Key Points
- In indirect or reported speech, we convey what someone else has said without quoting them directly.
- The verb tense usually shifts back in the indirect speech.
- However, when the direct speech is in the present or future or when it expresses a universal truth, the tense of the verb doesn't change.
- In this case, the sentence "You should take a healthy diet" is advice that is always valid, not limited to a specific point in time, hence "should take" does not need to be changed.
Therefore, the correct answer is: 'My coach told me that I should take a healthy diet.'
