It sounds simple because it is simple. But don’t let simple fool you. This isn’t easy.

Never Let Go: A Philosophy of Lifting, Living and Learning

40 Years with a Whistle-40 years of coaching tips woven into a touching memoir of a coach's life Dan John has been performing as an athlete for six decades. His coaches-the mentors he describes in this book-steered him on the narrow path toward success in both sports and life. These coaches emphasized performance, yes...but they all also insisted on the balance of health, fitness and longevity. From Dan's introduction to 40 Years with a Whistle: I've learned a lot over those decades and would like to share these lessons with you. I didn't want a book filled with "Xs" and "Os" or sets and reps. I wanted to share the lessons that apply to life and living. I begin with what are clearly my 10 best lessons of coaching. Each of these works well for the teacher, student, parent and neighbor too. Following the advice of the 10th lesson, I explore the stories of the people who shaped my career and the gems of advice they shared with me. I finish with my vision of coaching-basically looking at training from the big picture and the toolkit to allow one to succeed. The lessons are simple. The application is difficult. The rewards are worth everything. The lessons learned on the fields and in the gyms will lead to a successful life. Hop on board. "As I read through this book, over and over I found myself mentally saying, 'Yup' and 'Absolutely.' If you're a coach, an athletic administrator or the parent of a school-age athlete, you need to read this book. I know my coaching staff will be reading it." ~ Chris Long, Athletic Director, Juan Diego Catholic High School

Most diet and workout books are focused on the wrong things: They focus on WHAT instead of HOW. The leanest people focus on how, on their eating habits, not on fad diets. Diets that rely on willpower and discipline fail. The path to results is made up of eleven small, simple, step-by-step habits. Rotating through phases of metabolic, endurance, and strength workouts yields the best fat-loss results. 1.

Hillis, Josh

Training people in sport as a coach or in fitness as a personal trainer is certainly rewarding work. But there's a problem: What do we do next? There are countless books on diet and exercise, hundreds of machines, devices and gimmicks to train people, and new gadgets and gizmos are popping up with every passing day. Can You Go? answers this question: What do we need to do next? Appropriate assessment leads to an appropriate answer. When we find a mobility issue, let's focus on mobility work. The same is true for both body composition and strength-we focus on what we need to do, not what we want to do. For the performance athlete, sometimes assessment can be the short, brutal and harsh question, "Can you go?" Lessons from this frankness can be learned by both the coach and the trainer The deconditioned and the elite share the same basic human body. Our job is to enhance performance and quality of life with every training situation.
