Saw this on the USC board. I wonder if this is an extreme example or more the norm from most schools...
"USC football players have been getting care packages to help them with their workouts and body fuel. This past week players stared getting shipments of food that one parent described as, ‘Full meals, packaged like MRE’s but better.’ Players received supplemental protein packages, tuna, protein bars, peanut butter, basically everything the players were able to grab while at Galen Center. They also received plenty of workout gear including resistance bands, medicine balls and jump ropes. One parent told us, ‘USC really stepped up.’
On Monday USC sent out a mass email letting all of the families know what their plan was to feed the athletes and what they expected from them workout wise. We were told the word ‘workout’ was actually used, a term strength coach Aaron Ausmus always avoids (he says strength training). But with players on their own and many without significant strength training equipment, the strength staff has had to adapt."
