Healthy Eating
Healthy eating is just as important as training when it comes to enhancing athletic performance. Eating a diet based on Canada’s Food Guide which emphasizes vegetables and fruit, whole grains, milk products, and lean meats ensures that players get the energy and nutrients they need to feel and play their best. Check out these resources from Eat Great and Participate which provide healthy meal and snack ideas for players and their families!
