Serious and committed student athletes who want to become champions and top athletes in their sports understand the difference between talk and a serious athletic program. One critically important and frequently overlooked aspect of a program to build a better athlete is most certainly nutrition.
Don't take your athletic gifts and your overall health for granted! US StudentAthletes recommends this approach as does Cynthia Lair, the author of this fine nutrition book. Prioritize your health by learning as much as you can about sound nutritional practices. Begin with "Feeding the Young Athlete."
Decisions athletes make now (youth and teenagers) about food, exercise and body weight impact you today and for the rest of your life.
Each sport places different physiological, neurological, and musculoskeletal demands upon the student-athlete's body. Understand how nutrition can assist you and support you with these various demands.
Lastly, also understand that each student-athlete has a unique body composition for performance. Don't try to achieve a body composition or weight based on someone else?s performance.
Learn all you can about sports nutrition and it will benefit you for the rest of your life.
Best of luck in all your sports!!!
