About The Sports Nutrition Institute
An initiative from the Sports Nutrition Association
Our Mission:
“To create ethical evidence-based professionals/practitioners who thrive in real-world settings to advance the industry and safeguard the public.”
Which links to the greater SNA vision = ‘to create a world where athletes and everyday people can trust the nutrition information they’re given.’
Why we exist
The Sports Nutrition Education Institute (established as an initiative of SNA) exists to address a critical gap in sports nutrition education. Where traditional programs fail to prepare students for the realities of private practice – where 97% of the work exists – we deliver comprehensive, real-world focused graduate education that bridges theory and practice.
Protect, Empower & Improve
We protect public health by developing practitioners who combine scientific rigor with practical application skills. We empower professionals with the specific business knowledge, clinical expertise, and entrepreneurial mindset needed to succeed where others often fail. Through our innovative approach, we advance the industry by dramatically reducing the high failure rate of new practitioners and creating a new standard for practice-ready education.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is shaped by active practitioners and industry leaders who understand the day-to-day challenges of private practice, ensuring our graduates don’t just survive but thrive in the real world of sports nutrition
