Your athlete puts in the work. Early mornings, double practices, back-to-back tournaments. But if they're not fueling their body to match the demands of their sport, that effort has a ceiling.
Most teen athletes are guessing. Coaches cover technique. Schools cover fitness. Nobody covers nutrition, not in a way that's built around their sport, their training schedule, and their body.
Sprout Nourishment fills that gap. Jaci Salley, Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (CNTP), builds personalized nutrition programs for competitive athletes ages 13 to 18. Not a generic meal plan, a complete fueling system designed around your athlete's sport, schedule, and competitive season.
And for parents, that means real clarity at the grocery store. Every program includes grocery lists built around your athlete's plan, so you know exactly what to buy, not just what they should be eating.Athletes who fuel their training with a plan built for their body recover faster, focus longer, and show up ready to compete.

Every athlete arrives with a different set of demands. These are the areas where Sprout Nourishment works.
Sports Nutrition Consulting
One-on-one work that builds a nutrition strategy around your athlete's specific sport and training load. It addresses energy availability, macronutrient timing, and hydration in a way that translates directly to performance on the field. This is where most athletes discover the specific adjustments that have been holding them back.
Athletic Performance Nutrition
Focuses on optimizing what your athlete eats before, during, and after training to improve output and reduce fatigue. The right fuel at the right time is the difference between a practice where your athlete improves and one where they just survive it. Every recommendation is built around their training schedule, not a general template.
Sports Recovery Nutrition
Addresses what happens after the final whistle. Muscle repair, inflammation reduction, and sleep quality all depend on what your athlete eats in the hours after competition. Faster recovery means more productive practices, fewer injuries, and the ability to compete at full intensity more often.
Youth Sports Nutrition
Accounts for the fact that adolescent athletes have different nutritional needs than adult athletes. Growth, development, and athletic performance are happening simultaneously. A nutrition plan that ignores this creates deficits that show up as fatigue, injury, or burnout. Jaci builds every teen athlete program with these factors built in.
Teen Athlete Nutrition
Built around the practical realities of a competitive teen's schedule: school, practice, travel, and competition days that do not wait for ideal conditions. The program gives your athlete habits and systems they can execute independently, not a rigid meal plan that falls apart the moment their schedule changes.
Competition Day Nutrition
The strategy your athlete uses on game day: what to eat the night before, the morning of, and between events. Most athletes get this wrong and pay for it in energy crashes and slow reaction times. Getting it right is a competitive edge that requires no additional training.
Nutrition for Lacrosse Players
Addresses the specific demands of a sport that requires sustained speed, explosive agility, and the conditioning to maintain both through four quarters. Jaci has worked with lacrosse teams and individual players at the club and travel level, building nutrition strategies tailored to the demands of the sport.
Sports Nutrition Denver
Available to athletes and teams across the Denver metro area and surrounding region, with in-person sessions at Jaci's Denver practice and virtual sessions available for athletes who train or compete outside the area.
How the Program Works
Six steps from first contact to a nutrition system your athlete owns for life.
01
Free Consultation
A 30-minute call to understand your athlete's sport, training schedule, current eating habits, and performance goals. This is not a sales call. It is an assessment. If the program is not the right fit, Jaci will tell you.
02
Comprehensive Intake Assessment
Your athlete completes a detailed health and nutrition history covering training load, sleep, hydration, digestion, energy patterns, and food preferences. This gives Jaci the foundation for a program that is specific, not generic.
03
Initial Testing
Depending on your athlete's needs, Jaci may recommend food sensitivity testing or additional assessment to identify any nutritional gaps or sensitivities affecting performance. Testing options are discussed during the consultation and are not required for every athlete.
04
Custom Nutrition Plan
Jaci builds a sport-specific nutrition plan covering daily fueling, pre-training and post-training nutrition, competition day strategy, and hydration. The plan is written for your athlete's real schedule, including school days, travel weekends, and tournament blocks.
05
Coaching Sessions
Ongoing sessions to review progress, adjust the plan, and build the knowledge your athlete needs to make good decisions independently. Sessions are conducted in person in Denver or virtually, on a schedule that fits your athlete's season.
06
Independent Performance
The program ends when your athlete understands their own nutritional needs well enough to manage them without a practitioner looking over their shoulder. The goal is a lifelong skill set, not a dependency on continued coaching.

Questions

Most nutrition advice is built for adults and adapted down to teens. This program is built specifically for competitive athletes in the 13 to 18 age range, accounting for the simultaneous demands of growth, development, and athletic performance. Every recommendation is calibrated to your athlete's sport and their actual training schedule.
No. Most athletes who work with Jaci are healthy and performing well. They come because they want to perform better, recover faster, or build habits before a critical recruitment season. You do not need a diagnosis to benefit from a nutrition program designed for performance.
A full breakdown is in the What Is Included section above. Every athlete receives a comprehensive assessment, a custom sport-specific nutrition plan, ongoing coaching sessions to adjust the plan as the season progresses and a copy of Jaci's guide book.
The initial assessment and strategy session is the most time-intensive part of the process. After that, coaching sessions are scheduled around your athlete's training and competition calendar. Most athletes spend 30 to 60 minutes per session, with practical homework they can apply in their daily routine.
Yes. Jaci works with athletes across the country through virtual sessions. Testing, where applicable, is completed through local draw sites. The program does not require you to be in Denver.
Your athlete leaves with a complete understanding of their own nutritional needs and the habits to manage them independently. Jaci can discuss extended support or seasonal check-in packages for athletes who want continued accountability.
