Very underrated aspect of players' preparation. Just look at what wonders it did for Novak Djokovic.

Great move!  Glad to see that the veteran players have bought in to this as that may help the rookies to get onboard faster.  As mama used to say "You are what you eat!" 

PS. Hope that is the carb (sugar)- free version of Heinz ketchup on the table, lol.

rather sooner then later i guess.

always thought it was already this but guess i was wrong.

Well, I'm one to perpetuate the mama's motto on my kids. Glad to see these young athletes are on the right track. Sharper minds, healthier bodies, better players : can't beat that.

@mearzunkies, not aware of other brand name ketchups, but I do know that Heinz's does offer a carb free variety, lol.

Injuries happen but anything to keep them to a minimum is great. I like the approach the Ravens are taking this off season with the training and nutrition. The last couple of seasons the injury bug has hurt our team if we can turn it around we are a very legitimate competitor.

It is very underrated and neglected!! This is a start. But each player needs his own nutritionist to help him design a program to reach optimal muscle to fat ratio for peak power and speed. But eating healthy is definitely a good start and will make a difference in games. Eliminating junk and taking in protein will help to lose some fat and build some muscle. Every player needs to take it to the extent of Shannon Sharp and Michael McCrary. Those guys took their prepared food on planes and mapped out carb fat protein intake for muscle gain and fat loss then tweaked the programs to maintain their optimal play weight. Ray did the same thing. He packed on 16lbs of muscle witb no loss in speed and became an absolute terror during the 2000 season. It would be totally cool for ravens rookies to be that fanatical. Will Henry, Kufusi would be scary awesome with a little extra muscle and a little leaner body. It is a huge advantage over competition. It would be a bigger advantage than Steelers raiders players juicing in the 70's. But I like what ravens are doing so far
