Coach Isaac is a sports coach, coaching since 2018. He has coached kids, teens and adults, ages 5 to 50, and he teaches the Method mostly to the girls he coaches.
He has ADHD. In school he talked nonstop, got kicked out of almost every class and almost never did his homework. His grades were fine anyway, because he found a method for passing tests. Later, out of learning to live with his limits, he built a bigger method, for life. That's the Method: decide what you want, act in that direction, and believe you'll get there.
At 38 he tore his Achilles in a league game. When he asked the doctor in the ER if people come back from this, the answer was, more or less, "in principle." He did the rehab the Kaizen way, a little more every day. He started with about a third of a mile, half walking, and built up to almost six miles. Nine months later he played in the starting lineup, in the same place where he got hurt. That road became The Athlete's Comeback Journal.
His grandfather, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Coach John Wooden, Coach Phil Jackson, Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins, among others.
He's not a psychologist. The journals and the book were written and designed with AI tools, under his direction, from his own material.

At thirteen she was the weakest player on the floor, one goal a game on a good day. She wrote down a goal, made an action list and did it, and her coach didn't let her skip a day. By fifteen she was the best player on her team, and then the national team called. Today she runs her own version of the Method.
She was sixteen, with ADHD and a schedule that was too much for her. She took the time-management part of the Method, the day, the week and the month on one page, and rebuilt it to fit the way her head works. She runs it herself.
At sixteen she decided to take charge of her own body. She made the decision, did something about it every day, and didn't quit on the weeks when nothing moved. She got where she wanted to be, and she stayed there.
At fourteen she wasn't getting minutes and wanted to quit. Coach Isaac sat her down and gave her the talk. She stayed, worked her list, and today she plays on the women's team.
