The Kilted Coaches


Book Description

"Who needs a gym when you have Scotland? We all have goals, ambitions and dreams, but How do you overcome the obstacles you find in the way? How do you kick your negativity to the kerb? How do you become who you want to be? BY STICKING TO THE DAMN PLAN. With hundreds of videos, thousands of followers and millions of views, The Kilted Coaches, Stephen Clarke and Rab Shields, are no strangers to living their lives in high definition. But now they reveal how to become HD in every aspect of your life: bigger, louder, more colourful than ever, and unmistakeably you. In a characteristically Scottish blend of advice and banter, The Kilted Coaches channel their years of experience as life coaches and weight loss experts into bite-sized nuggets of advice designed to build confidence, positivity and ultimately that elusive future self. Always down to earth (sometimes very literally), they demonstrate that whoever you are, wherever you are, you can win each day. In fact, we're all just folk with our own lives and commitments, and every step towards health and happiness is a success. So, stick to the plan and win your life - even if you don't have a kilt (but it helps)"--Publisher's description.
