Wonderful , just full of information for kids and parents. My daughter has read it , her Coach has read it - we have devised a team eating plans based on this book. There is not a topic that goes uncovered. At the end of every chapter there is a point form summary which makes getting the most important information a snap.I highly recommend this book to everyone but , especially , to those with developing athletes. It is a resource I use almost daily and I am sure that will continue for years to come!
