidelines that they should follow during pre-game nutrition? Again, be sure to support your selection. Ask yourself, "Why did I select this as a recommendation?"
3) A 3-day sample meal plan for this team. Use the diet analysis program to develop and evaluate this plan. Assume that each player on the team is the same height, weight, and activity level for the profile. Your meal plan must provide at least 100% of the macronutrient (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrate) and food group recommendations. Also, it must provide the appropriate amount of calories from carbohydrate and fat. Include your meal plans and the "All Daily Reports" with your report/project.
4) A short one paragraph summary.
For your project, you must choose one of the following scenarios as if you were an actual professional "Sports Nutritionist". Your project is to answer the scenario with a detailed and specific report as to how you would handle the situation provided. Your project must be at least 5 pages in length (double-spaced) not counting the title page, reference page, meal plans, and the pages for the "All Daily Reports" (Saved as a PDF and attach separately in the assignment area). (Your project may be 10 -15 pages in length if you include all the pages.) Be creative with your presentation! Add some color or some pictures. Think out of the box. It does not have to be in standard APA report format. Be sure to include all the information.
