Ninety Percent Mental
Author: Bob Tewksbury
Publisher: Da Capo Press
ISBN: 0738234931
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
Former Major League pitcher and mental skills coach for two of baseball's legendary franchises (the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants) Bob Tewksbury takes fans inside the psychology of baseball. In Ninety Percent Mental, Bob Tewksbury shows readers a side of the game only he can provide, given his singular background as both a longtime MLB pitcher and a mental skills coach for two of the sport's most fabled franchises, the Boston Red Sox and San Francisco Giants. Fans watching the game on television or even at the stadium don't have access to the mind games a pitcher must play in order to get through an at-bat, an inning, a game. Tewksbury explores the fascinating psychology behind baseball, such as how players use techniques of imagery, self-awareness, and strategic thinking to maximize performance, and how a pitcher's strategy changes throughout a game. He also offers an in-depth look into some of baseball's most monumental moments and intimate anecdotes from a "who's who" of the game, including legendary players who Tewksbury played with and against (such as Mark McGwire, Craig Biggio, and Greg Maddux), game-changing managers and executives (Joe Torre, Bruce Bochy, Brian Sabean), and current star players (Jon Lester, Anthony Rizzo, Andrew Miller, Rich Hill). With Tewksbury's esoteric knowledge as a thinking-fan's player and his expertise as a "baseball whisperer", this entertaining book is perfect for any fan who wants to see the game in a way he or she has never seen it before. Ninety Percent Mental will deliver an unprecedented look at the mound games and mind games of Major League Baseball.

A Carnival Of Losses
Author: Donald Hall
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 1328826317
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 229
Book Description
Former poet laureate of the United States Donald Hall’s final collection of essays, from the vantage point of very old age, once again “alternately lyrical and laugh-out-loud funny.”* *(New York Times) “Why should a nonagenarian hold anything back?” Donald Hall answers his own question in these self-knowing, fierce, and funny essays on aging, the pleasures of solitude, and the sometimes astonishing freedoms arising from both. Nearing ninety at the time of writing, he intersperses memories of exuberant days in his youth, with uncensored tales of literary friendships spanning decades—with James Wright, Richard Wilbur, Seamus Heaney, and other luminaries. Cementing his place alongside Roger Angell and Joan Didion as a generous and profound chronicler of loss, this final work is as original and searing as anything Hall wrote during his extraordinary literary lifetime.

Ninety-Nine Fire Hoops
Author: Allison Hong Merrill
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 164742190X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Allison Hong is not your typical fifteen-year-old Taiwanese girl. Unwilling to bend to the conditioning of her Chinese culture, which demands that women submit to men’s will, she disobeys her father’s demand to stay in their faith tradition, Buddhism, and instead joins the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Then, six years later, she drops out of college to serve a mission—a decision for which her father disowns her. After serving her mission in Taiwan, twenty-two-year-old Allison marries her Chinese-speaking American boyfriend, Cameron Chastain. But sixteen months later, Allison returns home to their Texas apartment and is shocked to discover that, in her two-hour absence, Cameron has taken all the money, moved out, and filed for divorce. Desperate for love and acceptance, Allison moves to Utah and enlists in an imaginary, unforgiving dating war against the bachelorettes at Brigham Young University, where the rules don’t make sense—and winning isn’t what she thought it would be.

Book Description
This is a true story of a boy born to farming parents during the later stage of World War II. Don Pannan's early childhood memories include talk of the war and fear of invasion by the Japanese. His early years were spent in the farming community of Binya near Griffith in southern New South Wales. At age 12 he was sent to a boarding hostel at Hay for secondary education. His mother moved into Griffith and he became a student at Griffith High School. He gained employment in a Public Service organisation and at around age 17, started a band with two friends. The band became a very popular band and played all around Griffith and surrounds all through the nineteen sixties. The sixties was a very exciting time for these young men and, indeed, for anyone who grew up through this great decade. He spent time in Sydney and Wagga before moving to Tamworth in 1979. He worked for Insurance Companies and eventually bought into a small insurance business which became a large and respected insurance business in Tamworth. The story is sprinkled with original poetry, which is something that comes easily to this Author, there is an addendum with many poems overall there are more than seventy original poems in this book. The story is about the life and times of Don Pannan, the Author, his life as a boy, his times at Hay, Griffith, Wagga, Sydney and Tamworth - a farm boy, a sixties Musician, a Public Servant, Insurance man, a Father, a Poet and a Grey Nomad.
