The First Beep: Majuu Was Never Waiting
Butwaa is learning to move through a world that does not always slow down for him.
From a Maasai village on the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro to crowded stations in London and unfamiliar places in Manchester, every sign, every instruction, and every journey becomes something to decode. With guidance from Lily, and later Kofi, he begins to understand that progress is not only about arriving, it is about learning how to move.
At school, a simple assignment about hobbies and the environment grows into something much bigger. Football becomes more than a game. Geography becomes more than maps. Life skills begin to take shape through questions that do not have simple answers.
As Butwaa steps into a new academy and new expectations, he discovers that learning is not only about intelligence or talent but about patience, observation, and the courage to keep asking questions.
The First Beep: Majuu Was Never Waiting is a coming-of-age story about adaptation, learning, and finding direction in unfamiliar spaces. It is about the quiet moments where understanding begins, and the spaces between instruction and independence.

CHAINED by Esse Akida
Esse Akida is best known as Kenya’s first woman footballer to score in the Africa Women's Cup of Nations (AWCON). But behind the successful and gritty football persona, is a remarkable story of hard work, resilience and a never-say-die attitude.
In this brutally honest and inspirational memoir, Esse shares what it was like to grow up in an environment dictated by cultural beliefs, being the only girl in a family of boys and having to pursue football against the wishes of her parents.
She shares stories of sabotage. From simply not honouring a national team call-up due to Football Kenya Federation’s lack of plan and wanting to return home after being racially abused in Europe.
But Esse never gave up, even when it meant playing out of position as witnessed in her stint in Israel. She went on to become a top scorer in Greece, was named the best foreign footballer in that country and was recognized in her County, Kilifi, as the Heroine of the Year.
This engaging and insightful book welcomes the reader to the world of Esse Akida which hasn’t been shared with the public before.
The Mixer: The Story of Premier Leagu...
An absolutely essential book for every modern football fan, about the development of Premier League tactics, published to coincide with 25 years of the competition.
Back in 1992, English football was stuck in the dark ages, emerging from a five-year ban from European competition. The game was physical, bruising and attritional, based on strength over speed, aggression over finesse. It was the era of the midfield general, reducers, big men up front and getting it in the mixer; 4-4-2 was the order of the day. Few teams experimented tactically.
And then, almost overnight, it all changed. The creation of the Premier League coincided with one of the most seismic rule changes in football history: the abolition of the back-pass. Suddenly defenders had no-get-out-of-jail-free card, goalkeepers had to be able to field and play the ball and the pace of the game quickened immeasurably. Tactics evolved dramatically, helped by an increased foreign influence.
The Mixer is the first book to delve deep into the tactical story of the Premier League, and take a long view of how the game has developed over the last quarter century. From Ferguson’s directness to Keegan’s relentlessly attacking Newcastle outfit, to Mourinho’s cagey, reactive Chelsea, all the way to Ranieri’s counter-attacking champions, The Mixer is one of the most entertaining, rich and knowledgeable football books ever written.

Quiet Leadership: Winning Hearts, Min...
The legendary football coach finally tells his story and reveals his management secrets
Carlo Ancelotti is one of the greatest managers of all time. With three Champions League trophies, and multiple league and cup titles from AC Milan to Chelsea to Real Madrid, his record is second to none.
Yet Ancelotti's managerial approach could not be further from the aggressive theatricals favoured by many of his rivals. Rather than imposing his will on superstar players, he builds team cultures through the relationships he develops - he allows talent to flourish. His understated style has earned him the fierce loyalty of the likes of David Beckham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In Quiet Leadership, Ancelotti reveals the full, riveting story of his managerial career - his methods, mentors, mistakes and greatest triumphs. He takes us right inside the dressing room to trace the characters, challenges and decisions that have shaped him. The result is both a scintillating memoir and a rare insight into the business of leadership.
Ebalu Superstar by Roy Gachuhi
Timo Ebalu is a football prodigy. At only 17, he gets a call-up to the Kenya national football team, the Elephants of the Mara. He instantly becomes for the country what he has been for his high school team – a one-man goal scoring machine.
But Ebalu has a monumental battle on his hands – that with his parents. They frown on football, or any sport, as a career and won’t settle for anything but academic excellence.
Unfortunately, Ebalu, unlike his whiz siblings, is poor in academics. His life at home becomes unbearable just as his football career soars to the stratosphere. The collision between two seemingly irreconcilable positions is epic.

In the wake of his retirement from professional basketball, Kobe “The Black Mamba” Bryant decided to share his vast knowledge and understanding of the game to take readers on an unprecedented journey to the core of the legendary “Mamba mentality.” Citing an obligation and an opportunity to teach young players, hardcore fans, and devoted students of the game how to play it “the right way,” The Mamba Mentality takes us inside the mind of one of the most intelligent, analytical, and creative basketball players ever.
In his own words, Bryant reveals his famously detailed approach and the steps he took to prepare mentally and physically to not just succeed at the game, but to excel.

They’ll also get fascinating granular detail as he breaks down specific plays and match-ups from throughout his career.

Brief Summary
The gripping biography of one of the most successful managers in the game, José Mourinho, giving a rare insight into Mourinho the man as well as Mourinho the manager.
José Mourinho is undoubtedly one of the most charismatic and controversial characters in football today. Never far away from the headlines, it is the drama surrounding him as much as his many successes that make him such a fascinating figure.
Having worked at some of the biggest clubs in the world – Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester United – Mourinho knows how to deliver when it matters. Leaving trophy cabinets bursting wherever he’s been, he has a claim on being the greatest manager in his sport. But is the way he conducts himself on the touchline and in front of the cameras the real José Mourinho, or an act he puts on for the watching world?
Author Robert Beasley has followed Mourinho’s career closely since his arrival on the English football scene in 2004. An award-winning sports correspondent, Beasley has been the one person granted privileged access to the Special One’s inner sanctum, and he found there a man few ever get to know – let alone get to call a friend.
This is the story of José Mourinho, up close and personal. Delving into the workings of the famed manager’s mind, as well as the backroom antics and transfer sagas at the game’s greatest clubs, we see the world from José’s point of view. Revealing the untold stories behind how close Mourinho came to getting the England and Tottenham jobs and his sometimes tumultuous relationships with the likes of Roman Abramovich, Rafael Benítez and Arsenal boss Arsène Wenger, and why he will always put family and friends before football, this is a side to José Mourinho you never thought you’d see.
