Pair meal prep with practical nutrition guidance for athletes.

Performance is built between meals as much as it is on the practice field. But few coaches and even fewer parents have the time to plan, shop, and prep multiple high-protein, high-quality meals every week.
NBF connects teams with vetted meal prep partners offering team-rate pricing, dietitian-friendly menus, and flexible delivery models. Whether you're feeding a 12-person high school varsity squad or a 60-athlete travel program, there's a fit.
Consistent, quality nutrition isn't a luxury — it's a measurable performance lever. Teams that solve the meal question see fewer injuries, better recovery, and stronger second halves. NBF removes the logistical and financial barrier to making it happen.
"We went from drive-thru food on the bus to dialed-in, team-priced meals on game day. The kids and the coaches noticed within two weeks."

NBF has partnered with JP’s Catering & Mobile Food to give every affiliated team an exclusive 15% discount on all services. Tailgates, breakfast, team meals, banquets, out-of-state visitor meals, food trucks for Friday Night Lights, tournaments — JP’s covers every occasion across three full culinary concepts: Italian, Mexican, and full-service catering.

NBF has partnered with Boss Bachi — Mesa’s premier hibachi spot — to bring teams an exclusive $10 per player team rate not available to the general public. Post-practice meals, game-day fuel, tournaments, and training camps. Fresh hibachi. No catering contracts. Pickup or delivery available.
Knowing what to eat is only half the battle. Meal prepping is what closes the gap between nutrition knowledge and what actually ends up in an athlete's body — especially in the middle of a packed training and game-day week. That's exactly why we point our athletes and families toward Next Level Athletes.
Next Level Athletes is a podcast built for aspiring athletes chasing the next stage of their careers — whether that's a college scholarship or a pro contract. Where nutrition knowledge becomes real is in the prep: what you stock, what you cook ahead, and what you reach for between training sessions. The show covers recruiting strategies, elite nutrition, training regimens, and mental toughness drawn from Division 1 athletes, professionals, and expert coaches — and it doesn't shy away from the unsexy, practical side of performance.
Host Kelsey Poulter — a sports nutrition expert with a background in Exercise Physiology — understands that athletes don't fail on nutrition because they don't care. They fail because they don't have a system. She breaks down the practical side of fueling: what to prep on Sundays, how to eat well on a budget, how to keep meals from becoming a chore, and why the athletes who out-prepare their opponents nutritionally show up differently when it counts.
This is the kind of thinking that drives NBF's meal prep partnerships — bringing structure, affordability, and consistency to the one part of athletic development most teams still leave to chance.
