Nutrition is an important part of sports performance for young athletes and promotes optimal growth and development. Adequate energy, macronutrient distribution, micronutrients, and fluids are essential to fuel physical activity and sports participation. Although there are many vitamins and minerals required for good health, particular attention should be devoted to ensuring that athletes consume proper amounts of calcium and iron. The meals in this program consist of wraps, sandwiches, smoothies, simple pasta dishes, and snack boxes to help students prep on the go while also meeting their nutrition needs.
