Beschreibung

Athlete Sleep explores the vital link between sleep and athletic performance, highlighting how sleep optimization enhances muscle recovery, prevents injuries, and sharpens cognitive functions. Did you know that insufficient sleep weakens the body's ability to repair itself and can significantly impair mental clarity? The book presents sleep as an active component of athletic training, not just a passive period of rest, emphasizing its importance alongside nutrition and exercise.

 
The book begins by laying the foundation of sleep science and its relevance to athletes, and then progresses into the specific impact of sleep on muscle recovery, hormonal balance, and injury risk. Later chapters dive into cognitive benefits, like improved reaction time and decision-making. Unique to this book is its personalized approach, recognizing that each athlete has individual sleep needs based on their chronotype, training schedule, and travel demands.

 
This guide presents actionable strategies for improving sleep quality using evidence-based techniques, making it a valuable resource for athletes, coaches, and trainers seeking to unlock peak performance.

Pickleball is the fastest growing sport in America.

Pickleball Is Life is the first book of its kind celebrating the weird and wonderful world of pickleball. It will take readers on a journey from the sport’s quirky origins to its modern-day cult following. Along the way, learn more pickleball knowledge, including etiquette tips, a DIY court, obscure rules, and pointers for (good-natured) trash talk. Also included are interviews with members of the three founding families from Bainbridge Island who are still very much involved in the sport and its growth.
People of all ages, athletic abilities, and backgrounds have fallen in love with pickleball. Sure, it’s a good workout, but it’s also a cheerful way to interact with others—something folks crave now more than ever. So, whether they’re uninitiated or obsessed, this book will help readers find even more to love about the world’s greatest sport.
