Philadelphia Union Nutritionist, Marissa Gaab on Fueling Young Athletes | The Pressure Lab Ep. #11

Most young athletes are under-fueling, under-recovering, and making food decisions based on habit, convenience, or social media. The result shows up in the second half, in practice the day after a game, and in how they handle pressure when it matters most.
In Episode #11 of The Pressure Lab, Keith Wilford sits down with Marissa Gaab, Head of Nutrition for the Philadelphia Union and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, to answer the questions every athletic family needs answered: what should young athletes actually be eating, when should they be eating it, and what does food have to do with mental performance under pressure?
Marissa works with professional MLS players every day to optimize how they fuel and recover. In this episode she brings those same evidence-based principles directly to teen athletes and the parents trying to support them.
