TEMPE, Ariz. -- March was nutrition awareness month and Sun Devil Athletics dedicated time to educating its student-athletes on nutritional education and specifically dietary supplements through a campaign called Supplements Demand Attention (SDA).
Through a partnership with the ASU College of Health Solutions, the SDA campaign highlights three elements they are trying to implement with student athletes:
1- Ask Questions
2- Take Ownership
3- Make Safe Choices
If not prepared with the proper education, student-athletes can be at risk of using dietary supplements that might contain NCAA banned substances. There is a gray area with supplements due poor regulation, allowing them to be available to anyone.
