Acerca de esta escucha
With the awakening of the sun on a sunny summer morning in Montevideo, Raúl finds himself late for practice. The captain of the Uruguayan national football team and the main character of the novel leads his teammates to the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
Despite being full of enthusiasm, dreams, and hope, the young football squad finds itself battling for further participation just shortly after getting off to a decent start. As captain and leader, Raul is situated in the middle, when the entire team is sucked into the whirlpool that is being in the media's spotlight, ghosts from the past, and the burden of national pride.

Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to win at any cost has not made her popular. But by the time she retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Grand Slam titles. And if you ask Carrie, she is entitled to every one. She sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father, Javier, as her coach. A former champion himself, Javier has trained her since the age of two.

From Andre Agassi, one of the most beloved athletes in history and one of the most gifted men ever to step onto a tennis court, a beautiful, haunting autobiography. Agassi brings a near-photographic memory to every pivotal match and every relationship. Never before has the inner game of tennis and the outer game of fame been so precisely limned. In clear, taut prose, Agassi evokes his loyal brother, his wise coach, his gentle trainer, all the people who help him regain his balance and find love at last with Stefanie Graf.

Stone Townsend is the center for the pro-hockey team in Charleston. There are just a few things he’s concerned with: bringing his large family together again, leading his new team to a championship, and doing a lot of scoring–on and off the ice. Which is why it was the worst time to get an injury under new team management and a new coach.

The pressure for perfection is higher than ever when horrifying news rips the team apart.

Talented golfer Morgan Spencer has never won a major but it's so close she can taste it - no thanks to her sexist father, a golfing legend who won't even give her the time of day. Television producer Adrienne Wyatt has thrown herself into her career after her lover left her a year ago. She has a brilliant new plan: a documentary featuring Morgan's rise and rise, capitalizing on the young woman's star appeal. The main problem is that the reserved golfer treats Adrienne's plan like an invasion of privacy. The other issue is her growing feelings for the irritatingly attractive woman.

This book is not just about how I got back on my horse and went clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup final in Japan. It's the story of how a fat kid who had to live up to the nickname Psycho grew up to play (and party) for over a decade with rugby's greatest pros. From just about surviving the equivalent of 30 car crashes a game and crooning Adele for team spirit, to extensive field notes on the smell of the Scrum and the fine art of on-pitch relief. Then there's rugby's secret naked wrestling scene and how it was exposed. In my world, you never know how the ball will bounce.

Towering at six feet seven inches, Crouch is prized for his self-deprecating humour, having famously answered the question “what would you be if you weren’t a footballer?” with the one liner “a virgin”. At the same time, he has had an incredible career, from World Cups to Champions League finals. He has scored more headed goals than anyone else in Premiership history and has a better goals-to-minute on the pitch ratio for England than even Michael Owen. A humble professional with a great sense of humour, Crouch is one of the few players that is liked by fans of all clubs.
