Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When four-year-old Conner starts pleading for hockey skates, his mother's dreamy fantasies of après ski's toasty fires, charming chalets, and chilled chardonnay rapidly evaporate. Soon, Astra reluctantly raises the white flag to the culture of hockey, and life becomes a whirlwind of early morning alarms, minivans stuffed with massive amounts of goalie equipment, ice-cold arenas, and appalling nutrition. Offside by a Mile - Confessions of a Hockey Mom, chronicles the frantic and frequently hilarious challenges of one family's fourteen-year odyssey into the world of minor hockey. The universal challenges, joys, and sorrows of supporting childhood passions at the cost of home-decorating ambitions, healthy diet avowals, personal time, gobs of money, full-nights' sleep, or any sort of downtime or personal freedom will be recognizable to parents everywhere. But with its wickedly frank and funny perspectives, Offside by a Mile offers a bubbly and refreshing tonic for it all....

Book excerpt: Explore the extraordinary journey of young athletes in At the Death, the first compelling book in the Hampshire United Trilogy. This novel is not just about soccer; it delves deeper into themes of team spirit, friendship, and personal achievement, resonating with sports enthusiasts and young adult readers alike. At the Death transcends the typical sports narrative, weaving in social and spiritual elements as the team ventures into the afterlife. Facing their greatest sports and life challenges, the players learn invaluable lessons about strategy, camaraderie, and the essence of a perfectly played game. Join the Hampshire United team as they discover the true meaning of life and sportsmanship in a story that will captivate soccer fans of all levels. The strong young soccer players in At the Death have more on their minds and in their hearts than soccer, though team spirit is everything and embraces competition, friendship, pride in personal achievement and sports abilities, and how to face a worthy opponent. But there's more at stake here than beating odds or opposing teams, for At the Death takes soccer one step beyond in moving into the afterlife with a game that holds social and spiritual ramifications for all its players. The school team faces some of its biggest sports and life challenges and learns from the choices its members make about their friendships, strategies, and plays. What's the secret of a perfectly played game, and what happens when a team headed for their ultimate success faces their greatest test on another plane of existence? As the Hampshire United team comes to understand the true nature of life's meaning, soccer fans with all levels of familiarity with the sport receive a vivid story of this team's greatest victory.

Book excerpt: Brendan Cummins has made more senior hurling championship appearances than any other player in the history of the game. In an era that produced such brilliant goalkeeping talents as Davy Fitzgerald, Donal Óg Cusack and Damien Fitzhenry, many would argue that Cummins has earned the right to be considered the greatest of them all. Following his League debut for Tipperary in November 1993, Cummins went on to play at the top of the intercounty game for 19 consecutive seasons. He won two senior All Ireland medals, five Munster championships, four League titles and five All Star awards. From fearless shot-stopping to pinpoint accuracy on his puck-outs, Cummins was unrivalled in the consistency of his performances, a consistency underpinned by a sometimes punishing physical commitment, mental discipline and great attention to detail. He was the rock upon which Tipperary built their team under many managers and changes of personnel. Brendan Cummins' story is the story of Tipperary hurling over the last two decades. The ups and downs. The dramas. The characters. From his senior championship debut in 1995 under Fr. Tom Fogarty to his final games under Eamon O’Shea, Cummins has seen it all. Standing My Ground is a remarkable account of an extraordinary career.

Filled with keen insights, opinions and anecdotes of games past, this is a book every fan should read.
