    In this episode, @jenfrytalks —a former Division I In this episode, @jenfrytalks —a former Division I volleyball coach turned expert on communication and conflict in youth sports—unpacks why the toughest moments in sports often have little to do with the game itself. Drawing on her experience coaching at the highest levels and now working with athletes, coaches, and parents, she dives into the fine line between support and pressure, the real sources of tension between parents and coaches, and how young athletes can learn to advocate for themselves.

    The school year brings structure to an athlete's d The school year brings structure to an athlete's day, but it can also make it easy to go too long without eating. When classes, practices, homework, and extracurricular activities fill the schedule, having a fueling plan can make the difference between steady energy and running on empty. Instead of wondering when you'll eat, build a nutrition schedule that works with your school day.

    🌅 Not hungry before morning practice? You should s 🌅 Not hungry before morning practice? You should still eat something.

Many athletes wake up and head straight to practice without fueling because they don't feel hungry. The problem? Your body has gone 8–10+ hours without food and your energy stores are lower than they were the night before.

Showing up to practice underfueled can lead to:
⚡ Low energy
🏃 Reduced performance
🧠 Poor focus and reaction time
😴 Increased fatigue
💪 Less effective training adaptations

Even a small snack can make a difference.

Try:
🍌 A banana
🥨 Pretzels
🍎 Applesauce pouch
🥯 Half a bagel
🥤 A sports drink
🍓 Fruit smoothie

You don't need a full breakfast before an early workout, but giving your body some carbohydrates and fluids can help you train harder and get more out of your practice.

Remember: Practice is where you improve. Fueling before practice helps ensure you're getting the most from every rep, sprint, drill, and workout.

🏆 Don't train on empty. Fuel first.
