Download or read book Shot on Goal written by L.A. Witt and published by GallagherWitt. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vancouver Narwhals’ star goalie. The New York Krakens’ head coach. This can’t possibly be a recipe for disaster. Goalie Brad Spencer is flying high after his team clinches the Cup and names him their MVP. Like his teammates, he’s ready to celebrate—ideally with someone in his bed. When he slips off to a gay bar, he meets someone who’s gorgeous, willing, and… absolutely the last man he should be touching. Head coach Anthony Caruso just wants to have a few drinks and get laid to soothe the sting of his team losing the Cup. Then that ridiculously sexy player from the opposing team strolls into the club. The chemistry is instantaneous, and a mountain of PHL regulations can’t keep them apart. After all, it’s just a hookup. And then another hookup. And then a summer getaway that’s just enough time and privacy for them to get in way over their heads. When the hockey season starts up again, they walk away… but they can’t stay away. Anthony and Brad value their careers way too much to be this reckless, but they’ve both been alone for way too long to ignore these feelings. Sooner or later, though, something has to give, and one of them is going to have to choose between the man he loves and the sport he lives for. Shot on Goal, book 3 of the Pucks & Rainbows series, is approximately 100,000 words and can be read as a standalone.

Download or read book Essentials of Performance Analysis in Sport written by Mike Hughes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-12-09 with total page 493 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The coaching process is about enhancing performance by providing feedback about the performance to the athlete or team. Researchers have shown that human observation and memory are not reliable enough to provide accurate and objective information for high-performance athletes. Objective measuring tools are necessary to enable the feedback process. These can take the form of video analysis systems post-event, both biomechanical and computerised notation systems, or the use of in-event systems. Essentials of Performance Analysis in Sport 3rd Edition is fully revised with updated existing chapters and the addition of 12 new chapters. It is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to this core discipline of contemporary sport science. The book offers a full description of the fundamental theory of match and performance analysis, using real-world illustrative examples and data throughout. It also explores the applied contexts in which analysis can have a significant influence on performance. To this end the book has been defined by five sections. In Section 1 the background of performance analysis is explained and Section 2 discusses methodologies used in notating sport performance. Current issues of performance analysis applied research, such as chance, momentum theory, perturbations and dynamic systems are explored in Section 3. Profiling, the essential output skill in performance analysis, is examined in depth in Section 4. The book’s final section offers invaluable applied information on careers available for performance analysts. With extended coverage of contemporary issues in performance analysis and contributions from leading performance analysis researchers and practitioners, Essentials of Performance Analysis in Sport 3rd Edition is a complete textbook for any performance analysis course, as well as an invaluable reference for sport science or sport coaching students and researchers, and any coach, analyst or athlete looking to develop their professional insight.

Download or read book Every Shot Must Have a Purpose written by Pia Nilsson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-09-22 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two legendary coaches give golfers a powerful new approach to the game... and to life. As coaches to some of golf’s top players, Pia Nilsson and Lynn Marriott have designed and refined a revolutionary way of teaching the game, with phenomenal results. They don’t believe in prescribing the same stance, grip, and swing to everyone, followed by hours of purposeless drilling. They don’t even believe in beginning with physical technique. Their success has proven to them that a great game begins with a great vision. Unlike any other golf book, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose offers cutting-edge techniques for integrating the physical, technical, mental, emotional, and social parts of a player’s game. The book’s revolutionary pre-shot routine will improve your focus, leading to a golf swing that is not only successful but can be repeated under extreme pressure. Emphasizing the individual golfer rather than a rigid set of mechanics, their VISION54 method takes the frustration out of the game. Why 54? Because they believe it’s possible to shoot a 54 (making a birdie on every hole of a par-72 course) if you have the right mind-set and well-honed intuitive power. An engaging read for the beginner or the seasoned golfer, Every Shot Must Have a Purpose is inspiration for life, not just the links.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary Physical Education is designed to help students plan lesson objectives for motor, cognitive, affective and social domains that are linked appropriately. Throughout the text, the authors illustrate various ways to teach motivational thinking, social skills and concepts. Tasks are labeled and symbols appear in the margins of lesson plans so readers can find examples of how to teach these skills and concepts to children. Each chapter includes sample lesson plans designed to be teaching tools which will help transform the ideas discussed in the textbook. The content is presented in complete lesson plans, lesson segments, lesson and unit outlines of tasks, or descriptions of content for lessons. The lesson plans are linked to the NASPE standards and can be downloaded from the book's companion website to enable students to design lessons to meet the needs of their situations and the lesson format requirements of their programs.Overall, this is a very research oriented text. Dr. Rovegno has translated the current research on learning, motivation, perceptions of competence, constructivism, higher-order thinking skills, social responsibility and multicultural diversity into easy to understand concepts and instructional techniques. The book will reinforce and extend student's understanding of topics tested in state and national certification exams and required by state and national certification agencies, and illustrate how to integrate these concepts and instructional techniques into lesson plans.
