 Good evening, Golden Bears. I'm Julie McEwan. And I'm Audrey Mayer. Join us today as we take a closer look regarding the physical and mental pressures on athletes in intercollegiate sports. Part two will include an in-depth investigation and interview with the mastermind behind food preparation and nutrition of Cal football. This is CalTV Sports. My name is Camero del Willis and today I am with Jamie Hummer, the Cal football chef. So Jamie, can you give me a brief history of the food and nutrition plan for the Cal football players? Everything that we do here is based on the nutritionists that we work with, their input and our creativity that we put into our dishes. So from your perspective, what is the greatest program in order for an athlete to cut weight, gain weight, and also maintain weight? Well, to lose weight, we usually steer them towards more vegetables, more leaner proteins, less carbs, and less sweets to keep them away from the sugar cereals and desserts that we do provide for them. So what do you feel that the athletes struggle with most when it comes to being physically and mentally fit and prepared to play on the field? On a day-to-day basis, their schedules through their classes that they have to maintain and take, their workouts that they have to go through, they're very, very strenuous. Also, just the fact that they have to perform at the highest level. Working here at the Cal football stadium, are you able to build a rapport with the athletes? We have a great rapport with the athletes. They are very respectful. They are very mindful of how they act around us. We are mindful of the way we act around them and we do a lot for them. I've even taken a couple of them fishing. After sitting down with Chef Hummer, we talked to a Cal football player about his personal eating habits and being a member of the Cal football team. Football was very important to me and everybody around me and my neighborhood and my city was, you know, it just came first in front of everything else. I first started playing football in fourth grade, so when I was around nine years old, it wasn't so much that I knew. It was so much that I had to be able to make it out and, you know, get a college education and, you know, do stuff for my mom and dad and be able to, you know, put myself through college. You know, it's a lot different than high school, but I mean, just a very fast-paced program and the coaches are always on you, you know, weight room-wise, on the field-wise and, you know, it's just, it's very fun and, you know, it's just, it's just a different process, you know. It's just, it's like growing up, you know, growing up again. When I committed back in February, I was 205 and, you know, generally, a defensive end in the back 12 was probably around like 240-250, so it was like a large, you know, weight gap and, you know, coming in, the coaches kind of told me, you know, you can gain it gradually, you know, you probably won't play this year and, but they want to be like around 240-245 and that's when I just started eating and just shoveling it down and just trying to get bigger. Usually I wake up around seven or eight, I eat like three bagels, a few cheese and chili, lunchtime, it just depends what we have, have a sandwich or maybe some chicken fingers or something like that. I'll probably get like two helpings of it and then I'll probably snack, you know, snack throughout the day, you know, either candy or just protein part or something like that. And then for dinner, usually whatever there is, either it's fish or chicken or steak, and I usually get about, you know, around two plates. Um, coaches, yeah, you hear it every day. You see them, you know, every time you see them, every meeting, every time you go in the field, every time they're waving, you know, because, you know, every time they're waving, we have to weigh in, you know, every day. So just, you know, just when you weigh in coach always, you know, makes a joke or just a smart, you know, a landmark about our weight. And, you know, it's a big deal for yourself. It's a big deal after the coach is a big deal. And, you know, it's not too much pressure, but you know, you have to get it done. Thank you for watching. Stay tuned for part three of our documentary series.
