Game of Dreams and Heartbreak by C. P. Ryan Pdf

Game of Dreams and Heartbreak, no pun intended, is certainly not a hit-or-miss piece of work by C.P. Ryan. With his endearing storytelling style, the author whisks readers into Corningville where young Jon Breck, averaging at 90 mph, is about to be drafted for the Major League and go professional the summer after his high school graduation. As Corningville’s golden boy, Jon, at the age of nine, already struck everyone out, older kids included. With his talent and good character, Jon’s bright future is already written in the stars and solidly carved in stone. With the Major League Draft four days away, the six-foot-five, 210-pound pitcher is projected to be in the top ten picks. Yet, it looks like a tragic event hovers nearby and abruptly veers off to an unfortunate twist of fate.

Selling the Dream by Ken Campbell Pdf

Drawing on decades of combined experience in hockey at all levels, Ken Campbell and Jim Parcels pull back the curtain on hockey to show just how far our national game has strayed from its roots. What they reveal is a system driven by unrealistic expectations of a financial windfall, where minor-hockey fees and new sticks for kids are deemed “investments”— and where there is no shortage of entrepreneurs more than happy to take money from starry-eyed parents. Always informative, often shocking, Selling the Dream is not only a guidebook for legions of hockey parents across the country, its a defence of the game we all love, and of childhood itself.

Living the Dream by Jim McArdle Pdf

Legendary broadcaster Jack Brickhouse once said "any team can have a bad century." He was joking, of course, but the Chicago Cubs franchise, whose games he worked for decades, entered 2008 on the brink of making his words come painfully true. A number of expansion teams in the four major sports never have won a World Series, Super Bowl, Stanley Cup, or NBA title in their brief histories. But no team ever has gone 100 years without winning a championship. Following the Cubs' quest to avert that infamous distinction is the backdrop for Living the Dream, which, for author Jim McArdle, it truly was. McArdle, a former Cubs employee as editor of the official team magazine Vine Line, quit his job to devote himself completely to the 2008 Cubs' season. Thanks to clubhouse access generously offered by the team and an apartment located just beyond Wrigley's left-field fence, McArdle was uniquely positioned to compile this fascinating story.

Heartbreak Dreams by Daniel Elijah Sanderfer Pdf

Life has been a little hard on Waylon Evarts. Growing up in a place like Harlan, Kentucky, isn't easy. His mom is a waitress at a local diner, and his estranged father is hooked on meth. He and his mom live in a rundown trailer they inherited from his grandparents. It's paid for and on some land, but they're not living well. That is until he meets a roughneck boy named Scooter who's just moved in up the road from him. With his ripped jeans, tank top, and a mountain accent as thick as mud, Scooter is the picture of masculinity. After getting into fights in school, he was sent to live with his grandpa. However, his reasons for fighting are justified. What starts as a sweet friendship rapidly turns into a burning love. Unfortunately, fate is seldom kind to those who don't have much, and country folks are even less kind to those who are different. Can the boys make it when all the elements seem stacked against them, or will all their hopes and dreams end in heartbreak? Join best-selling author Daniel Elijah Sanderfer for this beautiful short story about young love and getting the chance to make it.

To Chase a Dream by Paul "Whitey" Kapsalis,Ted Gregory Pdf

Winners of 8 national championships, Indiana University is to men’s college soccer what University of North Carolina is to college basketball or University of Notre Dame is to college football. To Chase a Dream is the true story of one kid’s near-impossible desire to play soccer at that national powerhouse, a kid who was told time after time that he simply wasn’t good enough and never would be. What all the doubters failed to consider was that inside the body of an under-sized, humble Paul Kapsalis was the heart of a lion. This is his journey, a story that affirms that perseverance, optimism, hard work, a willingness to learn, and kindness can lead to remarkable achievements and transform a kid who just wanted to play soccer into a leader of men. It took him 5 years, fighting through rejection and a career-threatening injury, but Paul got where he never expected to go. Here’s a chance to see how he did it.
