Unleashing the Hidden Power

of Young Athletes



"Mind Over Muscle: Unleashing the Hidden Power of Young Athletes" offers a comprehensive exploration of the critical connection between developmental psychology and sports, guiding parents, coaches, and young athletes through the intricate landscape of growth and competition. Drawing on foundational theories such as Piaget’s cognitive development and Erikson’s social-emotional framework, this book presents a view into the experiences that shape youth athletes—where intrinsic motivation fosters genuine passion, and self-efficacy becomes vital for overcoming challenges. Through relatable stories of young athletes like Sarah, Alex, and Ella, readers will uncover the profound influence of parental support, the significance of team dynamics, and the necessity of resilience in the face of adversity. Each chapter outlines practical strategies to cultivate a balanced approach to competition that prioritizes personal growth and emotional well-being, equipping young athletes not just for success in their sport, but for life beyond the confines of the playing field. Empowering and insightful, this book serves as an essential resource for those dedicated to nurturing the next generation of athletes with a focus on holistic development and lifelong joy in sports.

The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)

    The New PSYCHOLOGY: A Unified Field of Brain, Mind, Behavior, Perception, Culture...: Abbreviated Edition (B&W)      480 Pages, 8.5X11”, Fully Illustrated These are the bits and pieces that make up a deep understanding of how our mind works. Welcome to the deep woods.     Psychology controls the biology of our brain. At the witch trials in Salem, when the accused were brought into the court, adrenaline and cortisol would have shot into the bloodstream of the spectators. Neurotransmitters would have surged through their brain. Their very brain waves would have shot up from 12 to 40 cycles per second. A P300 brain wave would have screamed “ALERT”. Their heart jumped.  A chill went up their spine.

The Revenant's Mark

  The Revenant's Mark A dark historical fantasy novel set during the American Revolution Jacob Hawthorne was hanged as a traitor—forgotten by the cause he fought for, buried in a shallow grave by those he fought against. But death didn’t keep him. The forest brought him back. Now bound to an ancient and wild power, Jacob walks again as a revenant—something more than man, less than myth.

Peak Season

  Peak Season Author : Emily Harrison One winter. One chance. One desire that can't be denied. Lola Maxwell isn't looking for love, she's barely looking up. Reeling from heartbreak and a life that's never quite made sense, she takes a last-minute job with holiday company Powder White, at Le Grenier, chalet hotel tucked deep in the French Alps. It's meant to be simple: work hard, stay out of trouble, and avoid any man with a crooked smile and a snowboard under his arm. Then Harley Nash walks in. Moody, magnetic, and impossible to read, Harley has made a name for himself on and off the slopes. Once a rising snowboarder with a reckless streak, now he's the ski team lead at Powder White, doing everything he can to keep things under control, including himself. The last thing he needs is a new recruit with fire in her eyes and chaos in her wake. But Lola's not easy to ignore. And Harley's not nearly as in control as he looks. As the season deepens, so d...
