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 Five Pillars

Simple tools every young athlete can actually use.

Prepare
Warm up and prepare your body before activity so you can perform your best from the first step.
Fuel
Stay hydrated and properly fueled with nutrition that supports energy, focus, and recovery.
Protect
Practice safely, use proper technique, and protect your body from preventable injuries.
Listen
Recognize when your body is telling you something is wrong, and speak up without fear.
Recover
Understand that rest and recovery are part of becoming a stronger, more resilient athlete.
“We teach kids how to play the game, but we should also teach them how to protect the body that lets them play.”
