    From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
     
     
     
    Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
     
     
     
    Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
     
     
     
    A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.

    The Last Kings of Macedonia and...

    In the history of ancient Macedonia, the last three Antigonid kings—Philip V, his son Perseus, and the pretender Andriscus or Philip VI—are commonly overlooked in favor of their predecessors Philip II and his son Alexander the Great, who established a Macedonian empire. By the time Philip V became king, Macedonia was no longer an imperial power and Rome was fast spreading its dominance over the Mediterranean. Viewed as postscripts to the kingdom's heyday, the last Macedonian kings are often denounced for self-serving ambitions, flawed policies, and questionable personal qualities by hostile ancient writers. They are condemned for defeats by Rome that saw both the end of the monarchy and the fall of the formidable Macedonian phalanx before the Roman legion. 
     
     
     
    Producing the first full-scale treatment of Philip V in eighty years and the first in English of Perseus and Andriscus in more than fifty, Ian Worthington argues that this period was far from a postscript to Macedonia's Classical greatness and disagrees that the last Antigonid kings were merely collateral damage in Rome's ascendancy in the east. Despite superior Roman manpower and resources, Philip and Perseus often had the upper hand in their wars against Rome. As Worthington asserts, these kings deserve to be remembered for striving to preserve their kingdom's independence against staggering odds.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    If you’ve ever wondered how a relationship that once felt so right turned into something so painful, we have something in common. 
    I know the cycle intimately—the intense highs, the soul-crushing lows, the confusion that makes you question your own sanity. I lived it for over a decade. What started as love became fear, control, and emotional destruction. It wasn’t always obvious; it crept in. 
    This book walks you through the six stages of a narcissistic relationship — from idealization to discard and hoovering — with compassion, clarity, and lived experience. You’ll learn what these patterns look like, why they’re so hard to escape, and most importantly, that you’re not crazy, and you’re not alone. 
    This isn’t theory — it’s survival turned insight. 
    This audiobook is also the first in a full series exploring the hidden pain points of being with a narcissist — gaslighting, triangulation, comparison, self-blame, obsession, and letting go. Each one is designed to meet you where you are and gently walk you toward truth, validation, and emotional freedom. 
    Whether you’re still in the relationship, just out, or still aching from the aftermath, I hope these words bring comfort — and a few of those powerful “oh my god, it wasn’t just me” moments. 
    You deserve peace. Maybe this is the starting point.

    What you are about to hear is life changing. It will shock you and cause fear. The way you look at life will change. You may think some of it is from the realm of science fiction. You may not. The fact is this, what you are about to hear is the truth. 
     
    It is time to forget about the illuminati or the Freemasons. Time to drop the ideas of a global and all powerful secret society. Your political leaders are not those in control. The world's most powerful religions, businesses and military all fade into insignificance when compared to the real truth about the manipulation of mankind on planet earth. 
     
    We have in fact created our own ultimate nightmare and things are about to get a lot worse. We will all have one decision to make. We either do as we are told, or we will perish. This is your future. It is a future so far removed from the lives of our ancestors that it can only be called unnatural. 
     
    In all of our attempts to free ourselves from the constraints of a chaotic mind, we have in fact created a multi-headed monster that is about to bite off our heads and replace them with heads of its own. You will no longer be human. No longer free. You will be controlled by the most powerful, complex and terrifying system man could ever imagine into existence.
