As an SEC football official and successful business leader, Chris Garner gives readers an unprecedented look inside the high-pressure world of officiating, where every call matters and every play walks the line between “almost” and “actual” infractions.

  Defeat is not in the athlete’s vocabulary.  It is in their spirit. 
  How have sports evolved from a healthy expression of talent and prowess into a relentless vortex that grinds that talent into the athlete’s internal, secret defeat?  Anymore, this truth is like watching a funnel cloud develop before it advances into an F-5 tornado.  Most of us recognize it.  Most of us talk about it.  But few are willing to acknowledge and heed its warning. 
  1000% is the book that will take you into the aftermath of this reality.  It is not intended to diminish the brilliance and opportunity that sports provide.  Not at all.  This book will reconstruct the life of the athlete and expose the destructive forces that contribute to this concealed sense of defeat, fear, and mental health issues that many athletes secretly battle.  This book will also lead the athlete into a powerful revelation of their purpose as it provides answers for their hidden fears and sets them on a path to understand and overcome these adverse forces. 
  If you are an athlete, this book is for you.  The message woven throughout these pages is intended to reach you, offer understanding, and provide help.  These words will perhaps be your voice and weapon against an enemy that is trying to steal your identity, claim your spirit, and ultimately defeat you.  But… 
  THE VICTORY BELONGS TO YOU!

  Marianne Bohr and her husband, about to turn sixty, are restless for adventure. They decide on an extended, desolate trek across the French island of Corsica—the GR20, Europe’s toughest long-distance footpath—to challenge what it means to grow old. Part travelogue, part buddy story, part memoir, The Twenty is a journey across a rugged island of stunning beauty little known outside Europe. 
  From a chubby, non-athletic child, Bohr grew into a fit, athletic person with an “I’ll show them” attitude. But hiking The Twenty forces her to transform a lifetime of hard-won achievements into acceptance of her body and its limitations. The difficult journey across a remote island provides the crucible for exploring what it means to be an aging woman in a youth-focused culture, a physically fit person whose limitations are getting the best of her, and the partner of a husband who is growing old with her. More than a hiking tale, The Twenty is a moving story infused with humor about hiking, aging, accepting life’s finite journey, and the intimacy of a long-term marriage—set against the breathtaking beauty of Corsica’s rugged countryside.

If you understand fly-casting mechanics and how to adapt them to various fishing conditions, your casting will greatly improve.

A section on the physical movements explains how to prevent injuries to the rotator cuff and elbow.

Lefty is the master, and this book captures his lifetime of wisdom on the subject of casting. “Lefty Kreh is well known for his quick smile and sharp wit, his encyclopedic knowledge of knots and tackle, his decades of fly-fishing exploration around the globe, and his remarkable prowess with a fly rod, but his greatest gift to fly fishers is his role as a teacher and mentor.” —John Randolph
