Who's Behind the Coach22 Bookstore?

If coaching book reviews are an important way you choose what to read, you may want to know something about our reviewers! I'm Tony Stoltzfus (click for my full bio), and I run Coach22. I've been a professional coach since 1999, and a mentor for many years before that. I helped found a large, international Christian coach training school, ran it as Director of Training for five years, and have written numerous coaching books and training aids. I also have several thousand coaching hours. Since I know a lot of other professional coaches, I've brought ones I trust in to help me review every book Coach22 carries.

What Does Coach22 Mean?

People often ask me what the meaning of "Coach22" is. There's no big secret—its just a catchy name. Short, memorable domain names are hard to come by!

If you really want a hidden meaning, "Coach22" reminds you of "Catch22", an well-known book by Joseph Heller. The rough idea behind catch 22 in the book was, if you don't think about your future, you are insane. I think that's a good coaching ideal.
