Do not miss this opportunity
to be part of our brand new book –
and your chance to share real experience
that shapes leadership, business and life.
Have you ever felt that your sporting career taught you lessons that no classroom ever could?
Have you gone on to build a second career - in business, leadership, coaching, media, education, community or beyond - shaped by what you learned on the pitch, track, court or field?
Have moments from your sporting life influenced how you lead, decide, perform or recover - without ever being written down?
Now is your opportunity to share that experience in print.
Your victories...
immortalised in print.
A Sporting Chance brings together twelve former professional athletes and sportspeople, each sharing how the mindset, discipline and identity forged through sports continues to influence who they have become next.
This book is built around one simple truth:
the values forged through sport don’t end when the game does - they evolve.
The book brings together twelve individuals shaped by sporting careers, each sharing how the habits, pressures, failures, victories and disciplines of sport transferred into their second career.
These are stories of growth, perspective and continuity - where competition gives way to contribution, and performance becomes purpose.
This is not a book about leaving sport behind.
It’s about carrying its lessons forward - into leadership, business, community and life - and showing how sport can be a powerful starting point for what comes after, not the finish line.
This new co-author book explores how some of the most valuable business lessons are formed... through experience.
These are not frameworks lifted from textbooks or motivational slogans.
They are lived moments that influenced how decisions were made, pressure was handled, teams were built, setbacks were navigated, and new careers were shaped.
Each chapter concludes with clear lessons, drawn directly from experience - practical, grounded insights that readers can reflect on and apply in their own lives and careers.
Be one of twelve co-authors sharing your story, your thinking, and your perspective.

Beyond the book
For many contributors, a book forms part of something larger. Where appropriate, we also support wider positioning as a person of influence - including personal branding, photography direction, pitch decks, presentation design and supporting social media assets. These additional services are optional and tailored, allowing contributors to build a cohesive presence around their book if they choose.
