We wanted to share some great information you might want to pass along to your contacts who work directly with students:
When young athletes are fatigued and have low energy availability, their risk for injury increases, especially during long practices and busy seasons.
The youth and teenage years are the “Golden Window” for building bone mass. What athletes eat during this time matters.
Dairy supports injury prevention and provides the three essential “Nutrients of Concern” for female athletes.
- Calcium & Vitamin D for preventing stress fractures
- Potassium for heart and muscle health
- High-quality protein for recovery
Keep them strong, resilient, and ready to play. A daily dairy strategy isn’t just a meal, it’s an injury-prevention strategy.
