I've written a few books. This one is maybe my favorite because it's really not written by me but takes the best of what I've learned from others over a number of years of reading and interviews. Only $14.99 on amazon. Volume 2 coming in 2024.

The next rung on the ladder should not always be sought. Being assistant coach doesn't mean you have to be head coach. A high school head coach doesn't have to become a college coach to be successful. Find your fit and grow where you are. If you're meant to move up you will.

When learning a mental skill (e.g., playbook), repetition is less important than struggle. Struggle forces change through effort and our learning sticks. Repetition through memorization of the "correct" information is less effective for long term recall (Epstein, 2019).
