Summary: I LOVE this book!!
Comment: I'm an athlete. Reading this book helped me to understand how to avoid common injuries associated with the sports I play that I had previously experienced and how to prevent them. It was so well written and easy to read. Thank you Dr. Beim! Now when I participate in any sport, I can do so with the added knowledge of preventing injury.

Summary: Good for the Injury-Prone Weekend Warrior
Comment: I got this book for my girlfriend. While not a competitve athlete she does play several sports and has been injured in all of them. I liked the fact that this book was written by a female doctor/athlete. A large part of the book is broken down by sport and explains the injuries typical of each one along with tips on prevention.

My "walk it off" advice never gets a good reaction so I'm counting on this book to reduce future injuries.

Rating: 5
Summary: A must read!
Comment: This book is awesome! I just read the section on knee injuries and learned what I should have known last year before I underwent ACL reconstruction. Dr Beim's explanations are very clear and readable. This is the kind of information you need to be your own advocate when visiting the doc to discuss your injury. It's so important to be armed with this kind of powerful information when you are choosing a surgeon. I sure wish I had read this book and knew what to ask my Doc BEFORE my surgery. I'm sure it would have saved me from having to go under the knife twice!
I highly recommend this book for every active female who wants to be proactive in her own health care choices! It's also a pearl for learning how to listen to your body to prevent alot of those self-induced, over use injuries so common to the average athlete.
READ THIS BOOK!
