Summary

Learn to Run Free, Have Fun, and Shape Your Life 
Feeling free. Is there a better feeling than that? It is there anything better than feeling your body testing its limits, showing off incredibly abilities like a finely-honed machine? In our 9 to 5 lifestyles, many of us don't get to experience the exhilarating freedom of free running. Our bodies are chained to desks, our spirits are slave to a clock. But deep down in each one of us we have that ability to break free, to test our limits. 
Parkour tests these abilities, test the absolute limits of the human body. And the results are absolutely remarkable. When you train in parkour, massive changes happen for you both physically and mentally. You get back in touch with how incredible our natural bodies are, how many of us are being held back from our true potential because of our modern lifestyle. And the best thing, nothing is quite as exhilarating and exciting as parkour. 
Jeff Boyer serves as your guide through the world of parkour, offering you the ultimate training, teaching you how to not only prepare yourself physically for the rigors of parkour, but also mentally. Break free today, and let parkour take you to a physical level of fitness you have never reached before.

    This revised guide presents top-class walking routes in Northern Ireland. From rugged mountain peaks to spectacular coastal scenery, from challenging hill walks to shorter woodland and waterside excursions, there is something for everyone. Every part of the region is covered, from the mountains of Mourne to the Giant's Causeway, from Fermanagh's 'lake district' to the rolling Sperrins. Routes vary from two-hour strolls to eight-hour upland challenges. Much thought has gone into making this guide easy to use: each route, prefaced with a quick-reference summary, is illustrated with a clear sketch map; descriptions include detailed access information while points of interest are highlighted – flora and fauna, history, archaeology and folklore. A compact region with huge scenic variety, Northern Ireland is ideal for walking yet is often overlooked. This authoritative guide is changing that, using the author's enthusiasm and knowledge.

    Have you dreamed about becoming a scratch golfer? Do you wish that you could casually and consistently score in the low 70’s or even sneak in a round under par? 
    Well, let me tell you that is definitely possible with hard work, determination and these principles to help you finally breakthrough in golf. 
    You may be thinking...I’m shooting in the 90’s, there is no way I can become a scratch golfer. 
    I disagree -- why? 
    Within five years I was able to go from shooting a 122 to shooting a 72. Yes, I was able to score 50 shots better in a matter of years. 
    I’d love to say it’s as easy as “follow these five steps” or “shoot par golf tomorrow” but it would be a lie. Golf, as you know, is the hardest sport in the world. It also happens to be the most rewarding. Success doesn’t happen overnight but if you master certain skills you will set yourself up to score much better and become a scratch golfer in the long run. 
    This book is your blueprint to success -- here’s what you’ll learn: 
    - The drills that pros use to refine their game and how you can implement into your routine 
    - How to finally straighten your driver and give yourself more opportunities 
    - Learn to eliminate negative thoughts and use your mind to change your game forever 
    - How to play great under pressure with visualizations and a consistent routine 
    Start learning the secrets of becoming a scratch golfer from someone who has done it!

    “A powerful guide for both parents and coaches who want kids to have fun, enjoyable, and meaningful youth sporting experiences . . . I highly recommend it!” —John Ballantine, president and co-founder, Kids in the Game  
     
    The modern-day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of thirteen, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids. 
     
    “Changing the Game is, well, a game changer. It explores in both depth and breadth the youth sports experience, its blood, sweat, and tears. Any parent who wants their children to gain the physical, psychological, emotional, and social benefits of what sport has to offer (and isn’t that every parent!) better read this book. It will make you a better sports parent, and it will ensure that your children get all the good stuff and avoid most of the bad stuff from participating in sports.” —James Taylor, Ph.D., author of Positive Pushing: How to Raise a Successful and Happy Child

    On the 23rd of May 2019, Hakan Bulgurlu became one of the fortunate few to have reached the summit of Mount Everest. To stand on top of the world’s highest mountain is a humbling experience, to bear witness to nature at its most awe-inspiring and powerful is even more humbling. Bulgurlu’s quest to climb Everest came with a purpose: making the environment the centre of his ambition to highlight the catastrophic effect climate change is having on our planet, to lead by example and to seek out practical solutions. He wanted to use the expedition as a wake-up call to what we are doing to the natural world.  
    In his powerful new book, Bulgurlu tells the fascinating story of this adventure of a lifetime, harrowing and exhilarating in equal measure. He delves into the roots of the environmental crisis we find ourselves in, speaking to climate activists and campaigners, biologists, scientists, filmmakers, academics, economists, entrepreneurs, global leaders and innovators. They help shed light on the issues that we face and the solutions that will help secure a better future for generations to come. In this gripping account of his journey, Bulgurlu describes the challenges he faced in reaching the summit, and the challenges we all face in protecting the planet and the future of humanity.
