Book excerpt: Athletes all over the world struggle to cope with life after competitive sport. But competitive sport does not end when the clock hits zero. In fact, the game of life is just beginning, and the world is depending on you to bring your unique skillset to the table. After the Buzzer is a powerful memoir that tracks Andrew's journey with basketball far beyond the game. Andrew shares unforgettable lessons and memories not just through the metaphoric value of the game of basketball, but also from the fundamental teachings he learned from coaches, teammates, and mentors that athletes of any age can relate to. Andrew's dream was to play collegiate basketball and one day hear his name over the loudspeaker during March Madness. Though he spent hours in the gym preparing, he fell short of his initial goal. It took years for him to realize that he had actually prepared for something much bigger. For Andrew, playing basketball was temporary, but the lessons learned on the journey would guide him forever. As he transitioned into life after competitive sport, he realized the game of life was very similar to the game of basketball. And now he is sharing his journey with you so you can translate your sports skills from the court to play full out as you reach for your goals.

Download or read book The Rebounders written by Amanda Ottaway and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018-03-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the stories of most visible Division I college athletes, Amanda Ottaway's story has more in common with those of the 80 percent of college athletes who are never seen on TV. The Rebounders follows the college career of an average NCAA Division I women's basketball player in the twenty-first century, beginning with the recruiting process when Ottaway is an eager, naive teenager and ending when she's a more contemplative twentysomething alumna. Ottaway's story, along with the journeys of her dynamic Wildcat teammates at Davidson College in North Carolina, covers in engaging detail the life of a mid-major athlete: recruitment, the preseason, body image and eating disorders, schoolwork, family relationships, practice, love life, team travel, game day, injuries, drug and alcohol use, coaching changes, and what comes after the very last game. In addition to the everyday issues of being a student athlete, The Rebounders also covers the objectification of female athletes, race, sexuality, and self-expression. Most college athletes, famous or not, play hard, get hurt, fail, and triumph together in a profound love of their sport and one another, and then their careers end and they figure out how to move on. From concussions and minor injuries to classrooms, parties, and relationships, Ottaway understands the experience of a Division I women's basketball player firsthand. The Rebounders is, at its core, a feminist coming-of-age story, an exploration of what it means to be a young woman who loves a sport and is on a course of self-discovery through that medium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our lives are conducted within a dynamic, vibrant, but often challenging context of desirable, undesirable, and even threatening life experiences. A rewarding life in the face of these experiences depends on our ability to engage and maintain a sense of personal mastery as we go through life. Psychologists have uncovered some of the key principles of mastery-infused living. This book presents many examples of some of the key distinctions among our experiences in our daily living, highlighting how our well-being is centrally based on how we engage our personal mastery beliefs and actions in navigating these varied types of life experience. Studies show that mastery can be strengthened through training. A number of mastery-enhancing treatments have been developed in research and clinical practice and are presented here in an accessible format emphasizing how they can be adopted by the individual reader. These tests consistently show positive benefits for physical and mental health. Rethinking our lives and our experiences from a personal mastery template can be a key to a more successful life.
