Soccer Grannies - The South...

Jean Duffy

The inspirational story of an amazing group of soccer-playing South African “grannies”.
In rural South African, beloved humanitarian “Mama Beka” defied social convention and started a soccer team for the women in her community. The Soccer Grannies, as they came to be known, won over their families and villages who at first rejected the idea of older women playing soccer, and that single team quickly grew into dozens. Soon, the strength, tenacity, and pure joy of the Soccer Grannies had captured the attention of the world.
In Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World, Jean Duffy, a soccer-playing mom herself, recounts how she and her team set to work to bring the Soccer Grannies to the U.S. after hearing their incredible story. Despite many obstacles that stand in their way, the Soccer Grannies finally arrive, and Jean describes the wonderful friendships and cultural exchanges that follow. But Soccer Grannies tells more than just the physical journey of the South African women; it also details the Grannies’ personal journeys, sharing poignant insights into the realities of women living in South Africa.
Life beyond the pitch has not been easy for the Grannies. They have persevered through apartheid, rampant poverty and unemployment, the loss of children to AIDS, domestic abuse, and more. But with the friendship and support of their fellow Soccer Grannies, these women face life’s challenges with dignity, humor, and hope. Their stories show to the world the power of sport and its unique ability to bring people and cultures together.

1978 - Baseball and America in...

David Krell

From spring training to the World Series, 1978 gave baseball fans one of the sport's greatest seasons, full of legendary moments like the battle between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox for the American League East pennant, Gaylord Perry's three thousandth strikeout, Tom Seaver's only career no-hitter, Willie McCovey's five hundredth home run, and Pete Rose's marathon forty-four-game hitting streak. The 1978 season played out against a backdrop of disco music, bell-bottom pants, and gas-guzzling cars, while Hollywood answered a desperate longing for a simpler time with nostalgic offerings such as Grease, The Buddy Holly Story, American Hot Wax, Animal House, and Superman. Robin Williams became a household name with a guest appearance on the popular TV show Happy Days, Atlantic City debuted its first casino, and Jill Clayburgh symbolized the emerging independence of women in An Unmarried Woman. 
 
 
 
In a memorable end to the baseball season, Reggie Jackson and Bucky Dent led the Yankees to their second consecutive World Series over the Dodgers after losing the first two games, then winning four in a row. David Krell breaks down major events in both baseball and American culture in 1978, chronicling the notable achievements of some of the greatest players of the era, along with some of the quirkiest moments, to capture an extraordinary year in baseball.

Peak Performance - Training...

Zane Ryder

Peak performance is the state in which an athlete performs at the highest possible level, maximizing their physical, mental, and emotional potential. It’s not just about physical ability; it’s about the integration of mind and body working in harmony to achieve excellence. Whether in elite sports or personal goals, reaching peak performance requires a deep understanding of one’s strengths, weaknesses, and the effort required to reach new heights. 
The concept of peak performance goes beyond just winning. It’s about consistently performing at a level that exceeds the average, often under pressure, with focus, endurance, and determination. To perform at this level, athletes need to cultivate resilience and adaptability, continuously evolving their training and mindset. The science of peak performance includes elements such as mental toughness, discipline, strategy, and recovery. It’s a holistic approach that recognizes the critical role both the physical and psychological components play in success. 
An athlete must understand their body and its needs, the optimal training practices that push their limits while preventing burnout, and how to remain mentally focused through challenges. The key to maintaining peak performance involves not just physical preparation but also mental preparation. Elite athletes recognize the importance of mental training—visualization, confidence, and managing stress are all integral parts of an athlete’s journey to peak performance.
