Jürgen Said to Me - Jürgen Klopp...

Dan Morgan

Jürgen Said to Me is a human-interest story centred around Liverpool FC's most successful and charismatic leader of recent times. It charts Jürgen Klopp's impact on Liverpool through the voice of the author and those at the heart of his revival. 
 
In October 2015, Klopp took the helm at Liverpool at a time when the famous club were entering a third decade of league-title drought. The German coach had prospered with his brand of 'heavy-metal football', but little was known about his personality beyond an obvious energy and charisma. He entered a city steeped in personality, history and trauma - a place where the people demand more than a mere coach to lead their clubs. 
 
Klopp's social influence has stretched to matters such as diversity, the economy, the COVID-19 pandemic and local history. The book explores the human impact of a man who single-handedly harnessed togetherness and the global unity of millions, while reshaping one of the most famous cities in the world.

The world of fitness is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging every year that promise to revolutionize the way we work out, eat, and live. From the introduction of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to the rise of yoga and meditation practices, the fitness industry has witnessed a whirlwind of changes over the last few decades. While some trends have become mainstream and proven their effectiveness, others have faded away just as quickly as they arrived. In this book, we explore the shocking truth about fitness trends, shedding light on both the benefits and pitfalls of these ever-changing fads.
Fitness trends are often shaped by a combination of scientific research, celebrity endorsements, social media buzz, and the desires of consumers looking for the next big thing. With so many new trends popping up every year, it can be overwhelming for individuals trying to navigate the fitness landscape. What’s the best approach? How do we know which trends are backed by real science, and which ones are simply driven by marketing hype?
The influence of social media and influencers has played a significant role in the rise of many fitness trends. Platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok have allowed fitness gurus and enthusiasts to reach millions of people with their workout routines and fitness tips. As a result, fitness trends often spread quickly, gaining popularity in the blink of an eye. But not all of these trends are created equal.
