TRUCKEE, Calif.- Tyrone “Coach Ty” Polastri, a ski instructor and personal development coach, has released his new book, Dancing on the Edge: Moving Through Life with Power, Dignity, and Effectiveness. His work offers readers practical tools to navigate life’s challenges—stress, uncertainty, and adversity—with resilience and grace. Drawing from his extensive background in skiing and personal mastery, Polastri uses the metaphor of skiing to help individuals tackle life’s “edges”—moments when fear and uncertainty arise, often leading to self-doubt or paralysis.
In his book, Polastri explains that just as skiers must embrace the fear of the slopes to move forward, we too must face life’s uncertainties with confidence and openness. “The ‘edges’ in life—those times of adversity, loss, or change—can be viewed not as obstacles but as opportunities for growth,” he says. Polastri’s goal is to provide readers with a “toolbox” they can use daily to feel empowered and navigate through life, even when the path ahead is unclear.
A unique aspect of the book is Polastri’s blend of personal development and spirituality. As both a ski instructor and a minister, he integrates his belief that change starts in the body and through the body. “True transformation happens when we connect mind and body,” he said. “The dance of life is about being open to intuition, challenges, and serendipity.”…
