“Coach Sarah, I have practice right after school. What kind of snack can I eat so that I don’t feel so tired?” “Coach Sarah, we have conditioning early tomorrow morning. I won’t have time for breakfast. What should I do?” “Coach Sarah, I have a two-day-long tournament this weekend. What are some foods I can bring to help me stay energized?”
The Teenage Athletes’ Nutrition Journal answers these questions and more about how young athletes can fuel their bodies based on when during the day that they will be training, practicing, or competing. This three part book:
● Includes foundational nutrition information so that young athletes and their parents can make informed choices when it comes to meals and snacks.
● Applies this information based on what time of day they will be exercising.
● Provides “take action” journal pages that step young athletes through a day’s worth of meals and snacks.
This journal supplies athletes with the knowledge to confidently make informed choices about the foods they eat, and then guides them through various situations they may encounter regarding how to fuel their bodies based on the timing of their exercise. It is a valuable resource to help young athletes perform at their best in sports and in life.
