The Power of Pre-Workout Fuel
This lesson takes a closer look at what your athlete eats before a workout — and why it matters. You’ll discover how to pair carbs and protein to support energy, focus, and strength, and how to avoid common fueling mistakes like exercising on an empty stomach.
Prime the Body, Boost the Performance
In Part 2, you learned how to align fuel sources with different levels of training intensity and how pre-workout meals — timed 30 minutes to 3 hours before training — can influence metabolism, energy output, and recovery. With examples of what to eat and when, you’re now equipped to create meals that match the moment.
Daily Schedule Planner Worksheet
Help your athlete visualize their fueling windows.
This hour-by-hour planner allows you to map out your child’s school day, training sessions, and recovery periods—so you can identify the best times for meals, snacks, and hydration. It’s a simple way to spot gaps and align nutrition with your child’s real-life schedule.
Weekly Meal Planner Worksheet
Turn your plan into a fueling routine.
This weekly worksheet helps you organize breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks for each day of the week—aligned with your athlete’s training demands. By pairing it with meal alarms and recovery guidelines, you’ll build a consistent, balanced routine that supports energy, recovery, and performance.
