This video unpacks an important topic...micronutrients, and how to ensure your female teen athlete is getting enough from their diet.
If your teen female athlete is a picky eater, how can you ensure she’s getting the essential micronutrients she needs to be healthy and perform at her peak?
If you notice your teen athlete is low in energy, not recovering well from their training sessions, getting sick often, or not sleeping well, their diet is the first place to look for the cause.
I focus on sources of real foods over supplements, and provide examples of what foods provide these essential micronutrients, including for vegans and vegetarians.
Be ready to take notes, because you’ll be equipped with a whole list of “common denominator” type foods that you can incorporate into their diet.
