How Uber Eats fuels the University of Miami Hurricanes off the field

College athletes face the constant challenge of managing a packed schedule—balancing academics, practices, and recovery—while making sure they get the right nutrition. For Miami Hurricanes football players, this becomes particularly difficult when that schedule doesn’t align with food hall hours. In spring 2024, Uber Eats stepped in to help solve this problem.

For athletes, timing is everything—not only in sports, but also in nutrition. After a hard day that includes practice or evening classes, the last thing a student athlete needs is the stress of finding quality meals when campus food halls have already closed. Uber Eats has become a game changer in helping Hurricanes football players access the food they need, when they need it. 

With a weekly Uber Eats meal allowance, athletes can conveniently order food while returning from practice, whether on their home field or at away games. This ensures that a meal is ready on arrival, helping them save time and focus on rest and recovery.

Chipotle burrito bowls. These nutrient-packed meals have become a staple for the Hurricanes, and it’s easy to see why. Football players need meals that offer the right balance of carbs, protein, and healthy fats to fuel their intense training sessions and support recovery—and Chipotle bowls check all the boxes. Not only are they full of essential nutrients for peak performance, but they’re also a cost-effective choice that keeps players satisfied and ready to tackle their day, on and off the field.

Issuing players their own university Uber Eats profiles gives the athletic department a straightforward way to subsidize meals. Whether players are looking for a quick energy boost after practice or a more nutritious meal to support recovery, Uber Eats ensures that they have the flexibility to make smart, timely food choices that fit into their demanding schedules.

As the college sports landscape continues to evolve, Uber Eats is proud to play a part in supporting athletes. Whether it’s before practice, after an evening game, or following a late class, Uber Eats makes it easier for student athletes to stay fueled and focused, one meal at a time.
