Kids play sports for fun

Categories:

As the new year begins, we take this opportunity to relook at a Mark Hyman article in the NY Times from Jan 2011. Mark discovered a high school sophomore in Connecticut researching why kids play sports using a survey from the Institute for Youth Sports @ Michigan State Univ. His findings? Kids play sports to have fun. Imagine that!

            Gatorade Sports Science Institute: If you are interested in learning more about sports nutrition--one of the secrets to athletic success--then I suggest you check out the published research at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute.  Obviously, Gatorade has a business interest in the hydration component of sports nutrition but the studies available were conducted at the Gatorade Sports Science Institute or at universities around the world.   In addition to the research, Gatorade has an extensive sport science library for coaches to utilize as well.  Lastly, Gatorade, in conjunction with many sports organizations, offers continuing education credits for coaches and athletic trainers.
