a fate that could easily have had a different outcome if I had been equipped
with the knowledge that Amelie shares with us in this book.
Now that my daughter is competing, I am delighted that Amelie has also
focused on nutrition for junior athletes, especially at a time when there is
so much emphasis on image and the “body beautiful.” This education will
stay with young athletes for the rest of their lives well into their post-
competition years, helping to maintain health and wellbeing throughout
adulthood.
There are many nutrition books on the market, yet none examine as fully
or as effectively the relationship combative athletes have with nutrition. I
believe Amelie is a pioneer in this field, making a massive contribution to
her sport, and to mine.
