  Most golfers approach the tee with a complex mental package: worries and judgments about their swing, the other person's swing, the course, the weather, looking good, looking bad. They think about what's wrong instead of what's possible, and this is what Extraordinary Golf teaches: the art of the possible. Drawing on his experience teaching both amateurs and professionals for more than fifteen years, in his clinics around the country, in his Golf in the Kingdom seminars at the Esalen Institute, and at his own School for Extraordinary Golf in California, Shoemaker shows how extraordinary golf can be coached, learned, and practiced, with results not only in people's scores but in their sheer pleasure in the game. Combining a host of practical exercises with an entirely new point of view, he demonstrates how to focus not on the voices in your head but on the reality of golf: the club, the ball, your body, the course—the elements that actually make up your game. He shows how to approach shots creatively, instead of mechanically; how to read greens simply by staying awake; how to develop a powerful and consistent swing by rediscovering trust for your instincts; and how to improve yourself in competition by determining what you're competing for. He also gives simple guidelines on how to coach yourself, your spouse, and your children successfully.

  Raising an Athlete - The Real...

  The most important moment in youth sports happens in the car ride home—not on the field. 
  As a sports parent, you know the feeling. Your child walks off the field quieter than usual, shoulders tight, and you want to help. But what should you say? Most parents don't realize that the invisible work—how you respond to failure, when you stay quiet, and what you reinforce in those small moments—shapes whether your child builds real confidence or carries pressure that follows them off the field. 
  Raising An Athlete is not about developing professional players. It's about raising humans who understand themselves, handle pressure with grace, and know their worth isn't tied to wins or stats. 
  Through real stories and the proven Car Ride Method™ framework, Kayla Lee Bailey shows you exactly how to navigate the complex role of being a sports parent—without adding weight to what your athlete already carries. You'll discover why the invisible scoreboard matters more than the one everyone's watching, how to build real confidence through failure, recognize burnout before it's too late, and help your athlete see themselves as more than their sport. 
  Because raising an athlete isn't about the sport. It's about the human.

  Legacy

  Powerful memoir of cricket, family and depression by former England cricketer Nick Compton. 
  Nick Compton had it all. A literal golden boy, to many observers it would seem that he was born to be a great in the sporting arena coming as he did from an incredible sporting ancestry. HIs grandfather Sir Denis Compton played cricket for England and football for Arsenal. 
   
  Honed at an elite English boarding school, with a telegenic profile perfectly suited to the modern media environment, Nick appeared to be blessed with that rare ability to be able to stride out and face down the world's quickest bowlers, to survive and thrive in the danger zone at the hands of the hurtling new ball. 
   
  However, greatness in any field comes at a price and this memoir explores the almost 'Faustian pact' he made in order to secure that time in the sun. It will show what 'Mistress Cricket' demanded from Nick as his side of that bargain. The family he left behind, the failed relationships both personal and professional and the utter physical and mental exhaustion which resulted from his drive to stay at the top.

  The Horse Lover's Miscellany -...

  All manner of equines helped build our roads, our villages, towns and cities. They were, for centuries, virtually the only means of getting ourselves and our goods from A to B. They became a part of our folklore and the subject of many an artist's painting. They went to war, tilled the land and brought in the harvest, carried us in sporting activities and nowadays often facilitate our enjoyment in leisure activities. The Horse Lover's Miscellany celebrates this thinking by including fascinating, amusing, quirky and practical information likely to be of interest to every weekend rider, horse owner (both aspiring and current) and enthusiastic equestrian. The author focuses on many aspects; from equine ancestry to equine epitaphs; from dressage to showjumping; carriage driving to ploughing matches; pony clubs to polo and much more besides. It's an eclectic mix of fact, moving tales of endurance in the harshest conditions, eccentricity, quotes, amusing anecdotes and 'I never knew that' snippets from both times past and the present day.
