Some Dumb Cliche About Death: A Prose Poem Memoir by Rollandsson Abel (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Some Dumb Cliche About Death is an adventurous prose poem memoir set in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Pummeled by grief over the loss of his vision, his father and his marriage, the author seeks solace deep in the woods. As he forages a new path forward, the forest shimmers with Magical Realism. He experiences a visitation from Woody Guthrie, invents his own brand of beer and chews on some ancient cherry Pop Rocks. All the while, Death tracks him every step of the way. Engaged in a real struggle for survival that only the mountains, Native land and a thunderstorm can offer, he emerges from his quest grateful to be alive. Some Dumb Cliche About Death was inspired in part by Charles Simic's poem 'Eyes Fastened with Pins', where 'Death' himself embodies a human character. This book is the second half of a prose poem memoir series. Each half stands alone and can be read in any order.

This book is about Slow Running. This is a short book with a simple theme: that running should be fun. Slow Running is about running for fun: enjoyably, sustainably and without injury: taking the time to enjoy being there and letting yourself feel what you are doing. Along the way you will learn to run more lightly, to feel better as you run, to listen to your body, to pace yourself naturally, and to vary your style and pace and stride to suit the day, the path, and how you feel. Slow Running lets you focus: on what you are doing, where you are, how you feel. It lets you be there, in the moment, being active, out in the world, being part of it. It also helps you avoid injury, build a firm base of running miles, and develop a lighter, stronger running style: but these benefits are secondary to the main point: Slow Running is fun.

At the center of this riveting tale is Paul, the prodigious protege of a coach whose name is synonymous with greatness. With dreams of glory and a heart full of ambition, Paul's every step is driven by the pursuit of excellence. When their legendary coach suddenly departs, the team is left adrift, struggling to find their footing, and Paul begins to unravel, pushing himself to the brink of self-destruction.

The Mental Game of Tennis: Peer Instruction for Junior Players (An Edition Specifically Written for Junior Girls Book 1) by Kyara Sutton (11 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Choosing to embark on the tennis journey has lifelong benefits. Tennis is an individual, elite sport. Participation in the game of tennis breeds leaders. Finding a way through a tough opponent even though you're having a bad day is persistence. Staying in the right side of your brain even when things are clearly not going well is persistence. Staying engaged until the very last point is persistence. Design a plan of action, a focal point for each day's practice session. By far, the most important issue is playing their game. That means exposing your strengths, hiding your weakness and running your best patterns to perfection. In essence, it's about pulling the opponent into your best style of tennis. Small adaptations, as well as complete different tactical approaches, are needed to be developed. Let's first take a look at what mental training actually is. Mental, emotional training is the practical application of finding solutions to common pitfalls. We often hear, "I have trouble closing out a 5-2 lead", "I play terrific in practice but horribly in matches", "I can't beat a moonball, pusher", "I can't handle cheaters!", "I have trouble focusing for the whole match!" Mental, emotional training focuses on solving these issues. You may be hesitant and a bit unclear about the role of mental or emotional training. This type of instruction involves more than simple fundamental stroke production. Developing the "hidden" skill set within your game is crucial for peak performance. It is a myth that only players with abnormal behavioral problems need mental or emotional guidance.

51 QUESTIONS FOR THE DIEHARD FAN: LOS ANGELES DODGERS by Ryder Edwards (8 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

The Dodgers won World Championships in Brooklyn and LA during the same decade and boast a devoted fan base on both coasts and all points in between; and today, thanks to past stars like Fernando Valenzuela and Chan Ho Park, that fan base is spread the world over. Every Major League team has a history -- but this is the franchise of Jackie Robinson. Every Major League team has players they call "heroes" -- but with Robinson you can drop the emphasis: he's truly an American icon, American hero, baseball legend, and Dodger great. This is the franchise of Walter Alston, Leo Durocher and Tommy Lasorda; Walter O'Malley, Larry MacPhail and Branch Rickey; the timeless calls of Vin Scully; and no fewer than 43 Hall of Fame players who spent a portion of their careers with the Dodgers. You can't tell the story of baseball's history without the Dodgers. This trivia book is intended to help diehard Dodger fans celebrate their beloved team. It's been a long time since April 21, 1890, when the franchise recorded its first official victory in the National League -- but 124 years and 10,000 wins later the team is still going strong, still producing great players and historic moments. Enjoy the trivia, Think Blue, and have fun reminiscing.
