Page 9 - The Essential Guide to Sports Nutrition and Bodybuilding (Sample)

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of my mentors. They have provided me with a deep understanding of the science behind all aspects of sports-related nutrition and physiology over the last 25+ years.
I’d like to give special thanks to Dr Anthony Leeds, at Kings College London, and Professor Thomas Sanders. Their knowledge and wisdom so clearly displayed during our one-to-one tuition sessions over the years have contributed massively towards the backbone of many topics covered throughout this book.
I would also like to acknowledge the extensive research undertaken by the plethora of doctors, scientists, nutritionists and researchers whose work has been referenced throughout this book. Without their notable contribution towards the world of sports nutrition and bodybuilding, I would not have been able to undertake this project.
I wish to extend my thanks to the many personal trainers, bodybuilders, and athletes I’ve had the pleasure to work with. My sincere appreciation extends further to Dermot Gallagher, Chris Halgreen and Dave “Bulldog” Beattie in particular. Over the years, these three gentlemen have demonstrated a superb knowledge base which has served to inspire me both inside the gym as well as throughout my daily life.
Finally, I wish to thank my mother and my brother for their continual love and support whilst writing this book.
