(4) YA Getting the Edge: Conditioning, Injuries, and Legal & Illicit Drugs series. From historical overviews to mental preparation, this series provides details about the title sports for young athletes. Chapters address the treatment of common injuries; nutrition; and the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs. The crowded pages include lots of photographs (some instructive, some decorative) and occasional sidebars. There's good information here, but the volumes try to cram in a little too much. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Getting the Edge: : Conditioning, Injuries, and Legal & Illicit Drugs titles: Extreme Sports, Football, Gymnastics, Baseball and Softball, and Hockey.
