  Produced by Dr. Elliott Haimoff, Barbara Sharp, Alina Butina and Randy FriendThis audiobook contains the UNIQUE unfiltered, unedited, and previously unreleased interviews conducted by Dr. Elliott Haimoff of Afterburner Enterprises of the long-time LA Lakers owner, Dr. Jerry Buss, and his daughter, Jeanie Buss, who is now the President and controlling owner of the Lakers.  These two iconic figures collectively changed the game of pro basketball as we now know it, and altered the entire landscape of pro sports entertainment. They put the “Show” in “Showtime”, representing the gold standard for all sports teams in all pro sports leagues around the world.  However, Jerry & Jeanie have never previously told the back-story to the early days of their sports team ownership, before all the glitz and glam and Hall of Fame players.  Their true creative genius is brought here to the public from their own recollections and in their own words of those kinder gentler days of yesteryear.   There are several other previously unreleased interviews with basketball and sports icons interviewed here who all had an effect on the Buss family that’s included here - Dennis Murphy, Mitch Kupchak, Bill Sharman, Claire Rothman, and Michael Shapiro.  The introduction and epilogue are presented by John Ireland, the long-time LA Lakers announcer and “Voice of the Lakers”.

  Fitness Motivation - Staying...

  This book contains four titles related to fitness: 
  Fitness Motivation: Fitness motivation is a powerful driving force that pushes individuals to set goals, stay committed, and achieve their desired outcomes. It’s more than just a fleeting burst of enthusiasm – it’s a mindset, a lifestyle that can help you overcome obstacles and stay on track, even when the going gets tough. To truly harness the power of motivation, it’s important to first understand its role in the context of fitness. 
  The Ultimate Fitness Challenge: Fitness challenges are an exciting and empowering way to push the boundaries of your physical and mental capabilities. They offer a structured environment to test your limits and improve your overall health. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting on your fitness journey, taking on a fitness challenge provides an opportunity to grow, overcome obstacles, and develop a deeper understanding of what your body and mind are truly capable of. 
  The Science of Muscle Growth: Muscle growth, also known as muscle hypertrophy, is a complex process influenced by various factors including exercise, nutrition, genetics, and recovery. Understanding how muscles grow is essential for anyone looking to enhance their physique or improve physical performance. 
  The Science of Speed: The human body consists of two primary types of muscle fibers: fast-twitch and slow-twitch. Sprinters predominantly utilize fast-twitch fibers, which generate rapid and powerful contractions but fatigue quickly. These fibers enable the quick acceleration and high-speed bursts necessary for short-distance races. Marathon runners, on the other hand, rely more on slow-twitch fibers, which are highly resistant to fatigue and support prolonged, steady-state activity.
