Expect to Win–Hate to Lose

Matt Furey wrote hundreds of riveting articles and monthly columns for various martial arts and combat fitness magazines over the years, such as Grappling, Inside Kung Fu, Black Belt, Gladiator and W.I.N.
Furey’s articles and columns became collector’s items after they were passed around at military bases, martial arts and mixed martial arts academies, fitness and personal training studios, as well as amongst various baseball, football, hockey, wrestling and basketball programs.
This happened not just due to the priceless information Furey’s columns contained, but also because of the unique way he told each tale.
As so many authors, coaches, executives, doctors, lawyers, copywriters and advertising experts have stated for many years, when it comes to storytelling, Furey skills are par excellence.
In Expect to Win–Hate to Lose, Furey gives you 62 of his all-time greatest stories, all of which contain vitally important information that any success-oriented person will devour.
Many readers stated that they read the book from start-to-finish and immediately began reading it a second time. Perhaps you will, too.
Furey takes you on seemingly endless adventures through martial arts, grappling and combat sports training halls. He writes about the legendary Olympic Gold Medalist wrestler, Dan Gable, and other wrestling and martial arts coaches he was mentored by.
He takes you to the Shaolin Temple of China, to a private audience with the Tendai Marathon Monk, Sakai Yusai, in Kyoto, Japan. He reveals insights and secrets that most people the world over would never uncover on their own, no matter how hard they work, or how many years they’ve been training.

“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for the copy of your new book, Expect to Win–Hate to Lose. To say that I enjoyed reading it would be a dis-service to the book. I found it to be inspirational and enlightening. Your work continues to touch the warrior’s heart and spirit in a way that many authors can only dream about.
I was so impressed with the book that I am going to make it required reading for all our students who are candidates for advanced Black Belt rank.
Again, thank you for the information and I look forward to the next chapter in your remarkable story.
Respectfully,”

“Wanted to let you know that within minutes of finishing your book Expect to Win–Hate to Lose, I ordered an additional 25 copies. My plan is to give each of my 18 employees a copy and we will read and review one chapter a week at our staff meetings. I can’t wait to see how it will impact our business as well as personal lives. The tools you provide with each and every chapter are life changing.
Honestly there’s more practical and useful information in that book than in any self-help or business book I’ve read in the last 5 years (and I’ve read dozens!).
Thank you for revealing these incredible tools. Really, it’s not a book it’s a success toolbox…batteries included. 🙂
Thanks again Matt.”
