He’s also consulted for companies and military special forces group around the world and authored dozens of books on the subject of coaching like The Process: The Methodology, Philosophy & Principles of Coaching Winning Teams, Game Changer: The Art of Sports Science, and 59 Lessons: Working with the World's Greatest Coaches, Athletes, & Special Forces.
