Summary

Training for the Olympic sport of weightlifting has become popular in recent years. This is true not only for competitive weightlifters, but also for participants in CrossFit and for athletes that are strength training for improved performance in other sports. Between the two lifts—the clean-and-jerk and the snatch—the most challenging to master is the snatch, a lift performed so quickly a novice might be unclear how the barbell went from the floor to overhead in one fluid motion. Harvey Newton, former USA Olympic team coach, explains the history of the snatch in its various forms, the equipment utilized for optimal performance, the most efficient method for quickly and safely learning to snatch, and models of training programs.
 
The Snatch not only provides a brief history of the lift and why it's an important part of training, but the variations on the lift, the equipment needs for learning and training, step-by-step safety instructions, and a model program for training the snatch. Finally, it includes links to video depictions of the lift featured on SportsEdTV, and the learning stages explained in the text.
 
Intended for the competitive weightlifter and the athlete looking to enhance his or her strength training regimen, The Snatch is the ultimate guidebook to this effective—and impressive—move.

Named for the illustrious Belmont family, the track has seen many exciting races since it opened in 1905. In addition to the eleven Triple Crown winners, Belmont Park has hosted legends of yesteryear—such as Man o’ War and Nashua—and modern-day superstars like Curlin and Rachel Alexandra. In addition to the Belmont Stakes, the track is home to other important races, including the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the “Met Mile,” and it periodically hosts the Breeder’s Cup. Join author Kimberly Gatto as she explores Belmont’s most exciting moments.

    In 1933 Maurice Wilson was a decorated but damaged WWI hero. With no reasonable use of his left arm and a severe case of PTSD Maurice wandered through life seeking direction and purpose. Though highly successful in business, he dreamed of doing something that would inspire the world. At 35 years old he decided on a goal. He he would fly a Bi-Plane from England to the slopes of Mount Everest, crash on the upper slopes and walk to the top and become the first person to stand on the summit of the worlds tallest mountain. His main obstacles were: he didn't know how to fly a plane, and he had no mountaineering experience. Learning to fly and then surviving on the mountain were inconveniences compared to the obstacles put up by the British government and the British mountaineering establishment. This is the story of inspiration, determination and naiveté. This is the story of Maurice Wilson.

    A collection of quotes, anecdotes, and malaprops from one of baseball’s wisest and wittiest personalities.  New York Times–bestselling author Phil Pepe takes readers along on Yogi Berra’s journey from St. Louis to New York’s Yankee Stadium, including all the stops along the way—from his days as a tack-puller in a women’s shoe factory, to a pre-game tribute in St. Louis, when he coined the phrase, “I want to thank all those that made this night necessary,” to his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Pepe explores Yogi Berra as a boy, player, hero, coach, manager, husband, father, and jokester, including all of the “Yogi-isms,” in an absorbing treatment that is simultaneously comical, thoughtful, and biographical.   Famous Yogi-isms:   - About a popular restaurant: “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” - On Little League Baseball: “I think it’s wonderful. It keeps the kids out of the house.” - On why the Yankees lost the 1960 World Series: “We made too many wrong mistakes.”
