"Some nice insight into the hard work and dedication needed to get the top performance nutrition jobs. Plenty of interesting thoughts on volunteering for free and how investing in yourself always yields the highest return on investment. I think I would have approached my time at university slightly differently had I read this book!"

"I bought this book not knowing what to expect but had heard others talk about it. What I found was a useful "go to" guide on a myriad of diverse topics which provide nuggets of information that I can practically apply.

I like most of all the depth of knowledge required is as much as you desire. There is a clear focus on putting the obvious scientific insight into real life practice which I found really helpful and more importantly, kept things interesting and relevant.

This will be a book that serves as a helpful reference point for a number of years and is well worth its space on an ever growing (cluttered) shelf which rightfully earns its place amongst some strong competition."

"If you want to gain genuine insight to the increasingly competitive performance nutrition industry, this book is a must buy. You can fast track your learning from the experiences and journeys of some of the current elite nutritionists who are at the top of their game. James's questioning of the subjects allows us all to learn about how to be successful rather than simply 'what is appropriate nutrition for the sport of ....' It's fascinating, well set out, easy to read and from a wide variety of practitioners. I have found it really beneficial and is certainly a book I'd re-read and keep referring to. Essential for any young people who are considering how best to progress in this field."

"A great an informative book that I wish I had when I started my academic journey with the dream of becoming a Performance Nutritionist with top flight athletes. Well written with genuine insights on how some of the leaders in the field have navigated the reality of applied practice following University. A brilliant book for anyone who is interested in how elite sport works. Can't recommend this enough for applied practitioners or those studying to get into the field. Much needed and a great read."
