    Golden Lily is the fascinating autobiography from Asia's first ever dinghy sailing gold medallist. It tells of her learning to sail and becoming a full-time athlete at just 10 years old. At that age Lijia Xu was taken away from her parents and enrolled in the gruelling Chinese training regime, a programme meticulously prescribed across all sporting disciplines to catapult the nation's talented youngsters to international champions. It is a rare insight into a shocking world of relentless physical training and unquestioning mental compliance. Lijia's honest and heart-felt account takes you on her journey from physical disabilities and debilitating injuries to learning to think for herself, eventually going on to achieve her dream of becoming an Olympic gold medallist. Now, ten years since its first publication, Lily has updated the story. She tells of her third and final Olympic campaign at Rio 2016 and then training to be a sports journalist and covering Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 as a reporter. Lijia opens up about her secret relationship with her English coach and their subsequent marriage, as well as talking about her post-Olympic sailing including IMOCA 60s, M32s, J80s and Waszps. This is an inspirational story of a young woman's will to succeed despite all that her background threw at her.

    I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
    Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
    In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
    She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
    Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
    This is narrated for the author.

    Tennis is a dynamic sport that requires more than just physical skill. While athleticism, technique, and fitness are essential, having a solid understanding of tactics can often be the deciding factor in a match. Tennis tactics involve strategies, decision-making, and adjusting your game plan according to the flow of the match, the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and even the conditions of the court. This chapter introduces the concept of tennis tactics, emphasizing their importance for players of all levels, from beginners to professionals. 
    At its core, tennis is a game of patience and precision. In order to outsmart your opponent, you must be able to analyze the situation on the court and make the best possible decisions. Tactics come into play when choosing the right shot, deciding when to attack or defend, and how to manage the mental aspects of the game. Understanding the fundamentals of tennis tactics is key to building a strong foundation for your play, regardless of your style. 
    One of the first steps in developing effective tactics is recognizing that no single strategy works for every situation. A good player is versatile and adaptable, able to modify their approach depending on the opponent, the surface, and the match circumstances. For example, on a fast hard court, you might choose to play aggressively with deep, powerful shots, while on a slower clay court, a more patient, defensive style might be needed to outlast your opponent. Being able to read the game and adjust accordingly is an essential part of any winning strategy.
