What to expect

“… (the) lessons, words, vision, and inspirational stories not only impacted me in the NFL, but as a man. I am grateful for his significance in my life… we either ‘move’ or we ‘die.’”—Russell Wilson, NFL Quarterback

Chris Carlisle, former Super Bowl Champion Performance Coach, has written a book that blazes a clear path from where you presently are to where you expect to be.

There are two kinds of people in the world: those who are stuck and those who are moving towards accomplishing their grandest dreams. Which one are you?

On one hand, there are people who became stuck behind life’s barriers and eventually stagnated because they had no idea how to move on. Without a plan to move forward, these people will eventually face their professional death. On the other hand, there are people who were confronted with similar issues but had the tools to find a way to continue moving towards their dreams and goals. They kept on moving down the line, and so can you.

Chris’s ideas come from his own experience and work shaping the ideals of the highly motivated. From dealing with his own hardships to helping others battle through intense competitions, Carlisle has found a way to break through barriers.

This book helps paint the picture that great things are being done by common people. Why not you? Have you been told you weren’t good enough? Have you been pigeonholed in a job? Are you watching people live the life you know was meant for you?

Step by step, Move or Die will put in motion a simple plan to move forward in your life, including:

Understanding who you are and where you want to be

Recognizing that the “grind” is not a bad thing, but essential to being successful

Realizing the power in being a non-linear thinker

And much more!

Everything that you have always hoped you could be is not just a pipe dream—it can be a reality. You just have to keep moving.

Critics Review

Carlisle has been a pioneer in the field of sports performance and was integral to some of the most successful programs in the history of the sport.”

    Bruce Feldman, ESPN, FOX Sports Writer, analyst, New York Times bestselling author
