Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, the first book to document how participating in sports changes young girls' lives during the difficult years of adolescence. From high-profile women's professional leagues to high-school-level champions, girl athletes are acheiving record breakthroughs. Witness, for example, the first spectacular season of the WNBA, or the celebrated victories of women's teams at the 1996 Olympics. The female athlete is a new media darling especially beloved of today's teenage girls, who are almost as likely to have pictures of Rebecca Lobo, Mia Hamm, or Gabrielle Reece on their walls as posters of Leonardo DiCaprio. So it seems paradoxical that many books and studies attest to a truly sobering picture of girls' lives. With her book Reviving Ophelia, Mary Pipher was only the latest in a string of theorists to describe the dramatic ways in which girls loose self-esteem during the critical years of adolescence, contributing to eating disorders, drug problems, and chronic depression in many young women. In Raising Our Athletic Daughters, journalists Zimmerman and Reavill set out to talk with girls and their parents about how sports can transform girls' lives. Here are firsthand stories from the inner cities and rural playing fields across the nation, offering compelling evidence that participation in athletics makes an extraordinary difference in the lives of young girls, from reducing pregnancy rates and substance abuse to increasing college attendance. Raising Our Athletic Daughters is a clarion call for all those eager to help their children succeed and level the playing field, at last.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's western society young women are faced with enormous pressure to be thin and this is linked to high rates of body dissatisfaction, especially among adolescents. A positive body image and self-esteem are two important protective factors against the development of eating disorders. Sports participation has been considered by some to lead to higher levels of self-esteem and a more positive body image. However, research focusing on adolescents remains limited and inconclusive. The current study examined the impact of sports participation on the self-esteem and body image of high school females (n = 50) participating in sports at a recreational level. The impact of participation in extracurricular activities was explored as well. Results indicated that sports participation was correlated with more positive feelings about one's physical appearance as well as overall self-esteem. Participation in extracurricular activities in general was not related to body image or self-esteem. Regression analyses indicated that participation in sports outside of school was the best predictor of overall self-esteem. In this sample, all of the adolescents who participated in sports outside of school also participated in sports at school, suggesting that they benefited from this increase in participation. Given that participation in extracurricular activities was not linked to body image or self-esteem, it appears that participation in sports provides unique benefits for these young females. This study adds to the limited existing literature exploring the impact of recreational sports participation for female adolescents and supports the theory that sports may provide a protective factor for these young women.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling an important gap in performance analysis literature, this book introduces the key concepts and practical applications of performance analysis for team sports. It draws on cutting-edge research to examine individual and collective behaviours across an array of international team sports. Evidencing the close relationship between coaching and performance analysis, it promotes a better understanding of the crucial role of performance analysis in team sports for achieving successful results. This book not only presents a variety of different ways to analyse performance in team sports, but also demonstrates how scientific data can be used to enrich performance analysis. Part one delineates the main guidelines for research in performance analysis, discussing the characteristics of team sports, coaching processes, variables characterizing performance and methods for team member interaction analysis. Part two drills down into performance analysis across a range of team sports including soccer, basketball, handball, ice hockey, volleyball and rugby. Performance Analysis in Team Sports is an essential companion for any course or research project on sports performance analysis or sports coaching, and an invaluable reference for professional analysts.
