Shane McGuigan: McGuigan, S: Arena, Fester Einband

Klappentext

This is a no-holds barred look at boxing and the lessons it can teach us all.

'It is not the critic who counts, it's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly, who at the best knows the triumph of achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, he fails daring greatly.'

Boxing is a harsh, unforgiving sport. But so is life. The lessons boxing instils, from the discipline of routine training to steeling yourself for an opponent's punch, help you understand how to cope and survive in the arena we call life. In *The Arena: 12 Lessons From Boxing to Help You Succeed in Life, Business and Sport,*acclaimed boxing trainer Shane McGuigan shares the key lessons that boxing teaches, showing you how to apply these to your own life.

With each of the 12 Rounds focusing on a different lesson that provides the reader with a takeaway, Shane supplements this with case studies and anecdotes from his time training many of boxing's most famed fighters. Whether it's the family and people you surround yourself with (Round 6), dealing with ego (Round 9) or learning the art of communication (Round 12), the lessons that Shane shares are accessible to everyone and applicable to all.
