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.
