Coaching Life

Giving your best so others can be theirs!

Since this past May, I have been working on writing a follow-up to my first book, Building Champions. My goal was to release this new book by the end of the year and I am happy to say that it is now published and available to purchase on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle ebook. I think this new book can be a helpful tool for teams, athletes, coaches, or any leader or person in general who desires to better themselves but needs a little nudge.

Why am I writing books? What is my goal? I will tell you that my purpose in this endeavor is not to build a second career out of it. I have chosen to self-publish my books so as to minimize overhead costs and to afford myself the freedom to give you the material exactly as I wish it to be given. For this reason, I know they will not be perfect. The books I write have a different feel to them than others you may read. I am not only okay with that, but I am also intentional about it.

How can I reach people with a book who may not otherwise have any desire to read a book? For me, the answer lies in writing a book that reads and feels more like you and me sitting down and chatting over coffee. I'm a simple-minded person. I like simplicity. So I am writing books that are simple to read. I am aiming to take simple concepts that aren't always easy to put into practice but hopefully providing straightforward and uncomplicated approaches to things that could change lives.

I view writing as another means of coaching as well as continual personal learning. I learn best when I am teaching, and I love what writing demands from me. As I am learning, I feel a responsibility to share my experiences with others in the world.

Some of the things you read from me may be helpful to you and other things, maybe not as much. That's okay. My prayer is that together we will be able to challenge the common to be uncommon, the mediocre to be excellent, and the indifferent to be passionate. If you read something from my book that encourages you and then you in-turn pass that along to someone else, that is so awesome to me! That is success! That is COACHING! And that is why I write.

If you would like to have a personalized copy of the book, I am more than happy to provide that for you. Feel free to reach out to me at cstewart1993@gmail.com or you can connect with me on Twitter or Facebook.

I hope your new year will be filled with joy and accomplishment! God bless you, friends.
