#5 - Nutrition For Youth Soccer Players: A Conversation With Erika Elko, Co-Founder at "The Lifte Life"
On this episode of "The Coach's Mind" I sit down with Erika Elko of The Lifte Life to discuss her life experiences that led her into the health and wellness industry. We also apply her expertise to give practical advice to youth soccer coaches and parents to simplify how we approach supporting youth players with their nutrition! We discuss the following:[1] - Her early life experience being diagnosed with Crohn's Disease and how this led her to take ownership of her nutrition at an early age to support her athletic performance.[2] - Building an educational foundation for younger players.[3] - Tips on how to manage nutrition on soccer road trips![4] - Approaches to educating older players on nutrition and why it's never too late to start![5] - Health halo foods, plant based diets and so much more!Check out Erika's Instagram Page or you can visit her website https://www.theliftelife.com/.
