Welcome to Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School, in a working-class corner of the Bronx, where a driven coach inspires his teams to win games and championships. Head coach Marc Skelton tells the thrilling story of an entire season, as the Panthers seek to improve on an early exit from the playoffs the year before. But this is a story which extends far beyond the basketball court. It's a profile of a school that, against the odds, educates kids from the poorest district in the country and sends the majority of them to college; of an unusual coach who studies the game with acute intensity and demands as much of himself as he does of his players. At the very centre is a squad of young men who battle against difficulties in life every day, and who don't know how to quit. Pounding the Rock is exhilarating, heart-pounding sportswriting of the very highest calibre.

Soccer players may get all the glory, but behind every great player is a great coach. And behind every great coach today stands a cadre of mentors who dedicated decades to championing soccer's long climb from obscurity to become one of the major sports in America. It was an uphill battle, fought persistently and creatively to overcome a public perception of soccer as "foreign," "aloof," "snobby," or simply "odd." This is a story of individual and collective action, of coaches coming together to improve the sport and expand its reach. The adaptation and sharing of improved coaching methodologies has resulted in improved play on the field such that today American players (and coaches to some degree) are having an impact not just nationally, but internationally. Because of the determined and insistent efforts of the US soccer coaching community, soccer is now perceived as a rigorous, athletic pursuit. In addition to the stories found in this book are more than 50 QR codes that provide bonus information on the coaches and their careers. Relentless tells the landmark and previously untold stories of resolute coaches, their love of the game, and how they transformed the sport in the United States.

We are all coaches. Whether you are a teacher, parent, sibling, friend, manager, coworker, sports coach, or strength and conditioning coach, we all have someone we can positively influence and impact on a daily basis. But every coach also needs someone to look up to for advice and guidance as well. There is no better man to look up to than the greatest coach and mentor this world has ever seen and will ever know, Jesus Christ. Coach for Christ describes how Jesus lived throughout his ministry and discusses important principles that he taught along the way so we can continually attempt to live as he died. This book and guide describes how Jesus coached through a “heaven” mindset and how we can incorporate this concept into our lives so we may coach and positively influence people as he did. As men and women of Jesus Christ, we always want to draw closer to him. By understanding how Jesus lived and walked throughout his ministry, we are better able to be like him, which will further open our hearts to lead and coach for him every day.
