Many athletes want to know if a vegan diet is compatible with top athletic performance. While meat and protein are often associated with power and strength, many sports nutritionists and elite athletes agree that plant-based diet provides optimal nutrition. OrganicAthlete is a new nonprofit organization that is bringing together athletes of all ages and abilities and helping them to inspire others to learn about and promote healthy, plant-based diets and lifestyles.

To provide athletes with the information they need to spread the word about optimal health and nutrition, OrganicAthlete recently launched its new website at http://www.organicathete.org. The website serves as a resource for athletes and fitness enthusiasts interested in learning more about improving health and performance with a plant-based diet. The new OrganicAthlete website offers educational material including articles on health and nutrition, interviews with vegan athletes, and much more to come.

As an example for aspiring vegetarian athletes, the website also features updates from the all-vegetarian Ritchey/OrganicAthlete Elite Cycling Team. Through seminars, training rides, and athletic example, OrganicAthlete’s team of “athlete activists” delivers the message that athletes can succeed on a plant-based diet. Vegetarian groups, athletic clubs, and other organizations can invite the OrganicAthlete Cycling Team to potlucks or events for informative talks by contacting the organization.

Athletes in any sport can join OrganicAthlete and the cycling team in promoting plant-based living. Members receive access to exclusive monthly online chats with vegetarian athletes and nutritionists, discounts on team merchandise, a monthly e-newsletter with training, diet, and lifestyle tips, and more.

Stanford University Athletics Upgrades Recruiting and Operations with ACS Athletics Software













Austin, TX (PRWEB) November 4, 2010

ACS Athletics (http://www.acsathletics.com) announces Stanford University Athletics will adopt the ACS Athletics InControl software suite. With ACS InControl, Stanford University Athletics has taken a holistic approach to solving much of the day-to-day challenges associated with recruiting, compliance monitoring, roster management, student-athlete forms, playing and practice season hourly logs, complimentary admissions, and much, much more. In taking a department-wide approach, Stanford coaches and staff will realize benefits on a much broader scale, eliminating many of the paper-driven processes and condensing prospect and student-athlete information into one integrated system. Further, Stanford has now empowered its coaches with the most robust recruiting tools on the market. During these challenging economic times, institutions are making value-based decisions and finding an economical, yet innovative, solution with ACS Athletics. InControl allows coaches to manage all recruiting information and implement impressive branding campaigns. Coaches now have the ability to gauge interest level using email tracking features. Finally, as recruiting activities are entered into the system, an automatic “log” is created that eliminates the need for coaches to submit paper logs or spreadsheets. The built-in rules engine then analyzes each activity to ensure compliance with NCAA rules and reduce compliance-associated risk.

“We’ve watched ACS Athletics expand and grow over the years as a proven, experienced technology provider. When our university decided to adopt a department-wide system, ACS was the clear choice for Stanford,” says Beth Goode, Senior Associate Athletic Director/SWA. “ACS Athletics InControl™ product suite offers our department a comprehensive, integrated solution that will help our administration, coaches and student-athletes operate more efficiently, while improving our communication and compliance monitoring capabilities.”

“We’re excited about many of the features of the ACS system, especially the native iPhone mobile recruiting and compliance application for coaches,” says Megan Boone, Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance Services. “The proactive phone call monitoring and alert capabilities, combined with branded emailing and easy logging of contacts and evaluations will be a hit for our coaches. The ‘know before you dial’ feature alerts coaches when they can’t make a call, even before they even try to dial.”

“ACS Athletics is extremely excited and honored to have the opportunity to work with Stanford University Department of Athletics,” says Phillip Engle, CEO at ACS Athletics. “ACS Athletics understands that an innovative program like Stanford, which has won 99 NCAA national team championships, demands the best software tools for their coaches and staff. We are honored to service them to help further their mission to support student-athletes.”
