Young Athelets Nutrition
Kids have their own nutritional needs……especially athletic kids. Yet, nutrition for young athletes is often
grossed over, misunderstood or even inappropriately adopted from adult sports nutrition concepts.
Fortunately, with the right guidance, young athletes can increase their energy, boost their motivation,
gain muscle mass, overcome fatigue and improve their athletic performance.
Young athletes are growing tremendously. Believe it or not, energy and nutrient needs change every
year. Knowing what the young athletes needs nutritionally will help him or her grow, and help overall
athletic performance.
