  When it comes to training for climbing, there is an overwhelming amount of information out there. In The Science of Climbing Training, top Spanish climbing coach Sergio Consuegra has analysed our sporting needs from the perspective of exercise and sports science to provide an evidence-based approach to training for climbing. It is designed to help us improve climbing performance, whether we're taking the next step in our training as we work towards a project, or if we're a coach looking to optimise our athletes' training. It doesn't contain any 'magic' training methods, because there are none – although you might be shocked by the science behind some popular methods.
  The first part explains what training is and how different training methods are governed by the physiological and biomechanical processes that occur in the body. The second part looks at how to improve specific needs (such as finger strength and forearm muscle endurance) and general needs (such as basic physical conditioning, pulling strength, pushing strength, strength training for injury prevention) for the different demands and types of climbing and bouldering. The third and final part suggests the best ways to fit it all together. It looks at adjusting training volume and intensity, and tapering to encourage supercompensation, all to help us achieve improved performance, whether it's a breaking into a higher grade, ticking that long-standing project or climbing a dream route.

  The island of Britain has over 10,000 miles of coastline, steeped in history and constantly shifting, changing, adapting and providing. The Restless Coast is a moving and beautiful account of a journey around it, during which the author travels its length to discover its challenges and opportunities, and to talk to the people trying to protect it.
  
  
  At once delightful travelogue and passionate defence, The Restless Coast shines a powerful spotlight into the thin line that surrounds us, and defines our status as islanders. Overarching the journey is the extraordinary natural history of the coastline, together with the story of how man has imprinted himself on its very geology and shape for countless centuries. Into the account, Roger Morgan-Grenville threads the modern challenges that the shoreline faces, and the people who are trying to protect it. At once informative, angry and funny, The Restless Coast is a very personal love letter to our island edge.

  The Midrange Theory -...

  At its core, the goal of any basketball team is relatively simple: take and make good shots while preventing the opponent from doing the same. But what is a "good" shot? 
   
   
   
  The concept of basketball "analytics" has been lauded, derided, and misunderstood. The incorporation of more data into NBA decision-making has been credited—or blamed—for everything from the death of the traditional center to the proliferation of three-point shooting to the alleged abandonment of the area of the court known as the midrange. 
   
   
   
  In The Midrange Theory, Seth Partnow, NBA analyst for The Athletic and former director of basketball research for the Milwaukee Bucks, explains how numbers have affected the modern NBA game, and how those numbers urge us toward thinking about it in new ways. 
   
   
   
  ● Why some players succeed in the playoffs while others don't 
   
   
   
  ● How NBA teams think about constructing their rosters through the draft and free agency 
   
   
   
  ● The difficulty in measuring defensive achievement 
   
   
   
  From shot selection to evaluating prospects to considering aesthetics and ethics while analyzing the box scores, Partnow deftly explores where the NBA is now, how it got here, and where it might be going next.

  This book is a combination of titles, which are about the following topics: 
  - Boxing Basics: Boxing is one of the oldest and most celebrated combat sports in history, combining athleticism, strategy, and resilience. Its roots can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was practiced as both a form of entertainment and a test of physical prowess. Over time, boxing has evolved into a regulated sport with worldwide recognition, drawing millions of fans and participants alike. 
  - Fencing Fundamentals: During the Middle Ages, fencing became integral to European culture as knights and warriors used swords in battle and duels to resolve disputes. These confrontations emphasized honor and personal defense, laying the groundwork for fencing as an art form. The development of the rapier in the 16th century marked a turning point. 
  - Martial Arts Mastery: Martial arts have a rich history that spans thousands of years, evolving from ancient practices of self-defense and combat into a diverse array of styles and philosophies. The origins of martial arts can be traced to civilizations around the world, with evidence of early techniques and methods seen in ancient Egypt, Greece, China, and India. 
  - The Heart of a Champion: What sets a champion apart from the rest? It’s not just talent, strength, or skill—it’s the mindset. The greatest athletes in history have all shared one thing: an unshakable belief in themselves, an ability to push through challenges, and an unwavering commitment to their goals. A champion’s mindset is built on discipline, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. 
  I've especially curated these titles and combined them for a higher-value, lower-price kind of deal!
