    How much do you really know about the club you love? You can find out by exploring the 1,000 questions set out in 100 categories that make up this Aston Villa Quiz Book.
    It's not often that books on football make reference to Karl Marx, The Boat Race, Tony Hancock, 'the Tiger' comic, 'dragons' Den' or 'Porridge,' but this one does!
    This latest quiz book from Mart Matthews is a quirky, challenging affair for real Villa fans who can test themselves or take each other on, with the emphasis on enjoyment and discovery. Try these for size:
    Who is the only Villa manager to have won the league title as a player or manager with three different clubs?
    Only two clubs have won and lost an FA Cup final against Villa. Who are they?
    
    When Villa were relegated to the third flight for the only time in their history in 1970 their manager at the time said 'I promised to take Villa out of the Second Division and that's exactly what I've done.' Who was he?

    High-pressure situations can make us panic-but if we can change our perspective, what seemed impossible can suddenly become doable. Legendary pitching coach Rick Peterson is a master at this kind of reframing. He and bestselling author and leadership expert, Judd Hoekstra make this skill available to everyone. 
     
     
    Everybody faces high-pressure situations, and in today's fast-paced, hypercompetitive world it's arguably worse than ever. But ace pitching coach Rick Peterson and organization and leadership expert Judd Hoekstra say our ineffective response to pressure often causes us to perform far below our capabilities. 
     
    Peterson has less than a minute to help a struggling athlete performing in front of millions and flip from butterflies to boldness. His breakthrough is to use "reframing" to recast any situation from a perceived threat or crisis to a positive opportunity. Using dozens of stories from his long career, he and Hoekstra offer six different ways anyone can get a new perspective that will keep them from striking out when the heat's on. These techniques are explicitly made applicable far beyond the pitching mound-anyone can learn to outthink their brains with the power of reframing.
