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.

    Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award 2022 
Football has always measured success by what you win, but only in the last twenty years have clubs started to think about how you win. Data has now suffused almost every aspect of how football is played, coached, scouted and consumed. But it’s not the algorithms or new metrics that have made this change, it’s the people behind them. 
This is the story of modern football’s great data revolution and the group of curious, entrepreneurial personalities who zealously believed in its potential to transform the game. Central to this cast is Chris Anderson, an academic with no experience in football, who saw data as an opportunity to fundamentally change a sport that did not think it could be changed. His aim: to infiltrate the strange, insular world of professional football by establishing a club whose entire DNA could be built around data. 
Expected Goals charts his remarkable journey into the heart of the modern game and reveals how clubs across the world, from Liverpool to Leipzig and Brentford to Bayern Munich, began to see how data could help them unearth new players, define radical tactics and plot their path to glory. 
The book Expected Goals by Rory Smith, delves into the intricate world of soccer, where the best coaching strategies are now driven by data and statistics. It's a top pick for anyone interested in the business side of sports, especially the economics and probability aspects that are now integral to the game. 
For fans of Tifo - The Athletic (How To Watch Football), Ian Graham (The Ultimate Book of Impostors), James Tippett (The Expected Goals Philosophy), Jonathan Wilson (Kick and Run), and Stefan Szymanski (It's Football, Not Soccer).

    Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three decades of running ultramarathons across the globe, Dean Karnazes is still going strong. This updated and revised edition includes an afterword full of the lessons he’s picked  
up along the way. He gives personal details on the essential pillars of health—fitness, diet, and sleep.  
 
What does he eat, what supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress does he sleep on? Aging well takes work, and the man who hasn’t stopped is sharing the tips and learnings that have kept him going, mile after grueling mile. 
 
Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes’ story: the mind-boggling adventures of his nonstop treks through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the lung-freezing ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the towering peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada. 
 
With an insight and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how he navigates the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of extreme ultrarunning with a full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how running has made him who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a teenager’s energy, and a  
champion’s wisdom.

    Myology is the scientific study of muscles, their structure, function, and role in movement. Muscles are fundamental to human life, enabling everything from basic motions such as breathing and walking to complex athletic performances. Without muscles, the human body would be incapable of movement, stability, or even essential functions such as circulation and digestion. Understanding myology provides valuable insight into how the body operates, adapts, and responds to physical demands. 
The importance of studying muscles extends beyond movement. Myology is crucial in various fields, including medicine, sports science, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. Muscle health affects overall well-being, influencing strength, endurance, posture, and even metabolic function. For athletes, understanding muscle mechanics helps optimize performance and prevent injuries. In the medical field, myology plays a key role in diagnosing and treating muscular disorders, ranging from simple strains to complex neuromuscular diseases. 
The study of muscles dates back thousands of years. Ancient Greek physicians, including Hippocrates and Galen, laid the groundwork for myology, describing muscle function in relation to human anatomy. Leonardo da Vinci’s anatomical drawings provided further insights into muscle structure and movement. As medical knowledge advanced, scientists discovered the microscopic components of muscles, leading to a deeper understanding of their biochemical and physiological properties. Today, modern technology, such as electromyography (EMG) and imaging techniques, allows researchers to study muscle function in greater detail than ever before.
