Sinopse

Sprint Power challenges the notion that sprinting ability is solely genetic, asserting that dedicated training and informed techniques are equally crucial. This book explores acceleration and top-end speed enhancement through focused sprint drills, force production techniques, and resistance training, improving running mechanics and power. Interestingly, understanding ground reaction forces—how athletes interact with the ground—is key to generating effective propulsion.

 
The book systematically guides the reader, starting with fundamental concepts like stride length and frequency. It then progresses to practical sprint drills for coordination and agility, followed by the science of force production and explosive strength exercises. Finally, it integrates resistance training methods directly relevant to sprint performance. This holistic approach, combining technique, power, and strength, is what sets Sprint Power apart, offering a data-driven roadmap for athletes and coaches striving for optimal speed.

Comfort in Darkness - The...

Rickson Gracie, Peter Maguire

A masterwork about the art of combat and the invisible powers within us all from Rickson Gracie, the world’s greatest Jiu Jitsu fighter and New York Times bestselling author of Breathe
A mythic figure in fighting and a legendary member of the “first family of martial arts,” Rickson Gracie is considered the godfather of what we recognize today as Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Although Rickson’s three decades of total dominance in Jiu Jitsu is astounding, even more astounding is the serenity and spiritual depth of his approach to combat.
For Rickson, Jiu Jitsu is a metaphor for life. Some consider Jiu Jitsu a martial art, others consider it a sport, but to Gracie, it is a philosophical system he uses to face and evaluate life’s challenges and maintain happiness and mental balance.
Gracie wrote Comfort in Darkness after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, a terminal sentence which he views as the final fight of his life, one he knows he will eventually lose. This is Gracie’s defining life statement about his spiritual and technical practice.
For the first time, Gracie reveals his time-tested theories and techniques of invisible Jiu Jitsu, a combat system and life philosophy for life he developed over the course of his life. Anyone can use the principles of invisible Jiu Jitsu to awaken their dormant inherent power and apply it to their everyday lives. An indispensable tool for any fighter or seeker, Comfort in Darkness is a timeless book of strategy about aligning the mind, body, and spirit.
