The Athletic Woman's Survival Guide. Paperback, 276 pp
Being able to push your body's limits to thrive in training and competition is the hallmark of a great athlete. But for many women this pressure to succeed can become a double-edged sword, motivating them to excel yet also distorting their perceptions of what are healthy and productive training practices. The result too often is a set of three serious health concerns that make up the female athlete triad.
Because the triad is preventable, the book provides recommendations for changing the attitudes of the people dealing with female athletes. Suggestions are included for coaches and parents on providing positive reinforcement about the female's weight, self-esteem, and body image. With the help of The Athletic Woman's Survival Guide , athletes can find out how to get help so they can once again train, compete, and be healthy all at the same time. |
