What the Parents are Saying

“

I just wanted to thank you so much for hosting that webinar today. I am a pediatrician and an adolescent medicine specialist with a particular interest in sports medicine, injury prevention, and performance optimization. I just have to say that the nutrition expert you brought on today was absolutely phenomenal.

I am also the mom of a 13 year old hard working soccer player who happens to be a picky eater, and many of the suggestions shared today were incredibly actionable and helpful.

Really appreciate these types of educational opportunities from the larger Surf organization. Thank you.
