In this brief motivational nutrition monologue, Kelsey Higginson likens an athlete’s body to a race car, emphasizing that without fuel the body cannot perform optimally. She defines a “high‑carb snack” as one containing roughly 50–60 grams of carbohydrates and stresses the importance of consuming such fuel 1–2 hours before games or practices. By recommending concrete snack options—applesauce and a granola bar—she urges athletes to start this habit immediately, warning that failing to fuel will cause them to “run out of gas” and miss performance results.
