Teens in sports will benefit from reading this book. This book clearly lays out dietary principles in language that can be understood and acted upon. Teens who want to excel in sports can read this and do it. It is great to have a book directed towards teens/young adults!I received a free copy of this book from the publisher, no review required. My opinions are my own.
Helpful for preparing your athlete on how to eat and hydrate for each occasion. Great information for my athletic son. Its a bit on the repetitive in multiple locations.
Really good I formation. I appreciate the information and detail in this book. I really love the food plan and the menu and recipes. It allows me to see how I can take what I’m already doing and take it up a notch.
Purchased for athletic grandson. Grandson loved it. He had told me he was always confused about what to eat to build and maintain a strong, healthy body. This book is helping him a lot.

Recipes are awesome. Wonderful book to introduce good nutrition through recipes. The cottage cheese pancakes is the favorite recipe in my family.
