Play It Forward

An exploration of incredible physical feats-some well-known and some only passed around watering holes and campfires-"that will have readers cheering" by endurance athlete and journalist Shannon Hogan that takes us into the world of those who have pushed themselves through the "unforgiving hours" to achieve greatness and redefine modern outdoor adventuring. (Publishers Weekly)From the frozen wilds of Alaska's treacherous trails and the rugged majesty of Colorado's peaks to the unyielding currents of Puget Sound and Canada's Inside Passage, The Unforgiving Hours offers us an intimate window into the toughest contests in sports. Whether it's a blistering race across the furnace trails of gold country in the Sierra Nevadas, a grueling swim in frigid water to break the Ice Mile Distance record, or a competition on the biggest triathlon stage with a determination beyond perceived limitations, each journey reveals the resilience and humor it takes to face the unknown and achieve endurance sports greatness. These stories of ordinary women and men who kept going even when things went wrong, especially when the weather and tides did not cooperate, attest to the drive, grit, and patience that exists in all of us. Pushing through exhaustion, setbacks, and moments of darkness and doubt, these athletes prove that greatness isn't about perfection-it's about perseverance. Their triumphs, large and small, are a testament to the power of adaptability, passion, and the sheer will to keep going, one breath, one step, one stroke, and one mile at a time. <ul><li>In the pages of The Unforgiving Hours, you will read the stories of: Gunhild Swanson running the Western States 100 Endurance Run five days shy of her seventy-first birthday</li><li>Kelly Danielson and team Sail Like a Girl, the first all-female sailing team to win the Race to Alaska</li><li>Gordon Wadsworth racing the hardest mountain bike race in the world while opting for only one bike gear</li><li>Lynne Cox breaking the record for swimming across the English Channel at age 15 Yuichiro Hidaka dreaming of eating potato chips while running the Boston double for the fourth time</li><li>Seana Hogan, the current cycling transcontinental female record holder (set at age 35) fighting the race clock and Father Time to finish Race Across America at age 60</li><li>John Stamstad voyaging to Alaska for an all-night February bike race in the bush of the Last Frontier</li><li>Melissa Kegler training for two years to break the American Ice Mile Distance record in 39.2ºF water</li><li>Chris Jones embarking on The Last Great Race-six 100-mile ultramarathons to be completed over the course of one summer</li><li>And Tina Ament, along with Anne Thilges, crossing the finish line at 16 hours, 18 minutes, and 5 seconds to establish one of the most inspiring records in endurance sports.</li></ul> Blending top-notch sports writing, armchair adventure and travel, and an insightful thesis on the human spirit, The Unforgiving Hours is an indelible chronicle of odysseys that showcase the determination, creativity, joy, strength, and inspiration at the heart of endurance sports.

The world says a leader is born. Athleadership proves each one is built—conditioned from within—to become the leader the moment demands. The speed of change today has outpaced our natural ability to lead through it. Our brains were not designed for this level of volatility. Yet athletes are wired for change. Their daily practice and conditioning literally rewire the brain to adapt faster, recover stronger, and decide better under pressure. In Athleadership, leadership pioneer and CEO Melissa Dawn Simkins translates this elite athletic mindset into a new system for modern leadership—one built on the science of performance and the soul of purpose. Grounded in neuroscience and performance psychology, Athleadership fuses the rigor of elite mindset training with the psychology of human behavior to create a measurable new model for performance under pressure. Simkins exposes The Performance Paradox, the silent crisis of burnout and disengagement eroding today’s high performers, and offers a proven path to lead with conviction instead of exhaustion. The New Playbook for Personal and Organizational Leadership <ul> <li>Flip pressure into practice and transform stress into strength through agility, resilience, alignment, and wellbeing.</li> <li>Anchor success in purpose by turning mission, vision, and values into a living compass that drives clarity, consistency, and results.</li> <li>Break free from the Performance Paradox to stop winning on the outside while losing yourself inside.</li> <li>Redefine winning from constant proving to purposeful alignment—where wellbeing and performance move as one.</li> </ul> With more than two decades of experience shaping leaders across global brands and professional sports, Simkins reveals a new era of leadership—one that empowers individuals and organizations alike to build trust, purpose, and performance from within. Because the world doesn’t need more leaders chasing applause. It needs more leaders built from within

From the New York Times bestselling author of Saban and Lords of the Fly comes an exquisite collection of angling stories that span the twenty-first century. The thirty-one pieces in Rivers Always Reach the Sea—essays, as well as profiles of some of the biggest names in angling, including Lefty Kreh and Andy Mill—take the reader from the rainforests of Chile to the windswept tundra of Russia, from the remote mangrove-choked basins of Florida’s Everglades to the congested littoral zone of New York City, and to many places in between. The quarry includes trout, Atlantic salmon, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass, but the real quest is for something else entirely. Told in a voice described by the novelist, Carl Hiaasen, as “funny, wistful, and wonderful,” the stories in Rivers Always Reach the Sea keep the focus on the “why” of the sport of fly fishing, and not the “how.”

WINNER OF THE SPORTS BOOK AWARDS 2024 CYCLING BOOK OF THE YEAR A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: SPORT NOMINATED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 'An absorbing mix of historical sleuthing and travel writing' -The Telegraph '[a] fascinating and often touching book... Wonderful' -The Times When cycling commentator Ned Boulting bought a length of Pathé news film featuring a stage of the Tour de France from 1923 he set about learning everything he could about it - taking him on an intriguing journey that encompasses travelogue, history and detective story. In the autumn of 2020 Ned Boulting (ITV head cycling commentator and Tour de France obsessive) bought a length of Pathé news film from a London auction house. All he knew was it was film from the Tour de France, a long time ago. Once restored it became clear it was a short sequence of shots from stage 4 of the 1923 Tour de France. No longer than 2.5 minutes long, it featured half a dozen sequences, including a lone rider crossing a bridge. Ned set about learning everything he could about the sequence - studying each frame, face and building - until he had squeezed the meaning from it. It sets him off in fascinating directions, encompassing travelogue, history, mystery story - to explain, to go deeper into this moment in time, captured on his little film. Join him as he explores the history of cycling and France just five years after WWI.

A Finalist for the 2025 Lambda Literary Award for LGBTQ+ Nonfiction. A Finalist for the 2024 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History and the 2025 Mark Lynton History Prize. Named one of the Best Books of 2024 by The New Yorker, NPR and BookPage. "Michael Waters performs an Olympian act of storytelling, using the stories of these extraordinary athletes to explore in brilliant detail the struggle for understanding and equality." -Jonathan Eig, author of King: A Life, winner of the Pulitzer Prize The story of the early trans athletes and Olympic bureaucrats who lit the flame for today's culture wars. In December 1935, Zden¿k Koubek, one of the most famous sprinters in European women's sports, declared he was now living as a man. Around the same time, the celebrated British field athlete Mark Weston, also assigned female at birth, announced that he, too, was a man. Periodicals and radio programs across the world carried the news; both became global celebrities. A few decades later, they were all but forgotten. And in the wake of their transitions, what could have been a push toward equality became instead, through a confluence of bureaucracy, war, and sheer happenstance, the exact opposite: the now all-too-familiar panic around trans, intersex, and gender nonconforming athletes. In The Other Olympians, Michael Waters uncovers, for the first time, the gripping true stories of Koubek, Weston, and other pioneering trans and intersex athletes from their era. With dogged research and cinematic flair, Waters also tracks how International Olympic Committee members ignored Nazi Germany's atrocities in order to pull off the Berlin Games, a partnership that ultimately influenced the IOC's nearly century-long obsession with surveilling and cataloging gender. Immersive and revelatory, The Other Olympians is a groundbreaking, hidden-in-the-archives marvel, an inspiring call for equality, and an essential contribution toward understanding the contemporary culture wars over gender in sports.

'Kimber is a 22nd-century cricket writer' - The Guardian Colourful cricket history meets expert analysis in this richly researched exploration of the art of batting. Most batters just do their best, yet the top players create art. It is physically impossible to face an 80mph delivery and track it with your eyes, yet the greatest batters do more than just watch the ball, they can see into the future. This book is about the batters who see what mortals don't. Javed Miandad purposefully makes errors to manipulate the field, Sachin Tendulkar dug up a pitch to take on Warne, Shivnarine Chanderpaul practised non-stop on a beach with tennis balls until he mastered technique and Joe Root's great play against spin is known to be a confluence of three random events. Others, such as Smith, Pietersen and Richards, carried on the work of a man 100 years before their time, and Ranji changed cricket with a bucket. Their methods and stories are different, but their currency is the same: runs. Through interviews with cricketing greats such as David 'Bumble' Lloyd, Nasser Hussain, Rahul Dravid and Brian Lara, this book shows you the science, skill and culture that made the 50 greatest batters of all time - and, ultimately, how they conquered leather with willow.

Formula One: The Champions

A unique and unparalleled look into the nature and relationship of two of the pillars in the NFL's greatest dynasty. The greatest dynasty in NFL history stood on two pillars - Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Together they forged a working relationship that provided thrilling results that would change the NFL forever. But what was the nature of that relationship? How did it function? How and when did it falter? How did these two figures come together on a national - and global - stage and create the most dominant team in NFL history? Was it driver and passenger? Mentor and mentee? Superstar and mad scientist? Phenom and tactician? Or were they equals? The Yin and Yang that made the New England Patriots championships possible? It is the greatest unanswered question in NFL history that sparks animated debate across the league, and the answer is more complex and more fraught than anyone really understands. Brady vs. Belichick: Who deserves the credit for nine Super Bowl appearances and six Super Bowl championships? Veteran NFL insider and New York Times bestselling author Gary Myers draws on his unique and unparalleled access to Belichick and Brady over the course of the two decades, but also to the myriad players, coaches, personnel and family, to get to the bottom of this argument and resolve it once and for all. He drills into the numbers, analyzes the psychology and sociology of this partnership, and use the powerful wand of perspective and context to illuminate the greatest duo that has ever graced the game.
