In this episode, Matt and Nick talk about how parents can involve themselves with paving the way to a healthy lifestyle for their kids and young athletes. From managing the correct training load to the best meal options for your growing athlete–fitness should be a staple for all families!
As parents, we always want what’s best for our kids. It’s been established that as adults, we have to step up and become not only guides but an actual example for the right lifestyle but just how much more effort can we put into prioritizing our kids’ health?
