And I think there are other ways that Tim Green is writing from the perspective of an accomplished athlete... to kids who are themselves actively involved in sports. His middle school athletes eat kind of a lot of junk food, for example. So much that I had to stop the CD and ask my husband, who played varsity basketball in high school and rugby at college, if kid athletes expended so many calories that they had to consume extra. He said he didn't recall any diet recommendations from his high school coaches at all (Catholic schools again) but that in college each member of the rugby team was issued his own Kegerator.
