  Strength and sacrifice. Toughness and tenderness. Success and struggles. These elements—ever present in the world of sports—are also among the beautiful and challenging dichotomies at the heart of working motherhood.  
    
  Tough as a Mother tackles motherhood in a whole new way, bringing all moms up close and personal with some of the biggest names in sports while showcasing the shared strengths—the Tough Mother Tenets—that empower us all.  
    
  U.S. Soccer star Alex Morgan; Olympic swimmer Dara Torres; Hall of  Fame broadcaster Andrea Kremer; WWE Superstar Becky Lynch; and award-winning journalist, producer, and director Hannah Storm headline an All-Star roster of tough mothers who share insight with readers through candid, vulnerable conversations. They come to you not as famous athletes, TV personalities, or professional movers and shakers but simply as fellow working mothers who share with you their very personal stories and give you a glimpse of some of the real challenges they’ve faced in their quest to “have it all.” These rock star mothers will become your sisters in arms, kindred spirits who know what you’re feeling as you try to find a place in the office to pump or step out of a meeting to take a call from a frenzied babysitter.  
    
  By turns wry, self-deprecating, heartfelt, and exuberant, this empowering anthology invites readers to destroy the myth of perfection, redefine the concept of balance, and help all mothers feel strong and supported.  
    
  “This book by Jenn Hildreth and Aimee Leone is pure GOLD (which is fitting as 'Liquid Gold' is what I used to call my breast milk). These are stories of moms’ not-so-glamorous moments that are so often untold yet need to be heard. You will laugh, you will relate, and most importantly, you will be reminded of the radness and madness that comes with being a MOM. And yes, all moms wear capes.”—Julie Foudy, ESPN Analyst, two-time FIFA World Cup Champion and Olympic Champion Gold Medalist United States Soccer Player

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  From Ancient Arenas to Digital Fields: The Evolution of Sports Through the Ages is a sweeping journey through the history of human competition, play, and physical expression. Tracing the path of sport from its ritualistic beginnings in early human societies to the dazzling world of esports today, this book explores how games have always been more than just recreation. They have been windows into culture, identity, politics, and the human spirit itself. 
  The story begins in the ancient world, where contests were rituals intertwined with spiritual life, survival skills, and community celebrations. The Greeks carried this vision further with the Olympics, merging athletic excellence with ideals of harmony, discipline, and divine honor. Rome added grandeur and spectacle, transforming sport into a mass performance staged in colossal arenas, where gladiators, charioteers, and emperors used entertainment as a tool for both unity and political power. 
  Moving into the Middle Ages, the book explores the martial sports of knights, jousts, and chivalry, alongside the rough folk games played in village squares. These events reveal how sport both reflected and shaped social order, from feudal loyalties down to peasant celebrations. The Renaissance and early modern eras introduced rules, codifications, and the beginnings of clubs that would transform chaotic pastimes into recognizable sports, laying the foundation for modern professionalism. 
  The Age of Empires and colonial expansion carried games across borders, introducing cricket, football, and polo to far-flung corners of the world, where they often became symbols of both imperial power and subtle resistance. By the nineteenth century, professionalism took root—clubs, leagues, and international teams turned sport into an institution that began to dominate cultural and national identities.

  Have you already tried a million different diets without success?  
  Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?  
  Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more? 
  Hey listen, 
  At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today. 
  Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food. 
  Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience? 
  In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double! 
  And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep. 
  Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about!

  THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
  ‘Hilarious, and straight talking but also articulate and insightful – I am just hugely fond of this guy’  
  –Eddie Jones 
  ‘James Haskell: what a flanker, what a book’ 
  –Rugby World 
  ‘I’d like to be remembered as a player who showed that you can be incredibly professional but also a lot of fun – a bit of a joker in the changing room, but the ultimate competitor on the pitch. That should have been the subtitle of this book, really…’ 
  One of rugby’s most ferocious flankers and biggest characters, James Haskell has had an extraordinary, global experience of the game, having played for the Wasps, Northampton and England, and in New Zealand, France and Japan. After seventeen years and with 77 international caps under his sizeable belt, he has a shitload to say about rugby life – from pitch to pub and everywhere in between. 
    
  In What A Flanker, Haskell sheds fresh light on the dynamics and the day-to-day of the game. Whether he’s recalling the most brutal team socials; dispelling the myths surrounding New Zealand’s dominance; introducing his Japanese teammates to manscaping or calling out play-acting in the modern game, no subject is off limits. 
    
  Side-splittingly funny and ruthlessly honest, What A Flanker delves into the touring, drinking, training, eating and sometimes unconscionable antics of the professional rugby player. It’s an unforgettable read, even if there are some stories you’d rather forget… 
  [Correction: in the author biography and on p.22 of this book, it is stated in error that the House of Rugby podcast is now known as The Good, The Bad and The Rugby. The House of Rugby podcast continues and The Good, The Bad and The Rugby is a separate podcast.] 
  Haskell's autobiography, What A Flanker, is a humorous and insightful look into the world of professional rugby. His personal growth, dedication to fitness, and success as a Sunday Times bestselling author make this a compelling read for sports enthusiasts and fans of autobiographies alike. 
  For fans of Rachel Murphy (Loose Head), Robert Jobson (Guarding Diana), Luke Upton (Hard Men of Rugby), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), and Jonny Wilkinson (Jonny).
