Sinopse

Mobility Training Basics explores the crucial, often overlooked, role of mobility in athletic performance, injury prevention, and overall well-being. It emphasizes that mobility, distinct from flexibility, is about moving freely and efficiently by optimizing joint health and movement patterns. Did you know that limitations in mobility can lead to compensatory movements, hindering progress and increasing injury risk? This book bridges the gap between traditional stretching and modern movement-based approaches.

 
The book uniquely integrates range of motion with motor control, stability, and neuromuscular coordination, offering a holistic approach to fitness. It systematically progresses from fundamental principles to detailed exercises categorized by joint and movement, culminating in a practical framework for incorporating mobility training into existing fitness programs.

 
Ultimately, the book empowers athletes, coaches, and anyone interested in improving their movement quality to unlock their body's full potential.

My Mets Bible - Scoring 30 Years...

Evan Roberts

A Love Letter To New York Mets Fandom—the triumphs, the heartbreak, and everything in between. 
 
Childhood for Evan Roberts was defined by outings to the old Shea Stadium with his father, always with a scorebook in hand. What began as a gameday ritual replete with misspelled player names and scrawled symbols turned into an obsession with scoring every game he watched, one which persisted as Roberts rose through the ranks at WFAN. Taken together, those scorebooks form a living, breathing Mets diary spanning 30 years of thrilling—and, at times, tortured—fandom. 
 
My Mets Bible is an exercise in memory and nostalgia, and a meditation on the things that stick with us as sports fans. With his personal scorecards as a guide, Roberts brings to life some of the most unforgettable moments in Mets lore, offering a fresh perspective on the highs and lows of being a die-hard fan.  
 
Meticulously kept history mixes with personal recollections and behind-thescenes anecdotes covering touchstone events such as Johan Santana’s no-hitter, Robin Ventura’s grand slam “single,” and the loss that Roberts has never quite gotten over. By turns heartfelt and hilarious, Roberts delivers a thrilling and unique journey through modern Mets history.
