About this listen

How to Grow an Athlete: From Playground to Podium is every parent's dream 'go to' book to help maximise your child's growth and development and improve both sporting and academic performance. Exploring a wide range of health, food, sporting and academic advice, this ground-breaking book is by well-known dietitian and nutritionist, Lea Stening.

Lea has more than 40 years of experience working in sports nutrition and paediatrics. Lea has worked in all areas of school sporting codes and also nationally at high performance and academy levels including New Zealand Cricket, New Zealand Rowing, and New Zealand Paralympian sports.

Although How to Grow an Athlete: From Playground to Podium focuses on children and sports nutrition, the basic themes that encourage healthy eating can be applied to the whole family.

A fantastic resource for parents of active kids! As our child gets more involved in sports, I started wondering if he’s getting all the nutrients he needs to grow, play, and stay injury-free. There’s so much information online, but none of it is as clear, systematic, and evidence-based as Lea Stening’s book.
I bought both the physical and Audible versions. The narration is easy to follow, and I love being able to look up key points in the book to share with others. This book reminded us that kids’ sports should be about having fun and building lifelong healthy habits, while also showing us how to support them through optimal nutrition. It is a valuable reference book we’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend!
