George was put in charge of the squadron s athletic team. George won the London Championship and his County Championship. But a muscle sprain and an uncomfortable night, trying to sleep on a hard wooden floor, probably cost him the All England Championship at Bath in 1949. George came second. His hand-crafted running spikes sit beside me in my study. George was a boxer. From the time I was a young boy, we used to spar together. He d be pretty gentle until I d catch him off guard with a punch. Then he d really show me how to do it! His boxing gloves hang in my study. George loved tennis. His old wooden tennis rackets were put to good use when we used them to practice badminton in the back garden. Once I d learnt to control a heavy tennis racket, using a lightweight badminton racket seemed easy. One of those old rackets stands in the corner. George taught me to run and to swim. To cycle and to play chess. We joined a badminton club. We played squash and Monopoly. Holidays were spent pla …

Yesterday,I got a call from a baseball player who is playing triple a ball for a major league team. He is worried because he has been in a hitting slump. In addition, he is fearful that his lack of confidence will prevent him from making it into the major leagues. Obviously, he is under some significant pressure and to make matters worse, he is doubting himself. It is important to understand that players, parents, coaches and therapists spend a lot of time building youngsters’ confidence. And there are many ways to help people to believe in themselves and in their physical abilities. I have dozens of them. Bedtime is a great time of the day to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. When you get ready to go to sleep, you can use this quiet time to build yourself up instead of dwelling on all that went wrong earlier in the day or worrying about what could go wrong tomorrow.

Strawberry Shortcake at the Beach (Strawberry Shortcake) Strawberry Shortcake and her pals have planned the perfect day at the beach. But when Angel Cake accidentally breaks Strawberry’s favorite sunglasses, this sweet day turns sour. Can the girls mend the sunglasses and their friendship?
Customer Review: So cute!
You really can’t go wrong with SS! All the books and movies are wholesome and entertaining. I love reading them to my daughter and watching the movies with her. Actually, my son loves them too but would never admit it to his friends (he’s 9). Good thing he has a little sister
Customer Review: a bit sweet, but good light reading
My three-year-old fights sleep, but we have found that we can read her to sleep with the various Strawberry books. They are cute enough to maintain her attention, but not so exciting as to wake her back up. The names of characters and places can be a bit much for adults to take, but I will probably buy more books in the series since they teach good lessons about friendship & sharing (and they do help settle our little night owl!)
