|title= Today We Die a Little: Emil Zatopek, Olympic Legend to Cold War Hero
|rating= 4
|genre= Sport
|summary= As a runner myself, I often look for sources of inspiration. Training is rewarding, but every so often a day comes along when I question whether it is all worth it or not. Zatopek proves that is, indeed, all worth it. He put copious amounts of effort into his training, and the number of races he won over his career as a professional athlete clearly shows the results of it.

|summary=Nothing divides opinion quite like football and no-one expresses their joy and disappointment like football fans. For many fans, the most important matches of their entire season are the ones against their local rivals; the derby matches. English football has a number of these, but only the matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain have elevated themselves above mere derby status and earned their own name: ''El Clásico'' – the Classic.

|author=The Secret Footballer
|title=I Am The Secret Footballer: Lifting The Lid On The Beautiful Game
|rating=4.5
|genre=Sport
|summary=In the 2012 Olympic Games the UK delighted in the skills shown by our athletes. We were - naturally - pleased by the medals, but what impressed was the training and dedication of people who were frequently fitting what they did around the day job or study. For the most part they weren't reaping much in the way of financial rewards from what they did - but they shone. The exceptions were the footballers. I forget (and that might well be Freudian) ''exactly'' who beat us, but I doubt that there are many people pleased by the show they made. It's now the beginning of the Premier League season and ''I Am the Secret Footballer'' has arrived at the perfect moment.
