This book also responds to critics of falconry and offers a robust ethical defense of the sport from an internationally recognized teacher of philosophy and debate. Regardless of the reader’s experience with falconry or style of hawking, everyone will walk away from this book with a richer understanding of what makes the sport worth pursuing and how it fits into an examined, ethical, and worthwhile life.

  Strength Training for Runners -...

  Strength training has long been overlooked by runners who often focus solely on logging miles and improving endurance. However, integrating strength training into a runner’s routine is essential for enhancing performance, building resilience, and reducing the risk of injuries. This chapter introduces the foundational concepts of strength training specifically tailored for runners, highlighting why it is a vital component of a well-rounded training program. 
  Runners rely on efficient biomechanics, which depend heavily on strong, balanced muscles. Strength training targets key muscle groups, such as the core, glutes, hamstrings, and calves, which play pivotal roles in running form and power generation. Strengthening these areas not only improves running efficiency but also helps to correct imbalances that may lead to overuse injuries. 
  In addition to preventing injuries, strength training can significantly boost a runner's speed and endurance. Building stronger muscles allows for greater force production, which translates to a more powerful stride. Moreover, improved muscular endurance means that a runner can maintain optimal form and energy output over longer distances, delaying the onset of fatigue.

  A Life-Changing Book About the Power of FEARLESS Thinking 
   
   
   
  You will never achieve any important goal until you first defeat the fears that stand between you and that goal—the fears that say it's too risky, you don't deserve it, or you're not good enough. 
   
   
   
  In fact, fearful thinking is one of the most destructive thought patterns you can fall into. Whenever you find yourself worrying, procrastinating, or questioning your potential—FEAR is getting the best of you. 
   
   
   
  In this inspirational fable, Mickey McGavin is a pro boxer struggling to overcome the fears that are holding him back—in the ring and in life. With the help of a former world champion who becomes his trainer and mentor, McGavin learns he must defeat the fears in his mind before he can defeat his opponents in the ring. 
   
   
   
  Boxing is the metaphor for life in this story, but the techniques used for defeating fear are universal. 
   
   
   
  No matter your goal, FEAR is your ultimate opponent, and this book will show you how to defeat the fears that hold you back from living the life you were born to live. 
   
   
   
  Listen to this life-changing book and discover why victory—in sports, in business, and in life—always favors the fearless.
