  A whirlwind history of soccer's improbable rise―from ancient traditions to worldwide cultural focus 
   
  How did a simple kicking game conquer the world? In this concise yet comprehensive history, sports historian Brian D. Bunk traces soccer's unlikely, meteoric rise, showing how a pastime humbly rooted in English schoolyard contests grew to become the planet's most popular sport. Today, soccer is a cultural and economic juggernaut: The World Cup, the sport's crown jewel, is now our most-watched sporting event, and one of soccer's biggest stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, is the world's most-followed person on social media. Soccer even has the power, as Bunk's surprising history recounts, to sway elections and topple governments. Drawing on key historical and contemporary events both on and off the field, from famous victories to the dark money and backroom deals that now power the game at its highest levels, Bunk shows us the many ways that a single soccer goal today may not only electrify a sold-out stadium but reverberate around the world.The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced listen.

  Art Shamsky, 1969 New York Met and noted author, shares with listeners stories and anecdotes from his fifty-year association with the New York Mets. Through stories of varying lengths, listeners will be privy to behind-the-scenes and first-hand accounts of the New York Mets from lovable losers to impossible winners in 1969, and beyond, including stories about today's players. We witness the leadership of Tom Seaver, the steady hand of manager Gil Hodges, what it was like to share right field with charismatic Ron Swoboda, what it was like to grace a magazine cover with 1960s supermodel Lauren Hutton, in addition to a wealth of stories about the Mets, the organization, and its star players over the past half century.

  Athletes Who Build - From...

  Today’s athletes have more opportunity than any generation before them. They can earn, build an audience, launch ideas, use artificial intelligence, invest, and own more of what they create. Yet most are still trained only to perform. They are rarely taught to build. Athletes Who Build is a nonfiction playbook for the NIL, AI, and ownership era. Written for athletes and for the parents, coaches, advisors, educators, mentors, and leaders who guide them, it shows how performance becomes attention, attention becomes opportunity, opportunity becomes assets, and assets become a life that compounds long after the final whistle. Antonio Banos introduces the Athlete Enterprise framework, the Builder’s Ladder, and the Builder’s Five Capitals: human, social, brand, financial, and impact. Through stories, research, and frameworks, the book helps athletes see their sport not as the end goal, but as the platform for building ownership, wealth, purpose, and lasting impact. Athletes Who Build is designed for individual readers, classrooms, NIL education programs, teams, and anyone helping athletes prepare for opportunity beyond the game. For every athlete ready to treat performance as the platform, not the destination, this book asks a better question: what are you building today that will still matter tomorrow?
