ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Enduraphin has been named the Official Protein Partner of Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Athletics. The partnership will expand Enduraphin protein products into the RIT Athletics Fueling Station, giving Tigers more fueling options as they train, compete and recover.
Enduraphin’s NSF Certified for Sport® protein is available in bulk pouches and patented PHINTECH™ Ready-To-Mix bottles designed for team fueling. For student-athletes moving between classes, lifts and practice, the bottles keep preparation simple: just add water and shake.
"At RIT, we are always looking for meaningful ways to invest in our student-athletes and provide them with the resources they need to be successful," said Jacqueline Nicholson, Executive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics. "Our partnership with Enduraphin is another step forward in how we approach performance, recovery and overall student-athlete well-being. We're excited about what this partnership will bring to our Tigers."
The partnership extends beyond the products. Enduraphin will provide an annual nutrition seminar led by a registered dietitian, giving student-athletes and Athletics staff practical guidance on nutrition and fueling.
"We want our student-athletes to understand that how they fuel and recover is an important part of how they prepare to compete," Nicholson said. "This relationship gives us an opportunity to pair quality products with education and make nutrition an even more intentional part of the RIT student-athlete experience."
The agreement also includes opportunities for approved sampling and product displays. Enduraphin will become the presenting sponsor of the RIT Student-Athlete of the Week, recognizing Tigers throughout the year.
"RIT Athletics' commitment to the student-athlete experience makes this an incredibly meaningful partnership for Enduraphin," said Danny Drake, Co-Founder of Enduraphin. "Mike and I both grew up in Upstate New York, and we know how special this region is. To have the opportunity to support RIT student-athletes with certified performance nutrition, education and resources is something we're truly proud of. At the heart of Enduraphin is a simple belief: when you fuel people well, you give them a better chance to show up as their best selves. We're excited to fuel the Tigers and further our partnership with the RIT Athletics community."
