Book Playing in the Box  A Practical Guide for Helping Athletes Develop Their Mental Game

Download or read book Playing in the Box A Practical Guide for Helping Athletes Develop Their Mental Game written by Dr Pete Temple and published by Lioncrest Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes work hard in practice, putting in the time and the grind, but when it comes to game time, sometimes they miss the mark. They know they're capable of more-and their coaches and trainers know it, too-but when the lights are on them, and the pressure rises, they often underperform. The truth is, physical training is only one part of any athlete's game. The mental game is just as important, yet in young athletes, mindset is almost never a focus in development and practice-and it's costing them results.In Playing in the Box, renowned sports psychologist Dr. Pete Temple describes how young athletes can use simple mental exercises to relax, improve, and achieve their goals on and off the field or court. If you've ever struggled in competition, Dr. Temple's practical approach will help you develop confidence, drive, and resilience, so you can bounce back from setbacks, relax when the game gets tense, and reach your full potential.

Book The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright

Download or read book The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright written by Lisa D. Schrenk and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1898 and 1909, Frank Lloyd Wright’s residential studio in the idyllic Chicago suburb of Oak Park served as a nontraditional work setting as he matured into a leader in his field and formulized his iconic design ideology. Here, architectural historian Lisa D. Schrenk breaks the myth of Wright as the lone genius and reveals new insights into his early career. With a rich narrative voice and meticulous detail, Schrenk tracks the practice’s evolution: addressing how the studio fit into the Chicago-area design scene; identifying other architects working there and their contributions; and exploring how the suburban setting and the nearby presence of Wright’s family influenced office life. Built as an addition to his 1889 shingle-style home, Wright’s studio was a core site for the ideological development of the prairie house, one of the first truly American forms of residential architecture. Schrenk documents the educational atmosphere of Wright’s office in the context of his developing design ideology, revealing three phases as he transitioned from colleague to leader. This heavily illustrated book includes a detailed discussion of the physical changes Wright made to the building and how they informed his architectural thinking and educational practices. Schrenk also addresses the later transformations of the building, including into an art center in the 1930s, its restoration in the 1970s and 80s, and its current use as a historic house museum. Based on significant original and archival research, including interviews with Wright’s family and others involved in the studio and 180 images, The Oak Park Studio of Frank Lloyd Wright offers the first comprehensive look at the early independent office of one of the world’s most influential architects.
