Title: What We Think About When We Think About Soccer Author: Simon Critchley Narrator: Liam Gerrard Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-18 Publisher: Tantor Audio Genres: Sports, Other Publisher's Summary: Soccer is the world's most popular sport, inspiring the absolute devotion of countless fans around the globe. But what is it about soccer that makes it so compelling to watch, discuss, and think about? Is it what it says about class, race, or gender? Is it our national, regional, or tribal identities? Simon Critchley thinks it's all of these and more. In his new book, he explains what soccer can tell us about each, and how each informs the way we interpret the game, all while building a new system of aesthetics, or even poetics, that we can use to watch the beautiful game. Critchley has made a career out of bringing philosophy to the people through popular subjects, and in What We Think About When We Think About Soccer he uses his considerable philosophical acumen to examine the sport that has captured the hearts and minds of millions.

I rather read Long range shooting from Ryan Kleckner! Love his book....waiting for his second book.

Fire on the Track Audiobook by Roseanne Montillo

Title: Fire on the Track Subtitle: Betty Robinson and the Triumph of the Early Olympic Women Author: Roseanne Montillo Narrator: Kathleen McInery Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Genres: Sports, Other Publisher's Summary: The inspiring and irresistible true story of the women who broke barriers and finish-line ribbons in pursuit of Olympic Gold When Betty Robinson assumed the starting position at the 1928 Olympic Games in Amsterdam, she was participating in what was only her fourth-ever organized track meet. She crossed the finish line as a gold medalist and the fastest woman in the world. This improbable athletic phenom was an ordinary high school student, discovered running for a train in rural Illinois mere months before her Olympic debut. Amsterdam made her a star. But at the top of her game, her career (and life) almost came to a tragic end when a plane she and her cousin were piloting crashed. So dire was Betty's condition that she was taken to the local morgue; only upon the undertaker's inspection was it determined she was still breathing. Betty, once a natural runner who always coasted to victory, soon found herself fighting to walk. While Betty was recovering, the other women of Track and Field were given the chance to shine in the Los Angeles Games, building on Betty's pioneering role as the first female Olympic champion in the sport. These athletes became more visible and more accepted, as stars like Babe Didrikson and Stella Walsh showed the world what women could do. And - miraculously - through grit and countless hours of training, Betty earned her way onto the 1936 Olympic team, again locking her sights on gold as she and her American teammates went up against the German favorites in Hitler's Berlin. Told in vivid detail with novelistic flair, Fire on the Track is an unforgettable portrait of these trailblazers in action. Critic Reviews: "Fire on the Track tells the powerful story of one woman's success in breaking an early glass ceiling in women's Olympic sports. The triumph, tragedy, and redemption that punctuated Betty Robinson's life present a commentary on 1930s America and the trailblazing courage of ordinary women to change the country's thinking about the abilities of their gender. Using anecdote and insight, Montillo has written an important book, bringing to light a resonant piece of history." (Lucinda Franks, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of Timeless: Love, Morgenthau and Me) "Roseanne Montillo has written a must-read, exhilarating story about a remarkable time in American sports history when women proved that they could be champions. Going against cultural expectations, these athletes managed to achieve greatness during the toughest of times. Betty Robinson is a hero for the ages. Her breathtaking journey from catastrophe to ultimate victory made me stand up and cheer!" (Lydia Reeder, author of Dust Bowl Girls) Members Reviews: Good story Interesting story. Well written. Mettle for the medals This book is divided into three sections, the first covering the first Olympic games that included track events for women (1928, Amsterdam), the second focused on the second set of events (Los Angeles, 1932), and the third and most compelling, the much-storied 1936 Berlin Olympics, held under a sea of swastikas. Despite the title, the book is not a biography of Betty Robinson, who -- apart from being the first women ever to win a gold medal in an Olympic track event -- is not especially interesting.
