The Spirit of Budo

Trevor Leggett

Sinopse

This book comprises eighteen essays which appeared in the monthly
Budo  magazine. They are written with simplicity and humour, but with
an underlying discipline and authority derived from a lifetime of spiritual 
and martial arts training in Adhyatma Yoga, Judo and Zen. Trevor Leggett 
addresses matters including sportsmanship, achieving freedom of mind, 
training the inner self, developing an inner calm, and the four keys to 
learning – instruction, observation inference and personal experience. He 
looks at the cultivation of these Budo qualities and suggests ways in which
  the lessons learned can be applied to daily life as well as to the practice 
of the martial arts.

The Storm

Sebastian Junger

On October 29, 1991, the 70-foot longliner Andrea Gail,on day 40 of an extended commercial swordfishing trip, was lost in a convergence of three powerful storms off Canada’s Grand Banks. Data buoys measured waves as high as 100 feet, and the boat was hit with winds measuring 80 knots (92 miles per hour). The Andrea Gail’s emergency beacon washed ashore that November on Sable Island, off the coast of Nova Scotia, but the boat and 6-man crew were never found. The crew left behind five children among them, and the entire small town mourned the loss. Junger article, “The Storm,” which ran in the October 1994 issue of Outside, grew into the 1997 bestselling book The Perfect Storm, and the 2000 movie of the same name, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg. This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Storm: Stories of Survival From Land and Sea."

Sebastian Junger (born on January 17, 1962) is an American journalist, author and filmmaker who has reported in-the-field on dirty, dangerous and demanding occupations and the experience of infantry combat. He is the author of The Perfect Storm: A True Story of Men Against the Sea which was adapted into a major motion picture and led to a resurgence in adventure creative nonfiction writing.

Foucheux’s acting career began in 1983. The Louisiana native hosted a local morning talk show before turning to writing and acting—he’d minored in theater at Nicholls State University—eventually winning a Helen Hayes Award for his performance in Edmond at Source Theatre.

The Woman Who Would Be King -...

Debrah Miceli, Greg Oliver

Through four decades of entertaining, in the wrestling ring and on the monster truck circuit, Debrah “Madusa” Miceli never could sit still. But her desire to learn, grow, and inspire legions of followers masked deep secrets … Her upbringing was a lie from the start, and the dark truths of her childhood, revealed here for the first time, are the earliest examples of Debrah’s determination to persevere.
		 
Professional wrestling may have been an odd choice for a nursing student, but Madusa went all-in, toughening up in Japan before conquering WWE as Alundra Blayze. She held the WWE Women’s belt … until being fired. In the rival WCW, Madusa infamously tossed the WWE belt in the garbage on live TV.
		 
Then, in 1999, Madusa changed lanes and revolutionized the monster truck world. At meet-and-greets, girls in pink “Queen of Carnage” t-shirts would wait alongside ogling fanboys. By 2004, she was the world champion in a sport dominated by men.
		 
Only one thing has eluded her: motherhood.
		 
This is the spellbinding story of how one woman survived child abuse, financial disaster, death-defying injuries, heartbreak, and chaos to emerge triumphant.

The Road to Barcelona - The...

David B. Smith

'EIGHT YEARS WITH RANGERS, MORE THAN 300 GAMES, INCREDIBLE HIGHS, PAINFUL LOWS – AND IT ALL CAME DOWN TO ONE NIGHT IN THE NOU CAMP'
24 May 1972. The biggest night in the history of Rangers. Having overcome the might of Italian giants Torino and Beckenbauer's Bayern Munich en route to the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup, Dynamo Moscow stood between the Light Blues and the trophy.
The stage was set in Barcelona for an unsung hero: Dave Smith. Creator of two of the goals on the night and arguably man of the match.
In a rollercoaster career, Smith joined the Ibrox club from Aberdeen in 1966 for a record fee. He tasted defeat in the 1967 European Cup Winners' Cup final and had his career blighted by two horrific leg breaks during a period in which he also experienced the tragedy of the Ibrox disaster.
But by 1972 Smith was a lynchpin of Willie Waddell's team. Playing as sweeper, he dicated the tempo of games with his vision and pinpoint passing. The star of the Nou Camp victory was voted Player of the Year in Scotland to cap the most memorable of seasons.
He departed Rangers in 1974, making a shock switch to Arbroath after a fallout with new Ibrox manager Jock Wallace, before going on to star overseas in South Africa and then alongside George Best for the LA Aztecs in America. Rejecting the chance to join Paris Saint-Germain, Smith chose to end his career in Scotland's lower leagues as player-manager at Berwick Rangers where he would find success and happiness playing the game the way it was meant to be played.

Nothing Ruins Youth Sports Like...

John Anthony

"When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment seems like discrimination." - Thomas Sowell. This is a must-read, cautionary tale for any parents with kids in youth sports or any adult considering coaching children. We have a coaching crisis in this country. Because of the parents with unrealistic assessments of how much more important their kids are to their teams or just how good (or not) their children are, coaches are putting their personal and professional reputations on the line when they coach a team for these parents: And the risks are starting to outweigh the rewards. Nothing ruins youth sports like adults is the unfortunately very true and accurate story of Coach Carlos, a once-in-a-lifetime, well-loved, and wildly successful high school girl's basketball coach in the Pacific Northwest who's reputation was unfairly destroyed by an obsessed parent who couldn't stand the rules being applied to his daughter and an inept school district who didn't have the backbone to make him stop. Written by a parent who documented everything over the three years Carlos coached the high school team, this book captures every available detail of all the lies and misinformation used by one parent as he ensnared another parent and used six sophomore girls to ultimately achieve his goal of getting rid of the coach who cut his daughter.
