Crush It!By Gary VaynerchukGarys book made me realize that I needed to develop
my own personal brand. I had always ocused on buildingthe brand name o my tness acility, Peak Perormance, but
spent very little time on developing my own personal brand.
In act, when it came to mysel, the only thing that I ocused
on was building my knowledge base by seeking out the
brightest minds in the industry and learning rom them and
then eectively applying that inormation in order to get the
best results with my clients.
About a year and a hal
ago, I started to shit my
ocus toward the personal
branding aspect o my career
and things are now escalating
at a very rapid pace. My one
word o caution or tness
proessionals is make surethat when developing your
personal brand, you also have
the knowledge and credibility
to back that brand or you will
be viewed as a Charlatan.

The 7 Habits of HighlyEffective Peopleby Stephen Covey
This book should denitely be a staple in any tness
proessionals library. I was ortunate enough to be raised
by a ather, who was an ex-NYC homicide detective
turned successul entrepreneur, so many o the things
that Stephen Covey covers in his book were taught to me
at an early age.
But, even thoughthat was the case, its
always great to learn
and hear someone elses
perspective. A ew o the
things that really resonated
with me were things like
being proactive (i.e.,
taking initiative), ocus onyour goals, set priorities
and always try to seek
out and cultivate win-
win relationships. Finally,
communication is a two-
way street so always make
sure that you listen to whatothers have to say.

This book was recommended to me by my business
partner and I really enjoyed it. It was denitely a paradigm
shit as the authors stressed that the most valuable resource
one has is energy and not time. They went on to say that
people can still manage their time well and still be stressed,
exhausted and unable to ocus.
I ound this to be a veryenlightening as I was always
someone who elt that time
management was so critical.
I still view time management
as important, but now I also
look at managing my energy
as equally important. I also
loved the act that the authorstalked about the importance
o balancing stress and rest,
which is something I always
believed in especially when it
came to training, but or some
reason, I struggled with it
outside o training. Now, Imworking on that aspect o my
lie as well.

Supertrainingby Dr. Mel Siff & Prof. Yuri Verkhoshansky
Supertraining is like an encyclopedia o sport science
inormation. Although its a dicult read rom cover to
cover, the amount o inormation presented in this book
is incredible. At times, it is very technical and requires a
second or third re-read o a paragraph, but I cannot express
to you how many times over the course o my career that I
reerred back to this book on any given topic.
I was also ortunate
enough to have been one o
the last groups o delegates
to attend Dr. Mel Sis
Supertraining Camp in his
home in Denver, CO beore
he passed away. Mysel and
our other coaches, includingJoel Jamieson, spent 4 days
sleeping on Dr. Sis basemen
foor. During those our days,
all we did was talk, train,
recover and talk some more
about all the various aspects
covered in the text. It was alearning experience that I shall
never orget!

This book is relatively new to my library, but I love
it, because it provides some o the latest scientic and
practical inormation in the eld o modern day strength
and conditioning. The list o contributors is extremely
impressive (some o the best sports scientists in the world)
and the range o topics is extremely extensive. Its a mustread or anyone in the eld o athletic development.
Like Supertraining,
it in another invaluable
reerence tool or the tness
proessional because o two
key components. First, it
integrates the latest researchon all aspects o strength
and conditioning. Secondly,
it provides the reader with
guidelines or writing and
eectively monitoring
strength training programs.
Do yoursel a avor and readthis book.

Athletic Development:The Art & Science
of Functional Sports
Conditioningby Vern Gambetta
This book is another
must read or coaches
or anyone seeking todevelop the complete
athlete. Vern oers great
insight into the science o
unctional training and he
presents the inormation in
a very clear and palatable
manner.
Another aspect o
this book that I really liked
was his emphasis on the
art o coaching, which is
oten overlooked in many
books. Its important to
understand all o the
science o training, but youalso need to know how to
eectively articulate it to
your clients and athletes.

I absolutely loved this
book. Technically, it doesnt
all into either category o
exercise science or business
development like all o the oth
books on my list, but I just had
to include it. I rst read it along time ago and I just reread
it a couple o years ago. The
book is about the power o
student-teacher relationships.
Millman does such a great job
at weaving athletics, spirituality
and lie experiences into thisreally valuable and entertaining
read.

Special StrengthTraining:A PracticalManual for Coachesby Verkhoshansky
I was lucky enough to
get a copy o this book rom
a riend and colleague, JoelJamieson. There arent many
books out there that are
written on this topic in such
detail. Not only does the
author present the theoretical
basis or special strength
training, but he goes on to
describe exactly how to applyit eectively and in an easy to
understand way. I you work
with athletes, you need to read
this manual.

Good Exercise Physiology Text
I have several Exercise Physiology Textbooks on my
shel, including Physiological Aspects o Sport Training and
Perormance (Jay Homan); Physiology o Sport & Exercise
(Wilmore & Costill); Exercise Physiology: Exercise, Nutrition and
Human Perormance by McArdle, Katch, and Katch, etc.
I think its really important or trainers to have an excellent
working knowledge o anatomy, physiology and basic
biomechanics in order to develop sae and eective training
programs.
