The Pressure To Win
“It’s also OK to step away from something that no longer brings joy. If your child’s sport has become a source of stress, maybe it’s time for them to take a break and try some different extracurricular activities.”

Put aside a little me time this week.

The Experts Say…
“When it’s time for your athlete to eat, try to pair protein and carbs together. Protein maintains muscle and helps to build lean body mass, and carbs provide fuel for energy. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Perfect.”
