   Colleen Parsons-Olsson is the Director of Health and Fitness programs at the University of Calgary. She says kids need to pay more attention to nutrition if they play sports. "Have a snack before you exercise and then again soon after," she says.
   
   An hour or so before your game or practice, eat a little something. The closer to game time, the smaller the snack should be. Soon after the workout, have another snack, maybe a treat such as sweetened yogurt or chocolate milk. Parsons-Olsson says that while kids should eat less sugar, right after a workout, your body needs it for recovery.
