In Episode 2 of theSOApodcast, If they are going to Train Hard they need to Fuel Correctly.  Most of the time the fuel tends to take a back seat, thinking they are kids they can eat anything.  They can eat more than what we can as adults, but if they want the most out of their training and practice, they need to get the right amount of fuel to help their bodies with energy and recovery!  Print this Fuel Chart then go to the website Calorieking.com, then have your athlete research the calories, carbs and proteins to see if they are getting the correct amounts.  Pizza and burgers are still ok, but moderation and get that protein!!
