Summary

'Harffy’s Dunston is a fantastic creation – old, creaking and misanthropic. The forest is beautifully evoked. A treat of a book' The Times. 
 
AD 838. Deep in the forests of Wessex, Dunston's solitary existence is shattered when he stumbles on a mutilated corpse. 
 
Accused of the murder, Dunston must clear his name and keep the dead man's daughter alive in the face of savage pursuers desperate to prevent a terrible secret from being revealed. 
 
Rushing headlong through Wessex, Dunston will need to use all the skills of survival garnered from a lifetime in the wilderness. And if he has any hope of victory against the implacable enemies on their trail, he must confront his long-buried past – becoming the man he once was and embracing traits he had promised he would never return to. The Wolf of Wessex must hunt again; honour and duty demand it. 
 
'A page-turner ... Matthew Harffy tells a great story' Joanna Hickson. 
 
'A breathtaking novel that sweeps the reader into a dark and dangerous world' Paul Fraser Collard. 
 
'Harffy's writing just gets better and better ... He is really proving himself the rightful heir to Gemmell's crown' Jemahl Evans. 
 
'Harffy has a real winner on his hands ... A genuinely superb novel' Steven McKay.

Firstly, we play on pitches that are so much better than they used to be. 4G technology means we have AstroTurf like the best laid grass, while outdoor grass pitch technology means drainage is maximized and wear minimized.On top of those physical conditions lending themselves to a dribbling game, defensive tactics are improved to such an extent that even weaker teams can compete with much stronger ones and hold the hope of keeping their more talented opponents from scoring. At all levels players are fitter, and coaches are better. Teams, even youth ones, are more organized.In order to break down a tough opposition, the need for individual brilliance grows. The superb shot, the defense splitting pass, the brilliantly worked set piece. And, of course, the individual skills of the dribbler.Here's What's Included In this Book:When to Dribble and When to Pass... and 5 Drills to Practice this SkillThe Best Dribbles to Create Space for YourselfThe Best Players and Situations on the Field to Dribble17 Individual Soccer Dribbling Skills and the corresponding drills to take your game to the next levelHow to Dribble for Tactical AdvantageThe top skills used by Ronaldo, Zidane and Messi.... and Soccer Drills to Master them..Even if you're a player who believes in the one-touch pass and shot instead of dribbling, you'll gain a lot from this book....Scroll up and Click Add to Cart Now

    The Blindside meets Friday Night Lights in Keanon Lowe's Hometown Victory when an NFL coach returns home after losing a friend to opiods to coach a team of struggling high school kids on a 23-game losing streak.Keanon Lowe was working as an offensive analyst for the San Francisco 49ers when his childhood friend and former high school teammate suddenly died from an opioid overdose. Keanon dropped everything––including the plum NFL job he had been working towards since childhood––leading him to a position as football coach at a struggling high school back in his hometown. At the time, Parkrose High School was in the middle of a 23-game losing streak--they were the ultimate underdogs.In many ways, the road to Parkrose was paved by Keanon's life-defining experiences––from a childhood spent dodging racist bullies and finding the support and mentorship he craved on the football team, to an NFL season where he worked closely with Colin Kaepernick as he evolved his sideline protest. Keanon was drawn to the young men on the Parkrose team, and to the school itself. After two years, he pushed them to become conference champions, mentoring countless players along the way.But still, there was that nagging sense that his calling wasn't meant to stop there. He was at that school for a reason. In May 2019, he got his answer when a 19-year-old student entered a Parkrose classroom with a trench coat and shotgun. Keanon disarmed him and pulled the boy into a hug, telling him he cared. In the boy, Keanon saw himself, and the young men he grew up with or mentored along the way––and weren't so many of them just looking for acceptance, for comfort, for love?With the heart of favorite football classics––The Blindside, Friday Night Lights, Remember the Titans––Keanon’s journey at Parkrose is the true account of a life spent striving forward, even when faced with the unimaginable. Hometown Victory is a story about gratitude, service, and most of all, hope.
