Course Description
Adolescence is a time of rapid growth, self discovery, experimentation, and desire for more autonomy. During this formative time, youth require proper nutrition, hydration and rest. Student athletes, in particular, need additional nutrients to support growth. Educators can play an important role in helping students make healthier choices.
This course will provide evidence-based nutrition recommendations and hydration strategies to maximize performance and reduce the risk of injury. Furthermore, participants will evaluate communication strategies for optimal behavior change. They will also evaluate the risks associated with supplement use and investigate evidence-based resources to ensure athlete safety. Finally, educators will learn the warning signs of unhealthy eating and training practices, and be armed with resources to best assist student athletes.
Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
- Describe the unique nutritional and developmental needs of student athletes
- Explain the role of proper nutrition and hydration for optimal performance and evaluate effective communication strategies to promote positive behavior change.
- Assess challenges to dietary changes and propose effective strategies for enhanced performance.
- Evaluate the risks associated with supplement use and direct student athletes to safe, evidenced-based nutrition resources.
- Identify characteristics of unhealthy training practices or disordered eating patterns and implement strategies and protocol to optimize student safety.

It also was taught in such a way that I could apply the information and knowledge to my own food choices, and I haven’t been a student athlete in about 10 years!” -
