Injury-Free Running: Your Illustrated Guide to Biomechanics, Gait Analysis, and Injury Prevention
This no-nonsense guide shows you how an understanding of anatomy and biomechanics, coupled with the latest strengthening exercises and rehab protocols, can keep you running injury free for a long time to come.
Each time your foot hits the ground while running, an impact force averaging three times your weight travels through your body at more than 200 miles per hour, causing your bones to vibrate and tendons to stretch. When you consider the average runner strikes the ground more than 10,000 times per hour, this translates into a remarkable amount of force that needs to be absorbed, and explains why nearly 50% of recreational runners are injured each year.
The purpose of this book is to show you that impact forces are not necessarily harmful. By modifying your running form and doing specific exercises to improve tendon resiliency, not only can you effectively absorb these forces, but you can also store and return a significant percentage of them in the form of elastic recoil. Besides reducing your risk of injury, efficiently storing and returning energy can allow you to run faster with less effort.
With more than 200 illustrations and 300 references, this book reviews how to:
- Perform an at-home gait analysis to make specific changes in your running form that can reduce impact forces and improve performance.
- Decrease your risk of injury by identifying problems with strength, flexibility, and/or neuromotor coordination using specific functional tests.
- Incorporate new exercises to enhance the storage and return of energy in your tendons.
- Select the running shoe that is right for you.
- Treat 25 of the most common running-related injuries with the most up-to-date, scientifically justified treatment protocols available.

Mental Toughness For Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens Who Play Competitive Sports
Finally! There is A Mental Toughness Book For Young Athletes!Moses and Troy Horne here. Your mental toughness guides! If you are reading this you probably have a young athlete who struggles with in-game stress and maybe even sports performance anxiety. That is why this version was mostly written by Moses. As of the time of the writing of this book Moses Horne is a 15-year-old elite athlete who can talk directly about the triumphs and struggles of working towards being mentally tough. This is the only book that I know of with input from an actual young athlete.
My name is Troy Horne. I’m his dad. I am here to help the parents understand how to help their kiddos navigate this mental toughness journey. For more on that make sure that you pick up the Parent’s guide version of this book – Mental Toughness for Young Athletes: Eight Proven 5-Minute Mindset Exercises For Kids And Teens In Competitive Sports (Parent’s Guide) It’s super necessary. We know where you are and we know how to help you help your young athlete find their mental fortitude. We have purchased a lot of books about mental toughness in sports.
Most of the books that we read were not a good fit for young athletes because they were either written for adults or not written for youth athletes in COMPETITIVE sports. There is a difference.
Since there wasn’t anything out there for elite athletes I did what every youth sports parent does when they want to help their kid. I started my own team! JUUUUST KIDDING! (I probably should have, but I didn’t believe that I would be able to do it well. I lacked mental confidence myself I guess. We talk about that in the parent’s version of this book too.)
We took the long journey of ups and downs. We struggled to help our young athlete find his mental toughness. IT WAS ROUGH! Luckily along the way, we found the winning formula thanks to being able to talk with sports icons personally.
We launched a podcast together called Hoopchalk Basketball Podcast and on it, we interviewed sports MENTAL TOUGHNESS GIANTS like…
- Chauncey Billups
- Tywanna Smith
- Keiko Yoshimine
- Earl Boykins
- Jason Richardson and
- Kobe Bryant!
We studied what they did and said based on our interviews and we came up with a mental toughness plan that worked! We wrote down what worked for our young athlete and we put it in this book so that you would be able to skip a lot of the struggle and failure part. No need for everyone to struggle right?
In this book, we are going to share with you what we learned from talking to NBA Athletes, NFL Athletes, EuroLeague Athletes, College Coaches, and College Athletes as well.
- Does your child perform better in practice than they do when the game or when the “Lights Come On”?
- Do they seem like they are losing their love for the game?
- Do you want to help them?
If you answered yes to these questions then you are in the right place. This book is the answer that you have been looking for! I can say this with confidence because I have used everything that I am going to share with you in this book with my son and it has worked.
What a blessing to get the keys to mental toughness straight from greats! I look forward to sharing what we learned with you!
This stuff is a game-changer and it’s made specifically for young athletes!

Follow Your Leader: The memoir of a Newmarket trainer
The fifty-year career of Gavin Pritchard-Gordon in Newmarket, the Headquarters of British Racing, proved to be as exciting a ride as those provided by his many winning horses. This caught the author as much by surprise as anyone else. The opportunity to train racehorses was offered to Pritchard-Gordon somewhat out of the blue by the legendary trainer Harvey Leader.
Pritchard-Gordon grabbed at the chance to follow in Mr Leader’s footsteps. He never looked back as a life in Racing took him to many a Winners’ Enclosure and the country’s grandest houses, all the while having great fun with the top names of Racing, past and present.Foreword by Brough Scott
“A stylish homage to Newmarket this memoir is deliciously indiscreet, full of humorous anecdotes that will make the reader laugh out loud. It cleverly exposes some of racing’s shibboleths while retaining the author’s innate decency and humanity. A must read for the racing aficionado.”
Author and journalist Colin Mackenzie.About the author:
Racing has been Gavin Pritchard-Gordon’s life, ever since he first came to Newmarket in 1966 to be a pupil trainer with the greatly respected Harvey Leader – one of the very few people to have trained both a Classic and a Grand National winner. He spent similar spells as Assistant to Peter Walwyn in Lambourn, and Stuart Murless, on the Curragh, before returning to Newmarket, and taking over the trainer’s license from Harvey Leader, at Shalfleet, in 1972.
The best horses Pritchard-Gordon trained on the Flat were Group 1 winners Noalcoholic, Ardoon and Record Run – but one of his most exciting moments came when King Pele, ridden by the intrepid David Nicholson, triumphed in the Gloucester Hurdle (now the Sun Alliance) at the Cheltenham Festival in 1973.
Pritchard-Gordon stopped training in 1995, spending a year at BHB in Portman Square before becoming Chief Executive of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association In Newmarket. He held that position for fourteen years, prior to being appointed Executive Chairman of British Bloodstock Marketing, and then retiring in 2010. Since then Pritchard-Gordon has remained closely involved with all aspects of the Racing and Breeding Industry worldwide.Read more

A Man Walks On To a Pitch: Stories from a Life in Football
‘When a man walks on to a pitch there’s always a chance something magic can happen, that’s what keeps us coming back…’
In A Man Walks On To a Pitch, Harry shares a lifetime’s experience of obsessing over football, during which he has seen it all first hand – the good, the bad and the unbelievable. Harry started in an age where players were ordinary blokes who might live on the same street as you and earn a similar wage. Now he manages in an era of player power, multi-million pound wages and teams assembled from around the globe.
As he shares stories of some of the legends and journeymen he played, coached, argued and drank with, Harry picks a team for each decade from the 1950s to the present. He gets to the heart of what was right and wrong with each era and explores the changes in the game from lifestyle to tactics. He weaves his choices together with unforgettable tales from the training pitches, boot rooms and card schools.
There are tales of the untutored genius of Duncan Edwards and Tom Finney, legendary tough Scots like Bobby Collins, Dave Mackay and Billy Bremner, the world-beaters of 1966, unpredictable one-off wizards from Sir Stanley Matthews to Matt Le Tissier, natural-born goalscorers from Greaves to Dalglish and the greatest foreign players to grace our game from Trautmann to Bergkamp. It is one of the best informal histories of the British game you’ll ever read.
