The following book is an interesting glimpse about the types of sports that were popular amongst the frontiersmen of the U.S. in the early days of the country. Fascinatingly enough, the book is written from the perspective of a German traveler and novelist, Friedrich Gerstäcker.
Mental toughness is one of the most significant qualities that separates elite athletes from the rest. It is the inner strength that enables individuals to push through challenges, rise above setbacks, and perform at their highest level despite the mental and physical demands of competition. But what exactly is mental toughness, and why is it so crucial in sports? At its core, mental toughness refers to the ability to maintain a positive mindset, focus under pressure, and persist in the face of adversity. It’s not just about enduring pain or fatigue but also about staying resilient when things don’t go as planned. Athletes with mental toughness embrace challenges as opportunities for growth, which is what allows them to keep going when others might falter. It’s a quality that empowers individuals to conquer their doubts, maintain confidence in their abilities, and perform consistently, no matter the circumstances. The role of resilience in sports cannot be understated. Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. In competitive sports, athletes will inevitably face moments of failure, disappointment, or frustration. A mentally tough athlete doesn't let these setbacks define them. Instead, they bounce back with determination, learning from mistakes and using those experiences to fuel future success. This resilience isn’t just physical; it’s mental. It’s the strength to push past the urge to quit, to stay committed to long-term goals, and to persevere when the outcome seems uncertain.Mostra libro
Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer. Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.Mostra libro

An audiobook like no other from one of the beautiful game’s most charismatic managers “From eccentric kit men to ghosts. From tea ladies to cats and dogs. From UFOs to moments in football that I will never forget – or in some cases live down…” Nobody does offbeat like Ian Holloway – known to one and all in football as ‘Ollie’. He has been dubbed as ‘inspirational’ by those who played for him, a ‘genius’ by those who owned the clubs he managed and made huge profits for, and a loveable rogue by football fans in general. Now, he turns that wisdom, passion for the game – and occasional feistiness – into a reflection of football that only he could provide. With over 100 topics covering everything from VAR to the Saudi Pro League – from FFP to man-buns, mullets, playing from the back, pundits, the penchant for employing German youth coaches nobody has heard of, plus American ownership, The (mostly) Football World According to Ollie is a one-stop shop to the bonkers world of football and so much more. Add in the odd curveball of fishing, dad dancing, karaoke and his genuine love of women’s football and you have the perfect read or gift for any football fan.Mostra libro
