Abstract: 

Recent research has emerged that provides direction as to key fueling challenges in high school and how we can address these challenges during this critical period of health, growth and performance. Athletic Trainers who primarily work with high school athletes can have a huge impact on fueling habits during high school and beyond by providing practical and efficient nutrition education. This presentation will introduce key fueling challenges, such as skipping breakfast, omitting pre-fuel, ignoring signs and symptoms of inadequate fueling and hydration, and not taking proper precautions with dietary supplements. Each challenge will be met with several of strategies that the athletic trainer can integrate into their practice to positively impact the fueling of the athletes that they serve.
