Beschreibung

"Tallest Athletes" explores the extraordinary world of towering figures in sports and how their exceptional height influences their athletic careers. It examines the physiological advantages, such as increased leverage and reach, alongside the unique challenges these athletes face. Did you know that some of the tallest athletes have had to adapt their training regimens significantly to accommodate their unique biomechanics? The book also looks at how cultural perceptions and societal expectations affect opportunities for tall athletes across different sports, like basketball, volleyball, and rowing. This book offers a blend of sports biography and sports science, diving into topics such as the genetics of height and conditions like gigantism and acromegaly. It emphasizes that while height offers a competitive edge, success depends on combining physical gifts with rigorous training, mental strength, and strategic adaptation.

 
Organized into three sections, the book first introduces height as a competitive advantage, then presents biographical portraits, and finally analyzes the broader implications of height in sports. The book provides a fresh perspective by combining scientific analysis with compelling personal stories. It uses sports medicine research, biographical data, and statistical analysis to provide a holistic understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of exceptional height in sports, making it valuable for sports enthusiasts, athletes, and coaches alike.

    You see yourself playing overseas at some point, which is why you got this audiobook. Good. 
    Here, I’m sharing essential tips about playing overseas basketball that you may never otherwise have been told - until you were on the wrong end of this information (which is how I learned all this stuff). 
    Wouldn't it be much better to know some things ahead of time? 
    I created my pro basketball career after graduating an NCAA Division III school, were I was a six-foot-four power forward/center who didn’t even play on the basketball team as a senior. 
    I knew less than nothing about playing overseas when I got out of college. I went through many years and thousands of dollars of learning to know what I now share with millions of athletes worldwide. That learning, fortunately, paid off in me putting together a nine-year resume that took me through eight countries playing basketball professionally. Though it was never a perfectly smooth ride, the successes more than made up for the down times. 
    If I could do it coming from less than nothing and keep it going for nine years, you can, too. 
    You can read more about me on my website or the Overseas Basketball Blueprint course page if you wish; this audiobook is about and for you. 
    A lot of players ask me a lot of questions about how to play professional basketball abroad; this is your primer for doing just that. When you’re ready to get the full-course meal, see The Overseas Basketball Blueprint for the entire nine-module course, which covers everything in detail.

    ‘An extraordinary treasure trove’ Andrew Marr 
    A unique collection of unpublished letters from the climbing legend George Mallory to his family, revealing his innermost thoughts about people, places and mountains. 
    On the 8th of June, 1924, George Mallory and Sandy Irvine were seen through a telescope on the upper slopes of Mount Everest. They were never seen alive again. In 1999, Mallory’s body was found below the ridge where he was last seen. In the 100 years since his disappearance, many words have been written about Mallory, but very little has ever been published of his own thoughts. 
    Letters from Everest is an eye opening set of personal letters from Mallory to his family, collected and published for the first time by his great-nephew. In the letters, Mallory is completely open about his life, his climbing and especially the three Everest Expeditions he was a part of – 1921, 1922 and the last in 1924. His writing is full of extraordinary insights – most of which have never been published in any form. They are a unique collection – an actual reflection, possibly the one and only, of the thoughts of a climbing legend who walked into history a century ago. 
    In this non-fiction biography, Mallory's letters reveal the raw and unfiltered thoughts of a man who dared to challenge nature. His experiences, his fears, his triumphs, all laid bare in this literary collection, make Letters from Everest a must-read for anyone fascinated by the world of mountaineering and exploration.

    Once described as the worst golfer never to have won a major, Mortimer Merriweather is a complex character with virtually nothing to show for 60 years of golf at the lowest level.
    Decades of abject failure to strike the ball properly undoubtedly fuelled his frustration and led ultimately to him venting his ire on individuals, companies and organisations connected with the game of golf in this remarkable series of 100 letters.
    The result is this hilarious book of his bizarre, insulting, unsettling and plain mad golfing ideas, all sent to famous hapless recipients, illustrated with occasional cartoons. 
    'Clive Agran is golf's funniest writer.' – John Hopkins, The Times
