Elite sports programs employ nutrition experts because athletes need proper fuel to perform, yet most high schools ignore nutrition entirely. This gap leads to injuries, burnout, and stalled progress. High school athletes should seek nutritional guidance the same way pros do.
There is a reason that every big Division 1 program has nutrition experts. There's a reason that every NBA and NFL team have nutrition teams, and it's because they all understand something that high school programs never learn. These professional and Division 1 programs understand that athletes are race cars. You can have the most elite race car with the best wheels, the best engine. It can be the most elite race car that exists, but if you don't put gas in that car, it's never going to win a race. Same thing goes with these teams. These teams have some of the best athletes in the world, but they know if they're not putting proper fuel into their athletes' energy tanks, they're not gonna be able to get the most out of them. High school programs seem to understand the training side of things, but the nutrition gets left behind, and then kids wonder why they're getting injured, why they're burning out. They wonder why their athletes aren't improving at the level that they want them to be improving, and it's because they literally do not have the gas in the tank to be able to perform the way we want them to perform. So athletes, to get dialed in on your nutrition, comment fuel below and I'll send you something that's to help you.
