Post workout nutrition is paramount in building a successful football program and preparing our Hawk athletes for the rigors of a Texas High School football season.  Beginning in January, the Hawk First Down Club will fund the bulk purchase of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein to provide Hawk football players with the post-workout nutrition they need.  Many of our athletes are undernourished, especially considering the amount of calories and protein they need to fuel the work they put in, and the lack of calories and protein in the school lunches.

Your contribution and support will fund the purchase of 84 total servings of protein for one player for January through May 2025.  If you were to buy the same protein for a player through Amazon or other vendors, the cost would be $85.99 for 73 servings.  Our coaching staff has worked with Optimum Nutrition to allow the Hawk First Down Club to purchase protein for the entire program in bulk with an educational discount.  As a Hawk Football parent or supporter, the cost for one player is $50 for this period.

The players will learn more of how this program works at school, and protein shakers will be provided at no charge.  The players will be able to choose between chocolate and vanilla, and can mix the protein powder with water, but preferably with milk from the cafeteria (calories!).

Why is this important?  Nutritionists recommend 0.6 to 0.9 grams of protein per pound of body weight for men to gain muscle.  This program will supply our athletes with 24g post-workout, helping to meet those metrics and aid in muscle recovery (muscle protein synthesis is highest after a resistance workout).  The goal is for every participant in the Hawk Football Program to gain lean muscle mass to increase size, but more importantly, be more resistant to injury.  There is perhaps no greater benefit from this effort than the increased confidence that your player, by increasing muscle density, will be further protected from injury on the field.
