    Racing to the Finish , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 302min
    Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s only authorized audiobook revealing the inside track on his final year of racing and retirement from the driver’s seat.“Time was running out on my charade…. My secrets were about to be exposed to the world.”It was a seemingly minor crash at Michigan International Speedway in June 2016 that ended the day early for Dale Earnhardt, Jr. What he didn’t know was that it would also end his driving for the year. He’d dealt with concussions before, but concussions are like snowflakes: No two are the same. Recovery can be brutal and lengthy.When NASCAR star Dale Earnhardt, Jr., retired from professional stock car racing in 2017, he walked away from his career as a healthy man. But for years, he had worried that the worsening effects of multiple racing-related concussions would end not only his time on the track but his ability to live a full and happy life.Torn between a race-at-all-costs culture and the fear that something was terribly wrong, Earnhardt tried to pretend everything was fine, but the private notes about his escalating symptoms that he kept on his phone reveal a vicious cycle: suffering injuries on Sunday, struggling through the week, then recovering in time to race again the following weekend. For the first time, he shares these notes and fully reveals the physical and emotional struggles he faced as he fought to close out his career on his own terms.In this candid reflection, Earnhardt opens up about his frustration with the slow recovery, his admiration for the woman who stood by him through it all, and his determination to share his own experience so others don’t have to suffer in silence. Steering his way to the final checkered flag of his storied career proved to be the most challenging race and most rewarding finish of his life.  ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Concusstitution, Welcome to Football , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 248min
    Football has been around for more than 100 years. It has had its fair share of controversies. Concussions are just the most recent of those. We wanted to show that the league of today is safer than it has ever been, and it is continuing to improve. We also wanted to show that the we didn't get to where we are overnight, and we won't fix the problems overnight either. We give a history of the sport, the evolution onto television, explain the concussion threat, and even show some ways it can be solved. We include as many facts as we can, and also wanted to get a first hand report on the problem so we reached out to some former professionals. Those interviews include: Jim McMahon, Greg McElroy, Jr., Howard Richards, Randy White, coach Bob Ward, and Roger Staubach. Jay Saldi, one of the co-authors, is a former payer for the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears. Across his ine-year career he earned one Super Bowl ring and played with some of the finest people to ever set foot on the field.Jim McMahon, one of the people interviewed for his perspective on concussions, was an NFL quarterback who earned two Super Bowl rings. During his career he suffered multiple concussions and at one point actually played part of a game with a lacerated kidney. His perspective on injuries in football is first hand, and interesting. Greg McElroy, Jr., was an NFL quarterback who is actively involved in the league and the sport to this day. His experience level is expert, and he is up to date on all of the injury issues facing the league today.Howard Richards is a former NFL player who is now involved in the NCAA level of the game. He is working with the players of the future and is as concerned with injuries and what can be done to prevent them as anyone you will ever speak with.Randy White is a Hall of Fame defensive tackle.

    Boy on Ice: The Life and Death of Derek Boogaard , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 610min
    The much-anticipated debut from the Pulitzer Prize - winning New York Times reporter, Boy on Ice is a moving human story and behind-the-scenes account of a life lived in the glare of sporting fame. The tragic death of hockey star Derek Boogaard at 28 was front-page news across the country in 2011 and helped shatter the silence about violence and concussions in professional sports. Now, in a gripping work of narrative nonfiction, acclaimed reporter John Branch tells the shocking story of Boogaard's life and heartbreaking death. Boy on Ice is the richly told story of a mountain of a man who made it to the absolute pinnacle of his sport. Widely regarded as the toughest man in the NHL, Boogaard was a gentle man off the ice but a merciless fighter on it. With great narrative drive, Branch recounts Boogaard's unlikely journey from lumbering kid playing pond-hockey on the prairies of Saskatchewan, so big his skates would routinely break beneath his feet; to his teenaged junior hockey days, when one brutal outburst of violence brought Boogaard to the attention of professional scouts; to his days and nights as a star enforcer with the Minnesota Wild and the storied New York Rangers, capable of delivering career-ending punches and intimidating entire teams. But, as Branch reveals, behind the scenes Boogaard's injuries and concussions were mounting and his mental state was deteriorating, culminating in his early death from an overdose of alcohol and painkillers. Based on months of investigation and hundreds of interviews with Boogaard's family, friends, teammates, and coaches, Boy on Ice is a brilliant work for fans of Michael Lewis's The Blind Side or Buzz Bissinger's Friday Night Lights. This is a book that raises deep and disturbing questions about the systemic brutality of contact sports - from peewees to professionals - and the damage that reaches far beyond the game. ungekürzt.

    Counting the Days While My Mind Slips Away: A Love Letter to My Family , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 470min
    After five major concussions, NFL tight end Ben Utecht of the Indianapolis Colts is losing his memories. This is his powerful and emotional love letter to his wife and daughters - whom he someday may not recognize - and an inspiring message for all to live every moment fully. At the age of 34, Ben Utecht has accumulated a vast treasure of memories: tossing a football in the yard with his father; meeting his wife, with whom he'd build a loving partnership and bring four beautiful daughters into the world; writing and performing music; catching touchdown passes from quarterback Peyton Manning; and playing a Super Bowl championship watched by 93 million people. But the game he has built his living on, the game he fell in love with as a child, is taking its toll in the most devastating way. After at least five concussions - and an untold number of microconcussions - Ben is suffering from multiple traumatic brain injuries that have erased his important memories. Knowing that his wife and daughters could someday be beyond his reach and desperate for them to understand how much he loves them, he penned a secret letter for them to read one day after his essential self is gone. Counting the Days While My Mind Slips Away chronicles his remarkable journey from his early days throwing a football back and forth with his father in Minnesota to speaking about traumatic brain injury before Congress and how his faith keeps him strong and grounded as he waits for a difficult future. Ben recounts the experiences that have shaped his life and imparts the lessons he's learned along the way. Emotionally powerful, inspiring, and uplifting, Ben's story will captivate and encourage you to make the most of every day and treasure all of your memories. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    The Disappearing Quarterback , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min
    He had everything he wanted but didn't want what he had sums up the theme of The Disappearing Quarterback by Mike Boryla, former NFL quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. Boryla relates in a humorous yet heart-wrenching way his days as a football player on the field of Regis High School in Denver, Colorado; Stanford University; and finally the Philadelphia Eagles (1974-76), throwing two touchdown passes for the NFC in the January 1977 Pro Bowl. "I made 60 percent of it humor, but the beginning and the end are pretty tough," Boryla stated recently in the Denver Post. Boryla also discusses some of the current hot-button NFL issues, including concussions (he suffered one at Regis and two with the Eagles) and brain injuries that preceded his exit from professional football. ungekürzt.
