Hi all,

i am new to laravel and have a fictional Project to learn:

I have two Models: Sports and Trainers

Sport Model:

class Sport extends \Eloquent {

	// Add your validation rules here
	public static $rules = [
		// 'title' => 'required'
	];

	// Don't forget to fill this array
	protected $fillable = [ "sports_nicename"];

	public function trainers() {
		return $this->hasmany('Trainer', 'sport_id');
	}

}

Trainer Model

class Trainer extends \Eloquent {
	


	// Add your validation rules here
	public static $rules = [
		'trainer_name' => 'required|unique:trainers'
	];

	public static $updaterules = [
		'trainer_name' => 'required'
	];

	// Don't forget to fill this array
	protected $fillable = ["trainer_name", "trainer_nationality", "trainer_avatar", "trainer_birthday"];

	public function sport() {
		return $this->belongsTo('Sport', 'sport_id'); // this matches the Eloquent model
	}

	

}

My controllers are pretty much normal:

TrainerController.php (index part)

public function index()
	{
		$trainers = Trainer::all();

		return View::make('trainers.index', compact('trainers'));
	}

and SportsController.php (index part)

public function index()
	{
		$sports = Sport::all();

		return View::make('sports.index', compact('sports'));
	}

On my index View for the trainers i have something like this:

@foreach ($trainers as $trainer)
 <li>{{ $trainer->trainer_name}} 
<li>{{ $trainer->sport->sport_nicename }} 
@endforeach

My problem lies here: {{ $trainer->sport->sport_nicename }} It returns NULL, but {{ var_dump( $trainer->sport) }} returns the whole Object.

Any idea how could i access the field sport_nicename for every $trainer?

Thanks and greets
