Sinopsis

Bobby Beasley was a champion jockey. By 26, he had won a Cheltenham Gold Cup, a Champion Hurdle and a Grand National. But when he was 24, Bobby took his first drink and soon succumbed to alcoholism. He turned a corner after his friend, Nicky Rackard, urged him to attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Five years later, aged 38, Beasley rode Captain Christy to an amazing victory at the Cheltenham Gold Cup. In the history of unlikely comebacks, that of Irish jockey Bobby Beasley is the most heartwarming of them all.

    Chuck Noll - His Life's Work

    Chuck Noll won four Super Bowls and presided over one of the greatest football dynasties in history, the Pittsburgh Steelers of the '70s. Later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, his achievements as a competitor and a coach are the stuff of legend. But Noll always remained an intensely private and introspective man, never revealing much of himself as a person or as a coach, not even to the players and fans who revered him. 
     
     
     
    Chuck Noll did not need a dramatic public profile to be the catalyst for one of the greatest transformations in sports history. In the nearly four decades before he was hired, the Pittsburgh Steelers were the least successful team in professional football, never winning so much as a division title. After Noll's arrival, his quiet but steely leadership quickly remolded the team into the most accomplished in the history of professional football. And what he built endured well beyond his time with the Steelers—who have remained one of America's great NFL teams, accumulating a total of six Super Bowls, eight AFC championships, and dozens of division titles and playoff berths.

    If you want to learn how to shoot a bow & arrow, improve your archery skills, and become a better archer, then check out HowExpert Guide to Archery. 
    HowExpert Guide to Archery teaches readers everything a beginner archer needs to know. Everything from equipment, fine-tuning your form, archery etiquette to weird but helpful tips, the book covers everything you need to learn to become the best archer you can be. You will discover how to compete in competitions and hunt with your bow. 
    The author Miguel Rocha draws from years of real-life experience to put together a series of tips that helped him get started and made him an adequate archer in the long run. 
    Archery has a variety of uses and a variety of forms. This guide covers these variations and forms through various lessons, tips, and techniques to ultimately help you become better at archery. You will also learn lessons outside the act of shooting, such as creating your archery range, working out specific muscle groups, and preserving your equipment. The nature of this book ensures that you do not get tunnel vision for the act of shooting a bow but instead see the bigger picture that encompasses the entire sport of archery. 
    Additionally, you will discover the importance of the equipment, how to adjust your body when doing archery, and learn more tips to learn, improve, and master archery. 
    About the Expert 
    Miguel Rocha began archery when he was 12 years old. In the beginning, it was about mimicking his favorite superheroes, but as he grew older, the sport became second nature. Competing in local events with Olympic aspirations, Rocha honed his skills to become a master of the sport. Now in his late 20’s, archery has become more of a hobby than a career. Even so, he practices regularly to retain the skills he developed growing up. He is a writer, father, and always and forever an archer.
