Download or read book Why Football Matters written by Mark Edmundson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-09-04 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acclaimed essayist Mark Edmundson reflects on his own rite of passage as a high school football player to get to larger truths about the ways America's Game shapes its men Football teaches young men self-discipline and teamwork. But football celebrates violence. Football is a showcase for athletic beauty and physical excellence. But football damages young bodies and minds, sometimes permanently. Football inspires confidence and direction. But football instills cockiness, a false sense of superiority. The athlete is a noble figure with a proud lineage. The jock is America at its worst. When Mark Edmundson’s son began to play organized football, and proved to be very good at it, Edmundson had to come to terms with just what he thought about the game. Doing so took him back to his own childhood, when as a shy, soft boy growing up in a blue-collar Boston suburb in the sixties, he went out for the high school football team. Why Football Matters is the story of what happened to Edmundson when he tried to make himself into a football player. What does it mean to be a football player? At first Edmundson was hapless on the field. He was an inept player and a bad teammate. But over time, he got over his fears and he got tougher. He learned to be a better player and came to feel a part of the team, during games but also on all sorts of escapades, not all of them savory. By playing football, Edmundson became what he and his father hoped he’d be, a tougher, stronger young man, better prepared for life. But is football-instilled toughness always a good thing? Do the character, courage, and loyalty football instills have a dark side? Football, Edmundson found, can be full of bounties. But it can also lead you into brutality and thoughtlessness. So how do you get what’s best from the game and leave the worst behind? Why Football Matters is moving, funny, vivid, and filled with the authentic anxiety and exhilaration of youth. Edmundson doesn’t regret playing football for a minute, and cherishes the experience. His triumph is to be able to see it in full, as something to celebrate, but also something to handle with care. For anyone who has ever played on a football team, is the parent of a player, or simply is reflective about its outsized influence on America, Why Football Matters is both a mirror and a lamp.

Download or read book The New Theory of Confidence written by Elaine Sihera and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-19 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elaine Sihera's New Theory of Confidence©, developed over the past 20 year, is based on hundreds of confidence quiz analyses together with the results of a more recent online survey of hundreds more. Dr. Sihera takes a familiar, but highly misunderstood term, and explains it in a simple way that allows anyone to understand themselves and their routine behaviours, especially how much their level of confidence dominates how they see the world, react to it, and affects their treatment of others. She deftly demonstrates the origins of Confidence, how it is boosted, maintained, and lost; how routine habits actually reduce, or increase, its level, and its true power over self-esteem. Gradually, and with numerous examples, she skilfully reveals how Confidence profoundly influences everything we do, even without us realising it.There is something for everyone among the pages, including:* The three key drivers that maintain, and destroy, Confidence;* The importance of childhood experience, and subsequent relationships, in the development of Confidence;* How Confidence mirrors self-esteem;* The strong influence of Confidence on personal achievement; * When, and how, we actually lose Confidence;* Why the usual confidence tips that focus mainly on 'positive thinking', and changing specific actions, won't really help;* The quiet way Confidence controls intimate relationships, and gradually obstructs them;* How negative perception, and striving for perfection, can damage Confidence permanently. Readers will also learn about the crucial role confidence plays in personal perception, assertiveness, achievements and success, and in the quality of relationships,, as reflected in personal decisions, choices, and the language they use. By the end of the book, readers can expect a deeper understanding of the nature of confidence and should feel more knowledgeable and empowered to apply it beneficially to their own lives. There are also three self-assessment quizzes and a summary of the latest online Confidence survey analysis.Not a book to be missed!
