Coaches,
I was wondering what your thoughts/actions are in regards of telling kids about supplements such as protein powder, amino acids, creatine or any other minor, legal, beneficial supplements. When I was in HS, our coaches did not need to make us aware of them...we already knew about them and we would take creatine (this was during that creatine boom era) and protein powder/meal replacements on our own. However, seeing what these kids eat and how they replenish their bodies after workouts (if any), it is very alarming to me. I am a big believer in supplements, I lived on them in HS and in College. But our HC does not want us promoting anything to the kids. I would like to hear your thoughts on this and get an idea of what could be or should be done. Thanks and keep up the great work!
