An Asian syndicate had infiltrated the Conference South with players being offered vast sums of money to help rig games and net millions of pounds for the fixers. Loyal fans attending matches were oblivious to the fact that outcomes had been predetermined. The remarkable story of how this syndicate was able to take hold of the national sport is told to us by a man who not only played in many of these games, but went to jail for helping to fix them - Moses Swaibu.Fixed breaks new ground as Moses Swaibu becomes the first player ever to write openly about how he helped to fix games, revealing exactly what happens on the pitch when a match is being manipulated. He also exposes how the criminal gangs operate, how young professional players are targeted and groomed and the threats of violence that are used to keep them in check. From fixer, to rehabilitation, Swaibu's story of redemption offers a fascinating insight into the ugly side of the beautiful game. This is a sporting account like none ever written before.

  A guide to self-mastery and other lessons based on the principles of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, by the sport's greatest practitioner of all time. This program includes a foreword written by actor Tom Hardy and read by Mark Meadows.As a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time.His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting,Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him.In Warrior Mindset: The Tao of a Champion, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including:-'Learning to breathe',-'Controlling your emotions',-'Mastering your thinking', and '-'Developing Quiet Inner Grace'.Going far beyond the mat, this hard-won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press
