  The Last Sea Dog tells the story of Jean-Luc Van Den Heede's life and his many sailing adventures, focussing on his triumph in the 2018/19 Golden Globe Race. Jean-Luc has rounded Cape Horn 12 times and completed six solo circumnavigations. These have resulted in five race podiums and one world record, which he still currently holds. He has been on the podium twice in the Vendée Globe single-handed race around the world, coming third in 1990 and second in 1993. More recently he won the Golden Globe Race in 2018/19 at the age of 73. This race was run as a fiftieth anniversary of the 1968 race of the same name won by Sir Robin Knox-Johnston. While the restriction of no assistance and no stopovers were not particularly unusual, more challenging were the requirements to sail the race 'as in 1968' with yachts similar to those available in that year and, except for safety equipment, no modern technology allowed. No satellite-based navigation aids were available to the sailors and they had to use a sextant to navigate around the world as Robin had done fifty years previously. Jean-Luc was born in Amiens, far from the sea, and he became a maths teacher. Nevertheless, he developed a passion for competitive sailing. He is friendly and easy to approach, but he is also a formidable competitor with an abundance of courage and perseverance. This personal account of his life and the Golden Globe Race is an amazing story of a man who has faced the toughest times and sea and won through

  Follow the Buzzards - Pro...

  As a new decade dawned, 2020 was supposed to be the best year to be a wrestling fan. Finally, WWE had serious competition in All Elite Wrestling, and there were viable secondary promotions and a thriving international indie scene. Few in the industry realized that in China, a mysterious virus had begun to spread. By the time a pandemic was declared in March, the business—and the world—was in disarray. For the first time, pro wrestling was no longer seen as escapism, as real-world events intruded on the fantasy. Still, when everything else shut down, wrestling never went away. Despite cancellations and empty arena shows, there were great innovations, like the cinematic match—battles shot to look like movies—and the "ThunderDome," which replicated the live experience with fan faces surrounding the ring on LED screens. On the indie circuit, matches were held outdoors with spectators separated into socially distanced pods. The entire time, New York Times bestselling author and historian Keith Elliot Greenberg was chronicling the scene, juxtaposing pro wrestling developments with actual news events like the U.S. presidential election and Brexit. The result, Follow the Buzzards: Pro Wrestling in the Age of COVID-19, captures the dread, confusion, and spontaneous creativity of this uncertain era while exploring the long-term consequences.

  NCAA and SEC championship-winning American college basketball coaches Pat Summitt and John Wooden exemplified the essential values of humility, loyalty, encouragement, respect, honesty, confidence, curiosity, and the competitive spirit—to name a few. Lessons from the Legends shares the teachings of these renowned coaches at a time when "WE-GO, not ego‚" is more important than ever before.  Professional speaker and motivator Brian Biro brings together the championship team-building formula of Pat Summitt and John Wooden in his latest release, Lessons from the Legends. Biro describes the impact of these modern-day heroes, how their drive and integrity generated remarkable results. Though Biro points out that these two coaching legends were quite different in personality and approach—one all passion and intensity, the other calm and even-keeled—he highlights the significant characteristics they shared that set them apart as leaders. Biro explains that the foundational principles and coaching strategies of Pat Summitt and John Wooden can apply to teachers, business leaders, parents, and anyone else who strives to make their character their reputation.  With real-life examples of professional coaches demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of ever-changing challenges, Lessons from the Legends provides a winning game plan for those who seek excellence over ego.
