Are you a good player, who struggles with consistency? How can you improve your game? Are you teaching hitters to have nice swings, or how to actually hit? How can you get practice swings to become game swings? Improving one’s mental game begins with realizing that you need one. Most athlete’s and coaches will admit that our game is approximately 80% mental. In Complete Game, author Rob Crews addresses these issues in an easy to understand approach. “There is an invisible wall blocking many athlete’s progress. We are spending so much time trying to get over it or under it. On the other hand, the people on the other side of the wall have changed their perception of the wall and walked right through it. The Law of your Mind can take the other Laws, which have specific limitations, far beyond their boundaries. And because we cannot see the Mind, we try to change the things we can actually see –such as the swing. Ever thought of changing your mind?” “There is an interconnectivity of Mind and Body that cannot be ignored. Mind Training must come first or be taught along with Body Control or mechanics. If we continue to teach them separately our players will not develop and mature properly as they move on to higher levels of competition. In order to realize success and consistency, we have to fuse Mind and Body principles together in our respective teaching models.”

Ask any surfer and he'll say there's more to the sport of surfing than riding waves-it's a lifestyle, a state of mind, the ultimate expression of freedom and individuality. Many even go so far to define it as a sub-culture. One thing is for certain, no matter what your view, there's no doubt that surfing has a unique, interesting, and often times hilarious language associated with it. With standard terms like "Dude" enduring for decades, to the more modern variation "Bruddah Man," it continues to evolve with every generation. Compiled from Riptionary.com, his database of terms submitted by surfers from points around the world, Scott A. Mathews, himself an avid surfer for many years, captures some of the most interesting, entertaining and informative entries sent to his website in Riptionary. Riptionary offers unique, interesting and informative insight into the sport of surfing as it takes you on an entertaining heuristic journey one word at a time through the language that is and defines surfing. Written in a casual, yet engaging manner, Riptionary gives you an entertaining, informative and uniquely insightful look into the sport of surfing.

Major League Baseball's Opening Day, 1951. Nineteen-year-old Mickey Mantle puts on the New York Yankees' famous white pinstriped uniform. His stomach roils. Sweat beads his brow. Today is his first major league game in front of a near-capacity crowd at Yankee Stadium, and there is one man Mickey doesn't want to disappoint above all others: his father. Mickey Mantle: Rookie in Pinstripes is the uplifting true story of how a painfully shy teenager from rural Commerce, Oklahoma, became one of the biggest stars in Major League Baseball. While he looked to Joe DiMaggio for inspiration and dreamed of someday playing with that great New York Yankee, Mickey's true hero was his dad. Raised during the Depression, Mickey learned how to catch, hit, and field the ball from his father, Elvin. In high school, Mickey suffered a football injury that revealed a serious bone disorder. He wondered if he would ever play baseball again. But with the support and love of his father, he overcame his affliction and signed with the New York Yankees in 1949. A moving story of Mickey's early years in baseball, from his difficult rookie season to his triumphant return in 1951, Mickey Mantle portrays the everlasting bond between father and son and the making of one of baseball's greatest legends.

"This would be exciting and informative enough if it simply described the growth of organized sports for the handicapped or described sports careers of men and women who are paraplegics and it does. What it adds is a great deal of information about attitudes toward the handicapped and facts about their capabilities." -Bulletin Center for Children's Books "It is a story of hope for the newly injured and their families as one reads of the accomplishment of others." -Catholic Library World "The history of wheelchair sports in the U.S. is well told in Wheelchair Champions." -Interracial Books for Children
