What type of Vitamins and exercise can give my daughter energy in basketball?

My daughter is 16 years old, and plays highschool basketball.

Last school season her average was 20 plus, a game, her highest was 33 points. She is 6ft 3 inches, and about 250 pds.

She play Center Post, and is a good player. The problem is her Coach gets on her about not running very fast, and complains that she needs to lose weight, and says she runs too slow. My daughter also has fallen arches like me, and is flat foot, and often complains of sore ankles. I've take her to a foot specialist, who recommended physical therapy to build the muscles in her ankles. We have been going there for that.

My daughter Coach is still on her about her running, and my daughter who has had a few colleges looking at her, could get a Basketball Scholarship, but her Coach tells her that the way she runs, that no College is going to take her.

I have been very upset with this guy, me and my husband about what he says to her. MY question is how can we help her to have more energy, and to get in shape?

I'm not sure about anything else, but as she's a woman, I'd make sure she's getting enough iron in her diet, because a lot of women don't. This should help improve her energy levels.

As for vitamins, you don't want a cheap vitamin. I have taken NatureMade multivitamins ever since I heard a doctor recommend them on a talk radio show (along with a number of other brands that I couldn't remember). You can't find them in all stores, but you should look around. Walmart doesn't carry the multivitamin, but for some reason they carry everything else - Calcium, Chromium, Vit. E, fish oil, etc, etc... So I have to stop at Walgreens or a grocery store to get NatureMade multivitamins.

As for running, I've noticed that I do much better at the gym than outside on the streets. On the streets, my legs hurt fairly badly. When I get on a treadmill at the gym, that problem totally goes away. If she is playingcollegebasketball, she should also be lifting weights. I'm not a real big man, but I lift weights six days a week. I work out my upper body on M, W, F, and my lower body on T, Th, Sat. She should start with simple exercises like bench press, curls, leg press, and leg curls. She will catch on my watching other people in the gym. Having the desire is the main key. She has to want it. It sounds like she may end up being a fatty one day if she doesn't work out. So that's one motivation. Plus, there are lots of cute guys at the gym. Whatever it takes for her to want it because if she doesn't want it then she won't go to gym. As for myself, I just asked myself one day if I wanted to be skinny or be strong, and I said I wanted to be strong. Otherwise, I'd be 6'0" and 125 lbs today. Instead, I'm 185 lbs. Just ask her what she wants in life -- to be a loser or a winner. Maybe you could tie her allowance to it! Her coach may or may not being doing a good thing when he tries to motivate her. It sounds to me fairly normal for a coach to be getting on a player in his program about anything. He's the hard case that you can't be.

I'm sure your daughter has a busy schedule, but you should do everything to get her to a gym for a half hour a day, probably after school. It's just a half hour, and it will make a big difference if she keeps it up over time.

A child can't diet unless the parents take the lead. I ballooned to 205 lbs, and I had to get rid of all the chips, ice cream, sodas, and sweets in the house. I went on a strict low fat diet and lost the weight in about 9 months.

Shaquille O'Neal, who plays center, has or very recently had a television show on ABC about school-aged children losing weight and getting into shape. It's called Shaq's Big Challenge.

I also like watching television shows like Fat March and Biggest Loser. I think those are the right names of the shows. But Shaq is a big star, and he does a real good job leading the children on the show. He's great with the kids, and he also deals with the teachers and parents.

I wish I was blessed with the size to playcollegesports. Your daughter doesn't know how lucky she is. Bubba Paris was an All-Pro offensive lineman for many years for the San Francisco 49er's. He has twin daughters who are big like him, and both play at the University of Oklahoma. One of them is an All-American. Akeem Olajuwan was very tall and a great center for the Houston Rockets, and his daughter enrolled there also. They have a Top 10 team with some great centers/ forwards. There is a picture of Courtney Paris on their website.

I don't know if this is the right recommendation for fallen aches, but I've heard that the Good Feet Store helps people feel a whole lot better in their shoes. They sell a complete line of arch supports made for different types of feet. I think most cities have one. You can check their website. At any rate, they are feet experts. As for myself, I use Dr Scholl's Messaging Gel Insoles. I broke my heel many years ago, and they soften my step tremendously.

Good luck to your daughter. I hope she gets acollegescholarship. She can also continue her career at a communitycollegebecause colleges recruit from there also.
Yeah I play basketball as well, only i'm really short lol but i think you should confront the coach about her running and tell him to back off. She can improve at her own pace. Ok what may help her run better is using a high performance diet. Such as filingl her with more Carbohydrates and protien. This gives energy for her to use and store. I personally take Iron, and Calcium pills. Once a day. But start out with taking one every other day ,don't take both at the same time everyday if you are going to use them.

Also are you sure this is whats best for your daughter does she want to do this? Does she want to playcollegeball? Or is this what everyone assumes that she wants? Well I have also had a very bad coach that complained a lot. But to get her i shape you must start gradually, start with a mile a day then increase to 2 miles a day then 3 miles aday. Then for agilty and speed, ladders are great. Being a post player she should be able to rip those rebounds off, so put her on weights, There are also good sources of books out there such as "conditioning for basketball" they can teach you how and what to do in workouts to fit you. Well this guy sounds like a total a** but don't let him interfear with her playing even though he is the coach he should know when to stop saying something like that over and over agian cause it gets personal after awhile. But tell your daughter to keep up the good work , also encourage her whenever you can she gets so much critisism from the coach she could use encouragement. HAVE A GREAT SEASON THIS YEAR GREAT LUCK TO YOU!!!

iron... proteins.... vitiams B ,, B for basketball lol.. rellie thooo
Well I know in order to get faster is not easy. I play basketball too I want to get faster, also i am flat footed. So suggest that she eats healthy amount of carbohydrates like noddles. She should do vigorous work outs like stair running and suicides to increase her speed. Being flat foot sucks, you should probably get her arch supports for her shoes and continue going to the doctor. Vitamins i dont think that will help that much but take a multi vitamin everyday is probably the best.

So after doing this and when your daughter gets a scholarship you should stick it in front of the douce bags coach's face.
I'd be willing to help attempt to correct her flat-footedness. Email me at k.sordo@gmail.com, if you'd like help with it.
