"Last Ride of the Iron Horse" tells the tale of Lou Gehrig's final year in the Yankee lineup, as he dealt with early effects of the deadly disease ALS. For much of the 1938 season, Gehrig -- dubbed the Iron Horse for his strength and reliability -- struggled with slumps and a mystifying loss of power. Fans booed and sportswriters called for him to be benched. Then, as the Yankees battled for the pennant in August, Lou began pounding home runs like his old self -- a turnaround that in retrospect looks truly miraculous. It may have been a rare case of temporary ALS reversal.Using rare film footage, radio broadcasts, newspapers and interviews, author Dan Joseph chronicles Gehrig's roller coaster of a year. The story begins in Hollywood, where the handsome "Larrupin' Lou" films a Western that would be his only movie. As the year unfolds, he holds out for baseball’s highest salary, battles injuries that would sideline a lesser man, wins his sixth World Series ring, and enters the political arena for the first time, denouncing the rising threat of Nazism.Joseph also answers questions that have long intrigued Gehrig's admirers: When did he sense something was wrong with his body? What were the first signs? How did he adjust? And did he still help the Yankees win the championship, even as his skills declined?1938 would be Gehrig's last hurrah. With his strength fading, he ended his renowned consecutive games streak the following May. A few weeks later, doctors at the Mayo Clinic diagnosed him with ALS. On July 4th, the Yankees retired his number in a ceremony at Yankee Stadium. All along, Gehrig showed remarkable courage and grace, never more so than when he told the stadium crowd, "I might have been given a bad break, but I've got an awful lot to live for."

This simple little book is powerful. Its words are alive and, like an elixir, they hold the keys to the doorway of change. Before I understood the message written on these pages, I couldn’t stop smoking cigarettes. Little did I know that white knuckling didn’t work for me, because smoking is secondary to something else—emotion. The feelings I had or, didn’t have, surrounding the thought of inhaling smoke, were the driving force behind my habit. Through the application of this life altering information, I’ve turned the tables on emotion. It no longer controls me. Instead, I’ve learned to use emotion, as an effective tool, to depolarize what no longer serves me—and so can you.

Ever wonder what all the positions are?Think you know every position and that a book on positioning is unnecessary for you? Ever hear of a False Nine, a Wing Back, or what position that referred confused an Inverted Winger to?Have you ever wanted to learn the abilities needed by each player on the pitch including the position you play in now or potentially want to play in the future?Are you a parent that is a bit confused by the differences of each spot on the field that your child plays?Well, if any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are decent at assigning positions such as goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward in addition to whether that player should be on the left side, right side, or center of the field. Sadly, coaches do not often teach the more advanced positions and what each player in that role must do. It is all well and good if your team is consistently winning and outperforming the other team. However, if your team is not always winning by a few goals, the positioning could be upgraded to effectively use the skills of each player on the team. Outcomes of learning the positions explained in this book:-Understand some of the history on how positions came to be in the modern game.-Learn the specialties of each role to determine your best fit on the field.-Find the tactical position to take your team to the next level. Why does learning these things matter?Well, building your knowledge grows your confidence. Self-esteem is key for any soccer player, coach, or parent and building the belief in yourself and your child will allow them to play to the level you know they can.You may think those are all well and great, but “how can a book really deliver on increasing the positioning of yourself, son, daughter, or team?” “Why not just watch a YouTube video to see it too?”Excitingly, this book lays out step-by-step what you should work on and the most important keys to being able to perform in each position. Yes, other author’s may glance over the different types of players but never describe and explain the exact role based on each team’s needs. This book does exactly that.Also, though YouTube can be used to compliment a book because videos show visual representations of the positions covered (though this book has pictures too), each video is often unorganized and the order in which you watch the videos is NOT structured at all. This book provides that structure to ensure that you are not just getting a little information in one spot and some knowledge in another without being able to understand the entire positional picture of how each part works together.It is time for your knowledge of Soccer Positions to go to the next level.
