Book Synopsis And Still Champion by : Harold Holden
Download or read book And Still Champion written by Harold Holden and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And Still Champion is much more than an anthology about individual achievement and overcoming insurmountable odds. These stories are confessionals from seven men who invite us into the harsh, challenging, and sometimes bitter realities that Black men choose and are sometimes forced to navigate. The use of the word champion is intentional. The Hebrew translation depicts "a mighty man". The proto-Germanic and English language describe someone who fights on another's behalf, someone chosen to represent a group of people and an ongoing winner in a game or contest. It is the testament of each man, that after all they've endured, they can still lift their hands in victory. Though they each muster strength to rise again, we witness the intervention of family, friends, and even strangers that make their emergence possible. This work exposes the truth most aren't willing to tell; the kind of real talk that captures the raw existence that characterizes their upbringing. And what each man discovers along the way is that God is in the details, orchestrating a path to purpose. Exploitation, criminal behavior, reckless living, and bad choices are not always the end of the road. Sometimes our darkest moments lead to divine encounters that alter the trajectory of our lives. These narratives celebrate the endurance of flawed Black men anchored in an abiding faith. There are no facades. What you read is what you get. Real Men. Real Talk. And Still Champion. Foreword Excerpt by Sekou Laidlow With the benefit of hindsight, each contributor to this pivotal work understands the value of controlling their narrative. In each essay, you will discover a common theme that permeates every stage and each choice that plays out in the journey to a fully realized humanity - the quest to be seen, heard, and affirmed. Whether it be childhood neglect, pursuing wealth at any cost, or the depths we are willing to go to garner mere respect, they all rotate on the axis of these three needs. From childhood to adulthood, we witness each man closing the gap between the myths that have come to suffocate their existence and the stories that authentically reflect their humanity. Between these pages, the frustration of proving we are more than what is perceived comes into perspective. Life's humility tempers the consuming hatred that dictates the pain we inflict on those we love. Each man discovers the limitations of the will and reconciles with the process of the journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘It’s one of the real sports that’s left to us: a bit of danger and a bit of excitement, and the horses, which are the best thing in the world.' HM The Queen Mother on National Hunt racing. This book traces how much National Hunt racing has changed since 1945- and also how Britain has changed too. The advent of motorways has made travel easier and racecourse safety has improved but the challenges for jump jockeys -the bravest of the brave- remain. It covers some of the biggest stories in jump racing over the last seventy-five years, including the dramatic collapse of Devon Loch in the 1956 Grand National and the incredible exploits of three-times Grand National winner Red Rum. But it also contains lots of fascinating stories which the reader will not be so aware of, of trainers and horses long forgotten.
Book Synopsis John Terry - Captain, Leader, Champion by : Ollie Derbyshire
Download or read book John Terry - Captain, Leader, Champion written by Ollie Derbyshire and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Terry, footballing legend and Chelsea hero, graduated from Chelsea youth academy to become an international star. His imposing strength, natural skill and bulldog spirit have made him the backbone of both Chelsea and England's staunch defences. Born in London, and raised through the Chelsea youth teams, Terry's extraordinary talent soon had him replacing World Cup winner Frank Leboeuf to become a first team favourite amongst the Stamford Bridge faithful. But Terry's progress has not all been plain sailing. In 2002, when he was on the verge of realising his dream of playing for England after some outstanding displays in the under-21 team, he was involved in an incident outside a nightclub. With his career in the balance, Terry battled back and, having been cleared of any charges, he became stronger than ever before. For years he was an indomitable force in the national side before retiring in 2012, having won 78 caps and appearing in two separate World Cups. He was even presented with the ultimate English honour when, in 2010, he captained his country during their World Cup campaign. Truly though, Terry is Chelsea through and through. Handed the captain's armband under Jose Mourinho's inspirational regime, backed by Roman Abramovich's formidable buying power, Terry is proof that some qualities simply can't be bought. His immense leadership skills have earned him the respect of his fellow pros and fans alike. With five FA Cups, four Premier Leagues – including an incredible 2014/15 campaign, and even a Champions League medal hanging in his trophy cabinet, John Terry must go down as one of the greatest Englishmen to ever play the game.
Book Synopsis Abel Kiviat, National Champion by : Alan S. Katchen
Download or read book Abel Kiviat, National Champion written by Alan S. Katchen and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abel Kiviat (1892-1991) was one of track and field’s legendary personalities, a world record-holder and Olympic medalist in the metric mile. A teenage prodigy, he defeated Hall of Fame runners before his twentieth birthday. Alan S. Katchen brings Kiviat’s fascinating story to life and re-creates a lost world, when track and field was at the height of its popularity and occupying a central place in America’s sporting world. The oldest of seven children of Moishe and Zelda Kiviat, Jewish immigrants from Poland, Abel competed as "the Hebrew runner" for New York’s famed Irish-American Athletic Club and was elected its captain. Katchen’s engaging biography centers Abel Kiviat’s life and his sport firmly in the context of American social history. As a quintessential New Yorker, Kiviat embodies the urban and ethnic roots of American track. From his first schoolboy competitions on city playgrounds, to his world records at Madison Square Garden, to his pioneering role as track’s press steward in the age of emerging media, Kiviat’s life reveals how his sport was shaped by the culture of the emerging metropolis. New York City is not only the setting for these developments but also a subject of the book. The narration is enriched with brief portraits of celebrated track athletes including Kiviat’s Olympic roommate, Jim Thorpe. In addition, Katchen offers a detailed account of the I-AAC’s evolution, including its close ties to the Tammany Hall political machine, and sheds light on the rapid modernization of the sport and the ways it provided a vehicle for the assimilation of working-class, immigrant athletes. Finally, Katchen explores the social origins of the ideology of amateurism and its devastating impact on Kiviat’s career. Kiviat died at ninety-nine, just months short of carrying the torch for the opening ceremonies of the Barcelona Olympics. Abel Kiviat, National Champion pays tribute to a remarkable athlete and the sport during its most dynamic and celebrated era.
