    ‘The story of an unforgettable season’ Virgil van Dijk 
The definitive chronicle of Liverpool's footballing renaissance under Arne Slot, filled with exclusive interviews and unparalleled insight 
An engrossing and inspiring account of a new manager’s remarkable rise to prominence. 
Arne Slot arrived at Liverpool FC with little fanfare but a burning ambition. As a relatively unknown figure in English football, his appointment was met with scepticism. How could he hope to step into the shoes of the club’s greatest manager of the modern era? High drama and era-defining results would follow; unprecedented achievements, and pain too. But what was it like from the inside? 
James Pearce, Liverpool correspondent for the Athletic, draws on exclusive interviews and unparalleled behind-the-scenes insight to tell an unmissable story of a season, and a Premier League victory, like no other. 
From Slot’s beginnings as ‘The Bergkamp of Bergentheim’ to Liverpool’s deft use of player data; from the high drama of turning-point matches to the backroom negotiations around keeping talent like Mohammad Salah at Anfield, Pearce retells Liverpool’s dramatic recent history in enthralling detail and at addictive pace. 
Walk On is the book for any Liverpool fan to understand just how Slot transformed Liverpool into Premier League champions, and how he intends to keep them there. 
With an exclusive interview with Liverpool chairman Tom Werner, the book also features conversations with Arne Slot, chief executive Billy Hogan, captain Virgil van Dijk, Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Harvey Elliott, former assistant manager Pep Lijnders, former director of research Ian Graham, and a number of ex-Liverpool players including Sander Westerveld and Dirk Kuyt. 
In his latest biography, Pearce offers a fascinating insight into the world of professional soccer, exploring the psychology of coaching and the journey of an up-and-coming talent. This non-fiction work is a must-read for sports enthusiasts, providing a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of leading a top team.

    Sisterhood in Sports: How Female Athletes Collaborate and Compete tells the stories of all kinds of female athletes in a variety of sports. Their natural tendency to use talking as a primary form of communication is essential to their experiences and successes in sports. Women and girls tend to have BFFs, collaborate during periods of stress, express empathy for one another, worry about themselves and others, and desire to have fun in sports, which makes their experiences of sports and competition different from their male counterparts. Female strengths are grounded in both mind and body, and they take these strengths onto the court, field, and track.   There are now dozens of studies showing how the female brain and hormones operate quite differently than those of men. This book reveals the ways in which these differences confirm that intense emotions about relationships are part of the sporting life for female competitors. Joan Steidinger uses real stories to show that women and girls compete at very high

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
From Hollywood to the Power Plant. From poverty to the spotlight. From heartbreak to hope. 
James Yun’s journey is not just the story of a wrestler—it’s the story of a fighter. Growing up in a broken home, raised in poverty and strict religious control, James refused to let his beginnings define his ending. His dream of becoming a professional wrestler carried him from neighborhood trampolines to the WCW Power Plant, and eventually onto national television as part of WCW’s high-flying Jung Dragons. 
But the road was never easy. He was the youngest wrestler ever signed to WCW—only to lose it all within months. He faced rejection, betrayal, and heartbreak. Yet every time life knocked him down, James got back up. From late nights at “Good Ol’ Days” to the bright lights of WCW Saturday Night, from the collapse of WCW to his second chance with WWE—this is the story of a boy who became a man chasing his destiny. 
Yun’s Time is more than wrestling—it’s about grit, sacrifice, and the relentless belief that no matter how many times the world counts you out, you can still rise. 
Step inside the ring with James Yun. His fight is just beginning.
