162. Fueling Young Athletes: How Nutrition Can Help Everyone In Your Family Become a Champion with Expert Jill Lane

Hello, Family Brand community! Today, we are thrilled to share with you our conversation with Jill Lane, the founder of Fueling Champions. As a mother of three student-athletes and a seasoned professional in performance nutrition and exercise physiology, Jill's expertise and personal journey offer invaluable lessons for all of us, especially those navigating the world of competitive sports with our children!

Jill's story is one of passion and dedication. With over two decades of experience consulting top athletes in the NFL, NBA, and MLB, as well as Olympic hopefuls, she brings a wealth of knowledge to the table. But it's her personal journey, from being a high school All-American and semi-pro athlete to a mom of athletic kids, that truly inspired us.

In our conversation with Jill we dive into the critical aspect of nutrition in young athletes' lives. It's not just about what they eat, but how they fuel their bodies for both sports and life. Jill highlighted the importance of energy availability and the concept of REDS, offering a fresh perspective on how nutrition impacts not only physical but also cognitive and emotional health!

One of the most touching moments of the episode was when Jill shared the concept of 'championing' our children. This goes beyond nutrition; it's about empowering them to reach their full potential while maintaining a balance that nurtures their overall growth. (In or outside of sports!)
