Running Is My Therapy: Relieve Stress And Anxiety, Fight Depression, And Live Happier
Par Scott Douglas. 2018
A lifelong runner’s groundbreaking guide to fighting depression and anxiety, one run at a time Everyone knows that running builds…
stronger muscles and a healthier heart. In Running Is My Therapy, longtime runner Scott Douglas shows how endurance running is also the best form of exercise to develop a healthier brain. A natural antidepressant, running reinforces the benefits of therapy and triggers lasting, positive physiological changes. In fact, some doctors now “prescribe” a running regimen as part of their first-line treatment plan for depression. Marshaling expert advice and a growing body of research, Douglas explains how we can all use running to improve mental health—and live happier.The Real Hoosiers: Crispus Attucks High School, Oscar Robertson, and the Hidden History of Hoops
Par Jack McCallum. 2024
The true story behind Crispus Attucks High School and the all-Black basketball team loosely depicted as the championship opponent in…
the beloved classic sports movie Hoosiers. For far too long the mythology of Indiana basketball has been dominated by Hoosiers. Framed as the ultimate underdog, feel-good story, there has also long been a cultural debate surrounding the film. The Real Hoosiers sets out to illuminate the narrative that the film omits, the story of the unheralded Crispus Attucks Tigers, playing the game at the highest level in the 1950s in a racially divided Indiana. After a crushing loss to Milan High School in the 1954 semifinal, which was the game that the final scenes in Hoosiers are based on, Attucks went on to win back-to-back Indiana state championships. That team was led by a young Oscar Robertson and coached by Ray Crowe, who fully recognized the seemingly insurmountable challenges of playing basketball in a state that was a bastion for not only the game but also the Ku Klux Klan. Veteran sportswriter and the bestselling author of Dream Team, Jack McCallum, pulls back the curtain on that history, which is rich, far beyond the basketball court. The Real Hoosiers replaces a lacuna in the history of Indiana while dissecting the myths and lore of Hoosier hoops; placing the game in the context of migration, segregation, and integration; and enhancing our understanding of this country&’s struggle for civil rights.Fifty More Places to Fly Fish Before You Die is the latest offering in the bestselling Fifty Places series.

Gorgeous photography showcases the beauty of these destinations, and the “If You Go” section enables readers to embark on the fishing trips themselves.Dieses Buch stellt dar, wie hilfreich Bewegung und Sport bei Krankheiten sein kann, wie die Lebensqualität von Patienten gesteigert wird…

Par Jörg Bencker, Patric Böhle, Philipp Schwethelm. 2018
Erfolgreich im Sport, die Finanzen im Griff, nach der Profilaufbahn festen Boden unter den Füßen: „Profi sein - nicht nur…
im Sport“. Erstmalig liegt mit diesem Buch ein praxisorientierter Ratgeber vor, der allen Profi- und Spitzensportlern dabei hilft, kluge Entscheidungen beim Aufbau ihrer Karriere und beim Umgang mit ihren Finanzen zu treffen. Hart trainieren, viel Geld verdienen - doch nach der Sportkarriere trotz Millionenverträgen pleite und ohne Ausbildung? Das Schicksal, das viele berühmte Sportgrößen und unbekanntere Profisportler miteinander teilen, muss nicht sein. Dieses Buch präsentiert einen dreiteiligen Leitfaden für den Sportprofi: 1. Die Planung der sportlichen Laufbahn und die Weichenstellung bei der beruflichen Vorbereitung auf die Zeit nach dem Karriereende.2. Den strategischen Vermögensaufbau und die bestmögliche finanzielle Absicherung.3. Die Bedeutung des Steuerrechts und das rechtzeitige Erkennen der Stolpersteine.Finanzexperte Jörg Bencker, Steuerspezialist Patric Böhle und Basketballprofi Philipp Schwethelm haben die wichtigsten Themen gemeinsam durchgespielt und praxisnah für den Leser zusammengefasst. Sie zeigen auf, welche Gründe einen erfolgreichen Spitzensportler in den Ruin führen können und worauf der Profisportler achten muss, um rechtzeitig die Weichen für ein attraktives Leben nach der Karriere zu stellen. Dabei nehmen die drei Autoren alle Beteiligten mit aufs Spielfeld, den Profi und Jungsportler genauso wie den Trainer, den Sportlerberater, den Vereinsmanager, die Familie, die Freundin, den Partner und den Sportfan.Die Kapitel sind kurz, unterhaltsam und leicht verständlich geschrieben, gewürzt mit Tipps und Tricks und einem guten Schuss Humor. Eine interessante Lektüre, die den Leser nicht nur grundlegend informiert, sondern auch zum Staunen und Schmunzeln bringt. Frank Buschmann (Fernsehmoderator, Sportreporter und ehemaliger Basketballspieler) zum Buch: "Der Beruf Profisportler kann so wunderbar, so erfolgreich verlaufen. Er ist aber auch knüppelhart und kann ganz schnell vorbei sein. Als ich gesehen habe, dass dieses Buch ein wichtiger Anstoß, aber auch eine große Hilfe für Sportler ist, da habe ich spontan gedacht: Das sollten viele Sportler, ihre Familien und vielleicht ja auch ihre Berater mal in aller Ruhe lesen ...ratatataaa".Sport, Protest and Globalisation: Stopping Play (Global Culture and Sport Series)
Par Jon Dart and Stephen Wagg. 2016
This volume is built around three assumptions - first, that for huge numbers people around the world, including many sport…
lovers, there are more important things in life than sport; second, that the governance of sport is in many ways problematic and needs to be confronted; and, third, that contrary to the still-popular belief that sport and politics don't mix, sport often provides an ideal theatre for the enacting of political protest. The book contains studies of a range of protests, stretching back to the death of suffragist Emily Davison at the Derby of 1913 and encompassing subsequent protests against the exclusion of women from the sporting arena; the Berlin Olympics of 1936; Western imperialism; the Mexico Olympics, 1968; the state racism of apartheid in South Africa; the effect of the global golf industry on ecosystems; Israeli government policy; resistance to the various attempts to bring the Olympic Games to Canadian and American cities; the cutting of welfare benefits for disabled British citizens; class privilege in the UK; Russian anti-gay laws; and high public spending on sport mega-events in Brazil. The collection will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in Sports Studies, History, Politics, Geography, Cultural Studies and Sociology.Mind Match Fußball: Wie mentale Faktoren über die letzten Prozente entscheiden
Par Daniel Memmert, Bernd Strauss, Daniel Theweleit. 2022
Enge Fußballspiele und knappe Titelkämpfe werden nur selten durch technische Fähigkeiten von Spielern oder taktische Maßnahmen ihrer Trainer entschieden. Die…
bedeutsamsten Impulse kommen aus einem Bereich, der oft erwähnt wird, aber nur schwer greifbar ist: Große Champions sprechen nach besonderen Siegen eher über mentale Stärken, Persönlichkeitsmerkmale und den Zusammenhalt in ihren Teams. Dieses Buch beschreibt anhand aktueller wissenschaftlicher Kenntnisse und durch viele Beispiele illustriert die mentalen und kognitiven Prozesse, die über Sieg und Niederlage im Fußball entscheiden. Interviews mit Trainern wie Ralf Rangnick, Ottmar Hitzfeld und Christian Streich, Sportmanagern wie Fredi Bobic und ehemaligen Spielern wie Matthias Sammer ergänzen diese Erkenntnisse aus der Wissenschaft in Interviews über wegweisende Momente und prägende Erfahrungen in ihren Karrieren. Es geht um Phänomene wie den Heimvorteil, Kreativität, emotionale Extremsituationen, die Grenzen der Wahrnehmung, gruppendynamische Prozesse, moderne Führung und Mythen des Spiels, die sich oft widerlegen lassen. Für jeden Fußballinteressierten wird so schnell ersichtlich, welche Phänomene tatsächlich spielentscheidend sein können und welche nicht.Ringmaster: Vince McMahon and the Unmaking of America
Par Abraham Josephine Riesman. 2023
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER NPR&’s 2023 Books We Love &“Riveting, essential reading.&” —Rick Perlstein, author of Reaganland The definitive…
biography of Vince McMahon, former WWE chairman and CEO, charts his rise from rural poverty to the throne of one of the world&’s most influential media empires—and features never-before-seen research and exclusive interviews with more than 150 people who witnessed, aided, and suffered from his ascent.Even if you&’ve never watched a minute of professional wrestling, you are living in Vince McMahon&’s world. In his four decades as the defining figure of American pro wrestling, McMahon was the man behind Dwayne &“The Rock&” Johnson, &“Stone Cold&” Steve Austin, John Cena, Dave Bautista, Bret &“The Hitman&” Hart, and Hulk Hogan, to name just a few of the mega-stars who owe him their careers. For more than twenty-five years, he has also been a performer in his own show, acting as the diabolical &“Mr. McMahon&”—a figure who may have more in common with the real Vince than he would care to admit. Just as importantly, McMahon is one of Donald Trump&’s closest friends—and Trump&’s experiences as a performer in McMahon&’s programming were, in many ways, a dress rehearsal for the 45th President&’s campaigns and presidency. McMahon and his wife, Linda, are major Republican donors. Linda was in Trump&’s cabinet. McMahon makes deals with the Saudi government worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And for generations of people who have watched wrestling, he has been a defining cultural force. Accessible to anyone, regardless of wrestling knowledge, Ringmaster is an unauthorized, independent, investigative chronicle of Vince McMahon&’s origins and rise to supreme power. It is built on exclusive interviews with more than 150 people, from McMahon&’s childhood friends to those who accuse him of destroying their lives. Far more than just an athletics or entertainment biography, Ringmaster uses Vince&’s story as a new lens for understanding the contemporary American apocalypse.SOLO: What running across mountains taught me about life
Par Jenny Tough. 2022
'Jenny Tough writes with the same talent, imagination, and sheer courage that she displays in her athletic endeavours. This book…
will broaden the horizons of all who venture between its covers.' - Emily Chappell, author of Where There's a Will'I love that SOLO is part-self help and part adventure story. Jenny shows us all that the journey to self-belief comes with just as many ups and downs as the mountains she traverses and that, with a little trust in ourselves (and a few good cups of coffee) the next seemingly insurmountable pass is never beyond our reach.' - Anna McNuff, author of Bedtime Adventure Stories for Grown UpsJenny Tough is an endurance athlete who's best known for running and cycling in some of world's most challenging events - achieving accolades that are an inspiration to outdoor adventurers everywhere. But SOLO tells the story of a much more personal project: Jenny's quest to come to terms with feelings and emotions that were holding her back. Like runners at any level, she knew already that running made her feel better, and like so many of us, she knew that completing goals independently was empowering, too. So she set herself an audacious objective: to run - solo, unsupported, on her own - across mountain ranges on six continents, starting with one of the most remote locations on Earth in Kyrgystan. SOLO chronicles Jenny's journey every step of the way across the Tien Shan (Asia), the High Atlas (Africa), the Bolivian Andes (South America), the Southern Alps (Oceania), the Canadian Rockies (North America) and the Transylvanian Alps (Europe), as she learns lessons in self-esteem, resilience, bravery and so much more. What Jenny's story tells us most of all is that setting out to do things solo - whether the ambitious or the everyday - can be invigorating, encouraging and joyful. And her call to action to find strength, confidence and self-belief in everything we do will inspire and motivate.Moon Puerto Vallarta: Getaways, Beaches & Surfing, Local Flavors (Travel Guide)

Par Charles Wilkinson. 2000
In 1974 Federal Judge George H. Boldt issued one of the most sweeping rulings in the history of the Pacific…
Northwest, affirming the treaty rights of Northwest tribal fishermen and allocating to them 50 percent of the harvestable catch of salmon and steelhead. Among the Indians testifying in Judge Boldt’s courtroom were Nisqually tribal leader Billy Frank, Jr., and his 95-year-old father, whose six acres along the Nisqually River, known as Frank’s Landing, had been targeted for years by state game wardens in the so-called Fish Wars. By the 1960s the Landing had become a focal point for the assertion of tribal treaty rights in the Northwest. It also lay at the moral center of the tribal sovereignty movement nationally. The confrontations at the Landing hit the news and caught the conscience of many. Like the schoolhouse steps at Little Rock or the bridge at Selma, Frank’s Landing came to signify a threshold for change, and Billy Frank, Jr., became a leading architect of consensus, a role he continues today as one of the most colorful and accomplished figures in the modern history of the Pacific Northwest. In Messages from Frank’s Landing, Charles Wilkinson explores the broad historical, legal, and social context of Indian fishing rights in the Pacific Northwest, providing a dramatic account of the people and issues involved. He draws on his own decades of experience as a lawyer working with Indian people, and focuses throughout on Billy Frank and the river flowing past Frank’s Landing. In all aspects of Frank’s life as an activist, from legal settlements negotiated over salmon habitats destroyed by hydroelectric plants, to successful negotiations with the U.S. Army for environmental protection of tribal lands, Wilkinson points up the significance of the traditional Indian world view - the powerful and direct legacy of Frank’s father, conveyed through generations of Indian people who have crafted a practical working philosophy and a way of life. Drawing on many hours spent talking and laughing with Billy Frank while canoeing the Nisqually watershed, Wilkinson conveys words of respect and responsibility for the earth we inhabit and for the diverse communities the world encompasses. These are the messages from Frank’s Landing. Wilkinson brings welcome clarity to complex legal issues, deepening our insight into a turbulent period in the political and environmental history of the Northwest.The Power of Mindfulness: Mindfulness Meditation Training in Sport (MMTS)
Par Amy Baltzell, Joshua Summers. 2017
This book offers both sport psychology practitioners and sport athletes a clear understanding of mindfulness to help athletes optimize sport…
performance. It provides a clear insight how sport athletes can learn to increase their ability to concentrate, be fully present during high pressure competition and how to effectively respond to distracting thoughts and emotions (e.g. performance anxiety; dread).

MMTS has been adopted internationally by practicing sport psychologists – used with collegiate, club, and Olympic teams. Through offering a clear explanation of mindfulness and self-compassion (an essential element of MMTS), brief mindfulness based practices, and consistently offering how such practices link to performance – the reader learns to implement all of MMTS or elements of MMTS to help the increase their ability to focus, cope with difficult emotions, and perform their best when it matters.The Formula: How Rogues, Geniuses, and Speed Freaks Reengineered F1 into the World's Fastest-Growing Sport
Par Joshua Robinson, Jonathan Clegg. 2024
Wall Street Journal reporters and authors of The Club, Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the riveting saga of how…
Formula 1 broke through in America, detailing the eclectic culture of racing obsessives, glamorous settings, gearheads, engineering geniuses, dashing racers, and bitter rivalries that have made F1 the world’s fastest growing sport. For decades in America, car racing meant NASCAR, and to a lesser extent IndyCar, with Formula 1—the wealthiest racing league in the world—a distant third. Fast forward to 2023, and F1 has emerged at the front of the pack powered by a passionate yet nascent American fanbase. The F1 juggernaut has arrived, but this checkered flag was far from inevitable.In The Formula, Wall Street Journal reporters Joshua Robinson and Jonathan Clegg tell the epic story of how F1 saved itself from collapse and finally conquered America through guile, fearlessness, and above all, reinvention. With fast cars, big money, glamorous locales, and beautiful people as the backdrop, The Formula reveals how F1’s sudden arrival in the US was actually decades in the making, a product of the sport’s near-constant state of transformation and experimentation. Bringing unique insight and access to F1’s most storied teams and personalities—from Ferrari to Bernie Ecclestone to Christian Horner to Lewis Hamilton—The Formula offers a riveting portrait of the drivers, corporations, cars, rivalries, and audacious gambles that have shaped the sport for half a century.The end result is a high-octane history of how modern F1 racing came to be—the first book to tell the story of the outrageous successes and spectacular crashes that led F1 to this extraordinary yet precarious moment. More than just a sports story, The Formula is the tale of a disrupter that broke into the crowded American sports marketplace and claimed its place through cash, personality, and a new understanding of what a sport needs to be in the age of wall-to-wall entertainment.Women in Action Sport Cultures: Identity, Politics and Experience (Global Culture and Sport Series)
Par Holly Thorpe and Rebecca Olive. 2016
Young, white men have dominated action sports for many years, yet women have refused to accept positions on the margins…
of these unique sporting cultures. Developing in a different context to many traditional sports, girls and women have adopted highly proactive approaches and developed unique strategies to negotiate space alongside their male peers in the waves, skate parks and cityscapes, on mountains and climbing walls, along trails, as well as around rinks. This international collection features contributions from a group of leading and emerging researchers, many of whom are passionate action sport participants themselves. With authors representing a range of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives including cultural studies, sociology, performance studies, media studies, sport for development, and education, this book offers the first collective focus on women in action sports cultures in the past, present and into the future. Ultimately, the book offers a vivid and powerful illustration of the new and ongoing struggles facing women in contemporary sporting cultures, as well as the various strands of activism, agency and politics being performed in the surf, on the slopes, and at the crag. The book will be of interest to students and scholars in the fields of sociology of sport and physical culture, gender studies, youth cultures, sport history, and pedagogy and education.The Battle for the High Street: Retail Gentrification, Class and Disgust
Par Phil Hubbard. 2017
This book analyses the social and cultural status of high streets in the age of recession and austerity. High streets…
are shown to have long been regarded as the heart of many communities, but have declined to a state where boarded-up and vacant retail units are a familiar sight in many British cities. The book argues that the policies deemed necessary to revive the fortunes of high streets are often thinly-veiled attacks on the tastes and cultures of the working class. Policy-makers often promote boutiques, art galleries and upmarket cafés at the expense of some of the outlets frequented by less affluent populations, including betting shops, fast food takeaways, discount stores and bargain booze outlets. Highlighting the social and cultural roles that so-called 'dying' high streets continue to play in the lives of working class and disadvantaged populations, this book provides a powerful argument against retail gentrification, and a timely analysis of class conflict in austerity Britain. It will be of great interest to scholars of geography, social policy and cultural studies.Screen Society
Par Ellis Cashmore, Jamie Cleland, Kevin Dixon. 2018
Screens have been with us since the eighteenth century, though we became accustomed to staring at them only after the…
appearance of film and television in the twentieth century. But there was nothing in film or TV that prepared us for the revolution wrought by the combination of screens and the internet. Society has been transformed and this book asks how and with what consequences?Screen Society’s conclusions are based on an original research project conducted by scholars in the UK and Australia. The researchers designed their own research platform and elicited the thoughts and opinions of nearly 2000 participants, to draw together insights of today’s society as seen by users of smartphones, tablets and computers – what the authors call Screenagers. The book issues challenges to accepted wisdom on many of the so-called problems associated with our persistent use of screen devices, including screen addiction, trolling, gaming and gambling.An Introduction to Performance Analysis of Sport (Routledge Studies in Sports Performance Analysis)

Par Mark Dyreson. 1998
Sport dominates television and the mass media. Politics and business are a-bustle with sports metaphors. Endorsements by athletes sell us…
products. "Home run," "slam dunk," and the rest of the vocabulary of sport color daily conversation. Even in times of crisis and emergency, the media reports the scores and highlights. Marky Dyreson delves into how our obsession with sport came into being with a close look at coverage of the Olympic Games between 1896 and 1912. How people reported and consumed information on the Olympics offers insight into how sport entered the heart of American culture as part of an impetus for social reform. Political leaders came to believe in the power of sport to revitalize the "republican experiment." Sport could instill a new sense of national identity that would forge a new sense of community and a healthy political order while at the same time linking America's intellectual and power elite with the experiences of the masses.Let's Learn to Fish!: Everything You Need to Know to Start Freshwater Fishing
