ODESSA, Texas – Student-athletes at The โUniversity of โฃTexas โคPermian Basin (UTPB) โฃare now benefiting from aโ state-of-the-art Nutrition Center, providing them with the resources necessary to optimize their recovery and performance. The center, offering free protein shakes โคand healthyโฃ snacks, is the result of aโ significant donation from Cindy โฃand Homer Daniels.
The โคnew facility is alreadyโข making โขa noticeable impact, according โto โJared Heumann, Director of Strength โฃand Conditioning at UTPB. “Recovery is theโ biggest thing,” Heumann explained. “We preach recovery by going into the training roomโค as well, and having theโ Nutrition Center helps speed up the process as much as we possibly can.”
The availability of free nutritional support is a key component of the center’sโ success. Student-athletes now have โคconvenient access to the fuel โขthey need to replenish and rebuildโข afterโฃ rigorous training and competition.
“For Coach McCullough to โcome up and say this is something that’s veryโ needed at this university,” โsaid Homer Daniels, Donor. “That struck โคa chordโค with my โฃwife andโค me. We wantedโ toโฃ invest in that,โ and now we’re seeing the fruits of that labor.”
Mr.Daniels emphasized that the decision to donate was โขstraightforward, drivenโ by a desire to support the health and well-being of UTPB’s student-athletes. The Nutrition Center is โขstrategically located within the weight room at the Kirk Edwards Human Performance Center on campus, โขensuringโ easy access for all โคathletes.
