The Captain Class: A New Theory of LeadershipA bold new theory of leadership drawn from elite captains throughout sports named one of the best business books of the year by CNBC, The New York Times, Forbes, strategy+business, The Globe and Mail, and Sports Illustrated "The book taught me that there's no cookie cutter way to lead. Leading is not just what Hollywood tells you. It's not the big pregame speech. It's how you carry yourself every day, how you treat the people around you, who you are

A bold new theory of leadership drawn from elite captains throughout sports--named one of the best business books of the year by CNBC, The New York Times, Forbes, strategy+business, The Globe and Mail, and Sports Illustrated

"The book taught me that there's no cookie-cutter way to lead. Leading is not just what Hollywood tells you. It's not the big pregame speech. It's how you carry yourself every day, how you treat the people around you, who you are as a person."--Mitchell Trubisky, quarterback, Chicago Bears

Now featuring analysis of the five-time Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and their captain, Tom Brady

The seventeen most dominant teams in sports history had one thing in common: Each employed the same type of captain--a singular leader with an unconventional set of skills and tendencies. Drawing on original interviews with athletes, general managers, coaches, and team-building experts, Sam Walker identifies the seven core qualities of the Captain Class--from extreme doggedness and emotional control to tactical aggression and the courage to stand apart. Told through riveting accounts of pressure-soaked moments in sports history, The Captain Class will challenge your assumptions of what inspired leadership looks like.

Praise for The Captain Class

"Wildly entertaining and thought-provoking . . . makes you reexamine long-held beliefs about leadership and the glue that binds winning teams together."--Theo Epstein, president of baseball operations, Chicago Cubs

"If you care about leadership, talent development, or the art of competition, you need to read this immediately."--Daniel Coyle, author of The Culture Code

"The insights in this book are tremendous."--Bob Myers, general manager, Golden State Warriors

"An awesome book . . . I find myself relating a lot to its portrayal of the out-of the-norm leader."--Carli Lloyd, co-captain, U.S. Soccer Women's National Team

"A great read . . . Sam Walker used data and a systems approach to reach some original and unconventional conclusions about the kinds of leaders that foster enduring success. Most business and leadership books lapse into clich s. This one is fresh."--Jeff Immelt, chairman and former CEO, General Electric

"I can't tell you how much I loved The Captain Class. It identifies something many people who've been around successful teams have felt but were never able to articulate. It has deeply affected my thoughts around how we build our culture."--Derek Falvey, chief baseball officer, Minnesota Twins

Just ok
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
You get what you pay for. It’s reasonably priced but I find it leaves my skin feeling dry. I need a product for aging, dry skin.

Finally a Cleanser That Works for My Daughter's Puberty Skin
Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I ordered this foaming gel for my 11-year-old daughter on the recommendation of our dermatologist. She's at that age where her skin is changing, and we've been struggling with excess oil, shine, and the breakouts that come with it. Honestly, this is the best face wash we've tried so far. The texture is light and pleasant, it foams up nicely without being too thick or heavy. The scent is very mild and not overpowering, which is great for sensitive skin. After just a few uses, the oily shine on her skin started to fade, and the sebum production noticeably decreased. That means fewer breakouts and less irritation overall. It doesn't dry out her young skin at all. It just gently removes dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping it. No tightness, no redness. We're really happy with how it's working so far. Will continue using it and update if anything changes, but for now highly recommend for anyone dealing with puberty or oily, sensitive skin.

Rosacea care
Scent: Unscented, Size: 500ml / 16.7 Fl Oz
I have been using this cleanser for a year. It's a simple unscented cleanser that is part of my rosacea care. No irritation or tightness. When it's on sale I grab a couple. I found that applying it to dry skin first, then adding water, is much more effective than applying it on wet skin. The consistency is a little thin so it's challenging to make it lather. A great all around cleanser for any type of skin.

Gentle, soothing, and perfect for sensitive skin
Scent: Unscented, Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using the Bioderma Sensibio Foaming Gel for sensitive skin for a few weeks, and it has quickly become one of my favourite cleansers. Despite having combination skin that’s prone to redness and sensitivity, this gel never dries me out or causes irritation. The texture is a clear gel that transforms into a light, airy foam — so gentle and refreshing. It rinses off completely without leaving any tightness or residue . What I love most about it: • foams lightly yet cleans thoroughly — removes dirt, oil and even light makeup without stripping the skin ; • unscented, soap-free, non-comedogenic, and pH‑balanced, so it respects my skin’s natural barrier ; • leaves skin feeling hydrated, soft and calm, not tight or dry . In my routine, I use this gel morning and evening. It’s perfect for days when my skin is more reactive — calming without being stripping. Even after wearing light sunscreen or daily foundation, my face feels fresh and balanced post-wash. ✅ Gentle enough for daily use ✅ Keeps skin barrier intact ✅ Effective at cleansing without irritation This cleanser is now a permanent part of my skincare lineup. I definitely plan to repurchase — ideal for anyone seeking a reliable, ultra‑gentle everyday cleanser.
