  - 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.

  THE ESSENTIAL NEW HISTORY OF MANCHESTER CITY'S EUROPEAN TRIUMPHS AND TRAGEDIES
  FEATURING A FOREWORD BY CITY LEGEND FRANCIS LEE
  
  
  As one of the first English sides to taste glory in Europe, lifting the Cup Winners' Cup in 1970, City looked set for life among the continent's elite. But as their domestic fortunes went from bad to worse to absolute calamity, the wilderness returned.
  
  Avid City fan and respected journalist Simon Curtis dusts off the details of some truly intoxicating away days. Filled with tales of the club's travelling support and the evocative accounts of the journalists who saw the team of the Seventies, Curtis tells the story of a club steeped in history, defiantly refusing to bow to pomp and ceremony as it goes about lifting the ultimate prize.
  
  After a spectacular rebuild and having achieved all there is to achieve on the domestic stage, including a record-breaking 100-point season in 2017-18, City's deep-pocketed owners have their sights firmly set on European glory once more. Yet for all their recent success at home, they are anything but welcome guests at Europe's top table.

  Running is more than just putting one foot in front of the other at a faster pace. It is a complex interplay of biomechanics, physiology, psychology, and culture. It is a pursuit that spans continents and centuries, from the endurance hunters of our ancient ancestors to the elite athletes of today's ultramarathons. 
    
  But running is not just a science—it is an art. It is an expression of the human spirit, a celebration of movement, and a connection to the world around us. It is a canvas upon which we paint our goals, our fears, and our triumphs. 
    
  In this book, we will delve into the science behind running: the mechanics of stride, the physiology of endurance, and the psychology of performance. We will explore the latest research and practical insights to help you optimize your training, prevent injury, and achieve your running goals. 
    
  But we will also celebrate the artistry of running: the beauty of a sunrise run, the camaraderie of a group workout, and the satisfaction of pushing past your limits. We will share stories of inspiration and perseverance, reminding you that running is not just about crossing the finish line, but about the journey along the way.

  What we eat has a huge impact on our physical and mental health, and on our performance in our chosen sport, whether we’re elite-level athletes or enthusiastic amateurs. But, with so much information out there, how do we choose a way of eating that is right for us?
   
  More Fuel You is a clear and authoritative guide to making the most of your nutrition. Leading sports dietitian Renee McGregor looks at fuelling needs for sporting participation, training and competition, and analyses some popular diet options, including low-carbohydrate, vegan and intermittent fasting.
   
  But this is not just another sports nutrition book. Renee recommends a holistic view: by understanding the human body and being self-aware, you can find the ideal nutritional approach for you personally. Significantly, Renee also discusses areas of sports nutrition in populations that are often overlooked, including women’s health and the menopause, healthy ageing, and the inclusion of individuals who don’t necessarily conform to the stereotype of an athlete, such as people living with chronic health conditions.
   
  Whatever your race, genetics, gender, age, socio-economic status, body type or ability, it’s important to be your own athlete, fuel appropriately for your body and enjoy what you do.
   
  Whether you’re a world-class or real-world athlete, if you’re serious about sport and nutrition, you can’t afford not to read this book.
