Dr. Tommy John's unique program: a diet, lifestyle, and movement plan
(Rethink. Rebuild. Replenish. Recover) for injury- and
performance-proofing young athletes in every sport
Beginning as early as age 6 and continuing through the teenage years and
on into their twenties, both male and female athletes are more at risk
of serious injuries at younger ages than ever before. Dr. Tommy John,
son of lefty pitcher Tommy John and also a sports performance and
healing specialist, offers an invaluable diet, lifestyle, and movement
plan (Rethink. Rebuild. Replenish. Recover) for injury- and
performance-proofing young athletes in every sport. Dr. John explores
the sudden rise of Tommy John surgeries being performed on young
athletes today, as well as the many injuries--and the surgeries required
to fix them--increasing at an alarming rate in baseball and all youth
sports. Dr. John's book outlines the three top causes behind this
"injury epidemic" The American lifestyle, the business of youth sports
(from coaches to corporations), and the decisions we believe as parents
are truly benefiting our children. Minimize Injury, Maximize
Performance focuses on prevention, and also offers tips on how to
tailor the advice for athletes coming back from an injury, with over 120
black and white photographs.
