Sinossi

After first emerging in the 1920s, ladies Gaelic football was soon sidelined; breathless women chasing after a football was just too unladylike for the powers that be.
Despite this resistance, the sport became a popular novelty act at local carnivals. And when the Ladies Gaelic

Football Association (LGFA) was founded in Tipperary in July 1974, fifty years of extraordinary growth were set in motion. From writing the rule book to a membership of nearly 200,000, the earliest All-Stars to game-changing partnerships, this definitive history captures that unstoppable journey to becoming a national sport and so much more.
Lavishly illustrated and drawing from national, club and personal archives, UNLADYLIKE is for the players, the fans, the kit-washers, the sandwich-makers and the supporters alike, and confirms the best is yet to come.

    Soccer, known as football in most parts of the world, is one of the most popular and widely played sports across the globe. It is a game that transcends cultures, bringing people together through the love of competition and teamwork. To understand soccer, it is essential to explore its rich history, learn the basics of the game, and familiarize yourself with its rules and positions. 
    The origins of soccer can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where various forms of ball games were played. Modern soccer, as we know it today, began to take shape in England during the 19th century. It quickly gained popularity and spread internationally, becoming the universal sport it is now. The simplicity of the game—a ball and a field—makes it accessible to players of all ages and backgrounds, contributing to its enduring appeal. 
    At its core, soccer is played by two teams, each consisting of eleven players. The objective is to score goals by getting the ball into the opposing team’s net while defending your own. Matches are typically divided into two halves of 45 minutes each, with additional time added for stoppages. The team with the most goals at the end of the match wins. If the score is tied, extra time or penalty shootouts may be used to determine a winner, depending on the competition.

    If “Top Gun: Maverick” or “Ford Versus Ferrari” kept your attention, “Go! The Bettenhausen Story” will keep you riveted.  What prompts these men to climb into small spaces and propel themselves at death defying speeds?  Subtitled “A Race Against A Dream,” this audiobook attempts to answer that question through the eyes of the Bettenhausen family, one of the greatest racing families in the history of the sport of automobile racing.  Whether a casual or passionate racing fan, you’ll be fascinated at the closeup of the racing industry as this book chronicles its growth from the 1930s to the 1980s through the eyes of patriarch Tony Bettenhausen and his three racing sons as they conduct “A Race Against A Dream.”As the author Carl Hungness writes, “It’s not the win at Indy the racers want, it’s the challenge.  The way of life.  It’s the feeling that can’t be conveyed until it’s experienced.  What makes the breed of man they call a race car driver tick?  Some respect them and others pity them.  Don’t pity them; they’ve seen the consequences.  They all think they’ll beat the odds.  For some, driving in the race is living and everything else is just waiting.  They’re more alive inside the car than out of it.”A very small percentage of humans will experience the peril and thrill of the Indy 500, an annual spectacle that fuels the dreams of men and women alike seeking the thunderous adrenaline rush that the race provides.  This audiobook dares to drive you close to experiencing “the aura surrounding the fervor for driving a race car.”  Buckle up- it’s quite a ride.
