Welcome to Episode 103 of the Eat for Endurance Podcast, featuring Sports Dietitian and endurance athlete Bob Seebohar, MS RD CSSD CSCS.
Bob comes back on the show today to chat about nutrition for teenage athletes. We both work with high school and collegiate athletes and thought it would be worthwhile to share our experiences as well as our professional expertise on this important and complex topic.
Bob and I cover nutrition for teenage athletes from many different angles, including:
- How nutrient needs of teenagers differ from those of adults
- The impact of puberty on nutrition and performance in both genders
- The importance of prioritizing nutrition for brain development
- How to keep over-scheduled teenagers well-nourished
- How to navigate peer pressure and the influence of social media
- How to support teenagers through body image struggles, especially as their bodies change so frequently
- Fueling challenges that result from sports team or family dynamics
- How lack of sleep impacts nutrition choices and what to do about it
- Why teenagers need to gain some nutrition knowledge and skills before college
- How parents can role model health-supporting behaviors and attitudes
- And SO much more!
Whether you’re a current or future parent or a teenage athlete yourself, I hope you find this episode useful.
