Book excerpt: The opportunities that exist for Christian athletes are amazing. The potential to leave a lasting impact is overwhelming. The challenge is to stay focused on what ultimately matters: a vibrant relationship with God. Faith and sports are an invaluable tandem that sometimes fall off balance. Compete Inside offers athletes reflections, relevant Scripture passages, and piercing questions to help them develop their faith and integrate it into their athletic life. Nothing can be more valuable than investing in your faith. These reflections inspire the athlete to put first what should be first: our faith and trust in Christ. Awesome! Philip Rivers, 11 year NFL Veteran Quarterback, 5 time Pro Bowler As athletes, we allow ourselves to be vulnerable. We put our performance out there for all the world to evaluate. We have high highs and low lows. Because of this, sports are more than physical competition or mental challenges. It becomes a spiritual journey. We all know the importance of focus in athletics. This book will help keep you focused on the most important thing, and assist you in leaving a meaningful legacy that lasts far beyond your playing days. Matt Birk, 15 year NFL Veteran, Super Bowl Champion, and 2011 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year This book is an excellent resource for all athletes striving to excel in their sport and live a life for Christ! It is highly relatable to the highs and low that athletes face and speaks the truth of Gods love and mercy. Kristen ONeill, Associate Head Womens Basketball Coach at Seattle University, former WNBA, FIBA, and Division I athlete This book will serve as a road map to help us give God back the glorynot to strive to have him on our team, but to one day cross home plate with the winning run and be on his team. In society, sometimes we glorify athletes more than a man that died on a cross. It can create an EGO (Edging God Out). These great reflections help us bring God back into the mix. Tony Robichaux, Head Baseball Coach, University of Louisiana Lafayette

Book excerpt: Do you dream of an athletic career, playing in high school, at college, or even as a professional? The road to athletic success is full of challenges--the greatest of which have nothing to do with being the fastest, biggest, or strongest. The Complete Athlete emphasizes character growth as the essential platform upon which to prepare youth soccer players to compete at the highest levels and be desirable recruits for college and/or professional coaches. This book emphasizes the idea that success is not determined solely by one's natural ability; it is also influenced by attitude and behavior, as well as how an athlete treats herself and others, both on and off the field of play. Hear from Mallory Weggemann in The Complete Athlete: The Cornerstone Book about her athletic journey and about how an athlete progresses through each of the five levels outlined here, from elementary school to the pros. Learn how a COMPLETE ATHLETE must achieve the highest levels in five different categories: ATTITUDE refers to how you behave on the field. For instance, listening quietly while your coach is talking and showing respect for your fellow players both demonstrate that you have a good attitude. PREPARATION refers to off-the-field activities, such as keeping your uniform clean and equipment well-maintained, learning everything you can about your sport, practicing purposefully, and more. FITNESS refers to the physical fitness needed to compete in your sport. TECHNIQUE revolves around skill level, including mastering the basics and specializing in a particular position. LIFESTYLE refers to how you treat yourself, including eating right and getting enough sleep. It also includes getting good grades and being a good member of your family and your community. Guidelines, suggestions, and real-life examples are provided by Paralympic Gold Medalist Mallory Weggemann, our Cornerstone Book Author. The Complete Athlete is a guidebook for athletes, parents, and coaches alike who believe that true success is about so much more than just athletic skill.

Download or read book The Singing Athlete written by Andrew Byrne and published by Andrew Byrne Studio Inc.. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you are a singer, you are an athlete. And the athletic skills that make you a great vocalist come from one source: your brain.The Singing Athlete is the first book of its kind: a view on voice training through the lens of both the physical body and the nervous system. As one of the top teachers of professional Broadway performers, Andrew Byrne has developed a unique synthesis of athletics and neuroscience that will guide you to higher levels of performance. In addition to his work on Broadway, Andrew is devoted to studying the training methods used by Olympic athletes as a Master Practitioner of Z-Health functional applied neuroscience. He has taken thousands of hours of research and boiled it down into an easily digestible form that will help you unlock amazing new vocal skills. When you buy The Singing Athlete, you're not just picking up a book. You're getting a complete training system. With your purchase, you get lifetime access to The Singing Athlete Video Guide, a companion website that includes over 150 training videos. You'll learn the correct form for every drill, explore awesome bonus content, and download PDFs to track your progress. Through the fully illustrated book and the accompanying videos, you will learn to: Breathe correctly for stress reduction and optimal vocal support Exercise your tongue, jaw, and throat in ways that lower threat in your brain Use your ears and eyes to improve vocal range and stamina Heal any scars that might be holding you back Eliminate reflux, tinnitus, sinus problems, and other vocal stumbling blocks Move better, feel better, and sing better FAQs How is The Singing Athlete different from other vocal training systems? When you study voice, your instructor is always practicing neurology--either accidentally or on purpose. A lot of voice systems can tell you about the anatomy of the voice, but The Singing Athlete provides a crucial missing piece--how to train your brain. Once you understand how your nervous system is in charge of your singing, the way you practice will shift forever, and everything your teacher says will make more sense. I'm an instructor of a certain style of vocal training. Can I integrate The Singing Athlete into what I already do? That is one of the greatest strengths of this system; this material can fit in seamlessly with almost any style of training. The Singing Athlete is designed to complement what you already do, providing a new framework to expand and focus your thinking. Lisa Rochelle (NYC Singing Voice Specialist) says it this way: "The Singing Athlete negates no other system, no other technique, and no other pedagogy. It can be used to meet a singer where they are." How will I know if this training is working? The process in The Singing Athlete (known as "Assess and Reassess") will you show you precisely what kind of exercise your voice appreciates. With The Singing Athlete, there is no guesswork and you will be sure you are doing the right drills. I'm not a Broadway singer--I sing other styles (pop/country/R&B/classical, etc.) Can I get good results from this book? The Singing Athlete is independent of vocal style. You can apply these exercises to any vocal style, from heavy metal to grand opera. Whether you want to sing "Quando m'en vo" or "Call Me Maybe", Andrew has got you covered. How does The Singing Athlete Video Guide work? Learning movement is a visual process. To get the most out of the exercises, Andrew has shot a video of each drill. This will allow you to make sure you've got the form right, as well as learn details about how to use and tweak the drills. Once you've purchased the book, you can get lifetime access to the Video Guide at thesingingathlete.com. (Plus, there are some cool songs there, too.)

Download or read book The Revolt of the Black Athlete written by Harry Edwards and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Revolt of the Black Athlete hit sport and society like an Ali combination. This Fiftieth Anniversary edition of Harry Edwards's classic of activist scholarship arrives even as a new generation engages with the issues he explored. Edwards's new introduction and afterword revisit the revolts by athletes like Muhammad Ali, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Tommie Smith, and John Carlos. At the same time, he engages with the struggles of a present still rife with racism, double-standards, and economic injustice. Again relating the rebellion of black athletes to a larger spirit of revolt among black citizens, Edwards moves his story forward to our era of protests, boycotts, and the dramatic politicization of athletes by Black Lives Matter. Incisive yet ultimately hopeful, The Revolt of the Black Athlete is the still-essential study of the conflicts at the interface of sport, race, and society.
