Sport Nutrition
for Your Young Athlete
You have the power to give them healthy foods
& a healthy mindset towards nutrition
For parents, teachers & coaches
Sugar? Carbs? Vegetarian? Vegan? Protein? Fat?
As a parent or coach, you worry your young athlete isn’t getting enough of or the right types of food. You struggle to find the best foods & snacks for hectic training & competition schedules. You hear about alternative diets and wonder if these are right for your athlete.
As sport dietitians, we see injuries & mental health problems as a result of misguided nutrition. Performance suffers and young athletes grow up wandering down an unhealthy path. We have a better way to look at diet in sport that focuses on including instead of excluding foods.
How do you know your competitive youth is properly fuelling both body & mind?
Do you have conversations with your athlete about sport nutrition & health choices?
Do you want sport nutrition for your team, but don’t have the funds to hire an expert?

Krystal Merrells
With my own long history of Prolonged Concussion Symptoms, it is my mission to improve your quality of life through nutrition for the brain & mind. I became interested in sport nutrition through my own training and traveling for rock climbing, a sport I have loved since the moment I pulled on my first handhold at age 16. I developed inspiration to further work with youth & families working at CHEO and with a number of youth sports teams in soccer, rock climbing and hockey. I love creating engaging workshops that don’t just educate, but also entertain! I weave in storytelling for a unique experience, taking the nutrition science and transforming it into tales we can all tell.
