Hey speedsters (and parents of future MVPs 👋),

There’s a little something hiding in your pantry right now that could be slowing your athlete down—and it’s not what you think.

It’s not a missed workout. Not a lack of motivation.It’s added sugar.

Not the natural kind found in fruits or dairy.We’re talking about the crash-inducing, gut-bloating, brain-draining kind hiding in many foods and even some snacks that look healthy.

🚫 How Added Sugar Sabotages Performance

Athletes need energy—but not all sugar is created equal. Here’s how excess added sugar can sneak-attack even the hardest-working athlete:

  • 📉 Spikes energy... then crashes it (right before a key moment)

  • 💭 Blurs focus and decision-making during games and plays

  • 😖 Disrupts digestion mid-practice or mid-race

  • 🔥 Increases inflammation, slowing down recovery

Bottom line?Too much added sugar = sabotaged performance.
