DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe modern day youth sports environment has taken the enjoyment out of athletics for our children. Currently, 70% of kids drop out of organized sports by the age of 13, which has given rise to a generation of overweight, unhealthy young adults. There is a solution. John O’Sullivan shares the secrets of the coaches and parents who have not only raised elite athletes, but have done so by creating an environment that promotes positive core values and teaches life lessons instead of focusing on wins and losses, scholarships, and professional aspirations. Changing the Game gives adults a new paradigm and a game plan for raising happy, high performing children, and provides a national call to action to return youth sports to our kids.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA father's true story of his high-school-age son's winning soccer season. Soccer Dad is simultaneously the candid reflections of a devoted father and the enthusiastic observations of a diehard soccer fan. When Matt enters his senior year of high school, it is not without myriad parenting concerns on the part of his father, author W. D. Wetherell. What is his role in shaping his son's future? What will life be like when Matt is away at college? And what of Matt's soccer season?—Is Matt's success in soccer just setting him up for disappointment later in life? With the pensive eye of an artist, Wetherell follows his son's team from field to field and win to win and ruminates on topics ranging from soccer's esoteric appeal in America to the conflicting emotions of a parent sending his youngest child out into the world. Reflecting on his own experiences both as a participant and a spectator, Wetherell offers a paean to the sport of soccer and the joys of parenthood. Updated and revised with a new chapter that brings Soccer Dad fully up to date, this is an exciting new edition that readers will enjoy for years to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAwaiting my next orders, I wondered about my future as a sniper assassin, and whether I would be stuck in this job for our government-even after Viet Nam.Could I live a normal life and keep knowledge of this deep secret work from my wife in the civilian world? Two small-town Italian-American boys grow up to discover that there are no "civilians" in life. Each man must be a soldier in his chosen army's battle for what is believed right-even if it's wrong. Enlisting in the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, John Palumbo is recruited as a sniper and immerses himself in the shady world of assassination. His best friend, Nick Esposito, is fighting his own battles back in the United States with his involvement in the Mafia. But John soon discovers the harsh reality of two parallel worlds: military service, where killing is justified for what's believed to be right for the common good, and the shady underworld of organized crime, where killing is condoned for another kind of justice. As each man delves deeper into his chosen profession, it becomes all too clear that retribution has a very personal price .
