Gladys grows up in a large family, convinced she is the odd one out, especially compared with pretty Rita, the sister closest to her. Then elder brother Jim invents a new game he calls the Courage Game, in which all seven of the children will be tested for their ability to keep a stiff upper lip. Little does she know, she'll recall this game years later, comparing his little hand-made badges to those handed out by the W.S.P.U., the suffragettes. The poverty of Ireland in the 1890s is capped by the terrible conditions of the Birmingham slums where she first works as a teacher. Heartsick at the hardship she sees all around her, she's driven to change it, but only the Pankhursts seem to offer any hope of a woman’s voice being heard - providing they win the right to vote, that is. Enthusiastically, Gladys throws herself in, juggling her job, her burgeoning love life and her work for the suffragettes. But how long can one woman keep walking such a line without losing her balance?

Jim Dent, the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Junction Boys, returns with a powerful Texas story which transcends college football, displaying the courage and determination of one of the game's most valiant players. Freddie Steinmark was a small but scrappy young man when he arrived at the University of Texas in 1967. A tenacious competitor, Freddie became UT's star safety by the start of the 1969 season, but he'd also developed a crippling pain in his thigh. Freddie continued to play, helping the Longhorns to rip through opponents like pulpwood. His final game was for the 1969 national championship, when the Longhorns rallied to beat Arkansas in a legendary game that has become known as "the Game of the Century." Tragically, bone cancer took Freddie off the field when nothing else could. But nothing could extinguish his irrepressible spirit or keep him away from the game. Today, a photo of Freddie hangs in the tunnel at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, where players touch it before games en route to the field. With Courage Beyond the Game, a Brian's Song for college football, Jim Dent once again brings readers to cheers and tears with a truly American tale of bravery in the face of the worst odds.

Winner of the 2016 PEN/ESPN Award for Literary Sports Writing The true story of the game that never should have happened--and of a nation on the brink of monumental change In the fall of 1943, at the little-known North Carolina College for Negroes, Coach John McLendon was on the verge of changing basketball forever. A protégé of James Naismith, the game's inventor, McLendon taught his team to play the full-court press and run a fast break that no one could catch. His Eagles would become the highest-scoring college team in America--a basketball juggernaut that shattered its opponents by as many as sixty points per game. Yet his players faced danger whenever they traveled backcountry roads. Across town, at Duke University, the best basketball squad on campus wasn't the Blue Devils, but an all-white military team from the Duke medical school. Composed of former college stars from across the country, the team dismantled everyone they faced, including the Duke varsity. They were prepared to take on anyone--until an audacious invitation arrived, one that was years ahead of anything the South had ever seen before. What happened next wasn't on anyone's schedule. Based on years of research, The Secret Game is a story of courage and determination, and of an incredible, long-buried moment in the nation's sporting past. The riveting, true account of a remarkable season, it is the story of how a group of forgotten college basketball players, aided by a pair of refugees from Nazi Germany and a group of daring student activists, not only blazed a trail for a new kind of America, but helped create one of the most meaningful moments in basketball history.

I want you to think about a time when you were dead and buried in a game and found the courage to never give up; a time when you realised that a miracle was needed and you actually achieved one. Isn't it the best feeling? That is not luck, that is courage.Courage gives you the opportunity to walk off the bowling green knowing that you gave everything you had, despite the final result. It allows you to walk away standing tall and free from regrets. It basically gives you the right to feel good after every game no matter how many you won or lost by.Courage is this inner super-power that allows us you achieve all the time, every time. It makes you feel good about yourself and increases your overall enjoyment for the sport.If you are willing to give your best 100% of the time during every game you play, then you are as courageous as you can possibly be. You give yourself every possible chance of winning and can guarantee that you will never give up.If you walk away from a game knowing you could have done better, then you are not courageous. You will feel awful about yourself and the match and most likely be ill-tempered and frustrated. You will have regrets.Courage is about excluding all regrets from your game. It provides a clear avenue to enjoyment and success.A courageous bowler is not lucky when they win the close games, they deserve them.A courageous bowler who comes from behind and records an amazing victory, or holds off a fast finishing opponent while staying cool under pressure, deserves every win they have.The most memorable wins are the tough games that require every iota of courage to get over the line. It is not the easy wins or the biggest wins that you remember, it is the wins that when everybody else chewed their nails, or sat down and gave up, you stood up and faced your fears.Make the choice to be courageous. One day you might need to draw a shot within a foot of a sunken jack to win a World Singles. Nervous? A little.Courage? Without a doubt.
