  Logline: A basketball star risks his chances at a college scholarship when he competes in a boxing tournament just hours before the big game. 
  Synopsis: Jack Scratch is the star player for his high school basketball team, on the fast track to a college scholarship and perhaps a career in the NBA. 
  Jack's journey takes a detour after single mother Janet is saved from a mugger by two boxers: Karl "Sweet Sugar" Brown, a former heavyweight contender who now trains fighters, and Paveli "Punch" Pangora, a Slovenian slugger seeking US citizenship. 
  After Janet befriends the two boxers, Jack checks out the gritty yet legendary "Sweet’s Sweat Box Gym” for himself.   Jack spars with "Bruiser" Bobby Studd, the resident gym bully, and shockingly gets up off the canvas after Studd knocks him down. Despite Bobby's bruising, Jack finds the individual nature of boxing a refreshing challenge after years of carrying his basketball teammates. 
  Sweet and Punch compete for the role of trainer to Jack as well as a romantic partner to Janet. However, Janet, as well as Jack's basketball coach, "Quick" Rick Steele, see boxing as a harmful distraction from Jack's pursuit of a college basketball scholarship. Mom and Coach are furious because Jack's bruised hands from boxing are affecting his basketball shooting abilities. 
    
  Jack, trained by Punch, enters a local boxing tournament and wins his semifinal bout to compete the following week against Bobby, trained by Sweet. However, the boxing tournament finals are scheduled mere hours before the Northeast Classic, an important basketball game that has a direct influence on Jack’s scholarship chances. As Coach Steele warns his star player, "It's your choice, Jack. Make your path, but stick with it. I know you're young, and the world seems like your oyster, but you already got people following your lead, and they need to know which way to head.” 
  Fight or Play Basketball is a found family story with a backdrop of sports.

  Running the World - A Runner's...

  "Running the World is a captivating tale of inspiration and adventure! It made me feel like if Robyn can do it—maybe I can too!" - Author of Foam, Laurel SenickWhat does it take to run the world—literally and figuratively? 
  For Robyn Godfrey, it meant logging thousands of miles and navigating one of the most transformative decades of her life. Running the World is more than a runner’s travelogue, it’s a memoir of reinvention, resilience, and the conviction that it’s never too late to redefine yourself. 
  Robyn’s story begins not on a start line but in adolescence, as a clumsy, reluctant teen, and later as a mid-life party girl questioning her relationship with alcohol. She wasn’t chasing medals, she was searching for purpose in a life full of contradictions. 
  Everything changed the day she laced up a pair of running shoes. What began as a fitness experiment became a calling. With each step, Robyn discovered a stronger, braver self, one who embraced discomfort and learned to trust her instincts. 
  She then set an audacious goal: conquer all six World Marathon Majors. Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York City. That quest demanded more than 26.2 miles of training; it required navigating foreign cities, jet lag, cultural surprises, self-doubt, and the emotional weight of life at home. 
  Yet she persevered, running through rain, heat, and snow; training before dawn and after work; crossing finish lines with gratitude and grit. Each city left its mark: cheering crowds in London, carb-loading lessons in Tokyo, Heartbreak Hill’s triumph in Boston, Berlin’s fierce determination, Chicago’s home-field spirit, and New York’s electrifying finale...
