Making the connection between your performance and fueling needs
Youth Sports Nutrition
with Kaitlyn McNally, MS, RD, CDN
Dear athlete,
Nutrition is often the missing or forgotten link when it comes to performance. Proper nutrition for a youth or teen athlete is even more important as you are in a crucial stage of growth and development. Nutrition resources for young athletes are lacking. But, where do you look? Let me teach you easy, effective nutrition strategies to help elevate your game.
As a former high school athlete myself, I know that life can get hectic while managing training sessions and school work. Nutrition is often put on the back burner but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Let me teach you simple tips and techniques to increase your performance.
Now is the time to start learning the importance of proper nutrition related to sport. Whether this is individually or in a group setting, I have become passionate about providing valuable resources for youth sports nutrition.

Words from Clients
Sports Nutrition Testimonials
“Kaitlyn was great with my 16 year old student athlete. She helped her increase her protein and caloric intake with simple quick recipe suggestions. My daughter is a vegetarian so it was hard to find high protein and calorie foods that she would eat. Kaitlyn followed up with us weekly via email and text as well as monthly in person. She is very personable and easy to work with.”
“The presentation was well done. The hands on approach, for example drawing the food that one should eat, was a great technique. After we left your training we went directly to the grocery store to pick up some better food choices for snack and lunch the next day.” [referring to a presentation at Softball Central]
