someone who spent way too long in a sport that's brutal, requires a high level of masochism -- and (to my detriment now) was less regulated when I was in school. We didn't get info about how to eat right, and we didn't get tracked for whether we were pushing ourselves too much or in the wrong ways. I totally hear ya on that! When i did gymnastics, track, & crew in high school & college, they never told us a darn thing about proper nutrition, overtraining, sleep, rest days, anything like that. I'm sure they pay a lot more attention to those subjects these days ( it's been a long time for me, I'll be 44 this year).
