Community Service Initiative

BODY SMART by McKenna

Train Smart. Play Safe. Stay Strong.

Sports and dance have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. My Community Service Initiative, BODY SMART by McKenna, is about helping young athletes understand how important it is to take care of their bodies while doing the activities they love.

The LOVEU Framework

The Five Pillars

Always LOVE U and your body.

  1. L

    01

    Listen

    Tune in to what your body is telling you — pain, fatigue, and changes matter.

  2. O

    02

    Observe

    Watch how you move, recover, and feel so small issues do not become big ones.

  3. V

    03

    Vigilance

    Stay alert to warning signs and protect yourself with smart habits and early action.

  4. E

    04

    Explore

    Learn new ways to warm up, fuel, rest, and ask for help when you need it.

  5. U

    05

    You

    Your body is yours for life — prioritize care, rest, and speaking up for yourself.

“We teach kids how to play the game, but we should also teach them how to protect the body that lets them play.”
