FORCE Magazine

FORCE Magazine's June issue showcases the inspiring story of Russ Rogers, a former baseball and softball coach who transitioned his career during the COVID-19 pandemic to focus on empowering families and communities. With over two decades of experience in coaching, Russ faced a pivotal moment that led him to author a series of five books designed to encourage family unity through outdoor activities. These books, praised for their vibrant illustrations and motivational messages, aim to lay a foundation for an active lifestyle from an early age.In addition to his books, Russ launched "The Walks" in October 2023-a monthly global movement to promote physical activity and community bonding. Held on the second Saturday of each month, these two-mile walks have already spread to 13 states and 2 countries. Russ's overarching mission, Movetoday365, emphasizes the importance of daily movement for mental and physical well-being. With the upcoming release of the 1st Anniversary Edition of his collection, "Today," on June 8, 2024, Russ continues to inspire communities worldwide.
