  6 of 10 First Tee Nerves 
  Standing on the first tee of a competition can make even the most experienced of golfers feel nervous. For example, Justin Rose, a Major winner who has represented Europe in three Ryder Cup teams since 2008, admitted that he gets anxious every time he stands on the first tee of Ryder cup matches. As he said: “you never get accustomed to it. You don’t do it often enough to get comfortable”. This idea applies to all golfers – regardless of their ability level. Clearly, one reason why we feel nervous before our first shot in a competition is because we don’t play often enough in that situation. And because we want to get off the first tee as quickly as possible, we tend to swing too fast, which may produce the bad drive that we had feared. But take heart, almost every player feels anxious before a competition. And there are a number of practical steps outlined in this short audiobook which you can take to overcome this problem.

  Vindicated - Big Names Big Liars...

  Jose Canseco

  In 2005, Jose Canseco blew the lid off Major League Baseball's steroid scandal -- and no one believed him. His New York Times bestselling memoir Juiced met a firestorm of criticism and outrage from the media, coaches, clubs, and players, many of whom Canseco had personally introduced to steroids -- with a needle in the ass. Baseball's former golden boy, Rookie of the Year, onetime Most Valuable Player, and owner of two World Series rings was called a liar.  Now, steroids are back in the headlines. Record-breaking athletes are falling from grace, and the infamous Mitchell Report confirmed the names of major leaguers who have indeed used steroids while others remain under investigation. The answer is clear: Jose Canseco told the truth. And why wouldn't he? He started it all.  Finally, in Vindicated, Canseco picks up where Juiced left off, revealing details even more shocking than in his controversial first book. He spills never-before-implicated names -- arguably the biggest in the game of baseball -- and explores the mystery of one celebrated player about whom key information was suddenly excised from Juiced at the last minute. He talks candidly about what the Mitchell Report did -- and didn't -- get right, why steroid use became so rampant, and how his life has changed since he tore the lid off Pandora's box.  Lest there be any doubt about theveracity of his claims, Canseco subjected himself to three lie detector tests, one of which was conducted by a former FBI special agent and top polygraph examiner who investigated the Unabomber, Whitewater, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.  Transcripts of those taped interviews are also included in this straight-talking examination of the current state of baseball.  This time, he's not just out to clear his name. He's out to clean up the game.

  You get an actual Audiobook about the history of mixed martial arts and MMA figures as well as a mixed martial arts figures price guide combined in one book. 
  MMA, or mixed martial arts, is the hybrid contact sport that combines the best set of techniques from Muay Thai, karate, jujitsu, judo, wrestling, and boxing - just to name a few of the disciplines. Initially, MMA was considered to be a brutal blood sport because of its critics, but it slowly transitioned into a no-holds-barred competition, and it has maintained this persona to date. Nowadays, it has managed to move past 'the fastest-growing spectator sport' title into an internationally recognized and prosperous source of entertainment. You'll find MMA events being sanctioned in so many countries all over the world, along with all 50 states of the US. 
  Action figures aren't only for kids now. Popular shows like The Toys that Made Us illustrated the effect these collectibles have on cultures and people in recent times. This is why it is difficult to deny the fact that adults may drool over MMA action figures just as children would. Now, we aren't saying every MMA toy has achieved the status of a collector's item. We're trying to tell you that the ultimate collector's items are those that have managed to become somewhat of a modern cult phenomenon. So much so that there are already multiple fan groups across a wide array of international markets for these collectibles. 
  What some people may see as lumps of plastic are actually sources of joy and nostalgia for the millions of UFC fans out there. All of these people would agree that each of these items qualifies as a great trade-off for all the memories that were made on the mats and the octagon.
