Presented in two sections, Instructional Models for Physical Education 4E first presents the rationale, pedagogical knowledge, and selection processes for Model-Based Instruction (MBI). MBI is the commitment to use one instructional plan throughout a unit of instruction. The second section provides pedagogical knowledge for the selection, implementation and assessment of instructional models used in P–12 physical education. This edition has been updated to be in alignment with the SHAPE America National Standards for Physical Education. It includes new sections on differentiated instruction and practical applications. A companion website contains additional examples and information for each model. The book includes everything the reader needs for planning, implementing, and assessing when teaching with instructional models. It helps readers incorporate research-based practices in their lessons, adapt activities, and teach to standards. This text can be used as the stand-alone text for courses on physical education teaching methods at the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Intangiball: The Subtle Things That Win Baseball Games
by Lonnie WheelerA unique and refreshing ode to the “little things” that represent baseball’s heartbeat—the player who, in countless ways, makes other players better.Intangiball tracks the progress of the Cincinnati Reds through five years of culture change, beginning with the trades of decorated veterans Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey, Jr. It also draws liberally from such character-conscious clubs as the Atlanta Braves, St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, New York Yankees, and Tampa Bay Rays. Author, sportswriter, and eternal fan of the game, Lonnie Wheeler systematically identifies the performance-enhancing qualities (PEQs) that together comprise the “communicable competitiveness” that he calls “teamship.” Intangiball is not designed to debunk Moneyball, but rather to sketch in what it left out: “What order is there to a baseball world in which a struggling rookie benefits not a bit from the encouraging words of the veteran who drapes his arm around the kid’s shoulders; in which Derek Jeter’s professionalism serves none but him; in which there is no reward for hustle, no edge for enthusiasm, no payoff for sacrifice; in which there is no place for the ambient contributions of David Eckstein, Marco Scutaro, or the aging, battered Scott Rolen; in which shared purpose serves no purpose?” Intangibles, as it turns out, not only ennoble the game; they help win it. And this is the book every fan must read.
Intangibles: Unlocking the Science and Soul of Team Chemistry
by Joan RyanFrom baseball to biology, an award-winning journalist highlights the power of team chemistry in this "terrific" data-driven investigation of human relationships (Billie Jean King).Does team chemistry actually exist? Is there scientific or mathematical proof? Is team chemistry as real and relevant as on-base percentages and wins above replacement?In Joan Ryan's groundbreaking book we discover that the answer to all of the above is a resounding yes. As Ryan puts it, team chemistry, or the combination of biological and social forces that boosts selfless effort among more players over more days of a season, is what drives sports teams toward a common goal, encouraging the players to be the best versions of themselves. These are the elements of teams that make them "click," the ones that foster trust and respect, and push players to exceed their own potential when they work well together.Team chemistry alone won't win a World Series, but talent alone won't win it, either. And by interviewing more than 100 players, coaches, managers, and statisticians, as well as over five years of extensive research in neuroscience, biology, physiology, and psychology, Ryan proves that the social and emotional state of a team does affect performance. Grit, passion, selflessness, and effort matter -- but never underestimate the power of chemistry.
Integrated Marketing Communications in Football (Critical Research in Football)
by Argyro Elisavet ManoliThis book takes an important step forward in showing how Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) have been applied within the English Premier League (EPL) – arguably the most commercialised and watched sport league in the world – and how it can and should be utilised in the context of other sports properties.

Integrating Pittsburgh Sports (Sports)
by The Association of Gentleman Pittsburgh JournalistSteel City Sports as a Catalyst for Change Though Pittsburgh athletics had many of the same barriers to equality and racial discrimination as the rest of the nation for far too long, the city has celebrated some of the most important moments in the integration of sports in the country.

Integrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition: A Health-Feeds-Performance Perspective
by Justin Roberts Ian CraigIntegrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition: A Health-Feeds-Performance Perspective defines health as an underpinning requirement for active pursuit and sporting performance. By focusing on the empowerment of scientists and practitioners who support such individuals, this new textbook powerfully disseminates academic and experiential knowledge in a thoroughly applied context. The prevailing paradigm that has existed within the academic enquiry of sports nutrition has typically viewed macronutrients as ‘fuel’ for exercise endeavours. While this notion provides a basis of quantitative nutritional support, what happens when our active individual lacks adequate digestive health to assimilate these foods, and in the process creates an inflammatory tone in their body? And what happens when our aspiring athlete is genetically not suited to the diet that is prescribed by the sports nutritionist, which is based merely on the energetic needs of their sport?The underlying aim of Integrative Sport and Exercise Nutrition is to encourage sport, exercise and nutrition professionals, academics and students to embrace the physiological complexity and individuality of an exercising person. This approach highlights the need to go beyond traditional macronutrient approaches dominant in this field, and consider how our food impacts physiological health from an integrative body systems perspective. Within the context of heavy training loads, often alongside significant life stressors, such practitioners can support the robust health and performance requirements of active individuals. This cutting-edge book thereby brings together the scientific voice of academics with the ‘real-world’ experience of nutrition and exercise practitioners, and by doing so, the authors wish to stimulate a new paradigm of thought towards integrative and personalised thinking in sport and exercise.
