Let Your Mind Run

Sports & Outdoors

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERDeena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method—run as hard as possible, for fear of losing—fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking—shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient—could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible. Building a mind so strong would take years of effort and discipline, but it would propel Kastor to the pinnacle of running—to American records in every distance from the 5K to the marathon—and to the accomplishment of earning America’s first Olympic medal in the marathon in twenty years.Let Your Mind Run is a fascinating intimate look inside the mind of an elite athlete, a remarkable story of achievement, and an insightful primer on how the small steps of cultivating positivity can give anyone a competitive edge.

My Carp Fishing Life (Ecton And Beyond)

Sports & Outdoors

'My Carp Fishing Life' is Steve`s fourth book. His first three were 'From gudgeon to Carp', 'More Carp Fishing' and 'Carp Fishing Tips and Theories'.This book continues the journey through his Carp Fishing Life from where 'More Carp Fishing' ended. It describes a lot of the fishing that Steve did in France, but not on the easier commercial waters where a lot of anglers fish, and where every Carp has a name. Many anglers enjoy those type of waters, but Steve prefers the less well-known venues, where there is still a little bit of mystery. The next fish could be a double, or it could be the fish of a lifetime, and that just adds to the excitement.The book tells of all the successes and failures, plus all of his adventures along the way, including some dramatic highs when catching some wonderful fish, but also some devastating lows that all true Carp anglers can identify with.The book has parts that are full of humour, parts of tragedy and parts full of pure elation.Enjoy!

Attitude

Sports & Outdoors

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the coach of the 2016 and 2018 NCAA Tournament–winning Villanova University men’s basketball team comes a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a champion, along with lessons from his coaching career and the story of his personal road to success.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BLOOMBERG When Kris Jenkins sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament, it was a victory not just for a team and its coach but for an entire program. In his twentieth season with the Villanova program, including a five-year stint as an assistant to Coach Rollie Massimino, Coach Jay Wright had achieved his lifelong dream—and witnessed the culmination of a decades-long effort to build a culture of winning around a set of core values. In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015–16 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors. Each step of Villanova’s journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright’s own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply, not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before us, Jay Wright’s core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone—from the head coach to the last player on the bench—can be a leader when the moment demands it. The product of a lifetime’s worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture.Praise for Attitude“Jay Wright’s Attitude is filled with wonderful anecdotes, life lessons, and that which we all seek: wisdom.”—Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman emeritus, Nike “In 2015–16, Villanova displayed the best attributes of a champion by playing hard, smart, and together. Jay Wright instilled those traits in his team, and in Attitude he shares the universal leadership lessons that helped it succeed.”—Mike Krzyzewski, head coach, Duke University basketball

Carp Fishing Trilogy

Sports & Outdoors

The Carp Fishing Trilogy consists of the first three books written by Steve Graham, and many people consider them to be three of his best.From Gudgeon to Carp - This is Steve’s first book. It is the story of an angler and the journey through his fishing life, plus all of the adventures along the way. It describes his progression from catching small fish on the canal as a young boy, through many different species of fish, and larger and larger quarry. But all these different fish lead on to the ultimate - Carp.Although predominantly about angling, this is a book that can be enjoyed by non-anglers too, as page after page reveals all the ups and downs that he experiences in search of his obsession.Names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the story is almost totally true, or as near as the authors fading memory would allow.More Carp Fishing - ‘More Carp Fishing’ is Steve’s second book and carries on his story from where his first book ‘From Gudgeon to Carp’ ended. It continues the story of his fishing life and describes the many exciting experiences in his quest for those most elusive of fish – BIG CARP.There are chapters on a real diversity of different waters including two very low stock lakes in England, other English syndicate and club waters and also several different venues in France where Steve caught some huge fish. The chapters relating to the largest low stock lake in particular are absolutely gripping. At the outset the stock of carp in the water was totally unknown, which is exciting enough in this day and age. The amount of natural food in the lake was extremely high and the fishing was to prove to be very difficult, but the results were well worth the effort.Most of the French lakes were not commercial venues and they had that extra spice of the unknown that Steve enjoys so much, but they were also very testing at times. Once again though, the effort was well rewarded with the capture of some spectacular fish.This book describes the many tremendous highs and also the devastating lows that he experiences in search of his obsession, and also all the people that he has met along the way.Page after page describes the journey through his fishing life in gripping detail, some parts full of humour, other parts tragic and some filled with pure elation.Carp Fishing Tips and Theories - Steve’s first two books described the journey through his fishing life, but this book is entirely different. It is crammed full of tips and theories which he has accumulated during his fifty years of angling.The book contains twenty different chapters including two fascinating sections on rigs and hook-baits, and many tips that have seldom been seen in print before. No secrets have been held back and with over 130 pages, the reader cannot fail to find some tips that will help them to put more Carp on the bank.

Rugby in Global Perspective

Sports & Outdoors

This book critically examines how rugby union has developed in recent years, in nations on the periphery of the sport. Focusing on people and places on the fringes, it examines contemporary issues and challenges within the global game.Such a collection is timely, as the sport’s governing body seeks to expand influence and participation beyond the eight core nations, with the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan being the first time that that tournament has taken place outside of the core. Presenting case studies from Europe, Africa, North and South America, Asia and the Middle East, this collection offers an interdisciplinary account of a sport that is undergoing a period of significant change. Through examination of topics such as the development of rugby sevens and the growth of women’s rugby, it considers what the future may hold for the sport.Rugby in Global Perspective is important reading for students of sport in society, the globalisation of sport, sports studies, sport development and associated fields. It is also a valuable resource for academic researchers working in rugby union or sport in the peripheral rugby nations, as well as those with an interest in cultural geography, sociology, development studies, events studies, event management and sport management.

Hikertrash

Sports & Outdoors

Teetering awkwardly on the brink of insanity, unable to handle life in snowy, cold, ultra-conservative North Idaho, Carl and Erin sold their house and set out in search of a new place to call home. Suddenly finding themselves completely free of responsibilities, jobless, and with a little spare cash in the bank, it didn’t take long before their serious search for a new life took some unexpected twists and turns. “What do you think we should do when we return to the States?” Erin asked Carl, as they sat outside a tiny café sipping coffee. It was a question that had been plaguing her for weeks as they budget travelled across South East Asia in an attempt to avoid winter (and reality). “I’ve been thinking about it, and I think we should thru-hike the Pacific Crest Trail.” Was Carl’s totally unexpected reply. Spend months on end traipsing through the wilderness, petting bunnies and chasing rainbows, as they hiked 2,660 miles from Mexico to Canada? How could Erin possibly say no? Life Rule #1: Never, ever, turn down an adventure. Friends wagered they wouldn’t last a week, but before they knew it, days turned into months as they made their way across America at three miles an hour. As Carl and Erin morphed into Bearclaw and Hummingbird, they found that being hikertrash suited them. Though they will both admit the trail was life altering, there were no great epiphanies, no magic answers to all of life’s burning questions, no “ah-ha!” moments when suddenly life made sense. This is not a tale of personal growth. Through blisters and shin splints, jaw-dropping landscapes and craptastically unspectacular forests, searing heat and pouring rain, complete hilarity and utter exhaustion, this is the story of what day-to-day life is really like on one of America’s greatest trails. As told through Hummingbird's journal entries, this is the story of life on the trail - the people you meet, the things you see, and how,mile by mile, you eventually become Hikertrash.
