Andrés Iniesta - Futbalový umelec
V tejto knihe slávny španielsky futbalový maestro nielen vlastnými slovami, ale aj s pomocou svojich trénerov, spoluhráčov, súperov, priateľov a rodinných príslušníkov podáva čitateľovi svoj strhujúci ľudský a športový autoportrét. Výsledný obraz stojí za viac než len jedno prečítanie.
Andrés Iniesta mal dvanásť rokov, keď dostal pozvanie do La Masie – slávnej futbalovej akadémie klubu FC Barcelona. Už krátko po príchode si ho všimol Pep Guardiola. „Tento chalan nás všetkých pošle do dôchodku,“ vyhlásil.
Iniesta sa rýchlo stal trvalou súčasťou barcelonskej zálohy. Vďaka nemu Barça získala množstvo trofejí vrátane ôsmich titulov v La Lige a štyroch víťazstiev v Lige majstrov. V drese Španielska získal titul majstra Európy a vsietil víťazný gól vo finále majstrovstiev sveta v roku 2010.
Za všeobecne známym obrazom pracovitého stredopoliara s dokonalou prihrávkou a gracióznym pohybom sa však skrýva inteligentný a premýšľavý muž, za ktorého až doteraz hovorili iba jeho nohy.

Cristiano Ronaldo: The Biography
The definitive biography of Cristiano Ronaldo, named Football Book of the Year at the Cross Sports Book Awards 2016
Fully updated to include the 2017-18 season and Ronaldo's transfer to Juventus
Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest footballers of all time, a dream he pursued from the age of just twelve when he left his humble origins on Madeira behind.
It wasn't long before he had the biggest clubs in Europe knocking on his door, but it was Manchester United who won the race for his signature. Under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson, Ronaldo developed into the complete footballer and athlete, winning three league titles and a Champions League along the way.
He then became the biggest galáctico of them all when he transferred to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee. Unprecedented success in the Champions League and a record-equalling five Ballons d'Or followed, before his sensational move to Juventus in the summer of 2018.
Guillem Balagué, respected football journalist and expert on the Spanish game, provides the definitive account of a twenty-first-century footballing icon.
Mamba Mentality
The first book from the basketball superstar Kobe Bryant--a lavish, deep dive inside the mind of one of the most revered athletes of all time
In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant has decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary "Mamba mentality." Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it "the right way," The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever.
For the first time, and in his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They'll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.
Bryant's detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the Lakers and NBA official photographer, captured Bryant's very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016--and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a unique, twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer.
The combination of Bryant's narrative and Bernstein's photos make The Mamba Mentality an unprecedented look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world's most celebrated and fascinating athletes.
Ali: A Life
The most comprehensive and definitive biography of Muhammad Ali that has ever been published, based on more than 500 interviews with those who knew him best, with many dramatic new discoveries about his life and career.
When the frail, trembling figure of Muhammad Ali lit the Olympic flame in Atlanta in 1996, a TV audience of up to 3 billion people was once again gripped by the story of the world's most famous sporting icon. The man who had once been reviled for his refusal to fight for his country and for his fast-talking denunciation of his opponents was now almost universally adored, the true cost of his astonishing boxing career clear to see. In Jonathan Eig's ground-breaking biography, backed up with much detailed new research specially commissioned for this book, we get a stunning portrait of one of the most significant personalities of the second half of the twentieth century.
We are not only taken inside the ring for some of the most famous bouts in boxing history, we also learn about his personal life, his finances, his faith and the moments when the first signs of his physical decline began to show. Ali was a symbol of freedom and courage, a hero to many, but this is also a very personal story of a warrior who vanquished every opponent but was finally brought down by his own stubborn refusal to quit. An epic tale of a fighter who became the world's most famous pacifist, Ali: A Life does full justice to an extraordinary man.
Slovenský futbal
Slovenský futbal počas ostatného štvrťstoročia definitívne dospel. Podarilo sa mu prekonať všetky detské choroby, ktoré nevyhnutne k rastu a vývoju akéhokoľvek, teda aj spoločenského organizmu patria. Na jej začiatku bolo džentlmenské rozdelenie spoločnej česko-slovenskej futbalovej federácie, vďaka ktorému máme dodnes nadštandardné priateľské vzťahy s kolegami na západ od rieky Moravy.
Za tých 25 rokov sme dokázali, že slovenský futbal, reprezentovaný Slovenským futbalovým zväzom, si dokáže riadiť svoje fungovanie tak, aby zodpovedal požiadavkám a kritériám medzinárodných futbalových organizácií FIFA a UEFA, ktorých je váženým a rešpektovaným členom. V mnohých oblastiach je SFZ lídrom medzi športovými organizáciami na Slovensku, pričom si uvedomuje vďaka masovosti nielen svoje výnimočné postavenie, ale zároveň záväzok podporovať všestranný rozvoj športu v našej krajine.

At Home with Muhammad Ali
At Home with Muhammad Ali is an intimate, behind-the-scenes portrait of a legend, a man admired and respected as the greatest sporting icon of our age, written by Ali's daughter Hana.
As Muhammad Ali approached the end of his astonishing boxing career, he strove to embrace a new purpose and role in life beyond the ring. It was a role that would see him take centre stage as an ambassador for peace and friendship, whilst at the same time attempting to find balance and harmony with his many commitments and responsibilities as a husband, devoted father, son and friend.
In the 1970s Ali began recording a series of audio diaries, mostly in his LA home. Through these private tapes, as well as personal journals, love lettersand many never-before-seen photographs, we discover Ali the family man and see how, despite the complexities of his personal life, he went to extraordinary lengths to keep all of his nine children united and to help others - be they family, friend or stranger. We also hear of the everyday adventures the family experienced, with visitors such as Michael Jackson, Clint Eastwood and John Travolta dropping by.
Candid and revealing, At Home with Muhammad Ali is more than Hana's family memoir. It is a moving and poignant letter of love and affection from a daughter to a father.
Peter Sagan - Démon
Na prvý pohľad trochu divoké pomenovanie jedného z najlepších cyklistov planéty zveličením vlastne nie je. Vo svetovom pelotóne a športe sa Peter Sagan stal za pár rokov absolútne mimoriadnym zjavom zvlášť po tom, ako päťkrát po sebe (2012 - 2016) získal zelený trikot, "maillot vertK, pre najlepšieho jazdca bodovej šprintérskej klasifikácie na Tour de France a trikrát po sebe (2015 - 2017) sa stal na ceste majstrom sveta.
Posledné tri roky prvý muž nemeckej stajne Bora-Hansgrohe, predtým Tinkoffu, Cannondalu a Liquidasu, si tak môže tiež obliekať dúhový trikot svetového šampióna. Prestížny športový denník L' Équipe o Petrovi napísal: "Už sa stal legendou svojho športu. Je ťažké povedať, odkiaľ vychádza dúha, ale vždy sa končí u Sagana."
Peter nie je len skvelým športovcom, ale takisto mužom natoľko populárnym, že ho môžeme porovnávať aj s Cristianom Ronaldom. Peter je akousi rockovou hviezdou na bicykli. Napokon, Bradley Wiggins, víťaz Tour 2012, ho nazval cyklistickým spasiteľom!
Čítajte pútavý príbeh veľkého Slováka, rodáka zo Žiliny, ktorý žije v Monaku s manželkou Katarínou a synom Marlonom aj celou svojou rodinou, vydajte sa na pozoruhodnú cestu stále mladého idolu, ktorý ohromuje svojím umením aj osobnou charizmou nielen športový svet.
Matej Tóth - Odchýlka
Príbeh o víťazstvách a prehrách najrýchlejšieho chodca na svete, o jeho ceste na vrchol, o fyzických útrapách, o traume z obvinenia, že bol nepoctivý. S Matejom Tóthom prežijete všetky jeho kľúčové preteky, ako keby ste ich prežívali na vlastnej koži.
Táto strhujúca kniha je však výnimočná ešte niečím iným, než príbehom výnimočného atléta. Naša spoločnosť je dnes zmietaná vlnami lží a spochybňovaním pravdy. Matejova úprimnosť má takú silu, že mu veríte každé slovo. Nevíťazí vďaka konkurenčnej výhode svojho organizmu, ale vďaka poctivosti v tréningoch a v živote. A nám, čitateľom, jeho poctivosť pomáha veriť, že dobrí ľudia ešte žijú.

A legnagyobb visszatérés
Pep Guardiola és José Mourinho előtt élt egy bizonyos Guttmann Béla: az első szupersztár futballedző, aki kitaposta az utat a mostani ünnepelt menedzsereknek.
1961-ben a Benfica edzőjeként magasba emelte a bajnokcsapatok Európa-kupáját –, hőstettét megismételte a következő évben. Felemelkedett a haldokló Európában, tizenhat év alatt a kontinens bajnokává vált: Guttmann a futballtörténelem legnagyszerűbb visszatérését csinálta.

More Power
Arguably the greatest coach in British sporting history. Jurgen Grobler’s Olympic coaching career is one of legend, yet the man himself has remained resolutely out of the spotlight. Over the last twenty years he has masterminded British Rowing’s incomparable success. And when the difference between gold and silver can mean mere fractions of a second, Jurgen Grobler has consistently delivered Olympic gold through various boat classes and with an ever-changing group of athletes. Arguably the greatest coach in British sporting history, Grobler’s unparalleled record outstrips many much better known records and stories; building champions such as Sir Steve Redgrave, Sir Matthew Pinsent and James Cracknell to name but few. This authoritative account of Grobler’s career straddles the Iron Curtain, beginning in the German Democratic Republic, where systemic state-funded doping was an open secret, before crossing to Britain following the fall of the Berlin Wall. And whilst culture and sport have shifted dramatically over the last half century, Grobler’s pursuit of greatness has never faltered. Written by Olympic medallist, Hugh Matheson, and rowing historian, Christopher Dodd, More Power is the unmissable story of one man’s quest for glory, and sets out to unlock the secrets of Jurgen Grobler: the finest coach Olympic sport has ever seen.
But Seriously
He is one of the most controversial sportsmen in history and a legend of Open Era tennis. But after reaching the top of his game - what came next? A decade after his international number-one bestseller SERIOUS , John McEnroe is back and ready to talk.
Now the undisputed elder statesman of tennis, McEnroe has won over his critics as a matchless commentator and analyst at Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments - with outspoken views on the modern game and its top players. He has continued to compete on the court, winning the ATP Champions Tour a record six times, and has travelled the globe to play in charity events. More surprising have been the calls from TV producers, inviting John to riff on his famous hot temper in cult shows such as 30 ROCK and CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM . And then there is his long-standing passion for American contemporary art.
In BUT SERIOUSLY John McEnroe confronts his demons and reveals his struggle to reinvent himself from ex-champion to father, broadcaster and author. The result is a richly personal account, blending anecdote and reflection in an inspirational re-evaluation of what it means to be - and stay - successful.
A mosoly mögött
Most élvezem az életet. De a mosoly mögött rengeteg munka van. Míg eljutottam idáig, rengeteget sírtam..."
A francia utánpótlásképző központok elutasították vékony, alacsony termete miatt, ezért Antoine Griezmann tizennégy éves korában a spanyolországi Baszkföldet választja, mivel a San Sebastian-i Real Sociedad az egyetlen klub, amely hisz benne. Rengeteg kitartásra van szüksége, hogy feljusson a csúcsra.
2016-ban Lionel Messit és Cristiano Ronaldót megelőzve a spanyol bajnokság legjobb játékosának választott 26 éves csatár nagy tetteket visz véghez az Atlético Madriddal és a Kékekkel a Franciaországban megrendezett Európa-bajnokság során: kiérdemelte a bajnokság legjobb góllövője és legjobb játékosa címet.
Az alapjában hallgatag, visszafogott fiú, az Aranylabda harmadik helyezettje úgy döntött, elmeséli eddigi pályafutásának történetét. A kétségeit, ambícióit sem elrejtve, most először beszél magáról: a mâconi gyerekkoráról, ami a labda körül forgott, sikertelen próbálkozásairól, a fantasztikus Európa-bajnokság kulisszatitkairól, Didier Deschamps-mal folytatott beszélgetéseiről, a párizsi szórakozóhelyre történt kiruccanása miatti tizenhárom hónapos felfüggesztéséről, a 2015. november 13-án a Stade de France-ban megtartott Franciaország-Németország mérkőzésről, miközben a nővére éppen a Bataclanban volt... És természetesen imádott feleségéről, Erikáról és kétéves kislányáról, Miáról.
Egy különleges bajnok érzelmekkel teli, őszinte története.
Készült Arnaud Ramsay újságíró közreműködésével.

Usain Bolt - najrýchlejší muž planéty
Iba 9,58 sekundy – presne toľko času zabrala Usainovi Boltovi žiarivá cesta na športový vrchol. Jeho svetový rekord v behu na sto metrov šokoval celý svet. No keď bol Usain St. Leo Bolt malým chlapcom, viac ako behaniu, ktoré ho vôbec nebavilo, sa venoval iným športom. Nebyť Boltovho trénera kriketu, možno by zostal jeho talent bez povšimnutia. Nikto, najskôr ani Usain sám, vtedy ešte netušil, že tento vysoký, chudý chlapec z malého mestečka v oblasti Montego Bay na severnom pobreží Jamajky sa jedného dňa stane najrýchlejším mužom planéty.

Tiger Woods
Based on three years of extensive research and reporting, two of today's most acclaimed investigative journalists, Jeff Benedict of Sports Illustrated and eleven-time Emmy Award winner Armen Keteyian, deliver the first major biography of Tiger Woods - sweeping in scope and packed with groundbreaking, behind-the-scenes details of the Shakespearean rise and epic fall of a global icon.
In 2009, Tiger Woods was the most famous athlete on the planet, a transcendent star of almost unfathomable fame and fortune living what appeared to be the perfect life - married to a Swedish beauty and the father of two young children. Winner of fourteen major golf championships and seventy-nine PGA Tour events, Woods was the first billion-dollar athlete, earning more than $100 million a year in endorsements from the likes of Nike, Gillette, AT&T and Gatorade.
But it was all a carefully crafted illusion. As it turned out, Woods had been living a double life for years - one that exploded in the aftermath of a late-night crash that exposed his serial infidelity and sent his personal and professional life off a cliff. In Tiger Woods, Jeff Benedict and Armen Keteyian dig deep behind the headlines to produce a richly reported answer to the question that has mystified millions of sports fans for nearly a decade: who is Tiger Woods?
Drawing on more than four hundred interviews with people from every corner of Woods's life - friends, family members, teachers, romantic partners, swing coaches, business associates, Tour pros and members of Woods's inner circle - Benedict and Keteyian construct a captivating psychological profile of an African-American child programmed by an attention-grabbing father and the original Tiger Mom to be the 'chosen one', to change not just the game of golf, but the world as well. But at what cost?
Benedict and Keteyian provide the startling answers in a biography destined to make headlines and linger in the minds of readers for years to come.
