Most sports families have the coach, the camps, and the showcase schedule - but rarely a nutrition plan built for the recruiting window. This playbook fixes that.
A done-for-you 7-day meal plan built around the fall reality: early-morning lifts, after-school practice, and weeknight games - not a generic plan that ignores what a full school-day-plus-training schedule actually demands.
Pre- and post-training fueling strategies for the back-to-school crunch, because eating around a packed school day plus practice is a completely different challenge than the open summer calendar - and it's exactly where most athletes start running on empty.
The recovery nutrition window most competitive athletes miss entirely, and why it's the difference between the athletes who stay strong deep into the season and the ones who fade by the second half.





I work with families of competitive teen athletes in the years before the scholarship and draft window closes. And I can tell you, after working with athlete after athlete, that the gap between a talented kid and a recruited kid is almost never effort. It's almost always this.
I know what it feels like to train hard and come up short because nobody handed me the right information. I was that athlete. I became a Registered Dietitian because of it. Now I watch my daughter compete and I use everything I know to make sure she shows up ready every single time. She was named Midfielder of the Year and voted Most Endurance by her teammates.
The recruiting window does not wait. This playbook is how you use the start of the season to make sure you're not the family that figured it out too late."
