A healthy diet is essential for young athletes to reach their full potential. Approximately 85% of children engage in sports outside of school, with swimming being popular among girls and football among boys. However, balancing nutrition with busy schedules can be challenging for parents and coaches. Many children struggle to consume the right foods that provide the necessary energy for training and recovery. Additionally, hydration is crucial, yet many young athletes train and compete without adequate nutrition. This nutrition guide addresses the specific needs of young athletes, offering valuable insights for coaches, teachers, and parents aiming to enhance sports performance through healthy eating. It covers the nutritional requirements for various sports, including running, swimming, dance, and team sports. The book also tackles issues related to weight management, dispels myths about body composition, and highlights warning signs of eating disorders. Written by bestselling nutrition author Anita Bean, this practical resource is filled with nutritional tips, training and competition meal plans, and easy, nutritious recipes and snacks designed to give young athletes a competitive edge.
