From Booklist
Despite widespread worries of sedentary youth and obesity, many kids are playing sports with greater intensity than ever before. Whether pushed by parents or driven by their own dreams, young players who train as hard as the pros put themselves in danger of major-league injuries. Andrews has seen it all in his long and celebrated career, treating living legends, college phenoms, and kids whose overtraining destroyed their potential. He hopes here to educate parents, grandparents, coaches, trainers, and other medical personnel about safer ways to develop talent and prevent sports injuries from occurring. After a sobering overview, Andrews offers quick recommendations for a wide variety of high-participation sports, from baseball, football, basketball, and soccer to skiing, snowboarding, swimming, and cheerleading (which he calls completely out of control). Much can be accomplished simply with rest and cross-training. While it is unlikely that many will read this cover to cover, it makes a great pass-around for parents and grandparents and demands to be read by youth coaches, trainers, and sports administrators, who, hopefully, will heed Andrews’ call for change. --Keir Graff

Review
"Young athletes are one of our most important resources, and in Any Given Monday Dr. Andrews provides them with the caution, wisdom, and inspiration they need to succeed in sports and in life."
(Brett Favre)
"Dr. Andrews has long been recognized as a preeminent leader in sports medicine, and I have been fortunate to have him as my “go to” doctor throughout my career. Not only does he have a unique ability to truly understand athletes and the demands they place on their bodies to perform at the highest level, he also understands faith, family, and the balance we all need to live life to the fullest. This book belongs in the library of every parent and coach in the country."
(Bo Jackson)
"Dr. Andrews is certainly among the best, and the best athletes come to him. I could not have played 16 years in the NBA without him—and most importantly he’s always been my friend."
(Charles Barkley)
“Andrews, a pioneering orthopedic surgeon in his fifth decade of practicing sports medicine, is uniquely qualified to pen this type of medical sourcebook….A gold mine of contemporary cautionary information for the sports-minded.”

Dr. James Andrews has one of those names you’ve read a million times. But you’ve never really heard what’s on his mind until now."

Both educational and entertaining, Any Given Monday includes anecdotes about Andrews’ remarkable career (he was a champion pole vaulter in his youth and later a successful yacht racer) as well as tips for coaches and trainers.
