Happy Belated National Sports Day with my daughter's favorite new Taylor Swift song 🎶
I couldn't miss celebrating the incredible passion, grit, and determination of athletes everywhere—including my daughter who had an especially challenging time last year after suffering from a bone stress injury resulting in a three month recovery process.
But let's be real: behind the highlights and victories, our sports culture has a long way to go in truly supporting these athletes.
High rates of mental health challenges, burnout, disordered eating, and low energy availity leading to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) are stark reminders that we're not doing enough.
These issues aren't just statistics they are my MISSION—they're real barriers that can derail futures, stemming from overlooked nutritional needs, intense pressure, and a lack of holistic social support.
It's time to change that. On this National Sports Day, let's commit to raising awareness about the unique nutritional, mental, and social needs of young athletes.
Proper fueling isn't just about performance; it's about building resilience, preventing injury, and fostering lifelong well-being.
If you're a parent, coach, or athlete ready to prioritize this, I'm here to help. Reach out for personalized nutrition strategies that empower and protect.
I have dedicated my career to fueling these young champions and their families through my private practice and consulting, I'm constantly inspired by their energy and commitment but there's more awareness to cultivate.
Together, we can create a stronger, healthier sports community. What's one way you're supporting athlete well-being today? Share below! 💪
