Summary

Everything you need to know about starting ice skating in an illustrated guide
 
All the knowledge and secret tips you need to start ice skating. If you have ever dreamed of being a figure skater, playing ice hockey or just how to ice skate, this ‘insiders guide’ gives you information that only ice skaters would know and could save you time, money,  trouble and effort.
 
 
 
This walk-through guide into the world of ice skating takes you from novice to being able to stop, turn and use your edges. More than that, it tackles common fears, stepping onto the ice, the safety position and how to get up off the ice.
 
 
 
The guide introduces ‘learn to skate courses’, how they work and their suitability. It also explains private ‘patch’ ice time, one-on-one coaching, which ice skates to hire and how to lace them up.
 
 
 
There is more to ice skating than the skating itself, like etiquette and what to wear. This guide, written by Phillip Hatfield (seasoned adult figure skater) and Lynn Burton-Lenard (former Junior & Senior British Champion and ice dance coach), also tackles training schedules, mental tips, off ice training and more.
 
 
 
There are money saving tips for those learning to skate and more experienced ice skaters alike. From getting the most from sessions to multi-person discounts and cost saving on coaching, there are ways of making ice skating more affordable.
 
 
 
The guide also takes you past the fundamentals of how to ice skate, into the world of the competent figure skater, choosing figure skates and getting an ice skating coach. The guide provides invaluable advice on planning for further advancement in figure skating like tests,  competitions and galas.
 
 
 
If you intend on learning to ice skate, whether that is to be a figure skater, ice hockey player or recreational ice skater, this book is written by those who have been through the process and will give you all the information to make learning to ice skate as enjoyable as possible.

    Considered the greatest baseball poem of all time, "Casey at the Bat" is the beloved tale of the Mudville Nine, a hapless baseball club entering the ninth inning of a ballgame down two runs and with little hope of succeeding...unless their star slugger Casey can manage to get a turn at the plate. With two outs, the outlook is grim but...when the two players preceding Casey manage to get on base, the stage is set for a grand finale, giving the citizens of Mudville hope that their hero can save the day! Ernest Lawrence Thayer originally wrote this poem for the San Francisco Examiner and it would go on to become what Baseball Almanac called "the single most famous baseball poem ever written." It is here presented in its original and unabridged form and enhanced with music and sound effects to bring the listener right into the ballpark!
