"Geoff Miller, the Phillies mental skills coach, has impressed me with his knowledge of how a player can identify and manage his "mind" game. This part of the game has been overlooked in favor of the routine physical activities. Today, as the game is hiring coaches like Geoff, valuable information is becoming available to help players improve which leads to more wins. Intangibles has become a favorite of mine. If you are an aspiring ball player or a major league player, I highly recommend this book." -- Mike Schmidt, Philadelphia Phillies, Inducted to the Hall of Fame in 1995

The Rugby Almanack is the world's longest-running rugby book of record. It was first published in 1935 to cover the previous season's first-class rugby in New Zealand. Since then it has been published uninterrupted (apart from two combined issues during World War II). The 2017 Rugby Almanack records another huge year.
