Now What?
In Intervention, Dan described how he evaluates adults and suggests course corrections to improve the basics.
He followed that with Can You Go?, where he addressed assessments trainers and coaches might use with their clients and athletes.
Now, in Now What? Dan loops back around to tell us what to do next. You've brought your clients up to the minimum standards. You've done your assessments. Now what?
That's the question Dan answers in this book, the third installment of this series.
Dan John's Now What? will help you determine the next steps in moving toward the goals of your clients and athletes.
"In Now What? Dan presents basic tools and training principles from his experiences as an athlete and coach, and applies them with experienced hands and through empathetic eyes toward the personal growth of his readers. It's a reasonable approach to help us all reach our goals, bringing greater satisfaction while working through the process." ~ Chip Morton

Audiobook. A little repetitive, but fun to listen to, as with all Dan John books read by Dan John. This one is focused on coaching methods.
I like listening to experienced strength coaches. They tend to know what works. Do you want to get stronger? If you’re an athlete, you should. If you’re an ordinary person, you should. Getting stronger means putting in the work. And it’s a lot of very hard work.
Dan John is an enemy of the complicated. He has a refreshing voice when everyone else seems to be trying to sell you something you don’t need.

I really enjoyed this book. There are a lot of great insights here. For example, if your goal in life is elite sports (or elite anything really), shark habit everything else in life and pirate map your way to your goal (read the book to understand those two concepts). There’s more (and it’s all gold) but that insight alone was worth it. I’m really not sure why this book isn’t more popular...

Dan John rocks!!
I have read and reread all of Dan John's books. I also subscribed to his podcast on Spotify. He continuely boils things down and makes them simple for me. He makes lifting kettlebells fun. I recommend his work to everyone I come in contact with fitness-wise.

A pirate map
Keep a highlighter ready and you will have principles, shark habits and pirate maps for being a slave to good habits.
