How We Roll

2 Men, 1 Wheelchair and a Lifetime of Lessons in Perseverance

By: Tim Wambach

At the start, it all looked uphill... In Spring 2001, Tim Wambach stopped by a school district office on a whim and put in an application to be a substitute teacher - but that's when the wheel of fate began to roll. Soon, he found himself face-to-face with a 12-year-old kid named Mike Berkson, a warm, funny, optimistic genius trapped in a body challenged by Cerebral Palsy. The teacher was in for the biggest lesson of his life. Four years later, Tim Wambach was running across America trying to raise awareness of the difficulties faced by some of America's most valuable citizens. This is the story of two men, one wheelchair, and a dream that became a mission...

Get in the Game

An Interactive Introduction to Sports Analytics

By: Tim Chartier

An award-winning math popularizer, who has advised the US Olympic Committee, NFL, and NBA, offers sports fans a new way to understand truly improbable feats in their favorite games. In 2013, NBA point guard Steph Curry wowed crowds when he sunk 11 out of 13 three-pointers for a game total of 54 points—only seven other players, including Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, had scored more in a game at Madison Square Garden. Four years later, the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team won its hundredth straight game, defeating South Carolina 66–55. And in 2010, one forecaster—an octopus named Paul—correctly predicted the outcome of all of Germany’s matches in the FIFA World Cup. These are surprising events—but are they truly improbable? In Get in the Game, mathematician and sports analytics expert Tim Chartier helps us answer that question—condensing complex mathematics down to coin tosses and dice throws to give readers both an introduction to statistics and a new way to enjoy sporting events. With these accessible tools, Chartier leads us through modeling experiments that develop our intuitive sense of the improbable. For example, to see how likely you are to beat Curry’s three-pointer feat, consider his 45.3 percent three-point shooting average in 2012–13. Take a coin and assume heads is making the shot (slightly better than Curry at a fifty percent chance). Can you imagine getting heads eleven out of thirteen times? With engaging exercises and fun, comic book–style illustrations by Ansley Earle, Chartier’s book encourages all readers—including those who have never encountered formal statistics or data simulations, or even heard of sports analytics, but who enjoy watching sports—to get in the game.

Anson Dorrance and the University of North Carolina Women's Soccer Dynasty

By: Tim Crothers

The Man Watching: Anson Dorrance and the University of North Carolina Women's Soccer Dynasty is the authorized biography of a fascinating head coach and the more than 200 young women he inspired to believe that anything is possible. Updated to include the story of the Tar Heels's 2008 and 2009 NCAA championships.

12th Hitlerjugend SS Panzer Division in Normandy

By: Tim Saunders,Richard Hone

The history of the armored division comprised of German teenagers in the Normandy campaign, drawing on new materials from former Eastern Bloc archives. Raised in 1943 with seventeen-year-olds from the Hitler Youth movement, and following the twin disasters of Stalingrad and ‘Tunisgrad,’ the Hitlerjugend Panzer Division emerged as the most effective German division fighting in the West. The core of the division was a cadre of officers and NCOs provided by Hitler’s bodyguard division, the elite Leibstandarte, with the aim of producing a division of ‘equal value’ to fight alongside them in I SS Panzer Corps. During the fighting in Normandy, the Hitlerjugend proved to be implacable foes to both the British and the Canadians, repeatedly blunting Montgomery’s offensives, fighting with skill and a degree of determination well beyond the norm. This they did from D+1 through to the final battle to escape from the Falaise Pocket, despite huge disadvantages, namely constant Allied air attack, highly destructive naval gunfire, and a chronic lack of combat supplies and replacements of men and equipment. Written with the advantage of new materials from archives in the former Eastern Bloc, this book is no whitewash of a Waffen SS division and it does not shy away from confronting unpalatable facts or controversies.

Relentless

The Story of American Soccer and the Coaches who Helped Grow the Game

By: Tim Schum

Soccer players may get all the glory, but behind every great player is a great coach. And behind every great coach today stands a cadre of mentors who dedicated decades to championing soccer's long climb from obscurity to become one of the major sports in America. It was an uphill battle, fought persistently and creatively to overcome a public perception of soccer as "foreign," "aloof," "snobby," or simply "odd." This is a story of individual and collective action, of coaches coming together to improve the sport and expand its reach. The adaptation and sharing of improved coaching methodologies has resulted in improved play on the field such that today American players (and coaches to some degree) are having an impact not just nationally, but internationally. Because of the determined and insistent efforts of the US soccer coaching community, soccer is now perceived as a rigorous, athletic pursuit. In addition to the stories found in this book are more than 50 QR codes that provide bonus information on the coaches and their careers. Relentless tells the landmark and previously untold stories of resolute coaches, their love of the game, and how they transformed the sport in the United States.

The Sociology of Sports

An Introduction, 3d ed.

By: Tim Delaney,Tim Madigan

This third edition takes a fresh approach to the study of sport, presenting key concepts such as socialization, race, ethnicity, gender, economics, religion, politics, deviance, violence, school sports and sportsmanship. While providing a critical examination of athletics, this text also highlights many of sports' positive features. This new edition includes significantly updated statistics, data and information along with updated popular culture references and real-world examples. Newly explored is the impact of several major world events that have left lasting effects on the sports realm, including a global pandemic (SARS-CoV-2, or Covid-19) and social movements like Black Lives Matter and Me Too. Another new topic is the "pay for play" movement, wherein college athletes demanded greater compensation and, at the very least, the right to profit from their own names, images and likenesses.

Through My Eyes

By: Tim Tebow,Nathan Whitaker

The NFL legend reveals how his Christian faith, family values, and drive to succeed helped him realize his dreams in this inspiring sports memoir. Tim Tebow tells the story of his long and difficult path to becoming a quarterback, a path that at every stage was blocked by coaches telling him he'd never make it. Yet despite the critics, he believed—not just in himself but in the plan God had laid out for him. And time after time, his determination and dedication proved his detractors wrong. In Through My Eyes, he takes readers from his first week of Pop Warner practice to his record-setting career at University of Florida to his rookie season in Denver. Tebow goes inside the huddle on his biggest wins and most frustrating losses, showing how his triumphs and defeats helped him grown as a leader, as a person, and as a follower of Jesus Christ. What emerges is a captivating portrait of a man whose passions demand the best from teammates, whose words inspire faith in others, and whose heart leaves everything on the field.

Blitz Your Life

Stories From an NFL and ALS Warrior

By: Tim Shaw,Richard Sowienski

Blitz Your Life is a collection of reflections and challenges--reflections from a former Tennessee Titans linebacker on a life lived fearlessly, and challenges from a man living with a sense of urgency to make a difference every single day. In stories ranging from Tim’s time on the field, to the radically different goals that resulted from his diagnosis with ALS in 2014, as well as those who have inspired him with their own warrior successes, Tim wants to encourage and equip readers to truly know themselves. Only then, he says, can they know their true passions and pursue those dreams with everything they’ve got. With equal doses of seriousness and humor, Tim walks readers through whiteboard challenges to help them run fearlessly toward what they’re meant to do and be. A tireless fighter from his days of explosive speed off of the defensive line to his efforts to raise awareness of ALS, his message is a courageous call to find and enjoy a life with purpose.
