Synopsis:
The science of sports nutrition is well researched and well understood, but its implementation is not always easy. Sure, we all have the same basic biology, but sports nutrition in practice has to consider an athlete or active person's home life, work life, stressors, physical and mental environment, competition days, varying training schedule, preferences with food, injuries, and more. This is the exciting world of sports nutrition: taking into account the ever-changing needs of the athlete you're working with to optimise their health, performance, and recovery with all the tools and techniques at your disposal.
This book, the third in our BTN Academy series, will show you how to optimise the four branches of athletics - endurance, making weight, physique preparation, and team sports. While this seems like a small number of activities the principles learned within this book combined with those learned in books one and two will enable you to work with just about every athlete on the planet. As you read, try not to think only in terms of the athletes discussed, but of the principles we teach and how they relate to different activities you may encounter; after all everyone is looking to optimise their health, recovery and performance.
On top of these four branches of athletics, you will also be introduced to the world of image and performance enhancing drugs, allowing you to speak confidently should any client ever ask you about their effects or admit use. If you think you'll ever work with anyone involved in a sport, this is a must-read, welcome to the art and science of sports nutrition.
