Story
In Wildlife Wars, Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories - alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching - from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met - on both sides of the law - as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
When Ball Four was published in 1970, it created a firestorm. Bouton was called a Judas, a Benedict Arnold and a “social leper” for having violated the “sanctity of the clubhouse.” Baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn tried to force Bouton to sign a statement saying the book wasn’t true. Ballplayers, most of whom hadn’t read it, denounced the book. It was even banned by a few libraries. Almost everyone else, however, loved Ball Four.

In The Keys to the Effortless Golf Swing, Michael McTeigue offers you a simple system of sequential body movements that produces a true swinging motion with every club in the bag. The result is increased distance and greater accuracy for all sizes, shapes, and ages of golfers for a minimum investment in learning time.

fun to read
This book is definitely fun to read/listen to. It's not long, just a little over half hour, right about the length of my morning commute. I actually stayed at the parking lot to finish the last bit of it before hopping off. It talks about getting used to the game and to the life itself. A lot things happen on the court are actually lessons for life. When i listen to it and think back to my days in the team with my mates, it just suddenly brings back all the memories. I still play to this day but not so much competitively. but i still enjoy the game. This book is definitely helpful for anyone enjoying the game itself and wanting some lesson to know more about it.

Your guide to basketball and life!
This audiobook is a short and sweet listen, but don't let that fool you by thinking it is no less useful and insightful! Marc Reed, shares his knowledge and passion for basketball but explaining the rules, tactics, and strategies of basketball and also relating them to life scenarios! As we know, it is not uncommon for high level athletes to excel in other areas of their life, this is because the mindset it takes to become a great athlete has direct carry-over into everything. I enjoyed listening to this and finished it in one sitting! This audiobook is perfect for the up-and-coming young basketball athletes and is a good reminder for high performance both on and off the court. I would highly recommend it!

What Every Coach Wants For Their Players
I try to drill these same concepts and skills into the players on my team.
Sometimes the players tune me out. They need to hear it from another source.
I'm going to recommend that everyone who plays for me get this book.
It not only covers all the fundamentals, it presents them in a way that truly useful on and off the court.

Sweet and Short.
The audiobook excels in breaking down technical aspects of basketball, such as passing, dribbling, and scoring, into digestible, easy-to-understand instructions that are perfect for beginners, yet insightful enough to offer value to more experienced players. What sets this guide apart is its dual focus: not only does it teach the fundamentals of the game, but it also delves into life skills like perseverance, dedication, and resilience, seamlessly linking these virtues to both sports and personal growth.
