As the exercise physiologist of the program, you are responsible for the 
physical well being of your team and organization.  You have to know about 
the different types of training and exercise, both aerobic & anaerobic, and 
what their food and energy demands are. What kind of exercises should they 
do and WHY?  You should also know that the different athletes and position 
requirements may require different things. They will be better athletes if 
they have better nutrition programs.  How does their body work? What are 
their needs to be fueled properly?  How do you feed your athletes when they 
are traveling to away contests?  That is your job.  What do they need?  
Design and develop a pre-contest eating plan/meal.  You can use the 
nutritionist web links to help you with the pre-contest meal ideas.
Give ideas on how an athlete should eat/what they need to do when they are 
traveling.
