About the author

Hi there. I’m Diana Weynand, or Coach D. If you read my book, you know by now that I love football and I love to “carpe vita” – seize life – by following a clear set of principles and taking action on them. It’s my mission to empower people to mastermind their lives by doing the same thing using the LIPSTICK FOOTBALL Method.

I love writing, coaching, speaking and motivating groups—large and small, young and not as young. I'm a problem solver and I love the challenge of “cracking a marble” to break down a complex challenge, goal or project into actionable steps.

However challenging and messy it may be at times; love your life. As Helen Keller said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all."

I choose adventure.
