Coaching Like a Champion
Coaching Like a Champion: Eight Essential Building Blocks for Taking Any Sports Program to the Next Level is the ideal book for you if you are a coach or a trainer. The author gives a step-by-step guide on coaching like a pro and getting your players to reach their targets swiftly. In his book, Steve Miller gives direction, advises coaches, and uses real-life situations to expound on various topics. The author uses a warm and modest tone when talking about coaching. One can feel the enthusiasm Steve Miller has through his writing, and that he has vast knowledge on this subject.
In his book, Steve Miller wrote eight chapters, each focusing on elements that center on being the perfect coach. He discusses critical topics such as: communication, humility, accountability, mental toughness, passion, integrity, overcoming adversity, and never settling. One of the most vital subjects in the book is on communication, Steve Miller writes in-depth on how communication can either build or destroy a team. How coaches and players express themselves or exchange ideas is critical. The conversations in the locker room, pitch, or outside can determine the strength of a team. I found the author to be insightful, refreshing, and objective. The topic of communication is helpful not only to coaches but also to players.
Each of the chapters in the book has something that will enlighten the reader. How the author talks about experiences in the field and what he has observed over the years tell one that a lot of coaches need to have to be good in their craft. The topic of Mental Toughness was another favorite. While reading this chapter, I realized that it takes more than just physical strength to be a rated, first-rate player. The author has words of wisdom for coaches and gently lays down ways a coach can improve the player’s mental toughness while in practice. The author advises that coaches have a practical game plan. He also writes that by boosting players’ mental toughness, they can better their confidence, focus, composure, and performance.
By the end of the reading, the reader is well-versed in coaching and the crucial skills one needs to have as a coach. I loved most about the author’s ability to relate to what he was discussing. You do not need to be a coach to enjoy this book.
Coaching Like a Champion: Eight Essential Building Blocks for Taking Any Sports Program to the Next Level can help you advance your expertise in whatever field you are in. Self-Help and sports enthusiasts will equally find this book beneficial.

Scribblings of My Soul
Scribblings of my Soul is a poetry collection by Preethi Saravankumar that consists of nine different themes. Each theme comes from a word in the sentence:
“SMILE with all your HEART gathering STRENGTH from LIFE, shedding any lingering PAIN to learn the TRUTH of LOVE and HOPE, walking towards the LIGHT.”
The entire book follows the number nine, with nine themes, nine poems, nine artworks, and nine different emotions. “Nine represents completion but not the end. It represents the end of one cycle as well as the transition”, the poet explains her choice of the number nine in the foreword.
The book is beautifully arranged with the right mix of text and monotone artwork by Juliana Duclos. It’s not just a compilation of beautiful, inspiring, and sincere poetry but also a total treat to the eye. The selection of the nine themes is different yet interlinked by a common thread, as depicted in the sentence above. There are more subtle connections within the poems as well. The poet establishes unique structures within her poetry, which one can find repeated across the book. For instance, the repetitive structure found in the poem “Mothers and Sons”
Let him walk his own path……
Let him breathe as much he’d like..….
Let him make his own decisions…..
It is again found in “In the End, it was All a Lie”
When you said, “I love you”…..
When you said, “ I miss you”…..
When you said,” I am there for you”…..
When you said, “My life is for you”…..
This familiarity of structure is almost comforting and many such similar but unique structures give this collection of poems a common link yet allow it to be diverse. The poems have logic leading to clever insight, simple imagery of nature, and an expression of human connection and emotion.
Scribblings of my Soul is a profound collection of poetry that will speak to people at all stages of their life. These poems touch on philosophy and emotions, the themes of nature and self-love all combine to create a unique reading experience.

Self-Love Toolbox
After the last two years, we are all more than ready for a fresh start. The new year is the best time to reexamine our priorities and practice self-love. Unfortunately, while many make resolutions, few seem to keep them as the new year kicks off. It could be that accountability, or the lack thereof, is the reason many of us fail at keeping those bold New Year’s Day proclamations. Truly changing the way we look at ourselves and thoroughly examining our own goals takes time but is more than worth the time and effort it takes to do the work.
Self-Love Toolbox – Powerful Steps to Help Retool Your Life Starting Today! is a self-help book written by Wanda W. Garcia. Readers looking for a very formal, preachy text that takes lots of patience to pour through will not find it here. Instead, Garcia goes to great lengths to give readers a down-to-earth, easy-to-follow instruction manual for making much-needed changes in their lives. She makes no promises for miracles and her honesty is refreshing. In fact, much of the book reads like a conversation with a good friend.
Garcia writes in a conversational tone and low-pressure kind of way. This nine-step program is presented in a format that is easy to follow and puts all of the work and self-examination in the reader’s hands–accountability is the name of the game. In no uncertain terms, Garcia tells readers from the beginning that journaling is a requirement for the success of her program. She gives readers lots of space to respond to prompts and self-reflect within the book’s pages.
Unlike other self-help books that focus on the author’s story and personal experiences, this one instead puts the reader’s needs at the forefront. The Self-Love Toolbox is as much a workbook as it is expository text. Readers will not be disappointed in Garcia’s approach. Virtually every page is dedicated to self-analysis, whether it’s examining attributes and assets or making SMART goals. Garcia discusses the barriers we encounter and spends a significant amount of time helping readers dig deep into finding ways to overcome the obstacles that stand in the form of truly loving ourselves.
Self-Love Toolbox – Powerful Steps to Help Retool Your Life Starting Today! will appeal to readers looking for a new approach to life changes and self-improvement.
