    From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
     
     
     
    Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
     
     
     
    Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
     
     
     
    A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.

    Tennis is a dynamic sport that requires more than just physical skill. While athleticism, technique, and fitness are essential, having a solid understanding of tactics can often be the deciding factor in a match. Tennis tactics involve strategies, decision-making, and adjusting your game plan according to the flow of the match, the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and even the conditions of the court. This chapter introduces the concept of tennis tactics, emphasizing their importance for players of all levels, from beginners to professionals. 
    At its core, tennis is a game of patience and precision. In order to outsmart your opponent, you must be able to analyze the situation on the court and make the best possible decisions. Tactics come into play when choosing the right shot, deciding when to attack or defend, and how to manage the mental aspects of the game. Understanding the fundamentals of tennis tactics is key to building a strong foundation for your play, regardless of your style. 
    One of the first steps in developing effective tactics is recognizing that no single strategy works for every situation. A good player is versatile and adaptable, able to modify their approach depending on the opponent, the surface, and the match circumstances. For example, on a fast hard court, you might choose to play aggressively with deep, powerful shots, while on a slower clay court, a more patient, defensive style might be needed to outlast your opponent. Being able to read the game and adjust accordingly is an essential part of any winning strategy.

    A sport based on one animal sitting on top of another and trying (usually) to be the first pair to reach a wooden stick is a curiosity in itself. So it's no surprise that horseracing is full of curiosities.
    
    
    The curiosities in this collection have been chosen to arouse interest. They are stories of those curious creatures – people, and of horses.
    
    
    The curiosities are arranged in themes so that the reader can dip in and out, as the mood takes them. The collection should leave them with a benevolent view of an intriguing sport, if they didn't already have one.  
    
    Owners, jockeys, the horses, racecourses, officials, prizes, trainers and staff, racing journalists, betting, bookmakers, punters, skulduggery – one of Britain's best loved racing journalists David Ashforth has found the stories to capture the readers attention on all these topics and more.

    The Simple Science of Muscle Growth and Hypertrophy Bundle, 2 in 1 Bundle: Functional Training and Beyond and The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout BookContrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth. Functional training is a way to exercise where everything you do in the workout mimics the moves of daily activities. The point is to achieve a fitter body by improving the ability to perform everyday activities. These workouts don’t aim to enlarge your muscles or make you look bigger but strive to make your body function better.In this bundle, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles. You will also learn more about functional fitness and how it can increase your functional strength.This 2 in 1 bundle includes the following audiobooks:1.
