Help isn't coming. You are. Your kid goes down on the field. A wreck unfolds on the highway in front of you. The power's out and it's not coming back tonight. In that moment, your family doesn't need you to be perfect — they need you to know what to do. Most men were never taught. That stops here. The Pocket Coach is the five skills a man is expected to handle when there's no one else to call — written to live in a cargo pocket, a glovebox, or an IFAK. Plain English. No jargon. No condescension. So the next time it counts, you're the one who steps up instead of freezing. The five things every man should be able to do 1 · Tactical Medicine — stop the bleed, manage the airway, keep someone alive until help arrives. To current TCCC and American Heart Association standards. 2 · Survival — urban, rural, and austere fundamentals for when the plan falls apart. 3 · Driving — civilian emergency handling and evasive vehicle dynamics most men are never taught. 4 · Strength — programmed lifts and mobility built for real 30-minute windows, not a two-hour gym session. 5 · Protection — situational awareness and the carry math that keeps your family safe. Written by a man who did the job By Patch (Jeffrey Adams) — retired Special Forces Team Sergeant and 18D Special Forces Combat Medic. The same doctrine that works downrange, translated into plain English for the man who protects his own. Patch spent three years as the Colorado Outreach Mentor for the PTSD Foundation, working to stop veteran suicide. This isn't theory from a keyboard — it's the real thing, made carryable. What you get A 180-page, pocket-sized (5.06" × 7.81") perfect-bound field manual — plus three free iPhone apps via QR codes on the back cover: Groundwork, Global Drills, and SOF Tactical Medicine.
