The Warrior Mindset


Foreword by Tom HardyAs a ten-time Brazilian jiu jitsu World Champion and a former MMA World Champion, Roger Gracie is widely considered to be the greatest practitioner of Brazilian jiu jitsu of all time. His grandfather, the great Carlos Gracie, was the architect of modern day Brazilian jiu jitsu and for Roger, growing up in the famous Gracie family, every conversation seemed to be about fighting, Within this family of supermen, this self-contained, chubby kid promised little; in fact, nobody expected Roger to become the warrior he later did. But once he had made up his mind as a teenager to become the greatest, Roger's star was firmly aligned with his purpose. Over time, he gradually became unstoppable, both in his thirst for jiu jitsu knowledge and in his single-mindedness to strip back overly complex moves to their simplest most effective forms, just as his grandfather had done before him. In The Tao of the Champion, for the first time, Gracie shares lessons from a career of fighting at the highest level including: -'Learning to breathe', -'Controlling your emotions', -'Mastering your thinking', and '-'Developing Quiet Inner Grace'. Going far beyond the mat, this hard won wisdom is applicable to everyone from any background and in any walk of life who longs to find strength, courage, health, and peace.

CAN AGEING RUNNER AND AWARD-WINNING AUTHOR PAUL TONKINSON CONQUER THE WORLD'S TOUGHEST FOOT RAC? geing as a runner is no joke. Paul Tonkinson discovers that in running, as in life, you are gradually overtaken by a stream of young people wearing clothes you couldn’t get in to and in shoes you don’t recognise. He observes that your relationship with running changes – you no longer run as fast as you can, you run as fast as your body can handle, which is slow. So, embrace it. Why not the toughest footrace on earth? The Marathon Des Sables, a week long, 250km self-sufficient sweat fest across the Sahara Desert. What could possibly go wron? urns out… lots. While training for the event, calves explode, tendons pop, knees disintegrate. Years come and go, time seems to be running out as the race seems an impossible dream and then, in 2024 when fitness is finally achieved, a freak accident. Paul is run over by dogs, hospitalised, all hope is lost…Spring 2025, the planets align. Tonkinson snags entry to MDS, two months till race time. It’s on – the last hurrah. Get the gear down from the attic, apply the toe jelly and find that mandatory whistle. With such little time to train, he can’t compete any more that’s for sure. So the question is more basic: can he possibly finish?

Príbehy šampionátov


Táto kniha ponúka jedinečný pohľad na takmer storočné obdobie dvadsiatich dvoch majstrovstiev sveta vo futbale. Príbehy šampionátov nie sú kronikou výsledkov, ale pútavým rozprávaním o svete, ktorý sa pravidelne stretáva na jednom turnaji – o radosti z víťazstiev, dramatických zvratoch, ale aj o politike, spoločenských zmenách a emóciách miliónov fanúšikov. Autor Daniel Kollár prevedie čitateľa jednotlivými šampionátmi od prvého turnaja v Uruguaji v roku 1930 až po najnovšie majstrovstvá sveta. Každý z nich prináša vlastný príbeh: o futbalových legendách, nezabudnuteľných zápasoch, krajinách, ktoré sa na niekoľko týždňov stali centrom planéty, ale aj o dobe, v ktorej sa turnaje odohrávali. Majstrovstvá sveta totiž vždy odrážali svoju epochu – vojny, politické napätie, spoločenské nádeje aj globálne zmeny. Kniha je preto viac než len športovou publikáciou. Je literatúrou faktu, ktorá spája futbal s dejinami sveta a ukazuje, že majstrovstvá sveta sú jedným z mála momentov, keď sa celý svet na chvíľu pozerá rovnakým smerom – na zelený trávnik a príbehy, ktoré sa na ňom rodia.

Sgt Wilko's Defending Champions


Sgt Wilko’s Defending Champions follows the fortunes (or misfortunes) of Leeds United in the inaugural season of the Premier League, a transformative period that also saw the launch of the UEFA Champions League, the back-pass rule and Sky TV’s ‘whole new ball game’. The season began with lifting silverware and included an extraordinary European campaign as Howard Wilkinson’s champions continued to thrive at the impenetrable fortress of Elland Road. But the controversial sale of Eric Cantona to their arch-rivals and a mystifying drought of away wins turned hopes of retaining the title into fears for Premier League survival. Written as a retrospective, match-by-match diary of the author’s first year as a season-ticket holder, this is the story of a young boy dealing with the trials and tribulations of falling in love with a football club, a nostalgic and entertaining account of what went wrong for Wilko’s men and an ode to the beautiful game, back when it was still a thing of beauty.

Elsewhere


Elsewhere is the definitive oral history of British skateboarding. Told chronologically from the beginning of its identity shift to the start of the new millennium, the book explores the lasting influence British skateboarding continues to have on fashion, film, photography, art and media. While British skateboarders moved the sport away from its Californian roots, embracing a different terrain with skaters in the north taking to ramps in abandoned warehouses and in the south skating the streets of new developments, the story of skateboarding in the UK goes far beyond the act of riding a board. As important were the cottage industries of clothes manufacture, photography, filmmaking and zine production which were inspired by British skateboarders: many of which are now multi-million-pound brands which regulate mainstream culture today. Suitable not only for skaters but for anyone interested in film, fashion and photography, Elsewhere tells the story of skateboarding in the UK during the pivotal era of 1987–2002 when the British iteration of the sport developed its own unique identity and subsequently went on to inspire and transform global popular culture.

New Kids in the World Cup


In 1990 a fearless group of players changed the sport of soccer in the United States forever. Young, bronzed, and mulleted, they were America's finest athletes in a sport their country loved to hate. Even sportswriters rooted against them. Yet this team defied massive odds and qualified for the World Cup, making possible America's current obsession with the world's most popular game. Back then players earned twenty dollars a day, the crowds at home games cheered for their opponents, and the fields were often mismarked. In Latin America the U.S. team bus had a machine gun turret mounted on the back, locals sabotaged their hotels, and in the stadiums spectators rained coins, batteries, and plastic bags of urine down on the U.S. players. The world considered the U.S. team impostors. Yet on the biggest stage of all, in the 1990 World Cup, this undaunted American squad and their wise coach earned the adoration of Italy's star players and their fans in a gladiator-like match in Rome's deafening Stadio Olimpico. From windswept soccer fields in the U.S. heartland to the CIA-infested cauldron of Central America and the Caribbean, behind the recently toppled Iron Curtain and into the great European soccer cathedrals, New Kids in the World Cup is the origin story of modern American men's soccer. It's the true adventure of America's most important soccer team—and the one that made America finally fall in love with soccer.
