YoungAthlete-Diary

👍Great job team YoungAthlete-Diary. You are challenging your taste buds and making great food choices.
🍓From our last Session 4, My fit kitchen and how to shop smarter: You learnt, that being prepared and having healthy ingredients and nutritious food in your kitchen is essential.

🥞 You will not only avoid unnecessary 'healthy food choices stress', but from these ingredients you can easily make even something traditionally considered unhealthy (like pancakes)as a super nutritious breakfast or great sport snack.

🍏Also we keep following BETTER THAN approach. Where you just do your best and make your choices based on your options and budget.

🌟Mark's food challenge plate. Trying new food.
😋Train your taste buds, like you train your muscles!
☝Did you know?
Our taste buds are changing all the time as we get older. So give yourself a chance and try something new!
🌈 3 more ingredients to go this week and rainbow plate challenge too.

Last week we were covering hydration.

We know:
💧 Water is our number one choice and we also know, that soups, fruits and vegetables which are rich in water content are great ADDITIONAL choices to help keep hydrated.

🥇How important and essential is water for our wellbeing and good body function.

😨 Sign and symptoms of Dehydration

❓We answered questions about sport and energy drinks. Yes or No? Are they for you? Do you need them? And if, when and what kind? And we learnt about electrolytes.

☝And now we are practicing our good hydration Tips.


Well done everyone for keep making your sport jars and filling them up with energy, pre training snacks which are handy on the go. Also making better choices and actually creating your own after school, pre training snacks.

Next week is our food plate challenge week and we are going to try new ingredients, the once we don't like, but are willing to try again.THIS WEEK IT IS ABOUT: "Train our taste buds as we train our muscles!"

Great effort YoungAthlete-Diary team! Keep it up.
Next week we are adding Hydration.

Well done team YoungAthlete-Diary!
Our first session went very well.
You learnt 3 pillars of your sport foundation and why they are important, why you need to master all 3 and why you can't skip non of them.
You setup your own challenges to achieve your specific goals in each category (Stay hydrated and eat right, Train hard and smart, Sleep well)and this week you start practice what you learnt. We talked about positive mental attitude and you have some tools now to use if need.
This weeks FOOD FOCUS is on after school/pre training snacks, and we start with what you can buy in the shop also avoiding after school junk shopping. Later, moving on what you can make at home.
REMEMBER our better than...approach.
I can't wait to see your sport snack jars/boxes and your sport movie choices.
Have a great week everyone. Keep posting everything on our private WhatsApp group.
