    The blurb reads: 'Life lessons. Psychological techniques. Lifestyle design. If anyone ever tries to tell you that becoming a professional footballer is easy, they probably haven't been through the journey themselves.

    The blurb reads: 'Life lessons. Psychological techniques. Lifestyle design. If anyone ever tries to tell you that becoming a professional footballer is easy, they probably haven't been through the journey themselves. Richard Lee has, and now manages some of the country's most exciting young talent within his performance agency. The ideal Christmas present for any young player with dreams in the professional game, Rich shares his advice, expertise and knowledge with the highly proclaimed teenage author Adam Woodage, as they seek to unravel the mindset of those at the very top, and what you can do to match it.'

    Working with entrepreneur and former-Premier League goalkeeper Richard Lee, the book focuses heavily on science-based solutions to helping young people achieve their goals through the medium of sport. Whether it be teaching them about time management, dealing with pressure or adopting a 'kaizen' mindset, the book engages young people to improve their lives and careers through the all-loving vehicle of football.

  • Tony Elliott: A Modern Approach to Goalkeeping

His new paperback coaching resource, written and narrated by Adam Woodage, delves a little deeper into these discoveries and the unrivalled experience of one of goalkeeping's most respected coaches.

    ​There are few coaches in football who can boast a CV quite as broad and diverse as Tony's, having worked across five different formats of the game and developing a multitude of learning experiences and findings from this. His new paperback coaching resource, written and narrated by Adam Woodage, delves a little deeper into these discoveries and the unrivalled experience of one of goalkeeping's most respected coaches.

    It covers a plethora of topics from the 'softer' side of coaching to understanding the holistic development of a goalkeeper and how to work accordingly in your environments. The book has had an incredible level of success early on, with an abundance of positive reviews and a captivated audience who are always searching for new ways to improve their coaching and understanding.

    We continue working with Tony to promote and push sales, whilst also assessing the opportunity to distribute the book through services such as Amazon.

  • The Anatomy of a Goalkeeper

    Working with more than 20 professional and international goalkeepers, goalkeeper coaches and industry experts, the 2016 project has been a resounding success throughout the world of goalkeeping, stimulating discussion, reflection and change across the industry.

    Working with more than 20 professional and international goalkeepers, goalkeeper coaches and industry experts, the 2016 project has been a resounding success throughout the world of goalkeeping, stimulating discussion, reflection and change across the industry.

    With names including the likes of England goalkeeper coach Tony Elliott, ex-BPL goalkeeper Richard Lee and The FA's National Talent ID manager Nick Levett, the main aim of the publication was simple: revolutionise the way in which goalkeeping was treated from grassroots, up. This was achieved through probing and insightful interviews, covering viewpoints and perspectives that had often previously been disregarded by many goalkeeper coaches when considering the development of their goalkeepers and the design of coaching practice to reflect that.

    It considers the importance of game-realistic scenarios for goalkeepers, a plethora of arguments in the realms of development and talent identification and some great perspective for goalkeeper coaches to consider about producing learning environments for their athletes.

    Beyond this, though, the whole project proved an invaluable opportunity for Adam to experience a network of incredible coaches and industry experts, only further fuelling his commitment and passion for an industry full of opinion, opportunities to improve great groups of individuals and constantly learn, adapt and contribute to new information, research and academic insight.

    As of December 2016, the final books were sent to our distributors for sale, meaning the initial print run has virtually sold out: testament to the work of everyone involved, the insight within the book and the passion and diligence to drive it forward in spite of setbacks.

    Just as the football season gets underway and the summer break is well and truly over, the world is hit with FIFA. A yearly phenomenon from Electronic Arts, the game never fails to pull in the crowds with ground-breaking new graphics, life-like game simulation and ever present additions to debatably the biggest source of fun, enjoyment and yet agony for FIFA fans: Ultimate Team (FUT). This guide plans not only to exploit a wide array of different ways to make millions on FUT, but also provide you with in-depth analysis, never seen before tips and advice on just about every aspect of FIFA 15. Whilst this guides will certainly work for older versions of FIFA, the optimal experience will, of course, come from this year’s edition (FIFA 15) and will work best on XBOX/Play Station.
