  • Heartland A Forgotten Place An Impossible Dream From Sports Journalist Keith OBrien

    Heartland A Forgotten Place An Impossible Dream From Sports Journalist Keith OBrien
    Apr 11 2026
    From the New York Times bestselling author of Charlie Hustle and Fly Girls comes one of America's greatest sports stories: the improbable rise of Larry Bird and the Indiana State Sycamores.In the fall 1974, Larry Bird-one of the greatest players to ever pick up a basketball-was lost, and in danger of slipping away.He had dropped out of Indiana University, spurning legendary Hoosiers head coach Bobby Knight. He returned home to French Lick, a tiny town in the second poorest county in Indiana, and he got a job hauling trash.It could have ended right there for Bird, were it not for two men: Bob King, an old coach with bad knees, and Bill Hodges, a man who knew what it was like to be poor and overlooked. In the spring of 1975, during one of the darkest chapters of Bird's life, King and Hodges convinced Bird to leave French Lick and play basketball at Indiana State University, a college that couldn't even fill its arena, much less compete with Bobby Knight. Then, while no one was watching, King and Hodges built a team of players around Bird who were just like him: they were castoffs and leftovers, ready to work.Four years later, in March 1979, this unheralded team would put together one of the greatest seasons in American sports history. By the time it was over, more than 50 million people would tune in to watch the Indiana State Sycamores play in the NCAA finals against Magic Johnson and Michigan State.What happened that night would change college basketball and the NBA. Perhaps more importantly, it would change the members of this hardscrabble team, binding them together forever. In some ways, their one shining moment would never end.Drawing on exclusive, in-depth interviews with players, coaches, and staffers, New York Times bestselling author and PEN American award-winning biographer Keith O'Brien offers a stirring account of the mighty Indiana State Sycamores. With its unforgettable ensemble cast, Heartland is more than just a sports book. It's the story of a group of young men who achieved the greatest feat of all: immortality.

  • Male Athletes With Eating Disorders WTF Boxer And Author Danny O'Conner

    Male Athletes With Eating Disorders WTF Boxer And Author Danny O'Conner
    Mar 29 2026
    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.
