Written by international experts and practitioners in the field and with a particular emphasis on the development of children and youth, the book provides essential guidance of how science translates into practice for coaches and those working in youth grassroots soccer.

The formation of a remarkable and innovative West Coast art scene in San Francisco, CA between 1930 and 1960. San Francisco: The Golden Age details the extraordinary development of the Bay Area art scene between 1930 to 1960. During that time, a great museum director, an enlightened patron, and a brilliant art school came together to create an environment that nurtured a host of innovative artists. The 1940s and 1950s saw the emergence of a startling number of distinctive artists in the Bay Area including Clyfford Still, Claire Falkenstein, Jay DeFeo, Richard Diebenkorn, and Ruth Asawa. Working far from the art world power bases in Europe and New York, these artists developed styles of art-making that are only now being fully recognized but helped put San Francisco on the map as an artist destination.

The philosopher's stone is an alchemical substance that's able to turn base metal into gold. It was exactly what I was looking for as I went on a journey to transform my life into something precious. By 2018, I'd created everything I'd set out to achieve. I was married to an amazing woman, I had a multi-million-dollar business, I was in great health, and had amazing friends. Still, I couldn't shake the feeling something was missing.I was already schooled on the idea that fixing myself wasn't needed. I understood how to connect to my super-conscious and recode any limitations, yet my life felt empty, and I didn't know why. I wasn't unhappy, so to speak. I was just¿numb. I felt like I was going through the motions of life instead of really living it. By day, I ran a successful digital marketing agency and education business from my home office on the Gold Coast in Australia. In the evenings, I would play tennis and have friends over for barbecue and drinks multiple times a week.
