Tigres en cavale (Tigres Et Démons Ser. #Vol. 3)
by Sean Kennedy Christine Gauzy-SvahnSuite de Tigres à la UneLe jeune Australien Micah Johnson est le premier joueur de l’AFL à débuter sa carrière en étant ouvertement gay. Declan Tyler, joueur professionnel de football à la retraite, est son mentor, mais il trouve la tâche ardue, car Micah a tendance à faire de mauvais choix de vie qui le mettent souvent dans les ennuis. Rien que Dec ne puisse gérer. Il a fait des choses et d’autres, plus souvent qu’il n’aimerait l’admettre. Être le compagnon de Simon Murray durant toutes ces années lui a apporté son lot de souffrances et de mésaventures. Comme à son habitude, Simon s’imagine que tout se passe bien jusqu’à ce que son assistant, Coby, lui révèle un secret impliquant un vieil ennemi. Les soucis de Simon et Declan s’entrechoquent, et pour les résoudre, ils doivent entreprendre un aller-retour d’un millier de kilomètres durant lequel les problèmes devront être résolus, des excuses enfin faites et un jeune fugueur récupéré et rendu à ses parents inquiets.
Tigri in fuga (Tigri E Diavoli Ser.)
by Sean Kennedy Ida GianniniSeguito di Tigerland – Il ritornoIl giovane Micah Johnson è il primo giocatore di football australiano dichiaratamente gay già all’inizio della carriera. Per Declan Tyler, ex giocatore professionista, fargli da mentore è un compito difficile: il ragazzo, infatti, compie una scelta sbagliata dopo l’altra, cacciandosi continuamente nei guai. Niente, comunque, che Dec non sia in grado di affrontare, visto che lui stesso ci è passato, e lo ha superato, più spesso di quanto gli piaccia ammettere. Inoltre, essere da anni il compagno di Simon Murray lo ha abituato alle tribolazioni e agli ostacoli. Come sempre, Simon pensa che tutto stia andando per il verso giusto finché Coby, il suo assistente, non gli confessa un segreto che coinvolge la sua vecchia nemesi. I problemi di Simon e Dec si intrecciano e, per risolverli, i due devono intraprendere un lungo viaggio durante il quale affronteranno questioni, riceveranno delle scuse, e andranno a recuperare un ragazzo in fuga per riportarlo sano e salvo ai genitori preoccupati.
Tiki
by Gil Reavill Tiki BarberTiki Barber, former running back for the New York Giants and current Today show correspondent, has seemingly led a charmed life. Whether on the field or in front of the camera, the Smiling Giant makes everything look easy. But it has taken a lot of motivation, hard work, and help from those around him to get where he is today. Here, he recounts his extraordinary life to date -- being raised in semirural Virginia alongside his twin brother, Ronde, by a strong single mother who made every sacrifice to make sure her boys had all the tools they needed to succeed in life; getting drafted in 1997 by the Giants, where he eventually became a standout running back after overcoming injuries and flaws in his game with the help of his coaches and teammates; his stellar 2005 season, when he finished the year with 2,390 yards from scrimmage (the second-highest total in NFL history); and the controversies that marred the Giants' 2006 season, including the surprise announcement of his retirement at the age of thirty-one. As much as Tiki takes you into the locker room, past the sidelines, and onto the field to give you the view from inside the huddle, this book is also an inspirational look at his arduous evolution from ordinary player to elite -- on the field and off -- and at the amazing people along the way who have helped him achieve his goals. Tiki takes on the role of both the interviewer and the interviewee in special "Tiki Interviews Tiki" sections, as he asks and answers the really tough questions. Tiki is a riveting, inspiring read for all who want to know what really goes on behind the scenes, and for anyone looking for the strength to step up and follow his or her dreams.
Till the End
by CC Sabathia Chris SmithA raw, compelling memoir of baseball, family, fame, addiction, and recovery, by one of the most beloved baseball players of his generation How does it feel to be born with enormous gifts, in a life shadowed by tragedy? What does it mean when the gift that opens the world for us is not enough to stop us from losing the things we love? And what new gifts do we find in that loss? Baseball had been CC Sabathia&’s life since he was a kid in gritty, baseball-obsessed Vallejo, California. He was a star by the time he was a preteen and a professional athlete when he was still a teenager. Everything he knew about how to be a person—an adult, a husband and father, a leader—he learned in rhythm with the baseball season, the every-fifth-day high-intensity spotlight of a starting pitcher, all while dealing with one of the sport&’s most turbulent eras: racism in a sport with diminishing black presence; the era of performance-enhancing drugs; and the increasing tension between high-value contracts and sports owners who moved players around like game pieces. But his biggest struggle was with his own body and mind: Buoyed his whole life by talent and a fiery competitive spirit, CC found himself dealing with the steady and eventually alarming breakdown of his own body and his growing addiction in a world that encouraged and enabled it.Till the End is the thrilling memoir of one of the most beloved players in the game, a veteran star of the sport&’s marquee team during its latest championship era. It&’s also a book about baseball—about the ins and outs of its most important and technical position and its evolution in this volatile era. But woven within it is the moving, universal story of resilience and mortality and discovering what matters.
Tiller: Not Your Average Joe
by Joe TillerWhen opportunity knocked, Joe Tiller busted the door down. Tiller became a major college head football coach somewhat late in his career. He was hired as the head coach at Wyoming just 12 days after his 48th birthday and became the head coach at Purdue two weeks before his 54th birthday. A disciple of the wide-open offenses used in the former Western Athletic Conference, Tiller's Wyoming teams enjoyed great success in what he fondly refers to as the "Wacky WAC." After leaving the Cowboys for Purdue, some coaches insisted that his one-back, spread offense wouldn't fly in the Big Ten Conference, with its physical, smash-mouth style of play. Instead, Tiller's fast-breaking offense, now nicknamed "basketball on grass," took the Big Ten by storm. Before Tiller came aboard, Purdue had endured 12-consecutive losing seasons. But under Tiller, the Boilermakers have enjoyed arguably their most successful winning stretch ever. Tiller's first eight teams went to bowl games, including the Rose Bowl. Before becoming a head coach, Tiller had served as an assistant at Montana State (his alma mater), Washington State, Purdue and Wyoming. He also spent nine years in Canada with Calgary of the CFL as an assistant coach, interim head coach, and in the front office-where he was responsible for booking rock star Alice Cooper and evangelist Billy Graham for appearances at McMahon Stadium, home of the Stampeders. In many ways, Tiller is a typical who has spent most of his life in the conservative Midwest and the open spaces of the western United States. A regular Joe, Tiller's laid-back style, wry sense of humor and, of course, winning ways has made him a hit with Purdue players and fans alike.
