"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

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." * Kirkus *
"Andrews offers quick recommendations for a wide variety of
high-participation sports.... [Any Given Monday is] 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." * Booklist *
Dr. James Andrews has one of those names you've read a million
