    There is No Finish introduces the exploding world of the Backyard Ultra. Birthed from the high school musings of Lazarus Lake, renowned for the Barkley Marathons, the running event has spread globally—to over eighty countries— with sky-rocketing numbers. 
    Runners have up to one hour to complete a 4.1-mile lap. At the start of the next hour, again they attempt to complete the same lap. The race keeps going, with no finish, until all except one person gives up. The winner is the last one standing who does one lap more than anyone else. 
    With participants running until they drop, every race becomes an enthralling adventure with epic stories. Stephen Parker dives deep into the Backyard Ultra scene, running events, crewing for others, and exploring its amazing history. With races in Belgium, the USA, Australia, Sweden, Canada, Finland, South Africa, and many more, the book shares the agony and adrenaline of battles between colourful characters in stunning settings. 
    If there is no finish, how far can you run?

    Tales of the Autistic Village Cricketer is the neurologically ‘different’ slant of eye-opening, blunt and frankly, funny collection of completely true memoirs that have happened in my cricketing life. Starting from 2003, it initially outlines myself as a young cricketer, and how autism affected my participation; often with chuckle-inducing results! From the humorous stories involving our Margate junior skipper, Ollie Robinson of Sussex CCC fame, to abjectly refusing to remove my footwear as I entered the Horsham pavilion, and being jovially mocked due to my compelling urge of forcing a fart and sniffing the ball before bowling! But crucially, by publishing the story of my life through this cricketing lens, it gives a frank re-telling of how cricket, and the friends met solely through it, has given a socially difficult high-functioning autistic, the chance to experience life as it is intended. From the awkward opening partnership with Zak Crawley, to my first visit to a crowded nightclub and subsequently passing out, my ‘blunt and to the point’ discussion with a stripper, and the hilarious events that transpired when I lost my virginity!

    From the euphoria of the gridiron, to the depths of stress, isolation and depression - and back again. 
     
    For as long as he can remember, BJ Daniels ate, slept and breathed football. He became a star quarterback at the University of South Florida and went on to play professionally in the NFL, winning the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. 
     
    In many ways, it seemed like BJ was living every athlete's dream. However, he also saw first-hand the lows that accompany being a football player at the highest level. The mental health struggles both he and his teammates faced – often in silence – have inspired a new passion and purpose in him: to share his story, from setbacks to success, and encourage others to face their wellbeing head-on. 
     
    Here, with raw vulnerability, through his own lived experience, BJ explores the importance of resilience, mindset, dedication, passion and perseverance – all of which can help you to rise above your circumstances. 
     
    This audiobook embodies BJ’s mission to "Leave No One Behind", and shows us that, beyond all our obstacles, there’s a life worth living.

    Amidst an uncertain world in constant flux, it’s easy to see the value of the chess player’s special skills: thinking ahead, taking preparatory moves, maintaining deep concentration, thinking outside themselves, and staying goal-oriented.  
    These skills are not easily acquired; they require consistent effort, practice, mental discipline, and patience. However, these skills are essential for success in professional and personal life. Rushing into decisions or actions without careful consideration can lead to mistakes, missed opportunities, and downright messy situations. 
    In addition to enhancing discipline and patience, playing chess can be a valuable exercise in mindfulness. By immersing oneself in the game and giving it their full attention, one can learn to be more present and engaged in every moment of life.    
    Many resources are available online to learn and practice chess, such as chess.com and Lichess. With a plethora of videos, tutorials, and other resources, one can understand the tactics and strategies of chess at their own pace and convenience. But remember: the key is to play to learn and cultivate the skills rather than memorize patterns or become good at chess for the sake of being good at chess.  
    So, next time you have a spare moment, consider focusing on these skills during a chess game. And in all your endeavors, remember the importance of discipline, patience, and mindfulness. Doing so may only sometimes lead to victory in chess but will always, undoubtedly, lead to growth and personal development in life.
