University of Nebraska’s volleyball team is fueled by local dairy!

Bump, Hit, Spike!

These next college athletes are at the top of their game and they credit part of their success to the nutrition they get from dairy products.

According to Rebekah Allick, “I think it just allows a good balance because I’m a big fan of cheese blocks. We had some at one of our fueling stations the other day, and I grabbed a few of those, and so, I think it adds a nice balance to get diet and something to look forward to just because some of us are on diet plans, and so it can get pretty monotonous.”

Some University of Nebraska volleyball players have partnered with Midwest Dairy to promote the valuable role dairy plays in athletes’ lives.
They say they have learned not only about dairy’s nutrition, but the farmers who produce it.

“A new appreciation for sure for farmers, just because you don’t see all the behind. You just see the final product, like in sports or any other things, but especially for them. They’re doing everything behind the scenes and then you have these products on the shelves, and people just buy them and go on with their day. So, it’s cool to have like this kind of background story of what dairy farmers go through and what the work and time they put in, and I’m just so thankful that we get to use those products,” Skyler Pierce adds.

The Huskers are set to play their next match tonight!
