Book excerpt: “We went about our daily lives as normally as possible but when it came down to the fighting, we maintained our quiet yet tenacious determination.” And so begins the tragic but inspiring saga of 12-year-old Darah Joseph, a top-flight competitive athlete who developed Ewing Sarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer that afflicts children and young adults. Her brave and positive outlook carried her through multiple chemotherapy rounds, an amputation and then back into athletics and training for the Paralympics. This gripping and emotional memoir, written by Darah’s mother, chronicles a painful and very courageous two-year journey that ended in physical death while opening a door to the spirit world in the afterlife. Darah’s mother writes, “there are no coincidences.” As family and friends opened their hearts to Darah’s spiritual presence, her spirit gives clear and loving signs — including dozens of feathers — that she is at peace in a good place. If you’ve ever wondered about the afterlife and whether there is one, Darah’s story will make you a warmly assured believer.

Book excerpt: Many observers have pointed out what is wrong with youth sport: an emphasis on winning at all costs; parental over-involvement; high participation costs that exclude many families; lack of vigorous physical activity; lack of player engagement; and no focus on development. Currently, most attempts at righting the wrongs of youth sport have focused on coach education and curriculum, but in this book, the authors offer a different approach—one that involves changing the game itself. Re-Designing Youth Sport combines vivid examples and case studies of innovative sport programs who are re-designing their sport with a comprehensive toolkit for practitioners on how to change their game for bigger and better outcomes. It offers a fresh and exciting perspective on the seemingly intractable issues in sport. It presents a practical and empowering pathway for readers to apply the examples and tools to the outcomes that they aspire to achieve in their sport, such as increased fun and excitement, life-skills building, gender inclusion, increased sportspersonship, greater parity and avoidance of one-sided competition, and positive parental roles. The book also reveals how community leagues as well as national and international sport governing bodies are using re-design to accelerate player skill development, tactical awareness, and physical fitness.
