What happens when the identity you’ve built your life around suddenly disappears?That’s the heart of Changing Cadence: Friendship, Football and the Art of Transition—a compelling story that blends memoir and fiction to explore reinvention, aging, and unexpected connection.Author Andra Douglas—a Hall of Fame women’s tackle football quarterback and longtime team owner—draws from her own life to tell parallel stories: a New York athlete facing the end of her career, and her mother navigating life in an assisted living community. When these two worlds collide, a group of small-town seniors becomes unlikely superfans of one final football season.

In Weight Class: A Fighter’s Life-or-Death Battle with an Eating Disorder (Bite Like A Man; February 17, 2026), former Olympic boxer and professional champion Danny O’Connor delivers a searing, deeply personal memoir that confronts one of sport’s most overlooked crises: eating disorders in male athletes. From high school wrestling to the 2008 U.S. Olympic Boxing Team and a decade-long professional career, O’Connor lived in a world where extreme weight-cutting—starvation, dehydration, purging and physical collapse—was common practice. What began as discipline slowly became self-destruction, culminating in a public failure to make weight for a world title fight and a private medical emergency that nearly cost him his life. Told with unflinching honesty, Weight Class traces O’Connor’s 20-year battle with an eating disorder fought largely in silence—hidden from coaches, fans and even family. His story challenges the misconception that eating disorders are a “female issue” and exposes how weight-regulated sports can reinforce dangerous behaviors when education and early intervention are absent. More than a sports memoir, Weight Class is a powerful account of survival and recovery. O’Connor examines the physical, mental and emotional toll of life on the scale, while also documenting the long, difficult work of reclaiming health, identity and purpose beyond competition. For parents, coaches and athletes entering weight-class sports, Weight Class serves as a necessary warning. For the millions of men and women struggling with eating disorders in silence, it offers something rarer: recognition, understanding and hope.Since retiring from professional boxing, Danny has become a leading advocate for awareness of eating disorders among men and athletes worldwide.

The world of professional wrestling is paradoxical. Storylines are intricately plotted by creative writers, refined by the agents and the wrestlers the day of the match, and performed live in front of worldwide audiences to evoke drama and emotion. It's scripted: it's "fake." Yet, more often than not, it is the real-life backstage machinations, the behind-the-scenes tales of drama and deceit, of pettiness between allies and adversaries, that feel as though they were actually penned by Hollywood's finest scriptwriters.David Sahadi's Backstage Pass is a firsthand account of what occurs beyond the squared circle - stories that are often more compelling and dramatic than anything that occurs on TV or inside a ring. These never-before-told stories are glorious, nefarious, and at times truly unbelievable: five-star mega-bouts between the powers that rule, the leaders and decision-makers who are often in agreement (but mostly at odds), and the superstars themselves.This book is a tale of defiance, decadence, and denial - and you do not have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.
