Leigh Hullett is the Director of Sports Nutrition at the University of Notre Dame. She is a registered dietitian working to help student-athletes optimize performance, recovery, and health through nutrition. Not going far from Indianapolis, where she was born and raised, she went on to receive her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from Indiana University in 2016 and completed her Dietetic Internship with Wellness Workdays in Hingham, Massachusetts; specializing in Sports Nutrition. Leigh found her way to Notre Dame by doing part of her dietetic internship with the Sports Nutrition department, and quickly felt right at home. Prior to beginning her dietetic internship, she traveled to Bali, Indonesia for a month to study yoga and become a certified yoga instructor. She loves to find ways to combine yoga health, and nutrition on a daily basis, and hopes to continue to grow in both areas.
Currently in her fifth year at Notre Dame, Leigh oversees two full time dietitians and 14 student-workers continuing to grow and strengthen their department. Leigh works with Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse, Baseball, Men’s Soccer, Swimming and Diving, Rowing and Cheerleading.
