Sinopsis

Speed Skating explores the captivating blend of physics and technique that allows athletes to achieve incredible speeds on ice. By delving into friction, biomechanics, and training methodologies, the book reveals how skaters manipulate their bodies to minimize resistance and maximize power. A key insight is understanding how ice properties affect skating, as even slight changes in temperature can impact an athlete's performance. 

 
The book progresses logically, first laying a foundation in physics by explaining friction and aerodynamics. It then analyzes the biomechanics of the skating stride, including force production and energy transfer. Finally, it examines advanced training strategies to enhance athletic performance. This approach connects scientific principles with real-world applications, providing skaters and coaches with actionable insights to optimize training and improve technique.

    The unvarnished, raw truth behind the world's most dangerous sporting event - in the words of those who ride it.One week in June. One small island. 40,000 annual visitors. Raw speed. Numerous annual deaths. The Isle of Man TT motorcycle road race. Five minutes to go. The claxon sounds, harsh as an air raid siren. Television crews attempt last-minute interviews with riders. The thousand yard-stares give it away: they're really not listening now. Four minutes to go. The grandstand is packed. Some racers tell their mechanics, 'I'll see you later for a pint' - just to make themselves believe they will.Three minutes to go. For the first man on the road, hidden dangers exist. He will have no-one to follow. And he is the hare that the greyhounds will be chasing. Two minutes to go. By the end of the first lap, riders will be howling past faster than a bullet from the barrel of a gun. A full 160pmh. And that's not even the fastest part of the course.One minute to go. The atmosphere is palpably tense. It's like no other sporting event on earth. Formula 1 drivers can crash spectacularly and just walk away. Everyone knows that's not the case here. Five seconds. The starter raises the chequered flag, ready to snap down. No more time for nerves, for doubts. The race has started. How it will end, no-one knows. The TT has begun. In Ragged Edge, Stuart Barker will write the definitive story of this unique event, from the tarmac up. The history, the atmosphere, the heroes, tragedies and legends. And most importantly: our fascination with this seductive yet perilous test of skill and daring. This is the unvarnished, raw truth behind the world's most dangerous sporting event - in the words of those who ride it.

    A science-backed framework for achieving your potential in high-stakes momentsFor more than twenty years, Dr. Justin Anderson has led Premier Sport Psychology, a high-performance psychology consulting group that has become one of the most trusted names in mental training for sport and leadership. Working alongside elite athletes, coaches, and executives, Anderson and his team have transformed careers by helping clients target what truly separates sustained excellence from those that stumble when the heat rises. It's not a mysterious clutch gene, motivation, bravado, or positive thinking—it's a trainable skill. "Intentional Attention" is the ability to deliberately direct and sustain focus on what drives performance, especially when distraction, emotion, and uncertainty surge. In a world engineered to capture our attention, this skill has become to be one of the rarest and most decisive competitive advantages. 
     
    Anderson introduces a practical, science-backed framework for strengthening the attentional systems that drive performance. Through gripping stories from locker rooms and boardrooms and drawing on high-performance psychology principles, Intentional Attention will help listeners: understand why the brain defaults to protection instead of execution; identify the attentional patterns that subtly undermine consistency; build daily routines for awareness, intention, execution, reflection, and renewal; and perform with steadiness and confidence when the stakes are highest. 
     
    Pressure is inevitable, but where your attention goes when it arrives makes all the difference. This book shows you how to train that skill—and how to carry it into every arena of your life.
