Download or read book Ski Jumping in the Northeast Small Towns and Big Dreams written by Ariel Picton Kobayashi and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dozens of towering ski jumps once dotted the landscape across the northeastern United States. Introduced by Norwegian immigrants in the late 1800s, ski jumping became popular in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. From Lake Placid to Salisbury, crowds thronged to the jumps to watch. Youngsters like the Tokle brothers and Roy Sherwood rose to stardom. All of that changed in the 1980s, though, with the end of college jumping. Today, only a handful of jumping clubs remain. But in a rare few communities, a strong sense of tradition keeps the spirit alive. Join author and coach Ariel Picton Kobayashi as she examines ski jumping's fascinating identity as both a small-town tradition and thrilling sport.

Download or read book We Jumped written by Thomas Remington and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Ski Museum of Maine and the Maine Ski Hall of Fame. This book is a trip through memory lane, of two brothers, Bob and Tom Remington, who, along with their father, Clarence "Rockin' Chair" Remington, grew up ski jumping. This recounts ski jumping in Maine, New Hampshire and surrounding areas during the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s, through the eyes of the two brothers. They discuss ski jumping history, including prolific and not so prolific ski jumpers, locations of ski jumps, along with years of recalled stories and important memories. I believe that history becomes more important to us as we age. My mother recently gave me her writings from many years ago. It told of her childhood, and the times in which she lived were fascinating. My father passed in 1975 at the young age of 51. At 26 years in age, I didn't realize how much it would have meant many years later to know more about him and his childhood and experiences before my time. Several years after his passing, Mom told me about his days in skiing. She told of an exceptional four-event skier with an amazing gift in the cross country event. He won races by minutes. He was unbeatable as a racer at Andover High School. He was offered a scholarship by UNH and was to be the roommate of Ralph Townsend and Ed Styrna. Townsend went on to become a member of the 1948 US Olympic Nordic Combined team, legendary coach at Williams College, and was inducted into the US Ski Hall of Fame in 1975. Ed Styrna, the legendary track coach at UMaine, an outstanding track athlete, received his induction into the Maine Running Hall of Fame in 1999. When our team traveled to Williams College for their winter carnival in 1972, Ralph Townsend sought me out when he saw my name on the start list. He asked me if I was one of Clarence Remington's sons. I was not surprised. It happened frequently. "How is Rockin' Chair?" he asked. I said, "Good," as always. I didn't know Dad would live only three more years. Forty years later, I regret that I didn't have the foresight to realize that one day I would want to know every little detail associated with his times. How did he get his start in skiing? What did he use for equipment? Who coached him? How did he train? And, of course, each of these questions would lead to many more. Why didn't he accept that UNH scholarship? He fell in love, got married, and raised a family. He never looked back. Did he ever regret his decision? If he did, he never show it. What you are about to read comes from what my brother and I could remember of our days in ski jumping. After months of pondering, we decided that we wanted to provide a "feeling" for what it was like growing up on skis in Western Maine in the 1950's, '60's, and '70's. In so doing, we chose ski jumping for it was a passion-filled sport which is sadly missing from the lives of our youth in the 21st century. In this day of enthusiasm for extreme winter sports, why isn't ski jumping part of that culture in the winter wonderland of the state of Maine? Though I am a retired teacher and ski coach at age 66, I have not yet considered working on my 'bucket list' but when I do, I know of two items that will be on that list. 1: I hope this book sells millions of copies. All profits of the selling of this book will go to the Ski Museum of Maine. We need to preserve our history. 2: Before I pass I would like to stand beside the outrun of a ski jump in the great state of Maine with many of my ski jumping peers and witness a ski jumping competition. We thank you for your donation to the Ski Museum of Maine and hope you thoroughly enjoy your journey into the past.

Book excerpt: Do you set goals for yourself only to find they go unmet?Do you recite daily affirmations that never become realized?Do you ever listen to motivational speakers but find you quickly lose your enthusiasm? How many times have you set out to achieve your goals only to find yourself falling short of the mark? Over the years, we've been inundated by methods of achieving success -- goal setting, daily affirmations, self-help gurus, and subliminal messaging. But these standard techniques have failed us time and time again. So what does work and how do we go about living the life we've always dreamed of having? Is it even possible? Not only is it possible, with The DNA of Success, it's inevitable. Success is not something "out there" -- it's an inside job. We all possess what it takes to achieve our greatest desires. But first, to find the motivation and direction our lives lack, we need to pinpoint our Core Desires -- those things in life for which we have an intense, unwavering, and deeply felt need. Whether you want to earn more money, establish deeper relationships, boost your self-confidence, or deepen your spirituality, you must first identify your Core Desire -- that intense want that drives you from within. Do you know what you desire most in your heart?Do you have a sense of what it will take to realize those desires?Are you willing to do whatever it takes? Jack Zufelt, a top professional speaker and highly acclaimed trainer, knows that all success is a result of the power within us. As The DNA of Success explains, Core Desires are the trigger mechanisms that unleash the Conquering Force. Your Conquering Force is your innate ability to act effectively in a pursuit of your Core Desires. Once you tap into your Conquering Force, you will overcome all obstacles and resistance in your way to achieve amazing results -- every time. Don't waste your valuable time and energy writing goals, visualizing your success, or repeating mantras -- The DNA of Success smashes the myths of achievement and teaches you to find the cause of success within yourself. Through case histories, business examples, real-life stories, testimonials, success tips, and proven advice, Zufelt reveals the new, in-depth psychology and personal habits that have won him the respect of his colleagues and the praise of the many thousands he has inspired.

Download or read book License to Jump written by Marit Nybelius and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the 2015 Nordic Ski World Championship in the Swedish resort Falun, the World Championship in women's ski jumping will be conducted. Women's ski jumping did not have a smooth way to become an internationally acknowledged and accepted sport. However, that struggle is no longer discussed. In many European countries women's ski jumping regularly gets TV coverage and the print media covers it in its sports sections. This book aims to give insight into the at least 150-year-history of women's ski jumping from its beginnings until it became an Olympic sport in the 2014 Sochi Games. It shows the struggle and effort of female ski jumpers, coaches, families and others to make this sport internationally recognized and accepted. The chapters reflect a collection of research done by international authors. Due to the accessibility of sources the main focus is on Europe and North America. However, we do not claim to offer a complete history; there are many histories of women's ski jumping, depending on the geographic location. We tried to avoid an overlapping of contents, which was not always possible, because each chapter was to be an entity in itself. In the future, still, bit by bit, little pieces have to be added to the puzzle to gain a complete picture of the evolution of this sport. Although all authors have an academic background in sport history and/or sport sociology and sport media, the book is aimed to appeal to the general public. For all those readers who are interested in more details, footnotes and references are added.

Book excerpt: UniTazia is a gripping chronicle of dedicated pilgrims' perilous journey to establish the first human settlement outside the solar system. Young Stanford physics professor Krishna Karpati, with the help of android brothers Jes and Mo, succeeds in constructing a supernova fusion reactor/rocket suitable for interstellar travel. They receive the Nobel Prize. Starship MayFlower is built on Deimos and departs with a crew of 50 towards Alpha Centauri via the Pluto/Charon system, where 20 stay. They send iceteroids towards Mars to help with its terraforming. On Mars, where thriving domed cities already dot the landscape, water, primitive life forms and alien messages are found inside the magma chambers of Olympus Mons. MayFlower reaches Alpha Proxima in 9 years and finds planetoid UniTazia, which the crew totally enclose to create the cradle of Homo Universalis. On the way, the crew--a colorful group of characters--encounter exciting, dangerous adventures as well as friendships, intrigues, love and romance: Jes falls in love with the captain's wife and Mo with Attila the Hunk, whose life he saves during an expedition around Proxima. The Olymoian alien messages deciphered, the crew lead UniTazia's settlers and their descendents towards an Earth-like planet which they name CaliFlorida.

This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gain an edge in sports and life by going gluten-free Since the advent of sport, athletes have worked to gain an edge on their competition—to look, feel, and perform their best—through both training and nutrition. Today, science is increasingly showing the negative impact that gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can have on health. For the estimated 30 million Americans with forms of gluten intolerance, such as celiac disease, this all-too-common protein can cause gastrointestinal trouble, inflammation, muscle fatigue, and mental fog that hinder an active lifestyle and negatively impact athletic performance. The solution: a whole-foods, nutrient-dense gluten-free diet. Others who voluntarily eat gluten-free can also discover an edge they never knew was missing: faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved digestion, and increased athletic performance. The Gluten-Free Edge is the first comprehensive resource that includes: • What gluten is and how it negatively impacts health and athletic performance • The myriad benefits of adopting a gluten-free nutrition plan • What to eat during training, competition, and recovery • How to deal with group meals, eating on the road, and getting “glutened” • Insights from prominent athletes already living the gluten-free edge • And 50 simple, high-octane recipes to fuel your performance Whether you’ve been diagnosed with gluten intolerance or simply want to get ahead of the competition, this book is for you. Your own gluten-free edge is waiting.
