Summary

In his gripping memoir, Living Beyond the Limits: An American Dream in Football and Beyond, former NFL star Pasquale De Marco takes readers on a wild journey from the gridiron to the edge and back again. With raw honesty and unflinching courage, Pasquale De Marco shares the highs and lows of his life, both on and off the field.

Pasquale De Marco grew up with a dream of playing in the NFL. He spent countless hours practicing, perfecting his skills, and pushing himself to the limit. His hard work paid off when he was drafted by the New York Giants. But the NFL was not what he expected. The game was faster, the hits were harder, and the pressure was immense. Pasquale De Marco struggled to keep up, and his confidence began to waver.

Just when he was about to give up, Pasquale De Marco met a coach who changed his life. With his guidance, Pasquale De Marco began to turn things around. He started to make plays, score touchdowns, and become a valuable member of the team. But his journey was far from over.

Off the field, Pasquale De Marco was battling a secret addiction that threatened to destroy everything he had worked for. He was struggling with depression and anxiety, and he turned to drugs and alcohol to numb the pain. His life was spiraling out of control, and he knew he needed help.

Pasquale De Marco reached out for help, and with the support of his family, friends, and teammates, he began the long and difficult road to recovery. It was a battle, but he was determined to win. He knew that he had to change his life, for himself and for the people who loved him.

Today, Pasquale De Marco is a recovering addict, a successful businessman, and a loving father. He is grateful for every day that he is sober, and he is committed to helping others who are struggling with addiction. Pasquale De Marco's story is a powerful reminder that anything is possible if you never give up on your dreams.

    Great Horse Racing Mysteries digs beneath the surface of some of the sport's most intriguing cases, including the death by poisoning of the great Australian champion Phar Lap; the shooting of William Woodward by his wife Ann, owners of the great horse Nashua; the disqualification of 1960 Derby winner Dancer's Image (was he drugged?); the theft and disappearance in 1983 of Shergar, Europe's best-known racehorse and stallion; and the scandalous financial collapse of Calumet Farm after the death by euthanasia of Alydar, one of the world's most successful sires. John McEvoy researched several unsolved mysteries of the racing world—murder . . . suicide . . . arson . . . fraud—and recounts some of horse racing's strangest, most fascinating tales. 
 
 
 
In this updated edition, veteran turf writer Lenny Shulman adds to the intrigue by exploring the mysterious death of the troubled jockey Chris Antley, winner of the Kentucky Derby and Preakness aboard Charismatic, and Big Brown's stunning collapse in the Belmont after cruising to win in the first two legs of the Triple Crown.

    'EIGHT YEARS WITH RANGERS, MORE THAN 300 GAMES, INCREDIBLE HIGHS, PAINFUL LOWS – AND IT ALL CAME DOWN TO ONE NIGHT IN THE NOU CAMP'
24 May 1972. The biggest night in the history of Rangers. Having overcome the might of Italian giants Torino and Beckenbauer's Bayern Munich en route to the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, Dynamo Moscow stood between the Light Blues and the trophy.
The stage was set in Barcelona for an unsung hero: Dave Smith. Creator of two of the goals on the night and arguably man of the match.
In a rollercoaster career, Smith joined the Ibrox club from Aberdeen in 1966 for a record fee. He tasted defeat in the 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup final and had his career blighted by two horrific leg breaks during a period in which he also experienced the tragedy of the Ibrox disaster.
But by 1972 Smith was a lynchpin of Willie Waddell's team. Playing as sweeper, he dicated the tempo of games with his vision and pinpoint passing. The star of the Nou Camp victory was voted Player of the Year in Scotland to cap the most memorable of seasons.
He departed Rangers in 1974, making a shock switch to Arbroath after a fallout with new Ibrox manager Jock Wallace, before going on to star overseas in South Africa and then alongside George Best for the LA Aztecs in America. Rejecting the chance to join Paris Saint-Germain, Smith chose to end his career in Scotland's lower leagues as player-manager at Berwick Rangers where he would find success and happiness playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

    Está atrapado en casa o no puede acceder a un campo de fútbol? ¿Está preocupado por la práctica y la buena forma física? 
Este libro es su respuesta. 
Ya sea una pandemia causada por un patógeno extremadamente infeccioso o un invierno duro que hace que se acumulen 3 metros de nieve en el campo de fútbol, hay veces que el fútbol se queda atrás. Como hemos descubierto, el fútbol no es más importante que la vida o la muerte, a pesar de las afirmaciones de lo contrario. 
Muchos libros de entrenamiento requieren un equipo complejo, recursos abundantes e instalaciones fantásticas. Al escribir "Practique fútbol desde casa", buscamos ofrecer una guía para esos momentos en los que entrenamos solos, en nuestro patio trasero, con poco más que un balón y nuestro entorno inmediato. Llevar a cabo este trabajo adicional es importante tanto si somos profesionales que buscan perfeccionar nuestra técnica al más alto nivel (¿por qué si no los mejores profesionales construirían gimnasios caseros en sus lujosas casas?) o, más relevante para este libro, aficionados entusiastas o jugadores jóvenes que buscan desarrollar nuestro propio juego. 
Incluso si no está sin moverse de casa durante una pandemia o en las profundidades del invierno, ganará mucho con este libro.

    'The cold water has given me the key to unlock myself within a place I didn't know existed: the community of cold water swimmers right around the world. What binds us all together is the cold and how it makes us feel: brave enough to tackle even the toughest of life's issues.'
Having been a keen runner and cyclist all her life, in 2017 Sara Barnes was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis and found herself facing major surgery and a future of limited mobility. Rather than obsessing about what she could no longer do, she decided to focus on what she could do and took to the water of the tarns, river pools and lakes in her home county of Cumbria. A new appreciation of being in nature and love of cold water swimming and immersion was born.
In The Cold Fix, Sara takes the reader on an enthralling journey, from her first tentative steps into the water, to meeting other swimmers from around the world who share her passion and who can help her answer the question: what is it about cold water that proves irresistible to an increasing number of people?
