Taylor Morrison, MS, RD, CSSD, LDN, is a registered and board certified sports dietitian and CEO of Taylored Nutrition, LLC where she specializes in work with with young athletes. As a pediatric dietitian for the last 12+ years and specifically focused on sports nutrition for young athletes in the last 7+ years she understands the struggles that young athletes face when it comes to fueling for their sports. Taylor decided to study and practice pediatric sports nutrition because, as a young competitive athlete herself, she was confused about how to fuel well for her sports (figure skating and running) but knew it was the missing link in her training.
She worked hard on her own to figure out her best nutrition strategy for each sport and, when she did, saw and felt an incredible difference. Taylor's goal today is to teach young athletes about sports nutrition and guide them to confidently and independently implement those strategies each day so that they can reach their goals and perform their best. Taylor wants to teach athletes key sports nutrition information now so they don't have to learn the hard way and can start performing their best today.

Knowing the nutrition fundamentals is crucial to building a successful and long-term sports nutrition strategy.
In this Phase we review key terms, how macronutrients and food groups go together, if basic supplements are needed, and the importance of hydration.
Athletes will create their own foundational fueling plan, determine their fluid goal and how to reach it and determine any potential nutrition gaps in their current intake.
Once the fundamentals are understood and habits have started to form we move into performance nutrition.
In this Phase we discuss digestion rates of food and drinks, performance-enhancing supplements, and performance hydration.
Athletes will create their own performance fueling plan, specifically listing their pre and intra-event fuel and their recovery fuel. They will determine how much fluid and what type of fluid they need around practices, games & performances and create a plan for helping achieve their goals.
It's also important to understand how nutrition can help prevent injuries and work through times when it feels hard to fuel well.
In this Phase we discuss the risks, signs and symptoms of underfueling and reasons young athletes might be underfueling. We'll also troubleshoot tough scenarios.
Athletes will take time to identify any signs or symptoms of underfueling and create a strategy to help optimize their intake based off of all they have previously learned, if needed.
We'll also have time to tackle tough fueling scenarios like: early morning practices, late night games, tournaments, mid-day performances and travel.
