Publicist / Marketing Director
You have 3 main jobs to do. First, you are to to design and distribute
information brochures (publication/newsletter) to hand out to your
athletes. These brochures should have good information that you think would
be very important for an athlete to have. Ideas may include general
nutritional information, training tips, drugs such as alcohol and thier
effect on athletic performance, steriods, etc.
Second, you also will design posterboards to hang up in the cafeteria that
contain useful dietary information. Like the brochures, have information
that you think would be important and useful for your athletes to know.
Finally, you will design individual nutrition tracking cards (include daily
& weekly) for the athletes to keep track of and evaluate their meal choices
with the nutrition staff. This way they can keep track of the things they
eat and know if they are following their meal plans.
The information that you put on your brochures and posterboard(s) is
entirely up to you. Think about what things you want to teach your athletes
and educate them! Below is many useful links for information you can use.
