I'll probably ignore it but you might get lucky.

Review:
Rather than just relentessly dumping on the industry, I want to do a product review. Specifically I want to look at The Game Day Coaching manual by powerlifting coach Matt Gary. Game day coaching refers to the skill and art of handling lifters on the day of their powerlifting competition to put them in a place to succeed and reach their goals. And Matt is a master of it.
In this utterly thorough, leave no stone unturned, book, Matt details literally everything you could ever want to know about the topic. From psychology to attempt selection to warmups to scouting your competition to working with different types of athletes.
If it's important, it's in there. He provides endless case studies of exactly what he did with attempt selection in different situations as well which helps bring the ideas into real world focus.0
For anyone who handles powerlifters at a meet, whether experienced or new to the sport, I cannot too highly recommend this book. Even if you've already honed your craft it might give you a new idea or situation you haven't considered or experienced. For lifters who handle themselves, it might also help you optimize how you do things. For lifters who are handled it might have less overall use but you and your coach might look at it to see if it gives you new things to try.
tl;dr: Matt has done the sport of powerlifting an incredible service by writing this book, based on his decades of experience. People who know me know I don't like anything so if I say something good about something, that is meaningful.
The Game Day Coaching manual is available at Matt's Website for $65 and is worth every penny.
