Retiring from running shortly after, Bannister went on to become a distinguished neurologist and an important contributor to research into the human nervous system. The following is Bannister's perspective on the famous race.

Nothing Ruins Youth Sports Like...

John Anthony

"When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." - Thomas Sowell. This is a must-read, cautionary tale for any parents with kids in youth sports or any adult considering coaching children. We have a coaching crisis in this country. Because of the parents with unrealistic assessments of how much more important their kids are to their teams or just how good (or not) their children are, coaches are putting their personal and professional reputations on the line when they coach a team for these parents: And the risks are starting to outweigh the rewards. Nothing ruins youth sports like adults is the unfortunately very true and accurate story of Coach Carlos, a once-in-a-lifetime, well-loved, and wildly successful high school girl's basketball coach in the Pacific Northwest who's reputation was unfairly destroyed by an obsessed parent who couldn't stand the rules being applied to his daughter and an inept school district who didn't have the backbone to make him stop. Written by a parent who documented everything over the three years Carlos coached the high school team, this book captures every available detail of all the lies and misinformation used by one parent as he ensnared another parent and used six sophomore girls to ultimately achieve his goal of getting rid of the coach who cut his daughter.

Jennifer Greger

Are you convinced that you will never lose weight?
Have you heard about hypnosis to lose weight and would like to learn more?
Hey listen,
At this time, I assume that you already realize how powerful your mind is. Have you ever heard that 90% of the disease is related to how your brain and mind work? Exactly, and that's the truth. But that's not the subject I am going to talk about today.
Today, we're talking about how to use your mind and empower it to help you get in shape and healthy. And how to make it help you instead of constantly pushing you back… Yes, I am talking about those nights when you feel stressed out, sad, anxious, and the only way to push it away that you know about is to get some chips, hamburger, pizza, or any other fabricated food.
Just imagine. How would your life change if you have been "IN CONTROL" of every single action you take – and STRONGER than any craving you may experience?
In fact, The 1998 Study by Kirsch showed that utilizing hypnosis plus CBT instead of CBT on it’s own for weight loss yielded nearly double the amount of weight loss. Yes, double!
And, another study by Cordi & Rasch stated that after listening to the hypnosis the participants experienced up to 80 percent more slow-wave sleep, which hugely improves the overall quality of your sleep.
Keep in mind that you don't have to hire some expensive therapist to make these strategies work for you: inside this book, you'll find the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the results you have always dreamed about!
Don’t you think it’s time to start your Hypnosis journey?
