Having taught for some years in the public school system of MS, I can say that in many of the rural schools in this state (likely the same in nearby states as well for rural schools) have many football players on free or reduced price school lunch programs and very poor training and weight room facilities.

kids who ate a free or reduced - price school lunch during the school year also participated in summer meal programs (us.stop-hunger.org)
According to our friends and partners at FRAC, 21 million kids rely on free and reduced - price school lunches for their nutrition during the school year in the United States, but just over 3 million kids get a summer meal. (beyondbreakfast.org)
