Olivia Walls

Growing up in a sports-focused family, Horseshoe Bend’s Olivia Walls knew she wanted a sports-related career, and while searching exercise science majors one day, she found it: sports nutritionist. 

“I was so excited when I first heard about it; I looked it up on YouTube,” said the 21-year-old Central Alabama Community College sophomore. “A sports nutritionist basically designs an athlete’s whole day – what time they wake up; what meals they eat – how many calories they need to gain weight or muscle or lose weight; the workouts they do; when they go to bed, everything.”
