Strength & Conditioning CoordinatorBlack Hills State University
The Build Your Base Program has been instrumental in helping our student athletes improve their dietary, training, and recovery habits. Being able to give our student athletes a lean protein source immediately post workout is a huge advantage in starting the recovery process and helps us recover before our next training session. Not only is the beef great, but the educational resources have been huge for helping educate our Black Hills state student athletes on not only nutrition but hydration and sleep as well. Our program is on the rise thanks to the help of the Build Your Base program!
