Salt is bad for you. It’s impossible to drink too much water. Right? Wrong. Very wrong. These are a couple of the many intricacies of sports nutrition that are less commonly known but can be life altering. Duke All - American track and field athlete Emily Cole learned this the hard way. In The Players’ Plate, Emily helps fellow athletes realize just how different their nutritional needs are from the general public and equips them with tools to find their optimal fueling plan.

Through personal anecdotes from Olympic medalists, professional athletes, and registered dietitians, you will learn fundamental sports nutrition lessons—including those that extend beyond one’s physical plate. Key performance enhancing concepts include:

• A guide to macros, supplements, and confusing “health” labels

• The importance of eating your meals with others and finding balance in the kitchen

• Protecting your body image and mental relationship with food

Equipped with these concepts and whole foods recipes to put each of them into practice, The Players’ Plate is a necessary listen for anyone hoping to have a long and healthy career while enjoying delicious food.

Players Plate- Authentic and Balanced

Overall, this book was a phenomenal listen. I am probably not the intended audience for this book because I do not have one iota of athleticism in my body. However, I am a huge fan and supporter of both Emily Cole and her Hustle and Harmony podcast she hosts with her Sister Julia. Emily’s authenticity is refreshing and it was amazing to hear the book in her voice

This book was a great introduction to sports nutrition and was bolstered by experts and extensive research. This book has helped reorient some of my relationship with food in a more positive manner. I would recommend this book for young athletes tenfold.
