Practical Nutrition Strategies for Youth Athletes

Most parents and families understand how critical a nutrient-rich, balanced diet is for optimal health and athletic performance. If youโ€™re raising an adolescent or teen athlete performing at a high level, you must focus greater attention on their fueling needsโ€ฆ

Is Your Athlete Fueling Enough to Perform & Stay Healthy?

Most high school and college athletes donโ€™t struggle because they arenโ€™t training hard enough.

They struggle because they are:

๐Ÿ‘‰Under-fueling without realizing it
๐Ÿ‘‰ย Eating โ€œhealthyโ€ but not enough for sport
๐Ÿ‘‰Training hard while under-recovering

Over time, this leads to:
โ€“ Low energy
โ€“ Poor recovery
โ€“ Increased injury risk
