THE FIELD NOTES
A COACH'S PLAYBOOK

Unknown Distances

​

A physician who became the patient in his final year of medical school, when he suffered a spinal cord injury, November 2021. He spent the years rebuilding, after graduating in May 2022. This isn't a memoir, it's a coach's playbook, and these are the field notes behind it: the systems, the tools, the honest timeline. It's not about how to fight, it's about how to win for yourself.

A few emails a month — the real timeline, the tools I built, and the occasional receipt. No motivational posters. Unsubscribe anytime.

Why the small wins — the relative wins nobody else would clock — are the only ones that count when the next one is some unknown distance ahead.
