30 Years 80 Coaches Fighters...

Bart Martin

This book is about fighting, learning and studying people.
It’s sports psychology applied. It's about personal growth through sports, based on my training in different striking and grappling disciplines for 30 years.
Some say you can learn more life lessons from martial arts than from documentaries and journalists’ reports.Why fight and what can I get from it? How much effort is it worth?Can I become better and fulfilled through fighting?How to learn combat efficiently? Which martial arts are currently martial and which have become just an art?How can my insecurities be related to my need to fight? How being an adrenaline junkie and my ego can harm me and others?Why are there so many weird guys in the gyms? Where are the true sensei?What can meditation techniques have to do with all this?
It’s for people looking in martial arts for something more than the primitive pounding, who feel that they should be about something other than “ripping the opponent's head off”.
This book should serve as a shortcut for not wasting your time and health on some people. Instead, I hope you will take care of sensible self-improvement, both physically and mentally – for yourself and for others. It's about mindfulness plus willpower.
I don’t like to fight. But I dislike aggressors and abusers even more. I’ve been doing it all these years cause I wanted to learn all dimensions of combat and self-defense. I haven’t become enlightened thanks to this, and I still can’t levitate. And I don’t think just fighting people makes you much wiser. It is about mindfulness plus willpower. It is up to us to educate ourselves.

Champions' Playbook - Strategies...

Zane Ryder

Success in any sport begins with the right mindset. The journey to becoming a champion is not just about physical prowess but also about cultivating a mental framework that supports peak performance. A champion’s mindset is characterized by resilience, confidence, and an unwavering belief in their ability to succeed, regardless of the challenges they face. 
Developing mental toughness is essential for overcoming setbacks and staying focused on long-term goals. Athletes with a strong mindset view obstacles not as barriers but as opportunities to grow. They embrace adversity as a chance to learn, adapt, and improve. This resilience is often built through consistent practice, reflection, and the willingness to confront uncomfortable situations. Champions do not fear failure; they use it as fuel to push forward. 
Another critical aspect of the champion's mindset is confidence. Confidence is not arrogance but a deep trust in one’s preparation, skills, and ability to perform under pressure. This self-assurance often comes from thorough preparation and relentless dedication to honing one’s craft. Visualization techniques can also enhance confidence. Many top athletes use mental imagery to see themselves succeeding, whether it’s scoring a goal, hitting a perfect shot, or executing a flawless play. This mental rehearsal strengthens their belief in their ability to achieve their goals.

The Grind Line - The gears that...

Keith Gave

By the author of the award-winning best seller, 'The Russian Five.' 
The 'Grind Line' is one of the most successful units in hockey history, and without peer among so-called fourth lines, for those who insist on numbering them. Kris Draper, flanked by Kirk Maltby and Joe Kocur, and later Darren McCarty, deserve their rightful place in Detroit shoulder-to-shoulder with the Production Line, the most famous forward unit in National Hockey League history: Gordie Howe and Ted Lindsay alongside Sid Abel, and later Alex Delvecchio, four men whose numbers hang from the rafters at Little Caesers Arena. This book argues,  and has the receipts to prove it, that the Grind Line was every bit as important in its era as the Production Line was in the dynastic 1950s. 
'Those four guys, they made all the difference,' says Scotty Bowman, the Hockey Hall of Fame coach who wrote the foreword to this book
