Established in 2018 by the Rice Sports Medicine team. The Rice Sports Performance Nutrition program is the first in Rice Athletics history. Created as a means to help Rice student-athletes get a competitive edge. The Nutrition Center has now blossomed into much more than a stand for student-athletes to grab food on the go. Through the Rice Sports Performance Nutrition website we now offer educational resources for Rice student-athletes to #FuelExcellence
