Parenting doesn’t leave much time for reading. That’s why this book is built in short, 2–3 minute chapters. Because let’s get real, you’re most likely reading this in the bathroom, and yep, look there… little fingers are already poking under the door waiting for you to come back out.

Parenting From Out of Bounds is filled with humor, lessons learned from mistakes, and simple ways to hold on to the joy of parenting. Written for parents by parents, it’s a reminder that you’re not alone on this journey.

Coaching today is more demanding than ever—and more exciting. Unlocking Athletic Potential is a no-nonsense guide designed to help coaches, sports med teams, and performance professionals stay ahead of the curve in a constantly evolving athletic landscape.

Written by Dr. Chad Peters, a sports chiropractor and performance consultant, this book bridges the gap between high-performance science and real-world application. It covers everything from modern return-to-play strategies to movement optimization, mobility, and mindset—without overwhelming you with unnecessary theory.

Whether you're working with youth athletes or pros, this book is packed with practical insights that help you coach smarter, train better, and lead with confidence.

Inside, you'll learn:

How to apply performance science in real-life training environments

What actually works in athlete rehab and return-to-play

How to simplify biomechanics, movement, and recovery

How modern tools are changing the game

This isn’t about coaching harder—it’s about coaching smarter. If you're serious about helping athletes thrive, this book gives you the tools to make it happen.

Nearly a decade ago, my son began to show an interest in sports. He wanted to know the rules, the plays, and how the games really worked. As a dad, I saw an opportunity. I didn’t just want him to understand sports. I wanted him to fall in love with learning about them.

Even more than that, I wanted him to fall in love with reading.

So we started building this book series together.

Know Your Game: Softball is the first in a collection following the original mission. This kid-friendly, visually rich guide makes it easy to learn the game while secretly building reading confidence. It’s written for the kids who can’t sit still but can tell you the batting average of their favorite player. For the parents looking to turn car rides and bedtime into something meaningful. And for families who want to learn, cheer, and grow together.

Because when you give kids something they already love, reading doesn’t feel like a chore.
It feels like part of the game.

Unlocking Athletic Potential: Jackrabbit Edition
For my Jackrabbit family—teammates, friends, alumni, and the blue and yellow that still runs through everything I do.

This special edition of Unlocking Athletic Potential is dedicated to the South Dakota State community. Whether we shared the weight room, the locker room, or the walk across campus, this version is for you. The lessons inside are grounded in modern performance science, but the passion behind them started with a Jackrabbit jersey.

Inside, you’ll find a practical blueprint for building better athletes, based on years of experience working with high-level performers and real-world teams.

You’ll learn:

Why Warmup before training is outdated, and what to do instead.

How speed is developed neurologically, it's not simply muscle or cardio.

Why hypertrophy (muscle size) is often an Unconventional but perhaps more effective training tool for high school athletes.

How to structure training phases to match what’s working at the Olympic and professional level, without needing pro-level resources.

What role mindset, nutrition, sleep, and hydration actually play in unlocking potential.

How mobility, movement prep, and nervous system regulation affect injury risk and long-term performance.

A smarter approach to bridging the gap between rehab and return-to-play.

This book is for coaches, parents, athletes, and performance professionals who want to do things the right way—and get real results.

The Jackrabbit Edition is more than a customized cover. It’s a tribute. To the people, the grit, and the community that helped shape everything inside.

Let’s raise the bar. And let’s do it in blue and yellow.

A concepts-first handbook for coaches who want clarity, progress, and joy back in the game.

- There was a point where coaching soccer almost broke me.

I loved the game. I cared deeply about my teams.
But the stress, the pressure, and the reality of coaching my own children left me exhausted. Coaching was draining the joy out of something that was supposed to be a meaningful experience.

Out of necessity, I had to look at soccer differently.

I didn’t have more practice time than anyone else.
In fact, with four multi-sport athletes of my own and a team juggling overlapping seasons, we usually had less—often just once per week.

So instead of doing more, I started thinking differently about how kids learn the game, what actually matters in development, and what a coach’s real role should be.

What I found changed everything.

My teams understood the game more clearly.
Decision-making improved.
Progress accelerated.

And most importantly, I fell back in love with coaching.

This book is a collection of those ideas.

Coaching Youth Soccer Without Losing Your Mind
is not a drill book and it’s not me telling you how to coach. While the concepts inside will absolutely influence game-day decisions and X’s and O’s, this book is built to do something deeper: change the way you think about the sport itself.

It’s written for parent-coaches, assistants, volunteers, and even sideline parents—presented in a way that works for those with decades of experience as well as those who were “volun-told” into the role.
These ideas scale. High school, college, and professional coaches will recognize the principles immediately.

The real value of a nonfiction book isn’t the page count.
It’s the INVERSE - how quickly experience and clarity are distilled into ideas you can actually use.

This is a small, concise handbook.
Something you can read in a couple of hours.
Something you can return to whenever you need perspective.

I wanted to create a book that was easy to recommend to parents, coaches, and soccer fans alike because the ideas inside don’t just help teams play better.

They make the experience better.

For you.
For your athletes.
And for the people who live with you when the season gets hard.
