Nutrition in sports is a crucial concept that sports medicine fellows and practitioners need to grasp because the nutrients required to perform differ greatly from a regular diet. No matter what training path a candidate takes to a sports medicine fellowship, the program considers their needs to be assured that they understand the relationship between athletic performance/health and nutrition.

First, you want to discuss the nutrition basics from your residency training and apply them to the sports medicine world. Explain that you are aware that athletes should have a customized diet that takes into account their metabolism and the activity they are performing. If you need to, research this topic before your fellowship interview.

"I know it plays a vital role in performance and injury prevention for athletes, and I'm looking forward to learning and growing more in this area as a fellow with your program. During my residency training, my training in nutrition was from my attending physicians and learning how to provide education to patients with weight issues or other diseases like diabetes. Realizing nutrition in sports medicine will be an entirely new area, I'm excited to learn and be a proponent for my future patients."

"Today's modern athlete has a wealth of information, food options, and supplements. With so many companies marketing new products almost daily, I know that I will have to be an educator to the athletes I work with and help them customize a diet that helps them perform better and prevent further injuries. Can you talk about the nutritional training you provide your fellows?"
