Editorial Reviews

Train Like A Champ: Harnessing Peak Performance is an excellent, comprehensive book that examines areas where athletes who may not have more than a standard understanding of training can increase their performance. My concern when I selected this book was that the science behind it would be too complex or inaccessible, but the author delivered her expertise comfortably.... Overall, this is an intelligent, well written & wonderful resource for athletes and trainers at all levels.

I have to say that I commend you for having the self discipline and determination to write such a practical and thought provoking book. You masterfully addressed how we can use our knowledge of human body systems to achieve our peak performance. We can achieve much more in life if we know how to tap into our physical strength and emotional intelligence. I am blessed to have crossed paths with you. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge with the world.
