As head coach for Baltimore's hockey team, The Banners, Sonny LeBlanc has seen it all. Guts and glory. Hard-hitting and hard-headed players. A rise to fame and a plummet to failure. Scarred, determined, and tough-as-nails, he's never met a challenge he couldn't conquer—until he meets Monica Jennings. A single mother who's survived an abusive marriage, Monica Jennings is finally learning to live—little by little. That doesn't mean she's learned to trust and it certainly doesn't mean she's willing to open her heart to anyone but her daughter and her sister. And then she meets Sonny LeBlanc, the scarred coach of The Baltimore Banners. There's something about him that makes her want to take a chance—or run in the other direction and hide. Can Sonny teach the cautious woman how to embrace love and life, or will he lose it all by calling the riskiest play of his career?

The game of hockey has drastically changed over the past two decades and not for the better. Gone are the days of goal scorers, stick handlers, tough guys and passers. When they left so did the excitement and the unexpected. Now it is a game played by drones in exactly the same fashion by every team. Former hockey reporter Michael Munro examines the impact manufactured hockey players are having on the National Hockey League and its feeder systems. In this Western based critique Munro explains how the NHL ended up eliminating goal scorers and entertainers with a series of rule changes and management decisions. And it is a discussion of how Canada lost its role as the dominant hockey nation and started developing only supporting players and not lead actors. An honest and sometimes disturbing 250 page essay that is a must read for anyone who loves hockey and wants to see it become a global success.

Lifestyles have changed dramatically over the past quarter century. Along with these changes come exciting opportunities, including new career paths in the professional domain of health and wellness coaching. Centered on an evidence-based process for guiding change, Lifestyle Wellness Coaching, Third Edition With Web Resource, offers a systematic approach to helping clients achieve enduring changes in their personal health and wellness behaviors through a supportive and forward-moving coaching relationship. Lifestyle Wellness Coaching has been thoroughly revised and updated to keep pace with the rapidly evolving field of wellness coaching. It is complemented by discussions, case studies, reflective opportunities, and practical aids and engages readers through multiple approaches to learning: The reader is encouraged to gauge comprehension and application of the content by reflecting on personal experiences within the context of coaching. Sample dialogues offer real-world examples of coaching situations and strategies. The International Coach Federation’s 11 core competencies are thoroughly examined to prepare readers for certification in the profession of coaching. A new web resource houses easy-to-use forms, plans, and assessments that professionals can use immediately with clients. Lifestyle Wellness Coaching examines real coaching conversations to assess key considerations, such as the types of questions to ask, how to provide feedback effectively, and how to facilitate action planning. The text presents communication strategies to motivate, guide, inform, and support clients’ processes toward personal change with a holistic approach. It addresses boundaries of care and advice appropriate to coaching relationships. Other issues explored include developing a trusting relationship, creating goals that are aligned with coaching processes, unblocking clients’ energy and discovering resources for change, and generating forward movement through the skillful use of the International Coach Federation’s 11 core competencies. Lifestyle Wellness Coaching introduces readers to models that clearly identify clients’ progress through the stages of change. First, the text explores the popular transtheoretical model (TTM) of health-related behavior change and its delineation of six stages of clients’ readiness to change. The discussion of TTM includes strategies appropriate to clients in various stages of readiness to change. The text also presents the learning-through-change model (LCM), revealing the deep layers beneath each phase of client movement toward change. Readers are offered a map for coaching clients toward goal achievement. The authors’ unique flow model of coaching illustrates how professional coaches can help clients navigate the sometimes turbulent events of a person’s life in order to change habitual patterns of behavior. The companion web resource offers a complete kit of assessment tools to help establish a strong framework for successful coaching. A welcome packet, coaching readiness index, introductory session form, and between-sessions questionnaire benefit both the professional and client in laying the groundwork. Other supplemental resources, such as a social and emotional intelligence assessment and a goal setting form, support the journey. Lifestyle Wellness Coaching, Third Edition, is the definitive resource for those seeking to embrace wellness coaching and propel clients to healthy, effective change.

PERSONAL TRAINERS are not just fitness professionals; they could be the saviours of the global health-care system-life changers. As pioneers in this budding field in the health and wellness industry, trainers face misinformation and myths about the fitness industry. What's more, due to negative portrayal in the media, the common perception of personal trainers is less than stellar. This situation, coupled with the relative lack of regulation, means that there are many legal issues that you must be aware of in order to stay safe in your day-today practice. As is the case for any practitioner of a health-related profession, you must be aware of the legal ramifications of your decisions and advice. But the legal education provided to personal trainers is virtually nonexistent. In this guidebook, author Gary Pitts, a master strength coach and Canada's premier fitness lawyer, provides the knowledge you need for your practice. Following the principles of MISS (make it simple, stupid), Gary has compiled information on the entire spectrum of fitness-specific legal issues, most of which are largely unknown or misunderstood by even the most seasoned veterans in the personal training industry. If you're serious about your personal training career, explores these important issues and start building your protective legal strategies now.
