  This book contains the following 4 books: 
  - Soccer Skills: Soccer, known as football in most parts of the world, is one of the most popular and widely played sports across the globe. It is a game that transcends cultures, bringing people together through the love of competition and teamwork. To understand soccer, it is essential to explore its rich history, learn the basics of the game, and familiarize yourself with its rules and positions. 
  - Baseball Basics: Baseball is a game of precision, strategy, and athleticism, and understanding its fundamental principles is essential for success at any level of play. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, mastering the basics forms the foundation for all other skills in the game. This chapter will introduce you to the core aspects of baseball, focusing on the essential elements of hitting, pitching, and fielding that every player must know. 
  - Boxing Basics: Boxing is one of the oldest and most celebrated combat sports in history, combining athleticism, strategy, and resilience. Its roots can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where it was practiced as both a form of entertainment and a test of physical prowess. Over time, boxing has evolved into a regulated sport with worldwide recognition, drawing millions of fans and participants alike. 
  - Football Fundamentals: The origins of American football lie in two English sports: soccer and rugby. In the mid-1800s, colleges in the United States began to play their own variations of these games. Harvard, Princeton, and Yale were instrumental in experimenting with the rules, gradually distinguishing their style of play from soccer and rugby. The first intercollegiate game, played in 1869 between Rutgers and Princeton, resembled soccer more than the football we know today. Over the next few decades, the sport evolved significantly.

  When Emily Halnon lost her beloved mother to a rare uterine cancer at just sixty-six years old, she wanted to do something monumental to honor the person her mother had been. Emily's mom had taken up running in her late forties; she ran her first marathon at fifty. She even went skydiving to celebrate her sixtieth birthday. 
   
   
   
  Emily, already an accomplished ultrarunner, decided to try to break the record for the Fastest Known Time by a woman on the Pacific Crest Trail's 460 miles across Oregon. 
   
   
   
  To the Gorge takes the listener through her seven days, nineteen hours, and twenty-three minutes on the trail, covering nearly sixty miles a day on foot over rugged terrain, and battling all the issues that could arise during such a monstrous undertaking. All the while, she simultaneously struggles with how to get through the profound grief of losing her mom. 
   
   
   
  Interwoven with Halnon's eight-day effort are her remembrances from her mother's life and death, exploring the complicated experience of grief—and what shines through it. 
   
   
   
  Filled with adventure and heart, To the Gorge invites listeners to consider what our greatest losses can teach us about how to live the one life we get.

  Kicking Back

  Nedum Onuoha

  "A searingly honest account … Nedum tells it like he played, with nothing left out." – Guy Mowbray, Match of the Day
  "A frank, thought-provoking and compelling insight into one of football's most articulate voices." – Rory Smith, New York Times chief soccer correspondent
  "Nedum Onuoha's autobiography is considerably more compelling than most of those by more decorated players." – When Saturday Comes
  ***
  Nedum Onuoha was not a typical footballer. Picked by the Manchester City Academy aged ten, he was determined to continue his education despite the lure of a career under the floodlights. Fiercely intelligent on and off the pitch, Onuoha developed into a talented defender and played his part in City's meteoric rise.
  In this characteristically forthright book, Onuoha reveals what goes on behind the scenes at top-tier clubs. Stuffed with insights into household names like Stuart Pearce, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknapp, this is football and its most famous figures as you've never seen them before.
  Kicking Back is also the story of one man's search for identity: as a footballer, as a black man in England and as an outsider in the US during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests. What is it like to receive horrific racist abuse while doing your job? And how has football failed the black community? Onuoha provides a damning assessment of the sport's authorities as he dives deep into a life spent on the pitch.

  The Voices of Hockey -...

  Hockey is a game where team rivalries are literally sealed with blood into the ice. No other major sport has fans going into the penalty box to fight the players or players going over the boards to fight the fans. Hockey has been known to see team mascots unwittingly cheat death during pre-game entertainment and players escape death mid-action. From benches lined with more coaches than players by game's end to lifetime-ban-inducing penalties worthy of assault charges, this international sport has seen the most bizarre - and often violent - action a broadcaster could only hope to describe. The Voices of Hockey boasts 65 NHL play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, sharing the game's most pinnacle moments of the past 60 plus years. From the Broad Street Bullies to the Bruise Brothers; the great one to the great eight; from flying octopi, catfish, and plastic rats to National Anthem interrupting shouts, these 65 storytellers encapsulate the greatest moments the only sport deserving of the nickname "the fastest game on earth” has to offer.  
  Kirk McKnight is a published American author specializing in sports journalism with an emphasis on broadcasting. He has written three books featuring over 130 play-by-play broadcasters, past and present, for both hockey and baseball. McKnight’s other published books include The Voices of Baseball: The Game’s Greatest Broadcasters Reflect on America’s Pastime and Batting Clean: Why Dale Murphy Belongs in Baseball’s Hall of Fame. Currently serving as editor for The Wahkiakum County Eagle, McKnight lives in Cathlamet, Washington, with his wife, Collette and their child, Adaira.
