The Pocket Coach: Five-Pillar Field Reference

Nobody is coming. You are.

Written by a retired Green Beret 18-Delta combat medic with twenty-one years and twelve deployments, The Pocket Coach distills the five skills that keep a team alive into one carry-anywhere field reference for the man who refuses to be helpless.

Five pillars, one book. Tactical Medicine: stop the bleed, manage an airway, and act in the minutes that decide whether someone lives. Survival: think clearly and stay alive when the plan falls apart, in the city, the backcountry, or the cold. Driving: control a vehicle under stress, brake at the limit, and drive out of danger. Strength: build the functional, durable strength real life demands. Protection: situational awareness, sound decisions, and the fundamentals of defending the people who count on you.

This is not theory. It is the standard, written plainly, with drills you can run this week. Because when the crisis hits, you do not rise to the emergency. You fall to your training.

Keep it in your glovebox, your range bag, and your kit. Train before you need it.
