Developing Healthy Eating Habits

Developing Healthy Eating Habits
By TrueSport
We want to share how youth sports can be a vehicle to developing healthy eating habits that help achieve peak performance on and off the field.

One way TrueSport spreads this message is through our popular TrueSport Nutrition Guide, found on our site as a
PDF here.

Now more than ever, athletes need accurate sports nutrition information. In the quest for success, many athletes will try any dietary regimen promising a new level of physical performance. However, it usually takes little more than small modifications of their current dietary intake to help maximize peak performance. We hope that by providing this publication to as many people as possible we can help to fulfill this need.
Inside, you will find:
• In-depth, yet easy-to-understand info about how to optimize a youth athlete's diet
• What and when to eat for optimal athletic performance
• The truth about dietary supplements and your child's health
• How much protein an athlete should eat dependent upon their athletic goals

A similar resource we offer is the TrueSport Parent Handbook, designed to help you ensure a safe, healthy, and meaningful sport experience for your children. Outlined in this guide are tips that will support their competitive spirit and maximize their potential on and off the field. The Parent Handbook can be
found here  on our website.
