Synopsis

"Fencing Stars" offers an unprecedented exploration of competitive fencing's evolution, focusing on the technical, strategic, and psychological elements that have shaped the sport since the 1950s. Through detailed analysis of Olympic and World Championship matches, the book reveals how legendary fencers like Christian d'Oriola and Edoardo Mangiarotti transformed fencing from a military discipline into the sophisticated sport we know today.The narrative expertly weaves together historical developments with modern innovations, examining how video analysis and sports science have revolutionized competitive fencing. The book's unique approach combines frame-by-frame bout analysis with insights from Olympic medalists, coaches, and sports scientists, offering readers unprecedented access to the decision-making processes of elite fencers.Drawing from previously unpublished training journals and incorporating perspectives from sports psychology, biomechanics, and game theory, the text provides both practical guidance for competitors and fascinating insights for sports enthusiasts. The work particularly excels in demonstrating how champions read opponents and adapt strategies mid-match.Structured in three comprehensive sections, the book progresses from technical foundations through strategic evolution to mental preparation, each chapter concluding with practical drills derived from champion training methods. While focusing primarily on foil and épée disciplines, the content maintains accessibility for newcomers while offering depth for experienced fencers, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the tactical dimensions of combat sports.

    Opening Day is the biggest regular season baseball game of the year. Michael Ortman never missed it, not once, for 50 years. Opening Day: 50-for-50 is a baseball tribute like no other—a well-researched work of love representing a half-century of great stories and historical context linked to each of those 50 days. This emotional journey connects three cities, six stadiums, five home teams, and four generations while overcoming life events, baseball’s labor unrest, and the 33-year absence of a hometown team. Along the way, Ortman encountered five U.S. Presidents and more than 50 future Hall of Fame players, coaches, and broadcasters: from Reagan to Obama, Robinson to Scherzer, Weaver to Torre, Caray to Kalas and hundreds more.
