„A futballista életében alighanem a tizenegyesrúgás jár a legnagyobb stresszel. Az ilyen helyzetek nem a technikai képzettség, hanem a mentális alkalmasság próbatételei.” „Ha legalább a felét tudtam volna annak, ami ebben a könyvben szerepel, sokkal nagyobb vitrinre lenne szükségem a trófeáimnak.” Edwin van der Sar (a Manchester United és a holland válogatott egykori kapusa) A tizenegyespárbaj a nemzetközi élsport egyik legsúlyosabb drámájaként él a köztudatban. A szorongással teli várakozás, az egyre fokozódó rettegés, a magányos séta a tizenegyespontig… És aztán egyetlen lövés, amelyet az egész világ lélegzet-visszafojtva vár. Még azok sem tudják kivonni magukat ezeknek a pillanatoknak a hatása alól, akik csak alkalomszerűen követik a futballt. De mi történik valójában a labdarúgó agyában és testében ezekben a rendkívül stresszes pillanatokban? Mi az oka, hogy vannak, akik remekelnek, míg mások összeomlanak a feladat súlya alatt? Végső soron mi dönt arról, hogy melyik fél tud felülemelkedni a másikon a tizenegyespárbajokban? Hol húzódik a határ a diadal és a katasztrófa között? Ebben az úttörő kutatásokat összegző könyvben a sportpszichológus Geir Jordet a tizenegyespárbajoknak szinte az összes elemét külön vizsgálatnak veti alá, és ezen keresztül meglepő felfedezéseket tesz a stresszről, illetve annak az emberre gyakorolt hatásairól. Két évtizednyi aprólékos kutatásra támaszkodva a szerző élénk színekkel lefestett esettanulmányokon keresztül avat be a futball leginkább idegőrlő pillanatainak kulisszái mögé. Jordet számos interjút készített szupersztárokkal, akik megosztották vele a gondolataikat. A tizenegyespárbajban, akárcsak a való életben, sokszor a parányi, alig észrevehető döntések jelentik a különbséget a siker és a kudarc között. Miután elolvastuk ezt a könyvet, friss belátásokkal gazdagodhatunk arról, hogy pontosan mi is zajlik ezekben a rendkívüli helyzetekben – és miként tudunk mi magunk is jobban teljesíteni nyomás alatt. „Lebilincselő, meglepő és mélyen emberi vizsgálódás a világ egyik legizgalmasabb színházáról.” James Graham, a labdarúgás világáról szóló Dear Anglia című színdarab írója

A Season on the Brink
''ENTHRALLING'' FourFourTwo''STIRRING'' Dublin Herald''FASCINATING'' Red and White Kop''ASTONISHING'' Bleacher ReportThe Sunday Times BestsellerTwentieth anniversary edition, fully updated with a new foreword from Rafael BenitezWhen Rafael Benitez was appointed manager of under-achieving Liverpool at the start of the 2004-05 season, the reaction of many fans was ''Who the **** is Rafael Benitez?''. After a wonderful spell at Valencia, the Spaniard arrived to take over Liverpool''s famous Boot Room, determined to change the club''s fortunes and win over a disillusioned Kop. In just one season, Benitez''s importation of Spanish players, coaching methods and diet led to a revolution, usurping José Mourinho''s Chelsea to reach the European Champions League final in Istanbul. It was a match that would go down in history as one of the greatest of all time. At half-time, Liverpool were 3-0 down to Carlo Ancelotti''s AC Milan, a team many regarded as the best in the world, filled with stars such as Paolo Maldini, Kaká and Andrea Pirlo. However, against all the odds, Liverpool produced a stunning comeback, with goals from club captain Steven Gerrard, Vladimir Šmicer and Xabi Alonso, before a dramatic penalty shoot-out saw the Reds clinch European glory. Featuring exclusive interviews with Benitez himself, assistant manager Pako Ayestarán and key first-team players, this is the behind-the-scenes story of Rafa''s remarkable success with Liverpool.
Get Your Tokens Ready
Starting with the first ever regular season matchup between the Mets and Yankees and ending with the last out of the 2000 Subway Series, Get Your Tokens Ready provides the most in-depth look ever published at both teams during the late 1990s and the 2000 season. The 1996 season ended with the Yankees winning their first World Series championship in eighteen years and receiving a grand parade through the streets of the city. The Mets exited the season still struggling to maintain managers and quality players and battling controversy in the clubhouse and off-field. By 2000, the Yankees, amid baseball’s first dynasty in a generation, appeared the undisputed kings of New York with three World Series titles in four seasons. The Mets, however, after years of irrelevance, had rebuilt their team not only to be competitive but to create one dramatic moment after another. Adding to the story were several people who had played or managed for both teams during their careers, most notably Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, David Cone, and Joe Torre. The result was a golden age of baseball for the city, culminating at long last in the two teams finally battling for New York’s baseball soul in the new millennium during the 2000 World Series. Detailing the moments you remember and some you may have forgotten-from fake mustaches to all-out melees, from wild pitch endings to thrown bat insanity, from heartache to celebration-Get Your Tokens Ready covers it all.

BIGGER! BETTER! BADDER!: WRESTLEMANIA III and the Year It All Changed
On an overcast day in 1987, the pro wrestling landscape was altered forever when a reported 93,173 fans converged on the Pontiac Silverdome outside Detroit to see Hulk Hogan defend his championship against Andre the Giant. For several years, Vincent Kennedy McMahon had been transforming old-time rasslin'' into mainstream ''sports entertainment,'' incorporating A-list celebrities into storylines and forcing even cynics to follow the proceedings. But the massive turnout for WrestleMania III convinced sponsors, licensees, and media conglomerates that the company that would become World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) was no longer a fringe diversion for the unwashed masses; it was now legitimate physical theatre worthy of global attention. From this point forward, it would be acceptable for devotees to make the annual pilgrimage to WrestleMania from the far corners of the Earth, the way others journeyed to the World Cup or Super Bowl. BIGGER! BETTER! BADDER! is the story behind the seminal event, told from the perspective of company executives, wrestlers who appeared on the card, fans who attended the show, and other wrestling personalities. But wrestling author and historian Keith Elliot Greenberg also examines the entire industry at the time, including insights from representatives from the rival promotions McMahon was putting out of business as pro wrestling transitioned from a regional phenomenon into an international juggernaut.
