THE TRAINING TABLE

The idea and origination of this project came during a phone conversation with
Dr. Ira Wolinsky, who read a previous book chapter that I had authored. After a
couple more conversations and e-mail exchanges, the idea for this book developed.
The concept of the “Training Table” became the primary interest and direction
of this book for various reasons. The practice known as the “training table,” which
is defined as a table where athletes in a training program eat planned meals to help
in their conditioning/training, leads ultimately to improved adaptation and enhanced
performance.
