Your next book club read!
Good morning. We love a good story.
And that's why we created CG Sports Publishing. (If you've never heard our story, you can read it here.)
Earlier this month, we celebrated the release of Coach Dudley Duncan's The Art of Swimming and the Game of Racing. Part memoir, part coaching guide, Duncan's book quickly became a bestseller! You can find reviews and purchase your own copy here.
But that's not all!
TOMORROW, we are excited to publish Matt Moseley's Soul is Waterproof! Moseley's book is more than just a book about swimming; it is proof that people can't live where fish can't swim. Don't sleep on purchasing your copy!
Know someone with a story to share? We would love to hear from you!
Happy reading, folks!

For Massialas, this was a special win. He explained on Instagram, "Not only is it the location of some of my first international fencing experience (fencing camps when I was 10), but it is my grandmother’s hometown, the city where my grandparents met. Although Ahma and Ahgong never got the opportunity to watch me fence live, I like to think of them every time I compete here."

Why a pro athlete needs a personal branded website
As a pro athlete, having your own personal branded website can be a game-changer for your career. Let me explain why:
Control Your Brand: Your personal brand is a crucial aspect of your identity as an athlete. With a personal branded website, you have complete control over how you present yourself to the world. You can design the website to reflect your unique style, values, and achievements.
Showcase Your Accomplishments: Your website becomes your virtual trophy case, where you can proudly display your career accomplishments and milestones. You can showcase your achievements, awards, records, and statistics in a comprehensive and organized manner.
Connect Directly with Fans: Your fans are your biggest supporters and having a personal branded website provides a direct channel to engage with them. Through your website, you can share exclusive content, behind-the-scenes footage, and personal insights that make your fans feel more connected to you.
Attract Sponsorship Opportunities: Sponsors play a crucial role in the success of many athletes, and a personal branded website can significantly enhance your appeal to potential sponsors. It showcases your professionalism, marketability, and dedication to your sport.
Diversify Your Revenue Streams: Your personal branded website can also serve as a platform for additional revenue streams. You can sell merchandise, offer exclusive content or experiences, or even collaborate with brands on limited edition products.
In conclusion, a personal branded website empowers you to take control of your brand, showcase your accomplishments, connect directly with fans, attract sponsorship opportunities, and diversify your revenue streams. It becomes a powerful tool to elevate your presence in the sports industry and leave a lasting impression on your audience. Don't miss out on the opportunity to leverage the digital landscape to build a stronger and more successful career.
