  2024 Summer Games! What if this was equally an opportunity to consider this other game wherein each one of us is an athlete, that of life? 
  This is what Professor Fomum invites us to. He remains faithful to the vision of an individual's full development which had previously moved the ancient Greeks to whom we owe the Olympic Games. 
  He discusses this topic using a spiritual approach and, with a didactic style, he reproduces the context and the goal of the game, explains the main rules and gives the essentials for a good beginning and for victory. 
  Strongly concerned about the fulfilment of the entire being, Zacharias Tanee Fomum also sought to better man's living conditions on earth through science. He holds a PhD in organic chemistry and a D.Sc. for highly distinguished research works, especially in the medicinal field.

  “Modern fandom is rubbish, and Calcaterra explains why, but in so doing, also shows us the way out of our desensitized, corporate, laundry-hugging ways.” —Keith Law, The Athletic   Sports fandom isn’t what it used to be. Owners and executives increasingly count on the blind loyalty of their fans and too often act against the team’s best interest. Sports fans are left deliberating not only mismanagement, but also political, health, and ethical issues.   In Rethinking Fandom, sportswriter (and lifelong sports fan) Craig Calcaterra outlines endemic problems with what he calls the Sports-Industrial Complex, such as intentionally tanking a season to get a high draft pick, scamming local governments to build cushy new stadiums, actively subverting the players, bad stadium deals, racism, concussions, and more. But he doesn’t give up on professional sports. In the second half of the book, he proposes strategies to reclaim joy in fandom: rooting for players instead of teams, being a fair-weather fan, becoming an activist, and other clever solutions.   With his characteristic wit and piercing commentary, Calcaterra argues that fans have more power than they realize to change how their teams behave.  “If you’re like me and love sports but have become increasingly dismayed by the ‘sports-industrial complex,’ Calcaterra’s book will prove a balm that allows you to hold onto that fandom without turning a blind eye to the myriad problems and sources of exploitation on the field.” —John Warner, The Chicago Tribune  “Rather than simply criticizing, Calcaterra provides positive solutions to help us form a healthier and more thoughtful relationship with the sports we love. A vital book for any sports fan in the 21st century.” —Mike Duncan, New York Times–bestselling author

  Ultrarunner Jen Scotney has achieved podium finishes in some of the UK's toughest races and now has her sights firmly set on the Pennine Way. In Running Through the Dark, Jen talks about her ambitions, not just to run the 268-mile Pennine Way but to take the record as the fastest woman to do so. But that didn't happen. Nothing went according to plan. The Jen the world knew was a successful lawyer and running coach – all photoshoots and finish-line smiles – but the truth was much darker. The real Jen Scotney, the one she hid from everybody, suffered with chronic fatigue, debilitating injuries, tragedy, grief and at times had a will so beaten down by setbacks that there just didn't seem any point in going on.
  But she did go on. Running Through the Dark is Jen's account of her ultra-journey. Playing out on the moors of the Pennines, the fells of the Lake District and the mountains of Wales and Scotland, this is much more than a running book, it is a story about resilience, about never giving up, and about battling through the night and always believing that there will be a new dawn.

  Ice hockey is perhaps the most unique sport ever created. It is one of the few team sports played on ice, and the athletes that play the game have to train very differently compared to most other sports. Hockey players need to master not only going forwards but going backward as well. 
  No other sport has changed as much as ice hockey has. From the evolution of goalie techniques, the design of the skates, and the materials used to make the sticks, this game has certainly gone through many phases. In this book, Adam Rothstein goes through the history of the game, the rules, his hockey journey, and how you can become a ref, coach, or player. This audiobook was created to grow the sport of hockey.
