  Every parent dreams of seeing their young athlete thrive—but what happens when performance pressure starts stealing their love of the game? 
  When traditional coaching methods failed to address his own child's competition anxiety, Emmanuel Drake knew there had to be a better way. Drawing from cutting-edge sports psychology research, he developed an effective system that transforms how young athletes think, compete, and grow—both on and off the field. 
  The Mental Toughness Playbook bridges the gap between complex psychological concepts and practical application for developing minds. Through simple yet powerful techniques, including mindfulness, visualization, and strategic self-talk, young athletes learn to conquer pregame nerves, bounce back from setbacks, and build unshakeable resilience that extends far beyond the scoreboard. 
  This isn't about pushing kids harder—it's about equipping them with the mental tools to embrace challenges, view mistakes as stepping stones, and maintain their passion for sports while reaching their full potential. Each strategy can be implemented in just 5-10 minutes and seamlessly integrates with existing training routines. 
  Whether your child is just starting out or competing at elite levels, these proven methods will help them develop the resilient mindset and emotional awareness that creates champions in sport and life.

  When young fans think of football, names like Messi, Ronaldo, Bellingham, Salah, Haaland, and Mbappé often come to mind. But there's an incredible story right here in our own backyard.  
  The Goals That Changed Australia by David Weiner isn’t a tale of fantasy, conjured up in imagination or played out on a PlayStation screen. This real-life adventure shares the incredible journey of Australia’s national teams, blending the stories of our Matildas and the Socceroos and their biggest stars into one compelling narrative. 
  Designed for readers from upper primary to teenage years – and maybe even their parents, it offers a fresh and engaging perspective on our football heritage. 
  With moments like Cortnee Vine’s and John Aloisi’s iconic penalties as its cornerstone, the book takes young fans on an exhilarating ride through the highs and lows of Australian football from 2006 to 2023, culminating in the home FIFA Women's World Cup that stopped a nation. It’s a celebration of our unique identity on the world stage—not just as a men’s or women’s team, but as a united football family. 
  This is Australian football's story, told for the first time in a way that young fans can connect with—a tale of resilience, pride, and the love of the game that runs deep in our veins, that aims to inspire the next generation to cheer for the green and gold with the same enthusiasm as they do for the world's biggest stars. 
  Suitable for readers from upper primary school.

  Playing through the Whistle -...

  From a Sports Illustrated senior writer, a moving epic of football and industrial America, telling the story of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, its now-shuttered steel mill, and its legendary high school football team 
  Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, is famous for two things: the Jones and Laughlin Steel mill, an industrial behemoth that helped win World War II, and football, with a high school team that has produced numerous NFL stars including Mike Ditka and Darrelle Revis. But the mill, once the fourth largest producer in America, closed for good in 2000. What happens to a town when a dream dies? Does it just disappear? 
  In Playing through the Whistle, celebrated sports writer S. L. Price tells the story of this remarkable place, its people, its players, and through it, a wider story of American history from the turn of the twentieth century. Aliquippa has been many things—a rigidly controlled company town, a booming racial and ethnic melting pot, and, for a brief time, a workers’ paradise.  
  Price expertly traces this history, while also recounting the birth and development of high school sports, from a minor pastime to a source of civic pride to today, when it sometimes seems like the only way out of a life of poverty, drug abuse, and crime. Playing through the Whistle is a masterpiece of narrative journalism that will make you cry and cheer in equal measure.

  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 -...

  Over 130 years ago, mountaineer Sir Hugh Munro published the first list of Munros – Scottish mountains with a height over 3,000 feet – and inspired the hobby of Munro 'bagging', a pastime which combines rugged adventure on a personal and literal journey around the Scottish Highlands with a nerdy compulsion to maintain a ticklist.
  Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 by Nicola Hardy (Munroist number 6,765) features 64 routes designed to link up the 141 most southerly Munros so you can enjoy the challenge of 'compleating' them at your own pace – over years, months or, in rare cases, even just a few weeks. It presents not only the most efficient routes, but does so in such a way that each route is a fantastic walk or run in its own right. The featured routes include the iconic Ring of Steall and Ben Nevis via the Carn Mòr Dearg Arête, alongside classic entry-level walks up the likes of Ben Chonzie, Ben Lomond in Loch Lomond and the Trossachs and Mount Keen in the Cairngorms.
  To assist you in building an itinerary, the routes are split into ten Highland hubs which include Glencoe, Fort William, Braemar and Pitlochry. These are chosen to be easy to access and with decent public transport links to help you make environmentally sustainable choices when you can. Base yourself in a Highland hub for a long weekend or a lengthier stay, springboard to Munro routes from each hub and return to access the recommended local facilities including shops, pubs and cafes.
  In addition, the book is packed with useful information, including 1:40,000 scale maps, elevation profiles, route directions, public transport and parking details, refreshments, downloadable GPX files for each route, and custom timings for walkers, trekkers, fastpackers and runners. Along with stunning photography, there are rest day suggestions, accommodation ideas to suit multiple budgets and a series of supportive indices through which you can find suitable walks, whatever your current level of hillwalking experience.
  Whatever your timescale for compleating Scotland's Munros, Peak Bagging Munros Volume 1 is the indispensable guide to this Scottish hill challenge.
