Martin Turner's book of poems is unusual because he does not claim to be a poet. It is different,too, because he never studied or tried to learn about the different forms poetry can take. Almost all his work appears to be triggered by someone or something in his life and then simply pours onto the page from some deep source in his head.¿It may be his own experiences that explain why this book attempts to reveal how even the darkest times that we all experience from time to time can pass, and life become good and fulfilling again. Quite a number of these poems are about love and were inspired by love. Martin Turner is a fortunate man to have shared life and love with the different muses who have inspired him and given him the ability to write down his thoughts and feelings. Because of these muses he clearly never had to sit and try to think what to write. It is also evident that in his poems he enjoys using the beautiful words of the English language to create images in the mind of the reader.

Doing strategy right, doing it fast, and doing it a lot. What is our situation? What's the Big Idea? Do we dare? Who is with us? What are we good at? What are we doing that's different, and how will we take people with us? What steps must we take, and in what order? How do we get better as we go? How are things arranged? How will strategy change us? If you want to be a great athlete, train. If you want to be a great pianist, practise. If you want to be an effective strategist, hire forty--five consultants, undertake a six-month review, and produce a two--hundred and fifty-page document... ...or not. Strategy is becoming more complicated, more cum-bersome, more expensive, more specialised and, to be completely frank, more ridiculous. The Ten Minute Strategist is about going in the oppo-site direction. In one framework and ten simple ques-tions, it shows you how to tackle almost any problem strategically, whether you have two days, twelve weeks, or just ten minutes. It is that ability to work rapidly and often which sets this book apart from others. Because the key to becoming a great strategist is doing it a lot.

At the highest level, athletes are highly skilled, highly trained, and highly proficient machines.Take the 100m sprint for example. All of the athletes in the Olympic final can run sub-ten seconds. They are all fast! But on the day, the deciding factor is often not how fast they are, but rather, how fast they can run under the high pressure circumstances of an Olympic final.The ability to deal with pressure is not about any physical or technical skill, but is more about what goes on between the ears - in other words, it is psychological and about performing with freedom, dealing with distractions, regulating emotions, maintaining self-confidence, and trusting the body's ability to deliver under pressure."The ability to produce a world-beating time is about how you use your mind to allow your body to function with freedom and fluency."Many athletes grow up with the philosophy that their mental approach to performance is fixed. They do the same things over and over again and expect excellence. But we know that mental approaches are not fixed. They are extremely changeable and adaptable, and therefore the greatest athletes can develop their mental approaches to fulfil their potential. Athletes who can deal with pressure enjoy their sport more, achieve excellence and are resilient to the demands of competition and training.Tipping The Balance offers contemporary evidence-based and highly practical mental strategies that help an athlete to develop the crucial mental skills that enable them to thrive under pressure, perform consistently when it matters most, and enjoy the challenge of the big event.This book is about empowering you - the athlete - no matter what level you perform at.
