He was a small-town boy who burst onto the international golf scene with a dramatic hook shot from deep in the woods to win the Masters— before the game he loved almost killed him. Opening up about the toll that chasing and achieving his dream of being a champion golfer took on his mental health, Bubba Watson shares his powerful story of the breaking point that gave him clarity. Bubba Watson is known as the big-hitting left-handed golfer who plays with the pink driver—the small-town kid who grew up as a child golf prodigy before going on to win two Masters Tournaments, competing in the Olympics, and rising to be the number two golfer in the world. But every dream comes with a price. Feeling that he was never good enough, Bubba began to let the constant criticism from fans and commentators haunt his thoughts. Success in the game he loved was killing him. In Up and Down, Bubba opens up about his debilitating anxiety attacks, the death of his father and namesake, adopting his children, and how reaching a breaking point professionally and personally drew him closer to his family and God. Golf is what Bubba Watson does, but it is not who he is. Through his story, you'll learn how Bubba: - Overcame his anxiety and feelings of inadequacy - Found his true identity not in the standards of the world, but in the God who already knows he is enough - Learned to trust God with his gifts, family, and biggest dreams - Became the husband, father, friend, and mentor he was called to be Life, like golf, is filled with ups and downs. Up and Down is the inspiring story of an imperfect man striving to become the best person he can be—wherever the course may take him.

Title: I Love This Game: The Autobiography Author: Patrice Evra Narrator: Patrice Evra, Ben Bailey Smith Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 55 minutes Release date: October 28, 2021 Genres: Sports Publisher's Summary: LONGLISTED FOR THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR PRIZE 'Excellent and compellingly honest' Alyson Rudd, The Times In I Love This Game, the long-awaited autobiography of Patrice Evra, the former Manchester United and France star looks back on a remarkable life and career. Having played alongside some of the club's greatest legends, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes, in one of United's most successful eras, Evra has now found a new role as an in-demand pundit and social media star.  But, as he reveals in this frank, often shocking, but always compelling memoir, beneath the surface things were not so simple, and he had to fight all the way to get to the top. Initially, it was football that saved him from being sucked into the gang culture of his tough neighbourhood of Les Ulis in the suburbs of Paris. Then, once he achieved his dream of becoming a professional, he had to deal with racism and a notorious dispute with Luis Suarez; he also became a central figure in the infamous ‘strike’ by the France national team in the 2010 World Cup; and there was the moment he launched an attack against a Marseille fan while warming up.  ‘I Love This Game’ has become Evra’s catchphrase. Throughout this wonderful book, his passion for his sport shines through and there are revealing and entertaining behind-the-scenes insights about the players and managers he’s worked with, from Sir Alex Ferguson to Paul Pogba, who knows him as Uncle Pat. With infectious enthusiasm and sharp observation, Evra takes the reader where few football autobiographies dare to tread.

Title: [Spanish] - Travesía interminable Author: Antonio Argüelles Narrator: Antonio Argüelles Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 8 hours 45 minutes Release date: February 1, 2021 Genres: Sports Publisher's Summary: El 3 de agosto de 2017, Antonio Argüelles nadó 35 kilómetros de Irlanda del Norte a Escocia. Cuando llegó a la orilla escocesa después de pasar casi 14 horas en aguas gélidas con tan sólo traje de baño, gorra y goggles, se convirtió en la séptima persona en conquistar los Siete Mares, un logro acuático equiparable a las Siete Cumbres del alpinismo. Su hazaña fue noticia internacional, en parte porque, a los 58 años, se convirtió en el atleta de mayor edad en completar el reto. Pese a las advertencias de otros y sus propias dudas, soportó mares tempestuosos, cientos de horas en el agua, medusas venenosas y muchos otros peligros para alcanzar su sueño. Pero ningún logro es un incidente aislado y ésta no es la excepción. Por eso, Travesía interminable no sólo relata las apasionantes aventuras de Antonio en el agua; también cuenta la historia de un niño hiperactivo y con sobrepeso que descubriría la natación, perseguiría un sueño olímpico, asistiría a la Universidad de Stanford y, más tarde, se adentraría en el mundo enredoso de la política mexicana. En el camino llevaría Speedo a México, organizaría los primeros triatlones en su país y viviría en carne propia las secuelas de un infame asesinato político. Ésta es una historia de riesgo, temor, confianza, fracasos y pérdidas; muestra cómo la capacidad de adaptarse, concentrar esfuerzos y controlar la mente permitió a Antonio superar cada revés que buscaba derribarlo dentro y fuera del agua.
