A Champion's Heart by Keri Pedersen Pdf

Samantha wasn't paying attention anymore. Her eyes were glued to a tall, porcelain gray colt. The colt had a timeless beauty to him. His coat was shimmering in the light of the sun, his mane was flowing in the breeze, and he carried his head high with his neck rounded as if he were royalty.Samantha Green is haunted by the memory of a tragic cross-country accident. On that horrible day, she lost her beloved horse, but she also lost her determination to become the next Olympic contender. Samantha swears that she will never ride a horse again or let another horse get close to her heart for as long as she lives. Her plan is working perfectly, until Samantha steps in to save an injured race horse. Before she knows it, Samantha is the new owner of a charismatic stallion named Star Spangled Banner. Drawn by the horse's effortless grace and commanding presence, Samantha knows that she can make him a champion, but she also knows that being back on a horse terrifies her. Star opens old wounds and makes everything change. With the help of her best friends, Samantha begins to train in an old arena without her parents' knowledge. Can this fearless horse with a heart of gold convince a now timid Samantha to have a little faith and reclaim her dream of Olympic contention? Will Samantha find healing, or will the painful memories of her old horse cause her to give up her dream again? In A Champion's Heart, Keri Pedersen explores the powerful bond between a girl and her horse and overcoming seemingly impossible obstacles.

Playing in Isolation by Junwei Yu Pdf

Despite the political instability characterizing twentieth-century Taiwan, the value of baseball in the lives of Taiwanese has been a constant since the game was introduced in 1895. The game first gained popularity on the island under the Japanese occupation, and that popularity continued after World War II despite the withdrawal of the Japanese and an official lack of support from the new state power, the Chinese Nationalist Party. The remarkable success of Taiwanese Little League teams in the 1970s and 1980s cemented Taiwan’s relationship with the game. Taiwanese native Junwei Yu’s Playing in Isolation presents a comprehensive account of that relationship. While giving due credit to the great successes in Taiwanese baseball, Yu also addresses the scandals and controversies that have plagued the sport, including game fixing, improper recruitment practices, and the age-deception fiasco that tainted Taiwan’s seventeen Little League World Series wins. In addition Yu draws attention to the influence traditional culture exerts on parental support of sports versus education and more sedentary occupations. Drawing on detailed research and personal experience, Yu provides a rare, honest look at the reality of baseball in Taiwan and offers an insider’s perspective on a unique part of baseball history.

The Champion in You by Kenneth Ulmer Pdf

True champions are made, not born. God builds champions and He wants to build you into the champion you were meant to be. Success is defined in today s culture mostly by monetary wealth. Leaders are defined by leading. But champions are in a class by themselves. They are not defined by money or followers, but by how they live and influence people in ways that glorify God and encourage and inspire others. Examining the lives of biblical and modern-day champions gives you the keys to becoming a champion through developing: · Stamina during challenges. · Winning character traits. · Integrity and trustworthiness. · Leadership qualities. · Solid moral values. Author and pastor Kenneth Ulmer offers guidance and advice in a world increasingly bereft of true champions. You will learn how to stay on track to becoming a true champion God s way, and not be tripped up as many self-described Christian leaders have been in recent years. Choose today to be a champion!

Star Champion by Susan Grant Pdf

Previously Published as The Champion of Baresh Dreaming big on a dead-end world... Jemm Aves toils for a mining company by day, but at night she is a successful bajha player, disguised as a male to compete in the violent underworld of the colony's fight clubs. Every win puts her one small step closer to her goal: saving enough to escape Baresh with her family. When a royal recruits her to be a star player for his team, her ruse proves to be her most perilous game yet when it puts both their lives-and her heart-at risk. Prince Charming he was not... Prince Klark is eager to reverse his reputation as the black sheep of the Vedla clan. If his bajha team can win the galactic title it would go a long way toward restoring the family honor that his misdeeds tarnished. On Baresh, he tracks down an amateur who has risen to the top of the seedy world of street bajha, offering the commoner a chance of a lifetime: a way off that reeking space rock for good. But his new player comes with a scandalous secret that turns his plans and his beliefs upside down. He sets out to win a very different prize-his champion's reluctant heart.
