  Sports vision is an often-overlooked area that can be leveraged for improved performance. Most athletes invest in equipment and training without ever thinking about their vision. 
  Many scientific studies have highlighted the relationship between vision and on-field performance, and most professional sports teams employ a sports vision specialist to ensure all team members have optimal vision and visual function for success. 
  This audiobook, written by one of the premier sports vision specialists, details the knowledge gained over a 30+ year career working with Professional Athletes from all major sports from Premier League football to Olympic athletes, as well as almost every Professional league in the USA. 
  Beginning with a detailed review of how and why vision is important in sports, the book takes the reader on a journey through the vision system, identifying the areas critical to performance. 
  This audiobook spotlights the different areas that impact sports performance. From basic visual abilities (spoiler alert: 20/20 vision is not normal for an elite athlete and is rarely enough for optimal performance) to how the brain uses vision to make a decision and then how an athlete uses vision to make a perfectly executed motor action.

  The Mixer

  An absolutely essential book for every modern football fan, about the development of Premier League tactics, published to coincide with 25 years of the competition. 
  Back in 1992, English football was stuck in the dark ages, emerging from a five-year ban from European competition. The game was physical, bruising and attritional, based on strength over speed, aggression over finesse. It was the era of the midfield general, reducers, big men up front and getting it in the mixer; 4-4-2 was the order of the day. Few teams experimented tactically. 
  And then, almost overnight, it all changed. The creation of the Premier League coincided with one of the most seismic rule changes in football history: the abolition of the back-pass. Suddenly defenders had no-get-out-of-jail-free card, goalkeepers had to be able to field and play the ball and the pace of the game quickened immeasurably. Tactics evolved dramatically, helped by an increased foreign influence. 
  The Mixer is the first book to delve deep into the tactical story of the Premier League, and take a long view of how the game has developed over the last quarter century. From Ferguson’s directness to Keegan’s relentlessly attacking Newcastle outfit, to Mourinho’s cagey, reactive Chelsea, all the way to Ranieri’s counter-attacking champions, The Mixer is one of the most entertaining, rich and knowledgeable football books ever written. 
  The Mixer by Michael Cox is a bestseller that delves into the evolution of Premier League tactics. It's a sports book that stands out for its detailed analysis of coaching strategies and the transformation of soccer over the years. 
  For fans of Jonathan Wilson (The Names Heard Long Ago), James Tippett (The Expected Goals Philosophy), Tifo - The Athletic (How To Watch Football), Dan Blank (ROOKIE), and Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer).
