  The inspirational story of an amazing group of soccer-playing South African “grannies”. 
  In rural South African, beloved humanitarian “Mama Beka” defied social convention and started a soccer team for the women in her community. The Soccer Grannies, as they came to be known, won over their families and villages who at first rejected the idea of older women playing soccer, and that single team quickly grew into dozens. Soon, the strength, tenacity, and pure joy of the Soccer Grannies had captured the attention of the world. 
  In Soccer Grannies: The South African Women Who Inspire the World, Jean Duffy, a soccer-playing mom herself, recounts how she and her team set to work to bring the Soccer Grannies to the U.S. after hearing their incredible story. Despite many obstacles that stand in their way, the Soccer Grannies finally arrive, and Jean describes the wonderful friendships and cultural exchanges that follow. But Soccer Grannies tells more than just the physical journey of the South African women; it also details the Grannies’ personal journeys, sharing poignant insights into the realities of women living in South Africa. 
  Life beyond the pitch has not been easy for the Grannies. They have persevered through apartheid, rampant poverty and unemployment, the loss of children to AIDS, domestic abuse, and more. But with the friendship and support of their fellow Soccer Grannies, these women face life’s challenges with dignity, humor, and hope. Their stories show to the world the power of sport and its unique ability to bring people and cultures together.

  If a professional referee has a perfect match, nobody says a word about it. If they have a poor one, they immediately become everyone's object of hatred, solely responsible for everything. With these conditions on his shoulders, Jonas Eriksson walked out onto the biggest and most prestigious football pitches in the world time and time again. He portrays the enormous demands placed on the elite tier of referees, how they are ostracised if they don't maintain their weight or pass extreme physical tests. For eighteen years, Jonas Eriksson was one of FIFA's top referees. In House of Cards he speaks openly about the lonely path to the top, why he quit, and what happens behind the scenes in international top-flight football, which is characterised by corruption, cronyism and self-centred superstars.

  The Climbing Bible: Climb Injury Free is the indispensable guide to injury prevention and rehabilitation for climbers. The author, Stian Christophersen, is an internationally renowned climber who has competed and coached at international level; he is also a practising physiotherapist with over 15 years' experience, specialising in the treatment of climbing injuries.
  The third book in the bestselling Climbing Bible series, it describes the most common climbing injuries that the author frequently encounters in his clinical practice, and examines how they can be diagnosed and treated – and even prevented from occurring in the first place. It is designed to be scientifically strong, yet presented simply, so that it can make an important contribution to the knowledge base that healthcare professionals refer to when treating climbers, yet also be easily accessible to climbers who do not have a healthcare background.
  The book is split into three parts and features anatomical illustrations along with exercise and action photos. The first part gives an essential overview of factors which can influence injuries and rehab, such as sleep, training load, warming up, differences related to age and gender, and strength training. Part two focuses on the common injuries experienced by climbers – including pulley injuries, elbow tendinopathies and hamstring ruptures, as well as growth plate injuries in young climbers – and advice about how to rehab or prevent these common injuries. And the third part explores the fascinating subject of pain science – what the sensation of pain really means, and how we interpret and can influence our experience of pain.
