Summary
In today’s episode, we’re wrapping up our series on parents and their athlete kids by diving into the topic of nutrition for young athletes. Joining me is my friend, Grace Hamrick—a registered dietitian, ACE certified health coach, and certified LEAP therapist.
Grace brings her expertise to the conversation as we cover a ton of topics, including:
- How to talk to kids about nutrition and fueling their bodies
- Strategies for fueling performance and recovery, especially post-workout
- When to take nutrition seriously based on age and athletic level
- How to assess activity levels and adjust fueling accordingly
One of the highlights of our discussion is the concept of the “athlete plate,” which helps kids visualize what they should be putting on their plates for optimal nutrition.
We also dive into the course that Grace created, motivated by her own experiences as a parent. As her kids’ activity levels increased, she recognized the need for proper fueling. You can learn more about this valuable resource at her website, wellbeingwithgrace.com. Plus, if you decide to enroll in the course, use the code HAVEANOTHER for a 20% discount!
I hope you enjoy this conversation and pull some tips to empower your young athletes with the knowledge they need to thrive in their sport!
