Coach
All Blacks coaching legend and mentor Mike Cron on what coaching rugby can teach us about life, leadership and team-building. One of the most successful coaches in world sport offers insights on leadership, high performance, teamwork and creating a winning culture. Mike Cron was an All Blacks coach over 217 games. He was instrumental in the success of one the greatest sports dynasties ever - an All Blacks side that lost just 14 games of the 103 they played, won two successive world cups, and set a new world record for their time ranked as number one. In 2022 he came out of retirement to help the Black Ferns, adding another world cup title to his record, and in 2024 he joined Joe Schmidt to coach the Australian national rugby team, the Wallabies. Coach: Lessons from an All Blacks Legend recounts a remarkable coaching career and reveals what Mike has learned about how to manage people, finding the competitive edge, and the philosophies of a champion team. 'An exceptional coach' Graham Henry 'I feel lucky to have been coached by him for so long' Sam Cane 'The best coach I know in world rugby' Wayne Smith

Inventing the Boston Game
"On Boston Common stands a monument dedicated to the Oneida Football Club. It honors the site where, in the 1860s, sixteen boys played what was then called the "Boston game"--an early version of football in the United States. In the 1920s, a handful of the players orchestrated a series of commemorative events, donating artifacts to museums, depositing self-penned histories into libraries and archives, and erecting bronze and stone memorials, all to elevate themselves as the inventors of American football. But was this self-laudatory origin story of what, by then, had become one of America's favorite games as straightforward as they made it seem or a myth-making hoax? In Inventing the Boston Game, Kevin Tallec Marston and Mike Cronin investigate and reveal the true story of the Oneida Football Club. In a compelling narrative informed by sports history, Boston history, and the study of memory, they posit that these men engaged in self-memorialization to reinforce their elite status during a period of tremendous social and economic change. This exploration provides fascinating insight into how and why origin stories are created in the first place"-- Provided by publisher.
