TRACK 1 - E-BOOKS
Book One, The Starting XI, the team behind the life, introduces the eleven essential areas of life that together form a balanced and resilient team. Using the familiar language of football, readers discover how purpose, relationships, wellbeing, learning, emotional intelligence, finances and other key life domains work together to influence long-term success.
Rather than treating these areas as isolated topics, the book demonstrates how every player contributes to the whole team's performance. Through practical coaching, memorable football illustrations and reflective questions, readers are encouraged to evaluate their own Starting XI and identify strengths as well as areas requiring attention.
Every successful team studies its opponents before stepping onto the pitch. Book Two, Meet the Opposition, a scouting report for the game of life, introduces the Opposition XI, revealing the attitudes, habits and patterns that quietly undermine progress. Players such as Deception, Fear, Burnout, Distraction and Scarcity become memorable football characters, helping readers recognise how these opponents influence everyday decisions long before the final whistle.
Rather than presenting abstract concepts, the book adopts the format of a professional scouting report, allowing readers to understand how each opponent plays, the danger they pose and the subtle ways they combine to create pressure. The Opposition Bench reminds readers that some challenges do not begin the match but emerge later when circumstances change.
Understanding both your own team and the opposition naturally leads to the next question: How do we win? Book Three, Winning Ways, explores the importance of preparation, planning and intelligent decision-making before the game begins.
Drawing on the work of coaches, analysts and players, readers learn that success is rarely accidental but grows from thoughtful strategy, clear communication and purposeful teamwork. Tactical planning, adapting to different opponents and making wise adjustments become central themes as the reader moves from simply recognising challenges to developing effective responses.
The scoreboard tells us what happened, but it never tells the whole story. Book Four. Beyond the Scoreline introduces the reader to the mindset of the analyst, encouraging a deeper examination of performance beyond wins, losses and statistics alone. Rather than judging success purely by outcomes, readers learn to ask better questions about decisions, preparation, teamwork and execution.
By moving beyond surface-level results, readers develop habits of thoughtful evaluation that strengthen future performance. The game ultimately teaches that growth belongs to those who are willing to study the game honestly, learn from every experience and continually refine both their understanding and their approach.
Every life has a goalkeeper—something trusted to provide security, direction, meaning and hope.
In Who’s in Goal?, the final volume of The Keeper Trilogy, Solomon’s ancient goalkeeper trials are revisited with fresh eyes. Wisdom, pleasure, work, achievement, money, people, and the self are each placed between the posts to see what they can really do.
Every candidate has genuine ability. Each can read part of the game, provide valuable support and make important saves. But can any of them carry the full weight of the position?
The trials are about to begin. The shirt is already occupied. Will your goalkeeper survive the examination?
Every life has a number 1. Who is wearing your shirt?
