The coach's guide to beating the Freshman Fifteen, Sophomore Slump, crippling anxiety, and your worst hangover! Learn to take care of yourself, and de-stress throughout your undergrad years and beyond. Every fall, millions of young adults crash into college fired up for the best four years of their lives, ready to experience campus life, take classes about things they’re interested in, and meet people from all over the world. Most students, however, are better prepared to pick their major or talk to strangers than they are to take care of themselves in the college setting.

College students today are more depressed, anxious, and stressed than previous waves of students; they’re also more sedentary, not really exercising, and living in a meal-plan limbo supplemented with ramen and coffee. In this comprehensive field guild, high school coaches Jill and Dave Henry break down the facts and deliver doable, no-BS strategies for managing physical and mental health on campus. In addition to helpful, interactive graphics, the coaches share their relatable true stories—ranging from the ridiculous to the serious—to discuss the five biggest health obstacles students face in college. On top of researchbacked tips,

The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed also features raw and personal advice from current students on college campuses across the country. While simply figuring out what to eat and how to exercise can be completely overwhelming, this guide goes beyond a basic crash course on how to be healthy. Jill and Dave cover everything from crucial timemanagement skills to the complex sensitivity of self-doubt, sexual assault, and depression with humor, humility, and heart. The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed is a complete road map for how to take care of your mind and body that will not only set students up to crush the next four years, but will also provide a foundation they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

“The Greatest College Health Guide You Never Knew You Needed is absolutely the book I wish I could have handed my two sons went they went off to college. First of all, coaches Jill and Dave Henry provide critical information that’s straightforward, complete, and honest. As teachers, coaches, and former college students in the current millennia, they have a great instinct for what incoming first years should know and how to tell them in a language they understand. This is essential reading. The perfect gift book for a high school graduate or for any of the two million college students in America.” —Lian Dolan, Los Angeles Times Bestselling Author

Jill and Dave Henry met coaching high school sports, and have been working with teens for nearly 15 years. With every graduating class, they've fielded their student-athletes' concerns about the transition to college. Determined to help, the Henrys decided to leverage their combined professional skills in research, data analysis, study design, and storytelling (Jill is a veteran statistics teacher, Dave is an Peabody award-winning TV and film editor) to create a fun yet informative resource to help young adults enjoy college without sacrificing their health. They live in Los Angeles with their two young kids and poorly-trained (but lovable) dog.
