The Triumph and Tragedy of John Curry

SPORTS WRITING

Bill Jones Over 20 million people in Britain watched John Curry win Olympic figure skating gold in 1976. Overnight he became an international star as he singlehandedly changed ice skating from marginal sport to high art. And yet he was an absolute mystery to a world that had been dazzled by his gift. An often-tortured man of labyrinthine complexity, Curry’s is a story of childhood nightmares, furious ambition, sporting genius, lifelong rivalries, homophobia, Cold War politics, financial ruin and deep personal tragedy. For the first time, Alone untangles the extraordinary web of his toxic, troubled, brilliant – and short – life.

SPORTS WRITING Tutenkhamen's Tracksuit

Hell-Bent

The History of Sport in 100-ish Objects

Obsession, Pain and the Search for Something Like Transcendence in Bikram Yoga

Alan Tyers & Beach In this weird and wonderful museum catalogue, Henry VIII’s ‘Royal Box’, worn for protection during jousting appears next to an eye chart given to all prospective referees and linesmen prior to the 1966 World Cup, and Lance Armstrong’s School report is featured alongside a 1989 demo tape recorded by a young Gary Neville. Tutankhamen’s Tracksuit ransacks the dusty lockers and forgotten corners of the world’s dressing rooms to present a unique collection of subverted reality. Satirical, surreal and completely invented, fans of every sport will enjoy this knowing and mischievous hijacking of the defining moments of popular sporting culture.

Benjamin Lorr Lorr walked into his first yoga studio on a whim, overweight and curious, and quickly found Bikram yoga reinventing his life. He was content to slim down and tone up until a run-in with a competitive yoga champion convinced him to take his practice to the next level. So begins a journey into the strange, amazing world of competitive yoga.

Hedley Verity and the Story of Cricket’s Greatest Bowling Feat

And Other Tales from Wisden's 'Cricket Round the World'

Chris Waters Hedley Verity was one of Yorkshire and England's greatest cricketers. In a career that ran from 1930 to 1939, the bowler took 1,956 wickets at an average of 14.90. The high-water mark of his career came during a long-forgotten County Championship match in 1932, when he took all 10 wickets for just 10 runs – a world record that still stands.

For the first time, the story of this amazing game is told in relation to Verity's remarkable career.

CRICKET ‘What are the butchers for?’ And other splendid cricket quotations

500-1: The Miracle of Headingley ’81

Lawrence Booth

Headingley 1981 hosted one of the most dramatic comebacks in Test cricket, when England beat Australia by 18 runs.

The bookies quoted odds of 500-1 against an England win. Two of the Australian team took those odds. This newly updated book recreates the match in rich detail with those who were there, placing events in their full context.

‘What are the butchers for?’ And other splendid cricket quotations is a collection of some of the finest and most memorable quotes about the sport, both classic and new. The quotation in the title is attributed to the US actress Pauline Chase who, catching sight of the umpires at her first cricket match, was somewhat baffled.

Coaching Knowledges Understanding the Dynamics of Sport Performance Jim Denison Too often coaching is seen by sports science students as mechanistic and prescriptive.

What a coach does in training and on the sidelines, however, is far more complex and involved than simply setting exercises and drills. Effective coaching requires a range of ‘knowledges’, from the pedagogical to the sociological, physiological and psychological. In this book teachers, lecturers and coaches from Bath University’s ‘Team Bath’ coaching and teaching faculty look at how various ‘knowledges’ influence every coach’s daily practices.
