Lessons from the Legends - New Applications from the Timeless Wisdom of John Wooden & Pat Summitt

Brian Biro

Sinopsis

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.

Freewheeling - Essays on Cycling

Various Contributors

Cycling? It's one of my life's constants, it feeds my need for beauty, for delight and for aimless exploring . . . I hope to continue pedalling, nice and slowly, for the rest of my life, with the same curiosity that ignited my childhood.

Twelve writers consider the joys and consolations of cycling, whether in a city late at night or along country lanes on a summer's day. Yara Rodrigues Fowler and Xani Byrne write movingly on coming to terms with loss through tandem biking; Jon McGregor takes part in the overnight Dunwich Dynamo. Annie Lord sings the praises of cycling home on Lime bikes from parties, while the late Dervla Murphy regales us with stories of a cycle through Europe.

Freewheeling is a celebration of life on two wheels, and how bikes can become an extension of ourselves, a type of armour, and a route to liberation.

Peak Performance - Maximizing...

Zane Ryder

These are the 4 books in this bundle:
- Champions' Playbook: Success in any sport begins with the right mindset. The journey to becoming a champion is not just about physical prowess but also about cultivating a mental framework that supports peak performance. A champion’s mindset is characterized by resilience, confidence, and an unwavering belief in their ability to succeed, regardless of the challenges they face.
- Game Changers: In every era, athletes have pushed the boundaries of what is possible within their sports, but some have gone even further, breaking societal and cultural barriers in ways that extended far beyond the field. These trailblazers were not just pioneers in athletic achievement; they were agents of change who challenged and changed the status quo.
- The Athlete's Edge: Athletic performance is the culmination of physical ability, mental resilience, and strategic preparation. To achieve peak performance, athletes must first understand the intricate interplay of factors that influence their capabilities on and off the field. This understanding forms the foundation for designing effective training and nutrition plans tailored to individual goals.
- Peak Performance: Peak performance is the state in which an athlete performs at the highest possible level, maximizing their physical, mental, and emotional potential. It’s not just about physical ability; it’s about the integration of mind and body working in harmony to achieve excellence. Whether in elite sports or personal goals, reaching peak performance requires a deep understanding of one’s strengths, weaknesses, and the effort required to reach new heights.

Pain & Performance - The...

Ryan White, Matt Fitzgerald

What if everything you know about pain is wrong? 
 
For starters, pain is not synonymous with being “injured.” It’s also not evidence that your biomechanics are “flawed” or your body is “imbalanced.” And most important, pain doesn’t always mean you have to see a doctor. 
 
In Pain & Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way for athletes to understand and manage pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine’s approach to pain and injury management. Based on many years of research and a greater appreciation of the complexity of pain as a lived experience, Whited’s revolutionary “Training as Treatment” method puts you in control of your pain experience as you build mental and physical resilience.  
 
Learning this simple, three-step process will start you on a path to better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey with less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, and less time and money wasted on treatments that don’t work. 
 
An elite boulderer and son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey, Whited brings a pragmatic approach to a complex process. As a trainer, he has spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics, a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and recreational athletes who’ve grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain & Performance makes Whited’s unparalleled knowledge of pain science and physiology available to anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor’s office and on track toward their goals. 
 
"Training as Treatment is a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and working with pain rather than against it. By helping athletes face fear and reframe pain, Ryan Whited facilitates a shift in mindset that fosters a healthy, lifelong relationship to sport and performance.”—Rob Krar, coach and ultrarunning champion 
 
This audiobook contains a supplemental PDF with a Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a link to video demonstrations of exercises to get started on a Training as Treatment plan.
