Summary

Eve Muirhead got her fairy tale career conclusion – an Olympic gold medal to complete the set.
The Perthshire farmer's daughter, multi-talented in sport, inherited her father's love of, and talent for, the 'roaring game' of curling. The road from child prodigy to best in the world wasn't a straight line, however. This is the story of hidden adversity, sporting escapism, inner doubt and external pressure.
Teammates and coaches changed but the resolve of Britain's Ice Queen to fight for her golden ending at a fourth and final Winter Olympics refused to melt. Eve Muirhead changed her sport and will now change perceptions of what it took to become a leader, a role model and a national icon as one of Scotland's most successful ever athletes.
This is her story.
Available since: 09/18/2025.

    A must-have book to reap major-league benefits! 
    What’s The Endgame is a guidebook designed to help families navigate youth baseball, written by former All-American outfielder at Kansas State University and professional baseball player Sean Collins, who was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in 1989. 
    This book is packed with over three decades of wisdom to help young ballplayers maximize their baseball dreams and guide parents through the journey, including: 
    ● Insights on the types of levels that are appropriate 
    ● Clearly defining their ballplayer’s role 
    ● Recognizing expectations going into a season 
    ● Principles that have helped ballplayers 
    What's the Endgame provides one-of-a-kind insights on how to pursue a baseball career, whether it’s playing for a major college baseball program or making it to big-league stadiums. 
    A note from Coach Collins: “I wish I had this book in my life when I was pursuing my baseball dreams. I had a lot of success, but there were also many mistakes made because I did not have anyone in my life early on who had the experience and know-how that could help me. That's what What’s the Endgame is designed to be. Readers will be able to define an endgame for their child’s journey from practice to team ball, and much more. Parents will be able to define the ‘why’ of what they are doing.” 
    Readers should look at this book as if they are the hardware and the information in this book is the software—a guidebook to keep handy. Let my years of successes, pain, and suffering be your guide as you help your young ballplayer chase their dreams.
