  Basketball Brilliance -...

  Basketball is a fast-paced, dynamic game that combines athleticism, skill, and strategy. Understanding the fundamentals is key to becoming proficient on the court, whether you are a beginner or an experienced player. This chapter will introduce the basic concepts of the game, from the layout of the court to the different player positions and essential rules. 
  The first step in mastering basketball is understanding the court layout. The basketball court is a rectangular surface, typically 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, with a hoop at each end. The court is divided into two main sections: the frontcourt, where the offensive team plays, and the backcourt, where the defensive team operates. Key markings on the court include the three-point arc, free-throw line, and the key area, also known as the paint, which is crucial for both offense and defense. 
  Next, it’s important to know the different player positions. There are five main positions on the basketball court: point guard, shooting guard, small forward, power forward, and center. Each position plays a unique role depending on their strengths and the team’s strategy. The point guard is typically the team’s primary ball handler, responsible for directing the offense and distributing the ball. The shooting guard focuses on scoring, especially through perimeter shots. The small forward is versatile, able to score, defend, and contribute in various aspects of the game. The power forward is often a physical presence in the paint, both offensively and defensively, while the center usually plays near the basket, focusing on rebounding and shot-blocking.

  "Running the World is a captivating tale of inspiration and adventure! It made me feel like if Robyn can do it—maybe I can too!" - Author of Foam, Laurel SenickWhat does it take to run the world—literally and figuratively? 
  For Robyn Godfrey, it meant logging thousands of miles and navigating one of the most transformative decades of her life. Running the World is more than a runner’s travelogue, it’s a memoir of reinvention, resilience, and the conviction that it’s never too late to redefine yourself. 
  Robyn’s story begins not on a start line but in adolescence, as a clumsy, reluctant teen, and later as a mid-life party girl questioning her relationship with alcohol. She wasn’t chasing medals, she was searching for purpose in a life full of contradictions. 
  Everything changed the day she laced up a pair of running shoes. What began as a fitness experiment became a calling. With each step, Robyn discovered a stronger, braver self, one who embraced discomfort and learned to trust her instincts. 
  She then set an audacious goal: conquer all six World Marathon Majors. Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City. That quest demanded more than 26.2 miles of training; it required navigating foreign cities, jet lag, cultural surprises, self-doubt, and the emotional weight of life at home. 
  Yet she persevered, running through rain, heat, and snow; training before dawn and after work; crossing finish lines with gratitude and grit. Each city left its mark: cheering crowds in London, carb-loading lessons in Tokyo, Heartbreak Hill’s triumph in Boston, Berlin’s fierce determination, Chicago’s home-field spirit, and New York’s electrifying finale...
