The 3/4 Rule is written for parents, coaches, trainers, athletes and educators. A powerfully effective nutrition model that is concise, easy to understand and a "no-brainer" to use. Although this book focuses on young athletes, The 3/4 Rule applies to nearly everyone - including you. Discover the difference between Nutrition for Survival vs. Nutrition for Athletes, why all protein is not created equal and how to decode any nutrition label with one simple rule. We'll also dig into those unregulated, expensive, heavily marketed magic bullets - supplements. The ¾ Rule is not restrictive, applies to all eating environments, and most of what you will find in this book you have not read or heard before. Although you may not know me yet, I am about to turn the world of youth sports training right side up. On the surface a background in philosophy and physics may seem... well... "Interesting", it inadvertently helped provide a foundation for the development of my unique perspectives in athletic development and rehabilitation. I don't just ask the questions and point out problems most others don't - I also bring solutions. I enjoy my family, kayaking, rock climbing, 4 wheeling off-road, Buddhism, burning the midnight oil, problem solving and pie. My literary heroic thinkers are Isaac Asimov, Steven Covey, Aldous Huxley, William James, Steven Levitt, George Orwell, Ayn Rand, Socrates and Dr. Seuss. Did I mention pie
