Fourteen dreamers participate in the study illustrating the process of uncovering the profound meaning within each recurring symbol.

Book excerpt: Summertime visits with her dad is Kaia Anderson’s favorite part of the year. With the recent retirement of long-time tour surfer Neil Harper, her surf-coach dad has been frothing for the next surf star to call upon him. Unfortunately, this new surf star has overlapped with Kaia’s plans, which have been relocated to St. Catalina Island - a remote tropical paradise with choppy cell service, little Wi-Fi, and no connection to the California summer she’d dreamed of. If it can be damaged, Dominic Richardson has probably had his hand on it. His reputation, his family’s name, and his longstanding friendship with the Great White Surf crew have all been ruined. Surfing the best swells on the planet with a stellar coach in his corner, Dominic’s slowly revamped his surf career and his family’s reputation. The only thing he’s missing is his former surf crew, the West Coast Hooligans. Kaia is over Dominic before she even meets him. She doesn’t appreciate a spoiled, rich kid uprooting her summer, but Dominic doesn’t play into Kaia’s agenda to prove she’s right about him. He’s determined to be on his very best behavior and prove to everyone that he’s not the guy in the tabloids - and he might just make Kaia believe in him too. *** Follow Dominic on his road to redemption and meet his surf coach's daughter in this enemies-to-lovers romance!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonfiction films about sports have been around for decades, yet few scholarly articles have been published on these works. In Identity and Myth in Sports Documentaries, editors Zachary Ingle and David M. Sutera have assembled a collection of essays that show how myth and identity—national, religious, ethnic, and racial—are constructed, perpetuated, or questioned in documentaries produced in the United States, France, Australia, Germany, and Japan. This collection is divided into three sections. “American Identity and Myth” contains essays on consumerism, religion in sports, and post-9/11 America. “Race and Ethnicity” examines the ways in which African American, Mexican American, and Jewish identity are portrayed in the documentaries under discussion. “Global Perspectives” features films and TV series produced outside of the United States or those that provide perspectives on the international sport scene. Spanning several decades, the landmark documentaries discussed in this volume include Hoop Dreams, The Endless Summer, The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, Olympia, and Tokyo Olympiad and address such subjects as baseball, football, basketball, boxing, soccer, surfing, and the Olympics. The essays pose such questions as "How are notions of the American dream involved in athletes’ aspirations?", "How do media texts from Australia or France construct Australian and French identity, respectively?", and "How did filmmakers such as Leni Riefenstahl, Kon Ichikawa, and Bud Greenspan infuse their Olympic documentaries with national ideology despite being intended for an international audience?" By tackling these subjects, Identity and Myth in Sports Documentaries is an intriguing read for scholars, students, and the general public alike.

Book excerpt: 'Richie is one of the most inspiring people I've ever met, and his story is testament to the healing power of the ocean.' Kelly Slater Goes surfing, beats cancer. One man's inspirational story. Richie Lovett might be the world’s unluckiest surfer . . . or its luckiest. We’re not quite sure which. He’s been attacked by a shark, washed into the Indonesian jungle by a tsunami, before finally being diagnosed with cancer. Unlucky? Possibly. One thing we know for sure, Richie Lovett is a survivor; he’s still here today, and what hasn’t killed him has only made him stronger. When doctors told him the cancer in his leg was buried so deep he’d never surf again, Richie – one of the world’s best surfers – begged to differ. After radical surgery to rebuild his leg, Rich set about the challenge of learning to surf all over again, discovering plenty about life, and himself, in the process. The Big Sea is one of sport’s most inspiring stories. But you don’t have to be a surfer or a sportsperson to know what it feels like to confront challenges. This is vital reading for anyone who’s had to face adversity or felt like they were about to be wiped out. Engagingly honest, Richie Lovett shows us that attitude is everything.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite remarkable insight regarding our understanding of metabolism and physiology, astounding advances in fitness technology and the availability of countless so-called revolutionary diets and fitness programs, each promising immediate and sustained success, relatively few individuals seem to achieve and maintain their intended goals. In fact, data continues to suggest the prevalence of obesity, the world's "other pandemic," and recently overshadowed but quietly accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis, continues to rise. The future combined impact on the overall health and prosperity of society as we enter the dawn of the "new normal" raises many valid questions and concerns. The stakes may have never been higher to start finding some answers. As opposed to targeting a small subset of young, highly motivated, advanced fitness enthusiasts, as many current popular programs seem to do, It's All in Your Head was written with the rest of us in mind. Rather than another "how to" manual, it is a "why to" inspirational guide and navigational tool in what has become the complex space of fitness and nutrition. Join me on a retrospective, psychological journey back to the origins of the unhealthy behavior patterns defining who we have become and explaining why we struggle to achieve our health and fitness goals. Incorporating a basic understanding of the fundamental principles universal to every successful diet and fitness program in existence, and learning how to develop adequate self-motivation skills, doors to previously unrecognized potential and the ability to reach and sustain success are unlocked as fitness dreams become reality.
