You Got This!: Mental Game Skills for Young Softball Players
by Dr Curt IckesYou Got This!: Mental Game Skills for Young Softball Players Softball isn’t just about physical skills. It’s a mental game, too. It’s never too early for young players to start mastering the mental side of the game! Parents and coaches, this exciting book is your chance to give your athletes the mental edge they need. Renowned sport psychologist Dr. Curt Ickes created this book specifically to help 8-12-year-old softball players play their best. Dr. Ickes uses fun, easy-to-follow lessons to bring sport psychology techniques to young players—skills often reserved for older athletes—making them available to kids. The lessons are taught using easy-to-understand language and are woven into a fun, relatable story. Follow Ava, Zoe, Addie, and the Southport Sting as they take on challenges both on and off the field. Zoe, like many young athletes, battles anxiety and self-doubt, but with the help of her new teammate Ava, she learns how to overcome these struggles, bounce back from mistakes, sharpen her focus, and boost her confidence. And just in time, too! The Sting is about to face two powerhouse teams, the Calabash Cobras and the Wilmington Wildcats, and they’ll need every ounce of mental strength to come out on top! Slumps, self-doubt, anxiety: these are challenges every young player faces. One bad game can cause a spiral of negative thoughts, turning a single mistake into a string of poor performances. Parents and coaches often say things like, “Be confident” or “Relax,” but without real tools, these words don’t stick. That’s where You Got This! comes in. This book teaches proven mental game strategies that young players can easily understand and apply. With practical exercises and a review section to lock in their new skills, your athlete will be equipped to face any challenge with confidence.

You Only Live Twice: Sex, Death and Transition (Exploded Views)
by Mike Hoolboom Chase JoyntYOLT explores two artists' lives before and after transitions: from female to male, and from near-dead to alive. The unspoken promise was that in our second life we would become the question to every answer, jumping across borders until they finally dissolve. Man and woman. Queer and straight. What if it's not true that you only live once? In this genre-transcending book, trans writer and media artist Chase Joynt and HIV-positive movie artist Mike Hoolboom come together over the films of Chris Marker to exchange transition tales, confessional missives that map out the particularities of occupying what they call 'second lives': Chase's transition from female to male and Mike's near-death from AIDS. Weaving cultural theory with memoir and media analysis, YOLT asks intimate questions about what it might mean to find love and hope through conversation across generations. 'Chase Joynt and Mike Hoolboom here give each other the gift so many people only dream of: ample, unhurried space to unspool crucial stories of one's life, and an attentive, impassioned, invested, intelligent receiver on the other side. The gift to the reader is both the example of their exchange, and the nuanced, idiosyncratic, finely rendered examination it offers of biopolitical experiences which, in many ways, define our times. I'm so glad they have each other, and that we have this.' - Maggie Nelson 'You Only Live Twice is an intelligent ode to enchantment, to the possibilities that arise in 'second lives' when all past expectations have been foreclosed.' - Chris Kraus 'The writing is out of the park -- strong and surprising, a relay race of brilliant twirling, tossing thoughts back and forth like balletic rugby bros. Joynt and Hoolboom's dances of disclosure are so courageous and generative, gifts to us all.' - John Greyson

You Shouldn't Have to Say Goodbye
