🥇 Why So Many Young Athletes Are Tired, Injured or Not Growing — And How to Fix It With Food, Fast

By Dawn Weatherwax, RD, LD, ATC, CSCS Creator of Food for Speed TV and Dawn Weatherwax Sports Nutrition Academy (DWSNA) & Sports Nutrition 2Go (SN2Go)
🚨 Is Your Athlete Always Tired, Injured, or Just Not Growing?
You're doing everything right —
✔️ Healthy food
✔️ Early bedtimes
✔️ Practice and recovery
But your athlete is still:
😴 Tired all the time — even with 8+ hours of sleep
🩹 Constantly sore, injured, or getting sick
📉 Struggling to grow, gain muscle, or reach goals
If that sounds familiar — you’re not alone. And it’s not your fault.
⚠️ The truth? Most athletes are under-fueled and mistimed, and no one teaches parents how to fix it.

🎯 That’s Why I Created This Free Live Training
