'From incredible highs to devastating lows, the championship battles and mental turmoil, Derby winners and cancer heartbreak, Pat has left more than a legacy. Read this and you will agree with me – he is iconic.'RUBY WALSH'Pat tells his story with the same honesty and humility that defined him as a person. He was a remarkable man and his is a compelling story.'SIR ANTHONY MCCOY'Pat was an amazing man, a man of dignity who went about life with a smile on his face. He is an example to all of us.'FRANKIE DETTORI'Inspiring, heart-breaking and unforgettable.'BROUGH SCOTT Pat Smullen was one of the greatest Irish jockeys ever. In a career laden with success, his position as one of the country's best ever flat jockeys was long established. And yet, despite being a nine-time champion jockey, his humility defined him. It was this strength of character that sustained him when, in March 2018, Pat was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There was never any self-pity. He just dealt with it. And more than that, he brought it centre stage: raising funds and awareness, and channelling his energies into helping others. Pat was a champion in all aspects of life, no matter what setbacks were thrown at him. Tragically, his life was cut short far too early in September 2020. Written in the months before his death, with the assistance of Donn McClean and completed by Pat's wife, Frances Crowley, Champion is the inspirational story of the jockey whose legacy lives on.

Dark haired, slight, with deep-set haunted eyes, Herschel Grynszpan is an undocumented Jewish alien living in Paris. He receives a postcard from his parents – recently bundled from their Hanover flat, put on a train and dumped, with 12,000 others on the Polish border. Enraged, Herschel buys a gun and kills a minor German official in the German Embassy. The repercussions trigger Kristalnacht, the nationwide pogrom against the Jews in Germany and Austria, a calamity which some have called the opening act of the Holocaust. Intertwined is the parallel life of the German boxer, Max Schmeling, who as a result of his victory over the then'invincible'Joe Louis in 1936 became the poster boy of the Nazis. He and his movie-star wife, Anny Ondra, were feted by the regime – tea with Hitler, a passage on the airship Hindenburg – until his brutal two-minute beating in the rematch with Louis less than two years later. His story reaches a climax during Kristalnacht, where the champion performs an act of quiet heroism.

'I am the greatest! I am the king!'Muhammad Ali was one of the most electrifying, inspiring, and confrontational athletes of his generation. At the height of his boxing career, Ali was as despised as he was adored. Loud and aggressive as well as confident and dedicated, he was the quintessential showman, the undeniable champion of his sport, and one of the most recognizable faces in the world. He was challenged at every turn: faced with racial discrimination in his everyday life, mocked by the sports media as his career began, ridiculed for adopting a new religion, and stripped by the U.S. government of his very livelihood for refusing to go to war. Muhammad Ali faced the obstacles in his life the way he faced his opponents in the ring, brashly and with all the force at his command. In his private life, he was also deeply spiritual, committed to standing up against social injustice, and steadfast in his beliefs. Featuring stunning illustrations and covering his entire life from childhood through his professional career to his end of life battle with Parkinson's Syndrome, this is a moving tribute to the legacy of this impressive figure.

Large, mature companies often struggle when it comes to the uncertain process of breakthrough innovation. But innovation is an imperative in today's cutthroat business environment. To fulfill its potential, there has to be a better way—and there is.

Viewing innovation as a discipline in its own right, it is easy to see that breakthrough wins require an organizational design with clearly delineated roles, responsibilities, and career tracks for those who shoulder the responsibility for new products. Drawing on the results of a four-year study and two decades of related research, this book outlines three fundamental competencies necessary for innovation: discovery, incubation, and acceleration. Mapping these skills onto roles and opportunities for advancement, the authors deliver a pioneering blueprint for sustainable innovation.

Adolescence, sport et succès, comment tout gérer?Au centre de l'attention du public et des médias, le champion est désormais investi d'une fonction qui dépasse largement le champ sportif ; icône moderne, il véhicule une image de réussite sociale, particulièrement forte chez les jeunes. A « l'âge du passage entre l'enfance et l'âge adulte », l'adolescent champion doit relever un double défi : l'accès à l'identité d'adulte, accomplissement naturel de l'adolescence et l'accès à l'identité de champion, aboutissement logique de l'investissement sportif de haut niveau. L'adolescent ne possède pas toujours le caractère et les armes pour faire les bons choix et en assumer les conséquences. Alors comment gérer et vivre ces deux phénomènes, l'un par rapport à l'autre? Quels bénéfices l'adolescent peut-il tirer de cette expérience de pratique sportive intensive? et surtout, comment l'accompagner dans ce choix pour que sa « carrière » sportive s'harmonise avec sa propre trajectoire de vie? Questions brûlantes que doivent se poser parents, accompagnateurs, enseignants, entraîneurs, médecins du sport, en fait, tous ceux et celles qui entourent l'adolescent sportif. Avec « L'Adolescent champion », le docteur Claire Carrier présente un remarquable travail d'analyse des paramètres culturels, scientifiques et fonctionnels de la gestion des jeunes sportifs. Forte de son expérience de prise en charge d'adolescents à l'INSEP, elle propose un schéma d'analyse inédit, adapté aux adolescents sportifs de haut niveau.Un guide sous forme de questions-réponses qui permet une meilleure vision d'ensemble sur le passage à l'âge adulte et le monde sportifEXTRAITIl est d'observation courante que le choix sportif de haut niveau se fait en période de préadolescence : la plupart des sélections s'adresse à des jeunes gens âgés de dix à quatorze ans, ayant déjà investi le domaine sportif. L'entraînement intensif visant la performance concerne les années suivantes, c'est-à-dire les années d'adolescence, âge du changement, du « passage » entre l'enfance et l'âge adulte. Ainsi, l'accès à l'identité adulte, accomplissement de l'adolescence comme l'accès à l'identité de champion, aboutissement de l'investissement sportif de haut niveau, sont proposés à l'individu au même moment de son développement.Partant de ce constat, la question que nous allons développer, est celle des manières de gérer et de vivre ces deux phénomènes l'un par rapport à l'autre : interaction, intrication, utilisation réciproque ou au contraire séparation, exclusivité.
