  Named a Kirkus “Best Books of 2022” 
  “An engrossing account of the entrepreneur—and the bra—that changed women’s sports.” —Kirkus Reviews 
  “With cogent reflections on American cultural history and the shifts that laid the groundwork for women’s liberation, Lindahl weaves a narrative that is both intimate and topical....[A]n inspiring narrative about changing the world through fearless innovation.” —Publisher’s Weekly, BookLife Prize 
  “…an extraordinary narrative that should be added to every bookshelf….Lindahl’s five-star account will provide inspiration, comfort, laughter, and community….” —San Francisco Book Review 
  The 1970s saw women coming into their own, working hard to create new roles at home and in sports, culture, politics, and business. It was also the start of the “fitness revolution.” At this unique intersection of feminism and athleticism, Lisa Lindahl’s game-changing entrepreneurial journey began. 
  She invented the first sports bra, the “Jogbra,” in 1977. It was the right product at the right time, throwing Lisa into a high-stakes world of business and power—a world for which she was not fully prepared. Unleash the Girls is the improbable story of a young artist with a disability who used her powers of creativity to solve a vexing problem and ended up leveling the playing field for girls and women across the globe—literally, unleashing the girls. 
  Her invention would become a feminist icon and the company she founded would change an industry. But amid the success, Lisa continued to search for meaning and the true nature of power and beauty. This is the untold story of the invention of the sports bra and how it changed the world for girls and women...and, along the way, changed Lisa, too.

  Eric Haughan deep-dives into Dublin's seven years in footballing nirvana, an era of dominance and drama in which Gaelic football changed forever.

  Formed by a group of teachers nearly 150 years ago in 1879, Sunderland AFC have a long and storied history in English football. The club has won six top-flight titles, only five other teams have won more, and they have lifted the FA Cup twice - once in 1937 and once in 1973.

  Drawing on interviews with key players, managers and staff members, esteemed club historian Rob Mason delves into Sunderland's 150-year history, charting the glorious highs and the ignominious lows to trace how the Black Cats have come to dominate football in the North-East.

  Beyond the Finish Line - Mental...

  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.
