Soccer is not chaos. It is not merely running, kicking, or chasing the ball. It is a structured contest of territory, timing, deception, and willpower. And nowhere is this clearer than when we reinterpret the world’s most beloved sport through the timeless strategic lens of The Art of War. In The Art of War for Soccer: Strategy, Tactics, and Psychology on the Modern Pitch, the game is recast as a battle of space, rhythm, and resilience, where victory belongs not just to the fastest or most talented but to those who prepare most deeply and adapt most intelligently. Drawing on parallels ...

Have you been going to the gym for months now, but don’t look any different? Do you feel like, for the time invested, you should be bigger or more muscular than you currently are? If you’ve ever felt like you’re missing a piece of the puzzle, know this: Building muscle isn’t as complicated as the fitness industry wants you to believe. You already know what to do. You just lack the confidence to do it.

How do we go from proficiency to mastery in sports? From average to elite. From having a “lot of moving parts” to being economical and efficient in our movements. From feeling rushed and pressured to slowing time down and acting like you knew what was going to happen all along. From deciding to take the best option available to moving to shape and change the options afforded to us. From building easily disrupted and broken skills to adaptable and even anti-fragile ones, getting stronger through being challenged.

If I can do it, you definitely can do it! This has nothing to do with any new, fancy marketing software or tactic. It has nothing to do with any kind of newfangled sales funnel model or setup. And it has nothing to do with the latest marketing trend or fad. The method I’m going to share with you is unlike any of the common nutrition courses or certifications that teach you “head knowledge,” ...

As the coach, you are the leader of the team and should lead by example. The harder you work, the harder your team will work. There is not a perfect way to coach and it normally takes time to find the style that works best for you and motivates your players. This book will help you in that process. This book is not intended to be a complete guide on coaching because if you have ever coached, you realize that everything to know could not be contained in one book. It will help you become the coach that changes every game, the coach whose team every player wants to be on.

"My AI Diabetes Coach" is a book I never intended to write. It began as a health experiment. In Fall of 2023, an A1c score of 6.6% put me squarely in the diabetic range. My new doctor, somewhat surprisingly, asked me what I wanted to do about it. I suggested a 2-week trial of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), and in short order, I was fitted with a Freestyle Libre 3 CGM sensor, and the experiment was underway. On day 1, however, the experiment took an unexpected turn I had been trying out the latest version of Google's Al chatbot, Google Gemini, powered by the Gemini Pro model. On a whim...

"Je suis vidé" : qui n'a jamais ressenti cette perte d'énergie ? Et si nos problèmes de santé étaient l'expression d'émotions douloureuses ?

Et si nos blessures remontaient à notre passé, proche ou lointain, voire à un héritage (un événement antérieur à notre naissance) ?

The CSCS Study Guide was created to give listeners an easy, affordable, no nonsense approach to studying for the CSCS exam.

This book works along side the NSCA text to prepare you for what you can expect come exam day.

Forget charisma. Forget grit. Forget every locker-room cliché wrapped in nationalism, testosterone, and nostalgia. Football Relationism is not a book about heroes or heart—it is a brutal, forensic, system-level dissection of the sport we still dare to call “the beautiful game.” If traditional football thought in terms of players, moments, and formations, this book argues that the future belongs to relations: the interdependencies between zones, the mutual reading of intention, the invisible threads that connect one movement to the next. Told through the clipped, tactical voice of a ...
