The number one mistake high school athletes make!
In a brief interview, a coach who oversees over 1,000 athletes explains that the most common error high‑school athletes make is fearing food. He attributes this to the overwhelming, often contradictory nutrition advice found on social media, which leads many athletes to doubt personalized meal plans. Approximately 70% of his athletes question the volume of food prescribed, fearing it’s too much. The coach stresses that the recommended intake is calibrated to each athlete’s sport, activity level, body composition, and goals, and that adequate nutrition is essential for strength gains, personal records, and overall performance. He concludes with a direct call‑to‑action: athletes should stop fearing food and treat it as the essential fuel it is.
