Ollie Lang"s Power Paintball

Before I discuss the book itself, a quick background on the author, Oliver "Ollie" Lang.
In the world of professional paintball (yes, it's a real sport) Ollie is widely considered to be the very best.
The premier player, having won every single pro competition not once, but sometimes three and four times over.
By the time he was in his early twenties, he had achieved all this and more.
He is both respected by his peers and feared by his opponents.
Ollie started as a teen and helped form team Ironkids, but really cut his teeth in the sport on team Dynasty, where they traveled extensively and beat everyone there was to beat.
Oliver made pro paintball history when in 2006 he was paid by Dye Precision to leave team Dynasty and rejoin team Ironmen and endorses their products, however, Ollie Lang's Power Paintball was his own brainchild.
Google "Team Ironmen" to learn about Ollie's team, including team stats, roster, and sponsors, and everything Team Ironmen.
The book itself is well written.
Ollie is a down to earth dude, and it really comes through in his book.
The book offers a gold mine of information for everyone from beginner to intermediate players.
He offers advice on every single facet of the game.
The mindset before, during, and even after the game.
He covers it all: Getting over certain "fears,"Crushing common misconceptions, Just tons and tons of practical, field ready tips, strategies, and advice that unless you are a complete dunce, you will benefit from.
He is truly a pioneer in the sport and continues to be so with the advent of his book.
Ollie Lang's Power Paintball covers the sport from top to bottom:
  • 10 essential Drills the Ironmen use every time we practice.
  • How being able to control your Inner Game will make you a better player.
  • Eliminating the embarrassment of being the first guy shot.
  • The two most important tips that even pros for get.
  • and much much more.
Every little group or "click" has their own language, and paintball is no different.
Ollie even includes a huge glossary of the slang and acronyms and their definitions, so even if you do somehow still suck after reading the book ( like me), at least you can sound like you know what you're talking about.
Ollie Lang has truly outdone himself (again), and this is a must read for everyone from the weekend warrior to the aspiring pro.
