Long story short, theplayersplate is an easy to read guide to sports nutrition that also talks about how to navigate the less tangible societal and psychological aspects of fueling - one that I wish I’d had as a high school athlete. 

Pressures to look or eat a certain way can come from family, coaches, social media, and even yourself, and can take away from both your quality of life and your ability to compete at your best. 

In The Players’ Plate, you’ll find everything I wish I’d known when starting out my athletic career. From what macronutrients are, to how to deal with body image and societal pressures that come with being an athlete, to the importance of knowing what registered dietitians are and why I cite them in every chapter. (And easy recipes at the end of each chapter teaching you how to put what you learned into practice👩🏼‍🍳)

I am extremely grateful to have had Rebecca Youngs, MS, RD, LD, endureperformance_nutrition review the entire manuscript and help me put together a resource that hopefully can change the lives of countless athletes competing at any level

I am also so so grateful to every single one of you that has bought, shared, left a review, or sent me messages about reading your copy of The Players Plate. And for those who are new here, I sincerely hope that reading it is as impactful for you as writing it was for me🫶🏼 Okay that’s all for my TED talk, hope you’ll stick around for some more(: #mentalhealth #sportsnutrition #author #hyponatremia
