#337: Adolescent Athletes - Understanding The Bigger Picture in “Fuelling”

August 07, 2026 • Aleksa the Sports Dietitian • Episode 337

0:00 | 7:53

I work with both adult and adolescent athletes…

And the thing that creates more complexity for the latter, is that fuelling has to be looked at from not just the lens of regular life and sport but also from one more very important way.

What is this? Why is the fuelling puzzle more deep when dealing with teen athletes?

In this episode, I unpack the bigger picture lens of fuelling in teen sports and the athletes I work with.

This episode is especially for the parents of adolescents wanting to know more about the complexity of their child's nutrition situation.
