Book excerpt: From the creator of the popular website Ask a Manager and New York’s work-advice columnist comes a witty, practical guide to 200 difficult professional conversations—featuring all-new advice! There’s a reason Alison Green has been called “the Dear Abby of the work world.” Ten years as a workplace-advice columnist have taught her that people avoid awkward conversations in the office because they simply don’t know what to say. Thankfully, Green does—and in this incredibly helpful book, she tackles the tough discussions you may need to have during your career. You’ll learn what to say when • coworkers push their work on you—then take credit for it • you accidentally trash-talk someone in an email then hit “reply all” • you’re being micromanaged—or not being managed at all • you catch a colleague in a lie • your boss seems unhappy with your work • your cubemate’s loud speakerphone is making you homicidal • you got drunk at the holiday party Praise for Ask a Manager “A must-read for anyone who works . . . [Alison Green’s] advice boils down to the idea that you should be professional (even when others are not) and that communicating in a straightforward manner with candor and kindness will get you far, no matter where you work.”—Booklist (starred review) “The author’s friendly, warm, no-nonsense writing is a pleasure to read, and her advice can be widely applied to relationships in all areas of readers’ lives. Ideal for anyone new to the job market or new to management, or anyone hoping to improve their work experience.”—Library Journal (starred review) “I am a huge fan of Alison Green’s Ask a Manager column. This book is even better. It teaches us how to deal with many of the most vexing big and little problems in our workplaces—and to do so with grace, confidence, and a sense of humor.”—Robert Sutton, Stanford professor and author of The No Asshole Rule and The Asshole Survival Guide “Ask a Manager is the ultimate playbook for navigating the traditional workforce in a diplomatic but firm way.”—Erin Lowry, author of Broke Millennial: Stop Scraping By and Get Your Financial Life Together

Book excerpt: Written by a leading mental skills coach and contributing editor to Runner's World (US), this is a practical guide to building the psychological resilience that athletes need to recover from injury and rebound stronger. Injuries affect every athlete, from the elite Olympian to the weekend racer. In the moment, a traumatic crash, a torn muscle, or a stress fracture can feel like the most devastating event possible. While some athletes are destroyed by the experience, others emerge from their recovery better, stronger, and more confident than ever. The key to a swifter, stronger comeback is the use of mental skills: psychological tools that enable an athlete to take control of their recovery and ultimately use the experience to their advantage. Injury and other setbacks are inevitable – but with training, overcoming them skillfully and confidently is possible. This book will provide a clear, compelling explanation of psychological recovery from injury and a practical guide to building mental resilience. Weaving together personal narratives from star athletes, scientific research, and the specialized clinical expertise of mental skills coach Carrie Jackson Cheadle, it will contain more than 45 Mental Skills and Drills that athletes can use at every phase of their recovery process. These same strategies can help athletes who aren't currently injured reduce their vulnerability to injury, and enable any individual to reach new heights within their sport and beyond.

Book excerpt: Have you ever thought about working in sports? If you are a sports fan, you have probably dreamed about working for your favorite team, driving to work at the same stadium that you have such fond game day memories from or walking out onto the court where your childhood hero made the unthinkable play to win the big game. Perhaps you are about to graduate from college and desire to work in the sports world. You understand business and you love sports - why not combine the two? Each year there are thousands of college graduates with sports degrees that begin looking for a handful of sports jobs with an actual professional team or league. Many settle for something else that isn't even related to sports and go down a career path that doesn't seem very exciting. Unfortunately many people think they want to work in sports, but don't ever find the opportunity. This doesn't have to be the case. Yes, you have to realize that the sports job industry is very competitive - just like sports itself. However, there is a way to break through. It just takes a little different thinking - a mindshift. Most people overlook the opportunities right under their nose and give up on their dreams when they can't find the dream job the first time around. I am here to provide you with helpful hints and ways to understand why you shouldn't give up, why you can work your way into the industry you are passionate about. After you read this book, you will have a different understanding, a different mindset on how to get into sports business. It just requires a Mindshift. After working in and around the sports industry for almost 20 years, I have held various roles with different companies that have allowed me to become more engaged with sports than I ever imagined I would be. When I started out in college, I wasn't aware of any sports marketing or sports business degrees. Towards the end of my college years, I found a job doing something I enjoyed and actually got paid to do it. It didn't take long for me to realize that my company was also doing work in the sports world. I had to figure out how to get closer to that world. There was something about sports that just made sense to me - it also provided an electrifying rush that I would soon be addicted to. In my book Mindshift - Getting A Job In Sports, I walk you through an overview of sports from my perspective, having worked in this field for quite some time. I share with you how myself and others have been able to work around the sports that we so dearly enjoy. I hope that you will find this book informative and helpful as well as encouraging as you pursue your job in sports.
