The Mind of a Champion
The Mind of a Champion What happens when winning is no longer the ultimate goal? When titles and medals are no longer the primary motivation? In The Mind of a Champion, I share my journey of shifting my mindset—moving beyond external achievements to focus on unlocking my full potential. I constantly ask myself: How great can I become? This book is not a collection of pre-made formulas or traditional self-help theories. Instead, it offers the personal principles and mindset shifts that have shaped my career. These insights, drawn from real experiences, have propelled me forward, helping me break limits and elevate my performance. Badminton became my experiment in pushing boundaries. What will yours be? If you're looking for inspiration to challenge yourself, rethink motivation, and pursue excellence in your own way, this book is for you.
Bæstet
Mikkel Parlo var som barn en vild dreng, der ikke kunne sidde stille i skolen, kæmpede med Tourettes syndrom og havde det med at ryge i slagsmål temmelig ofte. I dag kanaliserer han al sin energi ud i Mixed Martial Arts – kampsporten, der engang blev opfattet som et bestialsk og brutalt undergrundsfænomen, men i dag regnes for verdens hurtigst voksende idrætsgren. Bæstet fortæller om Mikkel Parlos vej til Las Vegas, millioner af præmiepenge og ambitionerne om at blive verdens bedste. Samtidig er bogen en grundig introduktion til den spektakulære kampspor MMA.
Den danske drage
Som bare 23-årig vandt Viktor Axelsen verdensmesterskabet i badminton. I denne bog fortæller han om sin helt egen vej fra talentfuld ungdomsspiller til den mest succesfulde danske badmintonspiller i nyere tid. Men det har langtfra været en let og lige vej. I bogen fortæller Viktor ærligt om mislykkede kostplaner og et liv som ensom teenager. Man må gøre noget ekstraordinært for at blive ekstraordinær til sin sport, lyder hans mantra. En dag besluttede Viktor Axelsen, at han ville lære mandarin. Siden har han indtaget Kina under navnet An Sai Long – den rolige konkurrencemindede drage. Og når han møder unge kinesere på kinesisk jord, hepper publikum ikke på hjemmebanefavoritten, de hepper på Viktor. DEN DANSKE DRAGE er en ærlig og inspirerende beretning om sejre og nederlag, om et ungt menneske med enorme krav til sig selv og sine omgivelser. Om ikke at passe ind, og om at finde sin egen vej.

Early Modern European Diplomacy
New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.
Crusading at the Edges of Europe
This book is the first to compare Denmark and Portugal systematically in the High Middle Ages and demonstrates how the two countries became strong kingdoms and important powers internationally by their participation in the crusading movement. Communication in the Middle Ages was better developed than often assumed and institutions, ideas, and military technology was exchanged rapidly, meaning it was possible to coordinate great military expeditions across the geographical periphery of Western Europe. Both Denmark and Portugal were closely connected to the sea and developed strong fleets, at the entrance to the Baltic and in the Mediterranean Seas respectively. They also both had religious borders, to the pagan Wends and to the Muslims, that were pushed forward in almost continuous crusades throughout the centuries. Crusading at the Edges of Europe follows the major campaigns of the kings and crusaders in Denmark and Portugal and compares war-technology and crusading ideology, highlighting how the countries learned from each other and became organised for war.
Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050–1250, Volume II
Nordic Elites in Transformation, c. 1050-1250, Volume II explores the structures and workings of social networks within the elites of medieval Scandinavia to reveal the intricate relationship between power and status. Section one of this volume categorizes basic types of personal bonds, both vertical and horizontal, while section two charts patterns of local, regional and transnational elite networks from wide-scope, longitudinal perspectives. Finally, the third section turns to case-studies of networks in action, analyzing strategies and transactions implied by uses of social resources in specific micro-political settings. A concluding chapter discusses how social power in the North compare...
