Summary

Fastest Goals explores the thrilling phenomenon of lightning-quick scores in sports like soccer, hockey, and lacrosse. It delves into the records of early goals, examining the blend of skill, strategy, and luck behind these achievements. Uncover how an early goal can drastically alter team morale and opponent tactics, exemplifying the profound psychological impact of immediate success.

 
The book meticulously catalogs the fastest goals, then shifts focus to the tactical strategies and mental preparation that contribute to these rapid scores.

    Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.

    You Are Looking Live! is about the genesis, success, and magic of a live television show that in 1975 captured the excitement of the country, and launched four magnetic personalities to stardom: Brent Musburger, Phyllis George, Irv Cross, and Jimmy The Greek Snyder. It was the first NFL studio show to go live and the first to have both a Black and female cohost. Those four personalities battled each other and the competition, and America loved them for it. 
     
     
     
    This is the story of how Brent, Phyllis, Irv, and Jimmy got there, their drama and front-page headlines, and what happened to them after the magic ended. Those headlines included Brent and The Greek's famous fight at Peartrees, Phyllis first marrying the man who produced The Godfather, then dropping him after two months for the next governor of Kentucky, and the shocking firing of Musburger on April Fool's Day, 1990. 
     
     
     
    America had never seen a show like this before. The NFL Today became so popular that it not only dominated the ratings, but also won its timeslot eighteen straight years, from 1975 to 1993, until CBS lost its NFL package to Fox. And today, looking back, these four personalities, like any family, had their own battles, and became even more famous for them.

    "A MUST READ FOR EVERYONE." —Meb Keflezighi • "A BEAUTIFUL REFLECTION ON WHAT IT MEANS TO KEEP SHOWING UP." —Allyson Felix • "LEFT ME ON THE SIDELINES CHEERING." —Joan Benoit SamuelsonSara Hall shares the story of her record-breaking career and her unconventional path to motherhood via adoption, all while battling insecurities, injuries, and doubters.Sara Hall has been a fixture atop American distance running for more than two decades: first as a national high school champion, then as an NCAA star at Stanford University, and later, as the only pro runner to ever win U.S. titles in the mile and the marathon. She's held the American record in the half marathon, clocked the fastest marathon in the U.S. by a woman aged 40 or older, and represented her country in ​multiple World Championships.But success has never come easy. Fear of failure set in during high school. In college, Sara competed through a results-obsessed culture that carried into her professional career. She battled anxiety and imposter syndrome, alongside outside pressure to quit the sport and instead devote herself to supporting her husband, Olympic marathoner Ryan Hall, and later, her kids. Yet Sara never gave up on the dream of reaching her potential.Fueled by faith, family, and an unbridled love of exploring her limits, Sara has proven the doubters wrong at every turn. When she and Ryan adopted four daughters from Ethiopia, motherhood only made her faster, running personal bests year after year and landing on podiums at the world’s most competitive races. Along the way, she discovered that choosing love over fear allowed her to take risks. She let go of results and embraced the pursuit of excellence instead.For the Love of the Grind is a love letter to running, and the story of Sara’s growth as an athlete, wife, and mom. Through her unflinching honesty and keen introspection, readers will be inspired to chase their dreams, to reimagine what might still be possible, and to embrace their own love of the grind.

    Embarking on a fitness journey as a couple is more than just a way to stay active—it’s a path toward strengthening your relationship while improving your health. Sharing this experience allows you to build a deeper bond, develop trust, and create a partnership rooted in mutual support and growth. Whether you are just starting or looking to enhance your current routine, fitness as a couple can redefine how you connect with one another. 
    The benefits of working out together go beyond physical health. It fosters emotional closeness as you encourage and motivate each other. By setting shared goals, you create a sense of accountability that helps you stay consistent. Overcoming challenges as a team, such as completing a difficult workout or adhering to a nutrition plan, reinforces your ability to face obstacles in other aspects of life together. 
    A successful fitness journey begins with understanding your goals as individuals and as a couple. Open communication is key—discuss what each of you hopes to achieve and identify how your goals can align. One partner might aim to build strength, while the other may prioritize weight loss or improved endurance. Finding common ground ensures that your journey is collaborative rather than competitive.
