WATCH: Miami’s Cavinder twins give a sneak peek of their diet to help “fuel their bodies” ahead of 2024 season

Miami's Haley and Hanna Cavinder are preparing for their return to college basketball this season. After a year's break, the twins are back in action, easing back into the rigorous schedule of college sports.

As public figures, the Cavinder twins are often seen as role models for young girls aspiring to play high-level basketball. Using their platform, Hanna and Haley shared the importance of a healthy diet while recounting their problematic history with food in the past, in partnership with Miami-based nutritionist Chef Nicole.

Sharing a video of them in practice, the twins wrote in the caption:

"We’ve been there. Skipping meals after practice, running on empty, restricting certain foods, fixating on the scale, brain fog, avoiding carbs, under recovered with zero regard for our hormones or worrying about any kind of damage that was being caused internally."

"Learning how to fuel our bodies with the right amount of food was for so much more than performance or physique goals. It saved us. It made us put our internal health above anything external."

Miami coach Tricia Cullop is excited for the Cavinder twins' return

During their senior year with the Hurricanes in the 2022-23 season, the Cavinder twins played a crucial role in leading Miami to its first Elite Eight appearance. Now that they're back in Coral Gables, Hurricanes coach Tricia Cullop is hopeful for another successful run.

In an interview with the Miami Herald, Cullop praised the Cavinder twins, saying:

“They’re two of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached, or played with, and that’s saying a lot, because I played with some All-Americans. They have an extreme hunger to want to be better, and they set the bar really high for the rest of the players.

"It’s great for my incoming freshman class, which was ranked 18th in the country, to see two kids who have a lot of press being such hard workers. When your best players are your hardest workers, you have something special.”

This will be Cullop's first season with the Hurricanes. They will first play an exhibition game against Palm Beach Atlantic on Oct. 27 and then make the regular season debut against Stetson on Nov. 4.
