Hi, I'm Chris, founder of Off The Post and Kickbooks Publishing.

My journey started with a soccer-obsessed ten-year-old who couldn't get enough of the beautiful game. Every day, rain or shine, I was on that field—practicing drills, perfecting passes, living for the thrill of competition. In my dreams, I stood under stadium lights while crowds chanted my name.

But somewhere along the way, I lost my spark. The joy that once drew me outside at dawn began to fade. I needed something to reignite it—stories about players who'd faced doubts and setbacks and come out stronger. Tales that reminded me why I loved the game in the first place.

I couldn't find them.

My professional dreams eventually gave way to other paths. But that disappointment sparked something unexpected: if I couldn't become a soccer star, maybe I could create what my younger self had needed.

That's how Off The Post was born—a promise to every grass-stained, dream-chasing kid out there.

We create soccer stories that inspire young players, helping them see possibilities where they might otherwise see closed doors. Characters who face real challenges. Moments that reignite passion for the game. Books that make kids dream bigger.

Your child deserves stories that fuel their soccer dreams.

With our books, they won't just read—they'll believe.
