All sports require an
understanding of basic skills and techniques which are
essential for a particular sport. For many years,
athletes and coaches have felt that success was dependent upon
a thorough knowledge of: 1) the technical; 2) the
physiological and 3) the psychological aspects of sport.
However, in recent years, a
fourth area of concern has emerged: Nutrition. With
today's athlete being bigger, faster, stronger, and also
highly experienced, it has become increasingly difficult to
"get the edge" on the competition. It is in
this environment that an interest in understanding nutrition
has developed. Good nutrition will give the athlete the
energy necessary to practice his/her sport, the technical
skills necessary to achieve success and the ability to
properly perform in competition. This, in turn, will
provide him/her with the self confidence necessary to win.
The goal of this practical and
useful book is to give coaches, athletes, parents, and
recreational exercisers a practical guide to the unique
nutritional demands of athletics and exercises. A solid
informational background for good nutrition and actual
training table recipes are provided.
