  Ao longo de quase duas décadas, entre 1990 a 2007, tínhamos as duas principais marcas nacionais, que realizavam os principais campeonatos e circuitos nacionais, investiam em pistas e patrocinavam skatistas, que despontam nos campeonatos mundiais subindo ao pódio e levando títulos. Tudo isso inserido em uma ebulição musical e de moda onde o principal público era de adolescentes e jovens, que viam no skate uma forma de expressão. Desde o carrinho até as roupas streetwear, produziam e reproduziam um comportamento e uma identidade própria. Surgiu um estilo de vida, o skate como um lifestyle, e Curitiba reconhecida como a capital do skate brasileiro. A cultura do skate é resiliente, diversa e se reinventa. Desde 1972, quando tudo era desconhecido e novo, os pioneiros do skate paranaense criaram as referências. A nossa essência começou ali. E o skate passou de mão em mão, evoluiu de geração para geração. A criatividade e a liberdade movem nossa história do skate. É o que buscamos expressar neste livro.

  What if everything you know about pain is wrong?For starters, pain is not synonymous with being “injured.” It’s also not evidence that your biomechanics are “flawed” or your body is “imbalanced.” And most important, pain doesn’t always mean you have to see a doctor.In Pain  Performance, Ryan Whited and Matt Fitzgerald present a radically new way for athletes to understand and manage pain that exposes the shocking lack of evidence for modern medicine’s approach to pain and injury management. Based on many years of research and a greater appreciation of the complexity of pain as a lived experience, Whited’s revolutionary “Training as Treatment” method puts you in control of your pain experience as you build mental and physical resilience. Learning this simple, three-step process will start you on a path to better performance and a more fulfilling athletic journey with less downtime, fewer visits to clinicians, less anxiety about pain and injury, and less time and money wasted on treatments that don’t work.An elite boulderer and son of a chronically injured professional horse jockey, Whited brings a pragmatic approach to a complex process. As a trainer, he has spent decades guiding athletes from breakdowns to breakthroughs at Paragon Athletics, a magnet for pain-affected runners, climbers, and recreational athletes who’ve grown frustrated with the medical system. Pain  Performance makes Whited’s unparalleled knowledge of pain science and physiology available to anyone seeking to stay out of the doctor’s office and on track toward their goals."Training as Treatment is a fresh and innovative approach to understanding and working with pain rather than against it. By helping athletes face fear and reframe pain, Ryan Whited facilitates a shift in mindset that fosters a healthy, lifelong relationship to sport and performance.”—Rob Krar, coach and ultrarunning championThis audiobook contains a supplemental PDF with a Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire and a link to video demonstrations of exercises to get started on a Training as Treatment plan.

  Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes!Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guide! I know exactly how you feel. You probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety.  This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.  I am here to help you parents understand how to help your kiddo navigate this mental toughness journey.  That's why I wrote the Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent's Guide) In the past I have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports. Most of the books that I read were not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference. Since there wasn't anything out there for elite athletes we took the long journey of ups and downs for you. IT WAS ROUGH! Luckily along the way we found a winning formula! My son Moses and I launched a podcast together (HOOPCHALK BASKETBALL PODCAST) and on it we interviewed sports mental toughness giants like....- Chauncey Billups- Tywanna Smith- Keiko Yoshimine- Earl Boykins- Jason Richardson and - Kobe Bryant!We studied what they did and said based on our interviews with them and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! Does your child perform better in practice than they do in the game or when the "Lights Come On"?Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game?Do you want to help them?If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!

  'There's a difference between living and being alive.'Jim McGuinness inherited a wounded thing when he took over as manager of the Donegal senior football team in the summer of 2010. When he stepped down just over four years later, the same group of players had won three Ulster championships, the All-Ireland title of 2012 and succeeded in overturning a century-old perception of how Gaelic football should be played.His departure also marked the end of a personal odyssey, which had begun almost three decades earlier and weathered the aftermath of two family tragedies. Destined to become a classic, Until Victory Always is McGuinness's unforgettable and highly personal account of his years at the helm of the Donegal team.Confessional, moving, funny and fiercely honest, it's at once the epic story of one team's audacious bid to rewrite its destiny and one man's moving testament to the power of sport to sustain us in our darkest moments.

  One of the most dominant college wrestlers in history, Ben Askren became a folk hero during the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, before going on to become a multiple time MMA champion and one of the sport's biggest stars.Here, in Funky, this record-breaking wrestler and polarizing UFC fighter shares how he came to dominate opponents while blazing a trail through competitors in unprecedented ways. Not blessed with natural athleticism, he revolutionized folkstyle wrestling by innovating his own technique, which earned him the famous nickname, "Funky."What ensued was an improbable takeover of combat sports by a firebrand who defied tradition, becoming the University of Missouri's first ever national champion while twice winning the prestigious Dan Hodge trophy. Now, Askren opens up about how he bucked convention, how he used his wrestling base to seize the world of cage-fighting, and how he eventually forced UFC president Dana White to end their decade-long public feud via a historic trade.Love him or hate him, win or lose, Ben Askren showed what determination means by staying true to one of his earliest revelations on the mats:  "I was never going to let anybody outwork me."
