I’ve been a bit quiet on the “selling” side of things, because most of my energy lately has gone into writing. Off the court.

Over the last months I’ve been authoring a series of new, short books for players and coaches. Not about new plays or sexy drills, but about the real stuff

I see ruin or rescue careers:

• Daily habits that either build stability or chaos at home
• How players handle stress, pressure and expectation
• How coaches talk to players so things actually land, not just sound good in the huddle

A lot of it comes from three angles I don’t show on social media very often:

• Years as an administrator and advisor behind the scenes
• Scouting work in the NBA and across high-level European clubs
• Sitting in gyms watching how “off-court life” leaks into every decision a player makes

Here’s the Black Friday part.

As a small thank-you, I’m sharing a free “Off-Court Wins” mini-pack through WeTransfer: a short PDF + a reflection worksheet built from the same ideas that sit behind our ProLab work in Amsterdam.

Inside the wetransfer link you’ll find:

• A simple check-in tool players can use weekly to track their focus, energy and consistency
• A 5-question audit for coaches on language, cueing and feedback (are you actually helping, or overloading?)
• One page on stress and arousal that turns “I’m nervous” into “I’m ready” instead of a meltdown before tip-off

Nothing fluffy. Just things I’ve seen work for pros and serious amateurs when they commit to the boring basics: self-awareness, standards, and how they use their attention every day.

This give-away is:

• Only for this list
• Free
• Available for a very short window

If you’d like the mini-pack, simply hit reply with the words:

“Off-court wins”

That’s it. I’ll make sure you get access.

You’ll also get a first look at the new off-court titles when they drop and see how they connect to the ProLab project: player-led film, decision-making under pressure, and building habits that hold up when the lights are on.

Thank you for reading, training, and thinking with me.
