  Golf is a very hard game to play..."der" everyone knows that. It's also a very technical game and it produces more than its fair share of temper tantrums, self-abuse, expletives and a vast array of emotions. 
  These things can dramatically impact on your game and ultimately your score. 
  So, how do you deal with it? 
  5 Irons Don't Float is written from a golfer's perspective and looks at the more common elements of anger that severely interfere with the game. If you abuse yourself during play, yell, scream, swear like a trooper, throw clubs or allow emotion to spiral out of control, then how can you possibly play well? 
  And, it's a habit...you let this happen, perhaps unknowingly but it was your choice to be a grumpy player. So, let's break that habit today!

  New York Times Bestseller: An “intimate, insightful, unflinching” portrait of the cyclist as he trains for—and triumphs in—the Tour de France (Jon Krakauer, New York Times–bestselling author of Into the Wild). 
   
  This is an extraordinary story of greatness pushed to its limits; a vivid, behind-the-scenes portrait of perhaps the most accomplished athlete of our time as he vies for a historic sixth straight victory in the toughest sporting event on the planet. It is the true story of a superlative sports figure fighting on all fronts—made newly vulnerable by age, fate, fame, doping allegations, a painful divorce, and an unprecedented army of challengers—while mastering the exceedingly difficult trick of being Lance Armstrong, a combination of world-class athlete, celebrity, regular guy, and, for many Americans, secular saint. 
   
  With a new afterword by the author, this updated edition features in-depth reporting on Armstrong’s unprecedented seventh consecutive Tour de France victory; new blood doping allegations; his continuing personal and legal battles; and his retirement. A fascinating journey through the little-known landscape of professional bike racing, Lance Armstrong’s War provides a hugely insightful look into the often inspiring, always surprising core of a remarkable athlete and the world that shapes him. 
   
  “Well-researched and entertaining . . . his reporting is, quite simply, amazing.” —The New York Times 
   
  “Fueled by superb reporting and the built-in suspense of the 2004 Tour, Lance Armstrong’s War is the equal of its distinguished and very complicated subject.” —Booklist (starred review) 
   
  “Brisk and brilliant . . . captures the fabulous life and fast times of an international icon—and pierces the mystic heart of motivation itself.” —Hampton Sides, New York Times–bestselling author of Ghost Soldiers

  From an Olympic gold medal–winning coach, a new playbook for effective athlete education and team building 
   
   
   
  Championship results require championship behaviors—it's as simple as that. In this essential book, Hugh McCutcheon provides a proven framework for competitive excellence based in motor learning, psychology, and decades of coaching experience and success. 
   
   
   
  Championship Behaviors provides athletes, parents of athletes, and coaches a defined path to the "how" of significant achievement while simply and clearly explaining the research behind the "why." McCutcheon speaks to the need for aspiring athletes to work, learn, and compete and the responsibility coaches have to teach, coach, and mentor. As he says, "We won't always have five-star talent, but we can often make up the difference by being five-star teachers, learners, and competitors." 
   
   
   
  A sought-after coach and consultant, McCutcheon also illuminates the value of integrating the physical, mental, and social aspects of sport to maximize chances of competitive success.

  Playmaker: My Life and the Love...

  ‘On the pitch he was a magician’ – Arsène Wenger 
  The first full autobiography from former footballer and England manager Glenn Hoddle 
  Glenn Hoddle was one of the most celebrated footballers of his generation. A wonderfully talented No. 10 – he formed part of the great Spurs teams of the early 1980s and cut his teeth in the blood and thunder of an England team that prioritised aggression over creativity. 
  Often seen as a player ‘out of time’, Glenn was a playmaker in the purest sense. A creator and a goal scorer, he rose through the Tottenham youth academy – playing under Keith Burkinshaw and crossing paths with the likes of club legends Bill Nicholson and Danny Blanchflower – before going on to play in Monaco under the tutelage of Arsène Wenger. In Playmaker, he looks back on his rise as a prodigious young footballer and talks at length about his career that took him from cleaning the cockerel at White Hart Lane to managing the England football team at a World Cup. 
  From scoring in an FA Cup final to winning the league in France; from revitalising Chelsea in the early 1990s, to managing the fall-out after David Beckham’s infamous sending off at the 1998 World Cup; from surviving a near fatal cardiac arrest at the age of 61, to continuing to work within the game he loves – Playmaker is a life lead through football, and an autobiography of one of the game’s most admired, thoughtful and respected personalities. 
  The book Playmaker beautifully depicts Hoddle's journey in the world of soccer, from it being a mere recreation to him becoming one of the best. His top-notch coaching skills and the ability to picture the game from a unique perspective sets him apart in the sports world. 
  For fans of Mike Donovan (Football's Braveheart), Peter Crouch (How to Be an Ex-Footballer), Roy Keane (The Second Half), Norman Giller (The Man Who Put a Curse on Muhammad Ali), and Graeme Souness (Graeme Souness – Football).
