  How to get rid of the Archer's...

  Everyone who has progressed past the stage of ‘just shooting’ knows that moment of mental confusion when the subconscious mind somehow takes control over the conscious attempt to release the string steadily for accurate, repeatable shots, leaving a surprise poor shot and a sense of amnesia about what led up to it.
  Don’t PANIC – it‘s just a reflex!
  The archery world has long referred to this as ’target panic’. Yet most affected archers feel no sense of panic at all: they plan the shot, feel comfortable about taking it, and are unafraid of the bow recoiling or the arrow hitting its mark. In fact, they experience no ‚panic’ at all.
  Yet most find that they experience the same outcome: an uncontrolled release, followed by that baffled feeling. As the arrow lands askew, and our memory of those critical moments goes blank, we ask ourselves „What happened there?”
  
  In this ground-breaking practical guide Jes Lysgaard applies his background in psychology and hypnotherapy to his experience as a traditional archer, to uncover what our minds are actually doing as we live this frustrating experience. Jes explains how this neural program has quietly become so deeply ingrained over the course of our hundreds of previous successful shots that, at that vital moment in our shot cycle, it knows “this is what good looks like; go now!”, quite outside our conscious control.
  Meanwhile, the cognitive process which we have rehearsed to hold and expand for an involuntary, perfectly stable release is still obediently determined to hold the string until it releases automatically. This sudden clash between opposing neural signals - the conscious ‘hold!’ and the subconscious ‘release now!‘ - gives rise to that bewildering mental flurry and yet another uncontrolled release. Not a ‘panic’ at all. Just the Archer’s Reflex.
  
  REGAIN CONTROL – REPROGRAM YOUR BRAIN
  In practical steps which you can follow as you practise, Jes shows how to deprogram your own Archer’s Reflex, and build in its place a new, positive, replacement neural program with which you can regain control over your shot cycle and fresh enjoyment of your shooting.

  Hoop Atlas - Mapping the...

  The bestselling author of Sprawlball, Kirk Goldsberry returns with a visual feast of a book—equal parts Book of Basketball and Shea Serrano—that uses sharp writing, his signature graphics, and cutting-edge statistical analyses to unpack how a handful of NBA superstars —MJ to Lebron to Jokic—have reshaped pro basketball and charted the course to the future of the NBA. 
  Every few years a talent comes along that disrupts everything we think we know about how the NBA should work. Whether it’s scoring, playmaking, or shooting, these are players and tactics that fundamentally challenge how the game is played and what greatness looks like on a basketball court. For a period of time, these players each become an “Atlas” for the league, carrying the weight of the NBA on their shoulders, but also providing the roadmap that points the way to the future of the sport. In tandem, they map out the modern NBA’s creation. 
  Goldsberry returns with a highly visual, electrifying tour through the last three decades of NBA history, showing the “Atlas” players that have led us out of the brutishness of 90s hoops and into the wide open spaces of the most skilled era in NBA history. Charting the course from Jordan to Jokic—with plenty of stops along the way for Iverson, Kobe, Curry, and of course Lebron—Goldsberry, who was instrumental in helping spur the NBA’s statistical revolution, has designed a vibrant new way to compare and debate the contributions of the best NBA players of all-time. Masterfully connecting NBA past and present through incisive writing and stunning visual statistical analyses, he shows how we’ve come to this unprecedented moment, a time when offensive efficiency and shooting percentages are higher than ever. 
  Using beautifully designed, four-color shot maps and illustrations, Goldsberry offers a graphic journey through the last thirty years of the NBA that covers up to the 2023 season and is as much fun to look at as it is to read. The end result offers stories and analyses of a select group of NBA superstars that open up lively debates, reveal just how singular their talents truly are, and characterize the dramatic 21st-century metamorphosis of the best basketball league in the world.

  Lightning hit the cliff high above us, sending a dumper-load of rocks thrumming like jagged cannonballs out of the clouds to explode around us. Bill took a direct hit on his helmet, which was smashed. He hung limply and silently on the rope. His face, which was streaming with blood from a gash in his head, was a ghastly shade of white. For a horrible moment, we thought he was dead, but he came round slowly. We suggested bivouacking until he recovered but Bill, who always thrived in adversity, was having none of it. Having bandaged his head and reversed his helmet so that the hole in it wasn't over the hole in his head, and at his insistence bunged a fag in his mouth to keep him happy, we continued into the storm up the last 300 metres of the snow covered cliff. We emerged triumphantly over the cornice into the blizzard and whiteout, another first ascent in the bag.' Adventures in the Northlands is a collection of short stories written by British adventurer and mountaineer Tony Howard. From a life spent in the mountains and wilderness, Tony recalls epic tales of climbing, kayaking and adventure from Greenland, the kon and, his home-from-home, Norway.
