Acknowledgments

Thanks to Edward McNeely, who did a fantastic job of helping me develop the outline and scope of this book. Thanks to Julie Rhoda, who artfully and skillfully brought this book together and saw it through the home stretch while enduring the stress of both her first pregnancy and my wedding.

Much appreciation to the photo shoot crew of Dan Wendt, Carla Zych, Nicole McBean, and Yvette Dorian. I've spend a late Saturday night with you anytime!

Special thanks to the entire Human Kinetics staff for their invaluable help in producing this book.

I gratefully thank all of my parents and all of my friends, who were always a source of constant encouragement and support.

To my amazing and brilliant husband Tom, who has given me the inspiration, motivation, and confidence to succeed: Thank you for your professional help and your love.
