  Before Mary Earps, Jess Fishlock, and Lucy Bronze, there were the trailblazers who defied the odds. 
  In 1921, the FA banned women from playing football, but these rebels refused to quit. Leaving behind jobs, families, and their homeland, they sought opportunities abroad, where they could fulfil their footballing potential. 
  This book uncovers the untold stories of those pioneering women who paved the way for today’s stars. The original Lioness who started a new life in the Netherlands as a teenager, the first woman of colour to play for England, the girl who gave up the chance of international recognition to play in Italy – through their reflections, we explore their extraordinary journeys, the evolution of women’s football, and the dreams they still hold for the future.

  Charting West Ham's tumultuous 2022–23 season and epic triumph in the Europa Conference League final, this is the story of how the Hammers defied the odds to win their first trophy in forty-three years and first European trophy in fifty-eight years. After weathering misfiring signings, dissent among the fans and the near-sacking of David Moyes, the Irons eventually secured Premier League survival and found spectacular redemption in the Europa Conference League. They played fifteen games in Europe and were unbeaten. Captain Declan Rice ended his West Ham career by lifting a trophy, just like Bobby Moore and Billy Bonds before him. The outpouring of joy at the final whistle in Prague will never be forgotten by the club's fans, many of whom were too young to have seen their team win its last trophy. Packed with hilarious anecdotes and whimsical musings, this is West Ham's extraordinary 2022–23 season as told by superfan Pete May, who lived (and occasionally suffered) through every nail-biting moment and crucial game. Experience the goals, games and glory all over again in this witty and impassioned book – essential reading for any Hammers fan.

  Tennis Tactics - Winning...

  Tennis is a dynamic sport that requires more than just physical skill. While athleticism, technique, and fitness are essential, having a solid understanding of tactics can often be the deciding factor in a match. Tennis tactics involve strategies, decision-making, and adjusting your game plan according to the flow of the match, the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and even the conditions of the court. This chapter introduces the concept of tennis tactics, emphasizing their importance for players of all levels, from beginners to professionals. 
  At its core, tennis is a game of patience and precision. In order to outsmart your opponent, you must be able to analyze the situation on the court and make the best possible decisions. Tactics come into play when choosing the right shot, deciding when to attack or defend, and how to manage the mental aspects of the game. Understanding the fundamentals of tennis tactics is key to building a strong foundation for your play, regardless of your style. 
  One of the first steps in developing effective tactics is recognizing that no single strategy works for every situation. A good player is versatile and adaptable, able to modify their approach depending on the opponent, the surface, and the match circumstances. For example, on a fast hard court, you might choose to play aggressively with deep, powerful shots, while on a slower clay court, a more patient, defensive style might be needed to outlast your opponent. Being able to read the game and adjust accordingly is an essential part of any winning strategy.

  Nick Craig's ground-breaking Helming to Win was published 10 years ago to great reviews: "Many sailing books can be recycles of familiar themes and ideas. Not this one! This is a highly personal and radical, fresh view of the subject area." In the following decade since it was published, Nick has won 10 World, 3 European and 20 National Championships! That's winning more championships than most of us have attended over this period. As an amateur sailor, with a senior full-time job, Nick knows how to make the most of his time on the water. Every race is recorded in his notes, every race builds on his knowledge. This new edition of Helming to Win utilises what he has learnt from those 33 championship wins (and many other less successful events), with new learning, new anecdotes, new photos and additional captions on the photo sequences to ensure the key learnings are easy to take on. This updated breakthrough book will help you make the transition from weekend racer to national champion, just as Nick has done. Covering everything from where to look and getting 'in the groove' to mental approaches and championship sailing, you will be working your way up the leaderboard in no time. Packed full of intelligent insight, brilliant top tips and engaging photo sequences, if your goal is to win then this is the book for you!
