Nutrition Guidance for Young Athletes
Kids have their own nutritional needs – especially athletic kids. Yet, nutrition for young athletes is often glossed over, misunderstood, or even inappropriately adopted from adult sports nutrition concepts.
To complicate matters, most young athletes aren’t eating properly to compete. Even if they’re on a “healthy” diet, it’s often supplemented by convenient foods with empty calories that can slow them down.
Fortunately, with the right guidance, young athletes can increase their energy, bolster their motivation, gain muscle mass, overcome fatigue, and improve their athletic performance.
Eat Like a Champion is a sports nutrition guidebook for young athletes, helping parents and coaches tailor the young athlete’s diet for training, competition, and even off-season.
