I'm continuing to develop my own coaching, mentoring, and mental skills work, melting it down into one offering. I'm working in the background with some pro athletes and sports now purely in a mental skills and mentoring capacity which, in of itself, is a form of coaching. Coaching is such a dynamic realm and I guess is my life's passion. The wings are spreading and we are now coaching in the US, Europe, Asia and Australia, such is the shrinking nature of the world and the growing importance of mental and physical wellbeing, they are one, not two. The writing has been coming thick and fast, to the point where a book is now not a matter of if, but when. I'll keep you posted and I appreciate the feedback and encouragement, it's coming. With that in mind, here is the tip of iceberg on this months writing: [Storm ChasersStop trying to calm the storm, calm yourself and the storm will pass.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/29/7c/297c1070-a8ae-4eab-8dfa-a7d21fe5b3af/content/images/size/w256h256/2022/08/Grant-Giles-Pub-Icon-1.png)Grant GilesGrant Giles![](https://static.ghost.org/v4.0.0/images/publication-cover.jpg)](https://www.grantgiles.com.au/storm-chasers/) [Turning PointProbably the most important aspect of physical training from what I have witnessed with both professional and amateur athletes is their ability to hold back the turning point.

I don’t schedule drop off tapers either. Personally, I dose the volume, the intensity and position the sessions so there is optimal absorption.
