Busy lifestyles rushing from work/school to training can also present challenges for parents and coaches when planning what to feed children. This book provides an easy to follow guide to help parents and coaches determine exactly how much food and drink to provide, what type of foods and when to feed their aspiring athletes. The information in this book is supported by the most up-to-date scientific research and covers topics including: •macronutrient and micronutrient requirements•weight management•eating disorders •hydration •supplements and ergogenic aids•nutritional timingThe book also contains over 25 simple to make healthy recipes to help fuel your young athletes and optimise performance.
