Product Description
Principles, Patterns, and Productivity
Now that you understand movement screening, how will you use the information?

The uncomfortable truth: The physical culture of much of the world has measurably eroded while the health and fitness field has managed its profit margins and delivered the illusion of rehabilitation and performance. The business of human movement has failed to manage its own downside.

"I just loved this book. Gray really sees the big picture like nobody else in the industry. ~ Erik Dalton, PhD
Dalton Myoskeletal

Gray Cook, co-founder of Functional Movement Systems, believes you can break that trend by asking better questions of yourself and those you help. The Business of Movement guides you in how to listen to what movement is telling you in health, wellness, fitness and performance, and will help you implement standard operating procedures to build confidence in your responses.

Standard business strategies are unsustainable if what you're trying to sell doesn't stack up to your competition's. Becoming a better practitioner is the most important thing you can do to unlock opportunities. The Business of Movement is your blueprint.

· Part One grounds you in the foundational principles of the Functional Movement Systems.
· Part Two outlines the processes of implementing the Systems as a strategy to raise your effectiveness and efficiency.
· Part Three offers examples from professionals who built successful careers and businesses across the fields of health and human performance.

No matter where you work on the continuum of human movement-from medical and wellness professionals to fitness trainers and sports or performance coaches-The Business of Movement will provide the map and compass to navigate the path to personal and professional mastery.

"Much has changed in the world of human performance since we met around 20 years ago, and Gray, you and your FMS team have consistently aimed toward free thinking and innovation. The Business of Movement has much to offer today's human performance professionals, and it would, in my opinion, also be a useful textbook for university undergrad/graduate exercise science/fitness leadership students."
~ Dr. Ed Thomas

"Gray's premise is beautiful in its simplicity: Training movement can fix muscles, but training muscles rarely fixes movement. Since all of sport is movement, his 80/20 approach is then astounding in its effectiveness.For the time invested, the FMS and its cousins are the best tools I've seen for producing bullet-proof athletes and pain-free non-athletes in record time."~ Tim Ferriss, author of the #1 NY Times bestseller,

This is the official autobiography from four-time Olympic gold-winning and record-setting American gymnast Simone Biles, and it is not all gold that glitters!!!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Excerpted from "Courage to Soar: A Body in Motion, A Life in Balance" by Simone Biles, Copyright © 2016 by Simone Biles. Used by permission of Zondervan, www.zondervan.com. From Chapter 19: The Final Five
... [On] Tuesday, August 9, our team did exactly what we had been training for so many years to do: We performed almost flawless routines and won team gold. If the all-around win was considered to be the jewel in the crown, the team medal was the crown itself - the main reason we were there. On the podium afterward, feeling the heavy gold disc around my neck, I felt so privileged to be standing with my teammates. All I could think was, Wow, we did it. How long have I dreamed about this? We were so happy for each other and for ourselves, but our job was only half over. The all-around competition and the event finals were still to come. I wasn't anywhere near finished trying to make my family and my country proud.

That afternoon, we told Martha that we'd named ourselves the Final Five as a tribute to her. When we explained how we'd all agreed on the name, she dabbed the corners of her eyes and said in her thick accent, "Oh my God, I love you guys even more now!" And she hugged us tightly. The rest of the afternoon and evening was a whirl of press interviews and photo ops, and then it was home to our little pod in the Olympic Village. We all fell right into bed, because we had to be up for our regular eight a.m. training the next morning. Before going to sleep, I carefully folded the green multicolored ribbon around my medal and put it at the bottom of my backpack. Later, they would give us sleek wooden cases to hold our medals, but for now, my makeshift storage would have to do.

"Can you believe we actually did it?" Laurie whispered, stifling a yawn before we drifted off. "We're not just Olympians now; we're gold medalists."

I was too exhausted from happiness to answer, so I just smiled. But when I awoke the next morning, I wasn't quite sure if the day before had all been a dream. I reached for my backpack and pulled out the medal, just to be sure. I unrolled the green ribbon and placed the gold disc in the palm of my hand, feeling its distinctive weight as I sent up a silent prayer of gratitude.

Thursday morning, the day of the Olympic all-around competition, dawned bright and clear. The apartment was silent when I opened my eyes. The rest of the girls except for Aly had already gone to breakfast. From there they would head to the training hall. Later, they would be in the gymnastics arena to see Aly and me battle it out with the best in the world for the coveted all-around title.

I went to find Aly. She was in her room and still in bed. "I feel so good about today," I told her.

"Me too," she said, holding up one hand for a fist bump.

"We're so prepared. I have a really good feeling."

My heart was galloping in my chest, but it wasn't nerves; it was excitement. I could hardly wait to get into the arena. Aly and I each showered and then we did our hair and makeup together in the living room. We took our time because the competition wouldn't begin until the early afternoon. I outlined my eyes in gold glitter and chose a nude lipstick instead of a bold one. The eye makeup, with my usual winged corners, was dramatic enough, and my sparkly leo would complete the effect. The night before, we'd chosen the leos we wanted to wear and laid them out on our beanbag chairs. Aly had opted for the shiny red with lines of crystals fanning out from the neckline like bursts of sunlight, while I'd selected a super patriotic number with sheer white crystal-studded sleeves, and dazzling red-and-white stripes running from the shoulders down both sides, framing a high-sheen blue fabric dotted with glittering stars. I'd saved this leotard, my favorite, for the all-around. I hoped its shimmer would help me win gold.

I was already feeling incredibly happy to be sharing this day with Aly, who was such a rock-solid competitor and friend. As we walked to the bus that would take us to the arena, we held hands like schoolgirls and bobbed our heads to the music coming through our headphones. Every so often we'd hug each other and say, "You're good. You've worked so hard. You deserve to be here. You've got this." And then we'd say, "I love you so much. I love you, no matter what. Today will be a good day."

Our warm-up in the training hall went without a hitch or a fall, and then it was show time. Before we walked out to compete, we always used the bathroom just in case. As I washed my hands and stared at my face in the mirror, my stomach was suddenly doing somersaults. I plopped down on a bench that was just outside the bathroom and tried to pull myself together. A few moments later, Aly walked out and sat down beside me. When she leaned her head back against the wall, I noticed she looked really pale.

"Are you okay?" I said.

She shook her head from left to right.

"Are you okay?" she asked me.

"No," I said. "I feel like I'm going to throw up."

The two of us sat there for several minutes, breathing slowly and trying to settle ourselves down.

"We're okay," I said after a while.

"We've got this," Aly said.

"We can do this."

"We've done this so many times."

"I love you, Aly."

"I love you, Simone."

"Let's go."

We did another fist bump and walked out onto the arena floor.

Journalist David Walsh followed cyclist Lance Armstrong for over 13 year and gives a detailed account of what happened with his career and final scandal.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The basis for the upcoming major motion picture The Program directed by Stephen Frears (High Fidelity, The Queen, Philomena), starring Chris O'Dowd as journalist David Walsh and Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong.
When Lance Armstrong won his first Tour de France in 1999, the sports world had found a charismatic new idol. Journalist David Walsh was among a small group covering the tour who suspected Armstrong's win wasn't the feel-good story it seemed to be. From that first moment of doubt, the next thirteen years of Walsh's life would be focused on seeking the answers to a series of hard questions about Armstrong's astonishing success.

As Walsh delved ever deeper into the shadow world of performance-enhancing drugs in professional athletics, he accumulated a mounting pile of evidence that led a furious Armstrong to take legal action against him. But he could not make Walsh-or the story-go away, and in the autumn of 2012, Walsh was vindicated when the cyclist was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles.

With this remarkable book, Walsh has produced both the definitive account of the Armstrong scandal, and a testament to the importance of journalists who are willing to report a difficult truth over a popular fantasy.

Do you believe some people are born athletes?

Is sporting talent innate or something that can be achieved through endurance and practise?

In this ground-breaking and entertaining exploration of athletic success, award-winning writer David Epstein gets to the heart of the great nature vs. nurture debate, and explodes myths about how and why humans excel.

Along the way, Epstein:

- Exposes the flaws in the so-called 10,000-hour rule that states that rigorous practice from a young age is the only route to success.

- Shows why some skills that we imagine are innate are not - like the bullet-fast reactions of a baseball player.

- Uncovers why other characteristics that we assume are entirely voluntary, like the motivation to practice, might in fact have important genetic components.

Throughout, The Sports Gene forces us to rethink the very nature of success.

For those of you who love basketball. This is a book about Kobe Bryant's life and career.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
MCD/FSG is thrilled to announce that we will be publishing The Mamba Mentality: How I Play, the first nonfiction book from the basketball superstar Kobe Bryant since his 2016 retirement-a lavish, deep dive inside the mind of one of the most revered athletes of all time.

In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe "The Black Mamba" Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary "Mamba Mentality." Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to approach it, The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players of all time.

Bryant's detailed accounts are paired with stunning photographs by the Hall of Fame photographer Andrew D. Bernstein. Bernstein, long the official photographer for the Lakers and the NBA, captured Bryant's very first NBA photo in 1996 and his last in 2016-and hundreds of thousands in between, the record of a singular twenty-year relationship between one athlete and one photographer.

For the first time, and in his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel. Readers will learn how Bryant studied an opponent, how he channeled his passion for the game, how he played through injuries. They'll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.

The combination of Bryant's narrative and Bernstein's photos make The Mamba Mentality a unique look behind the curtain at the career of one of the world's most celebrated and fascinating athletes.
