💧 Hydration tips that actually impact performance.

📅 The difference between fueling on training days, rest days, and tournament weekends.

👩‍🦰 Nutrition challenges for female athletes.

🌱 Vegetarian and vegan considerations.

💊 Supplements: when things like creatine, electrolytes, or protein powders make sense.
