Abstract

Coaches and trainers need to be aware of the dietary practices of their athletes and strive to encourage their players to engage in healthy and proper nutrition. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) assess the dietary and nutrition practices of a group of female high school basketball players, and 2) to determine if expectancies for achievement and success are associated with better eating practices. Understanding the latter, may be useful in helping high school coaches devise ways to motivate players to improve their eating habits.
