High 5s

January 30, 2012

Every Tuesday beginning a week from today, we'll recognize the accomplishments of four MHSAA athletes and one team. And we're hoping for your help.

Please offer your suggestions by e-mail to [email protected]. Candidates often will have accomplished great things on the field of play -- but also will be recognized for other less obvious contributions to their teams, schools or the mission of high school athletics as a whole.

We won't be able to recognize every nomination. But we'll do our best to honor as many as possible. And in advance, we appreciate any suggestions you send our way.

Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Underfueling

Athletes push their bodies to perform at high levels — and that requires consistent, adequate fueling.

Without enough calories to support training, recovery, daily life, and growth, performance and overall health can suffer.

In fact, underfueling — whether intentional or unintentional — can lead to a serious condition called Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs), which affects both male and female athletes.

Don’t let low energy hold you back! Fuel your body, protect your health, and train strong.
