Little, Brown Book Group Zimmer Men
Book SynopsisTen years after his classic Rain Men - ''cricket''s answer to Fever Pitch,'' said the Daily Telegraph - Marcus Berkmann returns to the strange and wondrous world of village cricket, where players sledge their team-mates, umpires struggle to count up to six, the bails aren''t on straight and the team that fields after a hefty tea invariably loses. This time he''s on the trail of the Ageing Cricketer, having suddenly realised that he is one himself and playing in a team with ten others every weekend. In their minds they run around the field as fast as ever; it''s only their legs that let them down. ZIMMER MEN asks all the important questions of middle-aged cricketers. Why is that boundary rope suddenly so far away? Are you doomed to getting worse as a cricketer, or could you get better? How many pairs of trousers will your girth destroy in one summer? Chronicling the 2004 season, with its many humiliating defeats and random injuries, this coruscatingly funny new book laughs in the face oTrade ReviewA book about, and for, anyone whose dreams outreach their abilities * GUARDIAN *[a] humorous masterpiece to treasure * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY *Berkmann's observation and wit reveals all that's truly great about cricket and the spirit of the sport.

Book SynopsisRick Broadbent is a sports writer for the Times, for whom he covers MotoGP, among other things. He has previously witten books on football, boxing and athletics as well as, most recently, collaborating with motorcycle legend Ron Haslam on his autobiography Rocket Men, published by Bantam Press in July 2008.Trade ReviewThis is a stunning book. It is history but reads like a "can't put it down" novel - hardly surprising considering it grippingly features the two greatest motor cyclists of all time, Mike Hailwood and Valentino Rossi. Rick Broadbent tells the enthralling story of a thrilling and dangerous sport like never before and it had me by the throat -- Murray WalkerIt was an odd decision to alternate a celebration of the brilliance of Valentino Rossi, today's Italian motorcycling superstar, with a reconstruction of episodes from the life and times of Mike Hailwood, the biking ace of the 1960s and 1970s, but it succeeds brilliantly. The technology is quite different, and so are the rewards, but the requirements of a true racer - courage and skill - are unchanging. In this hymn of praise to those who live closest to the edge, you can smell the grease and burning rubber -- Nick Pitt * The Sunday Times *Peppered with anecdotes and insight... a fantastic, page turning read which presents a window into the personalities which are normally only seen on the track or in a press conference * MotoGPBlog *A fantastic new book... well worth getting * MotoGP World *Impressive * Leicester Mercury *

Profile Books Ltd Archery Anatomy
Book SynopsisThis unique book looks for the first time at archery techniques from the point of view of the interrelationship between the anatomy of the human body and the anatomy of the bow. By highlighting the primary power sources involved in the performance of the sport it enables coaches and archers alike to understand and perfect their skills in ways that use the natural movements of archer and bow in co-ordination.Previous books have emphasised, quite rightly, the importance of the right mental approach to the sport - concentration, determination, motivation and visualisation. However, mental powers on their own are not enough to guarantee a good performance. Archery is a natural psychophysical motor skill that depends on efficient use of bones, joints, muscles and tendons. Archery Anatomy combines clear, accurate drawings and diagrams with explanatory text to provide a primer on the subject that is accessible even to those with no technological bias.The book is not tied to any specific natioTrade ReviewThis is a book which everyone involved with the coaching or instruction of archery should possess, including those at the receiving end...

Book SynopsisA treasure trove of tales of incredible waves and remarkable riders to stoke the fire of armchair surfers and hardcore wave-riders alike.Trade Review"Expect an exhilarating ride alongside surfing legends.” (Coast) “With tales of monster waves, deadly sharks and perfect breaks, this book alone gets every surfer stoked – even if there isn't a wave in the sea.” (Cornwall Today) “Entertainingly written and painstakingly researched: there's something for everyone.” (Carve Surfing) “Accessible and diverting. There are a great many stories here, all short and true. The language is at once literary and idiomatic...Wade comes across as so steeped in respect for the ocean that the overriding impression is of authenticity. The book succeeds through a confluence of subject matter and structure. Some of these stories will transport us, others may pass us by, and the feeling is eerily akin to that of surfing itself.” (Times Literary Supplement 2013)Table of ContentsPreface; Going to Extremes; Tragic Tales; When the Big Stuff Bites; Gonzo Interlude; Contests & Communities; Worldwide Waves; Obsessions; Inspiration

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Faster
Book SynopsisA fascinating and funny investigation into cyclists'' incessant pursuit of speed by one of the sport''s top professionals.For professional cyclists, going faster and winning are, of course, closely related. Yet surprisingly, for many, a desire to go faster is much more important than a desire to win. Someone who wants to go faster will work at the details and take small steps rather than focusing on winning. Winning just happens when you do everything right it's the doing everything right that's hard. And that's what fascinates and obsesses Michael Hutchinson.With his usual deadpan delivery and an awareness that it's all mildly preposterous, Hutchinson looks at the things that make you faster training, nutrition, the right psychology and explains how they work, and how what we know about them changes all the time. He looks at the things that make you slower, and why, and how attempts to avoid them can result in serious athletes gradually painting themselves into the most pecuTrade Reviewif you want to know how to turn yourself into a Merckx or a Froome, read Faster * Guardian *Fascinating, convincing and witty * Outdoor Fitness *A revelatory examination of what makes athletes tick * Independent *It’s an amusing, informative and hugely satisfying read that’s genuinely difficult to tear yourself away from. * Cycling Weekly *Well researched and delivered perfectly; definitely one for thepermanent collection. * Road.cc *For anyone with akeen interest in time trialling or an obsession with speed this book is amust-read. * Wheelsuckers.co.uk *Table of ContentsIntroduction: An accidental athlete 1 Like a racehorse: the art of being an athlete 2 Blood, oxygen and muscle: the physiology of an athlete 3 1,400 calories an hour: fuelling an athlete 4 3.49.999: perfecting an athlete 5 A rider like a robot: the psychology of an athlete 6 Free speed: the technology 7 Talent and genetics Afterword: the never-ending search

Skyhorse Publishing The Science of Golf: The Math, Technology, and
Book SynopsisThe perfect gift for golf enthusiasts of all experience levels! In The Science of Golf, seasoned sports broadcaster Will Haskett examines the science behind the beloved sport of golf. The author covers topics like the swing, the body, the mind, the equipment, the agronomy of the course, analytics, and much more. Haskett explains what makes the ball fly, how different swings can accomplish the same result, why different playing fields impact each shot, and how a rapid improvement in technology has made the sport easier and more accessible. With insight from industry experts, sports scientists, and some of golf’s best minds, this book may surprise golf gurus and science geeks alike! Trade Review“The past two decades have produced an explosion of scientific results that have increased our understanding of golf. These results aren’t just of academic interest. Players have used this new science to gain competitive edges, both on and off the golf course, because incremental advantages lead to lower scores and can make the difference between winning and losing. In the Science of Golf, Will Haskett gives a clear and engaging account of the most important advances in technology, equipment, fitness, the mental game, statistics, strategy, and more. Highly recommended!” – Mark Broadie, author of Every Shot Counts“Will does a fantastic job of explaining what can be a complicated subject very simply. If you’re a golf nerd like me who likes the nuts and bolts, or someone who just wants to understand the general secret sauce that makes a modern-day PGA Tour player, this book provides great insight. Dare I say, it might even improve your own game.” – Arron Oberholser, Golf Channel analyst and former PGA TOUR player “I appreciate how Will Haskett looks at the game. Anyone can recite cold, hard statistics, but it takes a true knowledge of the numbers, and the game, to draw a story out of them, and that’s what Will does. Will uses the analytics to complement his storytelling, not replace it.” – Sean Martin, Lead, Editorial, PGATOUR.COM

Within 33 days, he was racing again at Monza. His wounds bled, he had no eyelids. He was terrified. A year later, he reclaimed his World Championship title.In To Hell and Back he reveals how he battled fear to stage a comeback that seemed beyond human endurance. Then it’s Lauda vs Hunt, an epic rivalry later dramatized in 2013’s Hollywood blockbuster Rush, and he looks back on the strict childhood and parental disapproval that he believes gave him an ‘addiction to excellence’. There’ll never be another like him.
