Free Chapter: Fuel, Sleep & Recovery (from the PlayStrong Parent Playbook)

The chapter I'd start with. Free.

Most parents try to fix the top of the pyramid. More sessions. Another skills coach. A different club. This chapter is about the bottom of it: fuel, sleep and recovery. The habits that hold everything else up.

Inside:

• What growing athletes actually need to eat, and why "I'm not hungry" often isn't laziness
• How much sleep kids and teenagers need, and the habits that get them there
• Why recovery is part of training, not time off from it
• The five weekly habits worth locking in, and a fuel red flags checklist

It's Chapter 3 of the PlayStrong Parent Playbook, exactly as it appears in the book. Read it in ten minutes. Pick one habit. Try it this week.
