Chad Morris - Team Nutrition

[twistitup]

Is he bringing the team nutritionist from SMU, retaining the one CBB used or hiring the best in the country. I'm a fan of total focus on team nutrition and I think this is ONE of the reasons we could not finish games in the 4th qtr - we didn't have the proper diet to finish strong.

Imho, I don't think CBB took team nutrition (or his own) as seriously as he should have - I hope CCM takes it to the next level.

4th quarter woes was all between our ears. That and conditioning. Not running gassers and no two-a-days

While I obviously can't speak or comment as to the TEAM'S nutritional situation, I believe we can ALL say without argument that Bret's dietary situation was miserable.

Do you feel better now? Can we move on?

We can....do you think 4th qtr issues were due, in part, to not focusing enough on team nutrition and calories needed to finish games?

FAYETTEVILLE — Alex Collins never paid quite as much attention in high school to his diet and sleeping habits as he did his performance on the football field.

Thanks to the constant needling of coach Bret Bielema, the Razorbacks' running back appears to have finally found a balance between his off- and on-the-field preparations — much to the dismay of opposing defenses.

I do not know and will never know so im not worried about it. I do think, as I said above, that our problems have been mostly mental and partially lack of conditioning

Collins: "I now eat breakfast, lunch and dinner," Collins said. "That's a big part of it, and that's basically it. Just doing everything the right way, going to workouts, working hard and eating after that because it would be waste if you're working out and burning all the energy and not replacing it with a good meal."


I'm not talking about eating 3 damn meals a day - I'm talking about specialized diets. Get real....bama has a team chefs cooking up specific players custom meals and we are bragging about just getting 3 a day

lets go full vegan

would be a great story. imagine what the other team feels when the get beat by 'the vegans'.

I read an article sometime in the past couple of years that one of the Hog DBs is a vegan.  Can't remember which one.

I might try converting to being a vegan.  If it weren't for chocolate milk and bacon.

No two a days was not the staff, NCAA mandated. Having said that, the team was definitely not in good enough condition, most of our opponents were making up for that rule change, we sadly, did not.

Deon Edwards, redshirted last season. Supposed to be a big hitter, we'll see.

Yeah, I feel GREAT!!!! Thanks for asking though. So there you go...and moved on long ago.

Geez, lighten up.  I posted the article because CBB talked about this type stuff from time to time.  I was showing the other side, not trying to be a jerk.  I also worked with someone whose son was a player and spoke of their meal plan.  What do you think they eat for those meals, pop tarts and CeCe's pizza?  You post all the time so I know you are knowledgeable, maybe instead of telling me to get real you should look more into our meal plan and less into Bama's. 

Here's another decent article:

There are apparently a higher percentage of vegetarians among pro athletes than the general population, by quite a bit.

I tried going vegetarian once but meat just tastes too dang good. I have high hopes for the "Impossible Burger" that has been getting lots of press lately, though.

What was our players' nutrition under Bielema or are you doing like every other poster and throwing crap against a wall?

[Cinco de Hogo]

Do you feel better now? Can we move on?

Well you can't, you just ran out of gas.  LOL!

[Cinco de Hogo]

Make be instead of making fun of the OP and asking him to go into detail about the former staffs nutritional plan you should explain why we seemed to run out of gas and have 2nd half meltdowns.  Or maybe you should just say CCM had this covered since you obviously don't know darn.

You do realize two-a-days were phases out per NCAA this year?

Thanks for that link. Actually a pretty solid diet plan for an athlete.

Ask Nick Saban how he works around that rule because I would bet he has found a way.  Maybe analysts numbers 38,39 and 40 who are not in the staff but are getting a free education from some unidentifiable source is running it.  Ten years from now they will be making 1.5 mil as part of his staff and in fifteen they will be making 7 mil as a newly minted head coach.

No Frito Pie and Chocolate Soldier for you!

A coach can control what gets served in the athletic department,  but controlling what players eat or don't eat when away from school is another matter. Good luck finding 18-22 year-olds with such discipline.

Pretty solid...

Except for the fact we run out of gas in the 4th qtr.

Maybe we need to adjust our pregame meals or halftime pb&j's to get more out of our players late in the game. If we could have finished games - CBB may still have a job

Hopefully CCM has a diff plan - the current one does not seem to be working.

How to Eat Like the Hogs (The Football Players, That Is)

I've always considered myself to be a good eater, but DANG, SON, those bad boys in red can put some food away!  I met with Jacob Clark, a sports nutritionist graduate assistant for the Razorback Football team, to learn more about the nutritional lifestyles of our beloved Hogs and was shocked by what he told me.

I've outlined seven of the typical meals that a football player will eat in just one day.  If you're a true fan, try them out for yourself and see if you have what it takes to eat like a Hog!!

6 eggs

1 cup of veggies (spinach, onions, and bell peppers)

Adjustments to that plan needed - we need 4 qtrs out of our boys

[NuttinItUp]

Where did you have one? I can't find any restaurants that serve it.

[From Tusk Till Dawn]

Adjustments to that plan needed - we need 4 qtrs out of our boys

I agree we need 4 qtrs, too many leads that slipped away.  My point was that there is a program in place, how well it's followed I dont know.  I'm not a nutritionist but would be curious how this compares with other programs, particularly those that use more tempo.

[oldfart]

i am a nutritionist and that sounds like a pretty good plan... i dont think the 4th quarter dropoffs is related to the diet they are getting...

I'd be OK with it if they were forced to kill in order to feed the homeless. I don't mind vegans. I just don't want puthies...

This.
Every team takes on the head coach's personality.

[Ash]

Part of the reason I feel we had so many 4th quarter let downs was our team not being very resilient on a morale level. That isn't on the players that was on coach. Whenever they would show him on the sideline he normally looked like he was trying to figure out who's fart he had just smelled.
