Summary

NCAA and SEC championship-winning American college basketball coaches Pat Summitt and John Wooden exemplified the essential values of humility, loyalty, encouragement, respect, honesty, confidence, curiosity, and the competitive spirit—to name a few. Lessons from the Legends shares the teachings of these renowned coaches at a time when "WE-GO, not ego‚" is more important than ever before.  Professional speaker and motivator Brian Biro brings together the championship team-building formula of Pat Summitt and John Wooden in his latest release, Lessons from the Legends. Biro describes the impact of these modern-day heroes, how their drive and integrity generated remarkable results. Though Biro points out that these two coaching legends were quite different in personality and approach—one all passion and intensity, the other calm and even-keeled—he highlights the significant characteristics they shared that set them apart as leaders. Biro explains that the foundational principles and coaching strategies of Pat Summitt and John Wooden can apply to teachers, business leaders, parents, and anyone else who strives to make their character their reputation.  With real-life examples of professional coaches demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of ever-changing challenges, Lessons from the Legends provides a winning game plan for those who seek excellence over ego.

    Gymnastics is a sport that combines strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. It has been a part of human culture for centuries, evolving from ancient Greek practices to the dynamic, highly specialized sport we know today. This chapter serves as an introduction to gymnastics, exploring its history, the different types of gymnastics, and the benefits it offers both physically and mentally. 
The origins of gymnastics date back to ancient Greece, where it was practiced as a form of physical education and training for soldiers. It later evolved into a competitive sport with the introduction of modern gymnastics in the late 19th century. The sport gained widespread popularity, especially with the inclusion of gymnastics in the Olympic Games. Today, gymnastics includes disciplines such as artistic, rhythmic, and trampoline gymnastics, each with its own unique set of skills and techniques. Artistic gymnastics is the most well-known, featuring apparatus such as the floor, vault, uneven bars, and balance beam. Rhythmic gymnastics involves performing routines with props like ribbons and hoops, while trampoline gymnastics focuses on acrobatics performed on a trampoline. 
Gymnastics is not only a sport of athleticism but also one that nurtures mental strength and discipline. It requires a high level of concentration, focus, and determination, which are essential in both training and competition. The process of learning gymnastics helps build resilience, as athletes often face challenges and setbacks before mastering a skill. The sport teaches the value of hard work, dedication, and perseverance, all while providing a platform for self-expression through movement.

    Two days east of Lukla was a pleasant yak pasture surrounded by high peaks. When Col. Jim Roberts set out to look for it in 1953, he ended up making the first ascent of Mera Peak and sowing the seeds of Himalayan tourism. 
Mera Peak has become a popular goal for trekkers and novice mountaineers, but few people climb to its true summit, and fewer still travel beyond it to find the secret yak pasture that sparked Roberts’ journey. 
The yak pasture was the Hongu Valley, a hidden sanctuary of grassland, lakes and glaciers linking Mera Peak with the Everest region and Island Peak to the north. Fifty years after Roberts, Mark Horrell embarked on a trek through Nepal’s Khumbu region to follow in his footsteps, climb the two trekking peaks at either end of the valley, and resolve a long-standing mystery about Mera Peak’s height. 
Join Mark on a captivating journey through this enchanting region of high mountains and remote valleys.
