Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is one sound that will always be loudest in sports. It isn’t the squeak of sneakers or the crunch of helmets; it isn’t the grunts or even the stadium music. It’s the deafening roar of sports fans. For those few among us on the outside, sports fandom—with its war paint and pennants, its pricey cable TV packages and esoteric stats reeled off like code—looks highly irrational, entertainment gone overboard. But as Erin C. Tarver demonstrates in this book, sports fandom has become extraordinarily important to our psyche, a matter of the very essence of who we are. Why in the world, Tarver asks, would anyone care about how well a total stranger can throw a ball, or hit one with a bat, or toss one through a hoop? Because such activities and the massive public events that surround them form some of the most meaningful ritual identity practices we have today. They are a primary way we—as individuals and a collective—decide both who we are who we are not. And as such, they are also one of the key ways that various social structures—such as race and gender hierarchies—are sustained, lending a dark side to the joys of being a sports fan. Drawing on everything from philosophy to sociology to sports history, she offers a profound exploration of the significance of sports in contemporary life, showing us just how high the stakes of the game are.

Now you can with “The ‘I’ in Team: The Playbook To Create A Winning Culture and Thriving Business” by motivational speaker, mindset expert, and world-class athlete Charles Clark! We’ve been told that there is no “I” in team. But what this mantra does instead is: holds us back from seeing ourselves as a player that can add value to the team’s arsenal, keeps us inside an over-engineered box that plays off tedious consensus-based rulings and politicking, isolates leaders and disconnects team members from taking ownership, and keeps us stuck and unable to follow through with decisions rapidly. Successful organizations start with themselves, the "I". Because no championship team has won a game without someone taking personal accountability and extreme ownership of their team culture. And that’s what “The ‘I’ in Team” can give you. If you’re ready to learn game-changing strategies on how to embody the “I” in Team mindset and elevate yourself to a position of leadership, then this book is for you! In this groundbreaking guide, you will learn several “plays” including: 1st Play: Investing in Profit 2nd Play: The Power of Automation 3rd Play: Strength Finder 4th Play: The Importance of Ownership 5th Play: Bridging the Gap 6th Play: Being Coachable 7th Play: Follow-through You are both an individual on a team charged to carry your own weight and a member of a team responsible for denying yourself to support others. This book teaches you how to embrace all of that so you can eventually become the leader who contributes to the overall good of the organization and brings your team to the finish line. Ready to embody the “I” in team? Then don’t waste another second!
