Download or read book Big Fit Girl written by Louise Green and published by Greystone Books Ltd. This book was released on 2017-03-18 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Finally—a fitness book for the rest of us! . . . [Big Fit Girl] is sure to usher in a new generation of tough, curvy athletes.” —Jessamyn Stanley, author of Every Body Yoga In Big Fit Girl, Louise Green describes how the fitness industry fails to meet the needs of plus-size women and thus prevents them from improving their health and fitness. By telling her own story of how she stopped dieting, got off the couch, and unleashed her inner athlete—as well as showcasing similar stories from other women—Green inspires other plus-size women to do the same. Green also provides concrete advice, based on the latest research, about how to get started, how to establish a support team, how to choose an activity, what kind of clothing and gear work best for the plus-size athlete, how to set goals, and how to improve one’s relationship with food. And she stresses the importance of paying it forward—for it is only by seeing plus-size women in leadership roles that other plus-size women will be motivated to stop trying to lose weight and get fit instead. “Big Fit Girl impressed me tremendously. Green combines compelling storytelling with practical tips—true to what we know about science—in a unique way that will get you moving.” —Linda Bacon, PhD, scientist, and author of Health at Every Size “Inspiring and empowering.” —Taryn Brumfitt, producer and director, founder of the Body Image Movement “I’m thrilled to live in a world where Big Fit Girl will be part of the health section. Thank you Louise—it’s time for every person of every size to have access to this information!” —Jes Baker, The Militant Baker

Download or read book How to Interview the Coach written by Kenneth Parady and published by Author House. This book was released on 2015-01-23 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Former executive in domestic and international markets specializing in various industries. Spent six (6) years developing a plastic pipeline liner used in the pipeline transport industry. Trained large marketing and sales forces using goal setting and mental focus skills. A twenty-five-year veteran of college, high school football, basketball officiating. The outrage surrounding the college scholarship scandals in the '90s led to development of a method for athletes to market themselves to the colleges in a more professional manner. Hundreds of athletes who were never contacted by any coach received dozens of letters of interest using this program. Requirements were a 3.0+ GPA, strong teacher/coaches recommendations, and solid character traits. The student/athlete experienced the recruiting process by writing their own sports resumes. The experience writing successful resumes and interviews with the coaches prepared them for their future job-hunting process. The future for the Mental Game Plan is to make it available to the thousands of high schools in the United States that would teach athletes the skills of goal setting, meeting objectives, and focusing on the task at hand. These skills would be obtained through athletics since sports has a higher interest to most students. A good athlete could become a good student by learning these skills that are not successfully being taught today. Learning these skills to improve mental focus and goal setting would build mental discipline for use in the student/athlete's future life experiences.

He thinks she's a blue-blooded, orphaned sophisticate with a fat trust fund. However, lies have a way of catching up and causing their own damage. Fate forces Ash to perform the first selfless act of his life to protect Arianna from being blackmailed about her past. The price? He must walk away and forget about her. Two years later, the threat is gone and Ash returns, determined to win back the woman he's never forgotten and even more determined to get her to admit what she's been hiding. He reveals his true identity and pledges a future built on trust and honesty. But Ash expects the truth from her, too. Can Arianna open up to him when the last thirteen years have been built on a lie? And if she doesn't, will she risk losing him again--this time for good?

Download or read book THE HOLY SCRIPTURES OF MOKONVIST written by Rev. Gabriel Bongo Homem and published by The kingdom of the Mokonvist Ministries. This book was released on 2021-07-20 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holy Scriptures Of Mokonvist Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from Mokonvist? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify Mokonvist in your body. Use this important religious text to follow the Almighty Mokonvist and the Kingdomist faith. The Holy Scripture of Mokonvist is inspired by God, through dreams, revelations, visions, prophecies, and parables. Mokonvist reveals his mystery and that the beauty of human beings should be preserved. In this Holy Scripture, Mokonvist will teach you how to maintain that beauty. 1. Angels appear to you as good, because Mokonvist created you and said they are good. You will also learn why Mokonvist wishes that you look nice and how Mokonvist can support you to look after your body. You will also come to understand that this Holy Scripture of Mokonvist involves deep spiritual reflection. Mokonvist, in Heaven, revealed this Holy Scripture to his prophet, Gabriel, through dreams, revelations, visions, prophecies, and parables. These Holy words are presented here for you to study and include considerations of the present and of the future. You must always understand that the secrets of the Holy Scripture of Mokonvist came directly from Mokonvist, in Heaven. It can be confusing for humans to comprehend this. The key to this revelation is to remember that ‘time’ plays a great role in the life of all human beings. You were born on ‘time’, you're grown on ‘time’, work on ‘time’, and live your entire life, on ‘time’. Each vision, dream, revelation, prophecy, and parable from all the prophets of Mokonvist were made at different ‘times’. Your life depends on it. Please know and understand that only the wise that have faith can interpret and understand these Holy Scriptures. There are lots of parables also. Now be ready for the day or the hour because no one knows; not the Angels in Heaven; not the prophet Gabriel; only Mokonvist. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. Mokonvist only wishes that you are a good soldier of the faith and are ready for victory. Visions, dreams, revelations are not always complete and are sometimes cut short. If your faith has been disturbed by noise or from someone, you must avoid that disturbance.

Download or read book Ladies of the Western written by Michael G. Fitzgerald and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2006-02-16 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work features interviews with 51 leading ladies who starred in B-westerns, A-westerns, and television westerns. Some were well-known and others were not, but they all have fascinating stories to tell and they talk candidly about their careers and the many difficulties that went along with their jobs. Back then, conditions were often severe, locations were often harsh, and pay was often minimal. The actresses were sometimes the only females on location and they had to provide their own wardrobe and do their own make-up, as well as discourage the advances of over-affectionate co-stars. Despite these difficulties, most of the women interviewed for this agree that they had fun. Claudia Barrett, Virginia Carroll, Francis Dee, Lisa Gaye, Marie Harmon, Kathleen Hughes, Linda Johnson, Ruta Lee, Colleen Miller, Gigi Perreau, Ann Rutherford, Ruth Terry, and June Vincent are among the 51 actresses interviewed.
