Understanding the fundamentals of performance nutrition is critical for any serious strength and conditioning program. Kayla Martin, MS,RD,CSSD,LDN, Assistant Athletic Director for Performance Nutrition Services at Penn State University, discusses the role multivitamins can play in the overall wellness of your student athletes. Multivitamins are critical for supporting an athlete’s body as it grows as well as its immune system when fighting off infection.

With a strong background in sports nutrition, Martin has been instrumental in helping athletes at Penn State achieve optimal performance through tailored nutrition plans and education, including the use of multivitamins.
Before joining Penn State, Martin gained valuable experience working with various sports teams and organizations. She started her career as a sports nutritionist for the United States Olympic Committee, where she supported elite athletes in their quest for Olympic glory. Following her tenure with the USOC, Martin worked with the National Football League’s (NFL) Houston Texans, helping them optimize their players’ nutritional needs. Her expertise and passion for sports nutrition have made her a sought-after speaker and consultant, frequently sharing her knowledge at conferences and workshops.
With her deep understanding of the relationship between nutrition and athletic performance — and the role played by multivitamins — Martin has become a pivotal figure in the world of sports nutrition, continuing to inspire and support athletes as they strive for excellence.
