Athletic and Orthopedic Injury Assessment: A Case Study Approach
by David C. Berry Leisha M. Berry Michael G. MillerThe case studies in this book use authentic injury assessment examples to help readers link theory and clinical practice with the goal of becoming competent clinicians. The situations are realistic and present more than 130 of the injuries that athletic trainers may encounter in the real world. The questions that accompany the cases ask readers to identify clinical and differential diagnoses, critique the evaluating clinician's actions, recommend treatment, comment on ethical choices, and make many of the decisions they will face in the field. The cases encourage readers to think and problem solve; evidence-based answers (for select cases in the text and for all cases in the instructor's manual) ensure that the recommended clinical decisions are based on the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences rather than on anecdotal practice.

AthleticEnhancement, Human Nature and Ethics: Threats and Opportunities of Doping Technologies (International Library of Ethics, Law, and the New Medicine #52)
by Sigrid Sterckx Pieter Bonte Jan TolleneerThe book provides an in-depth discussion on the human nature concept from different perspectives and from different disciplines, analyzing its use in the doping debate and researching its normative overtones. The relation between natural talent and enhanced abilities is scrutinized within a proper conceptual and theoretical framework: is doping to be seen as a factor of the athlete's dehumanization or is it a tool to fulfill his/her aspirations to go faster, higher and stronger? Which characteristics make sports such a peculiar subject of ethical discussion and what are the, both intrinsic and extrinsic, moral dangers and opportunities involved in athletic enhancement? This volume combines fundamental philosophical anthropological reflection with applied ethics and socio-cultural and empirical approaches. Furthermore guidelines will be presented to decision- and policy-makers on local, national and international levels. Zooming in on the intrinsic issue of what is valuable about our homo sapiens biological condition, this volume devotes only scant attention to the specific issue of natural talent and why such talent is appreciated so differently than biotechnological origins of ability. In addition, specific aspects of sports such as its competitive nature and its direct display of bodily prowess provide good reason to single out the issue of natural athletic talent for sustained ethical scrutiny.

Atlanta: Una historia de valientes
by Federico KotlarUna historia integral del Club Atlético Atlanta, hecha a partir de una profusa investigación periodística, con numerosas entrevistas y testimonios pero siempre desde el punto de vista afectivo de su autor, hincha de toda la vida. Incluye un par de textos invitados y un prólogo a cargo de uno de los seguidores más famosos y militantes del club, Sebastián Wainraich. No parece haber nadie más indicado que Federico Kotlar para escribir esta historia integral, completa, definitiva de Atlanta. Porque hace un recorrido cronológico que abarca todas las anécdotas y todos los datos que importan, y eso la convierte en el tesoro perfecto para varias generaciones -hijos, padres y abuelos- de corazones bohemios. Porque incluye testimonios que harán tambalear algunos mitos que parecían imbatibles -como el de la polémica final de 1985- y recorre el sinfín de conspiraciones que conforman el relato de glorias y desventuras del club. Pero por encima de todo, porque Federico es, además de un gran investigador, un auténtico hincha, uno que aprendió a lo largo de su vida a celebrar y, claro, a sufrir las vicisitudes de un equipo que siempre parece a punto de desaparecer pero que una y otra vez sale adelante con fuerza e instinto de supervivencia. Uno que nunca pierde el humor ni, como los hinchas más fieles, la esperanza de que este sea finalmente el año. «Veo deambular a Federico Kotlar hace años por la tribuna o por la platea de la cancha de Atlanta. De tanto vernos, algún día empezamos a hablar y surgió la relación entre dos tipos insoportables que en toda conversación siempre tienen algo para decir sobre el club. Alguna vez osamos dialogar sobre otras cuestiones, y encontré en Federico un hombre sensible, culto, periodista de raza, educado. Incluso parece un buen padre y un marido aceptable. De lo que estoy seguro es de que es un tipo generoso. A los hinchas de Atlanta nos regala este libro imperdible. Bien escrito, honesto, con historias y testimonios de un club entrañable que tratan de encontrar una respuesta a esta historia de valientes. Pero como en toda buena obra de arte, estas páginas nos van a dejar más preguntas que respuestas y a la vez nos van a hacer sentir acompañados en la locura. ¿Qué lleva a un ser humano a entregar horas de su vida a una cuestión que no deja de lastimarlo? Sean bienvenidos todos los hinchas del fútbol argentino a este libro. Pasen, lean y descubran qué es lo que sentimos los hinchas de Atlanta y por qué ser de Atlanta es distinto».Sebastián Wainraich «Lo bueno de las caídas es que dejan al desnudo lo más lindo que tiene el amor por un club: que no es un amor de usura. Y eso, en una época en la que nada parece ser gratis, creo que es algo muy valioso».Eduardo Sacheri «En el mundo capitalista siempre es preferible ganar, y las derrotas suelen conducir a la disolución de los perdedores. En la poesía, desde luego, no es así. Y el mundo está hecho de capitalismo pero también de poesía. Creo que hay algo de engrandecerse en la derrota, y en el sentido poético casi hay que celebrar las derrotas de Atlanta, un equipo que siempre me cayó muy simpático».Alejandro Dolina «Cuando era chico, el programa habitual de fin de semana con mi abuelo era caminar desde mi casa en La Paternal hasta la cancha de Atlanta para ver el partido. Cuando paso por ahí tengo siempre esa imagen, que para mí es de un tiempo de una cultura futbolística superior».Diego Latorre «Atlanta es un caso raro. No tiene ningún sentido que no haya sido campeón en Primera. Y tampoco que no haya tenido chances de estar en Primera en treinta años».Gonzalo Bonadeo
Atlanta’s Olympic Resurgence: How the 1996 Games Revived a Struggling City
by Michael Dobbins Leon S. Eplan Randal RoarkThe summer of 1996. In nineteen days, six million visitors jostled about in a southern city grappling with white flight, urban decay and the stifling legacy of Jim Crow. Six years earlier, a bold, audacious partnership of a strong mayor, enlightened business leaders and Atlanta's Black political leadership dared to bid on hosting the 1996 Olympic Games. Unexpectedly, the city won, an achievement that ignited a loose but robust coalition that worked collectively, if sometimes contentiously, to prepare the city and push it forward. This is a story of how once-struggling Atlanta leveraged the benefits of the Centennial Games to become a city of international prominence. This improbable rise from the ashes is told by three urban planning professionals who were at the center of the story.

Atlas: From the Streets to the Ring: A Son's Struggle to Become a Man
by Peter Alson Teddy Atlas"Of all the people who have affected by my life and influence the choices I've made, none has been more important than my father."So begins the autobiography of legendary boxing trainer and commentator Teddy Atlas, who grew from the rebellious son of a doctor to a man who embraces, and lives by, his father's values and code.In this gritty, spellbinding tale, Atlas recounts his fascinating life -- as a juvenile delinquent on the streets of Staten Island; as a boxer and Golden Gloves champion under the tutelage of famed trainer Cus D'Amato; as a companion to the dangerous, unpredictable Sammy "the Bull" Gravano, up until the day Gravano turned rat and brought down crime boss John Gotti; and as a trainer of champions and contenders, among them fourteen-year-old Mike Tyson and heavyweight Michael Moorer, whom he led to the crown with a win over Evander Holyfield.Equally engrossing are Teddy Atlas's accounts of training dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp for her successful comeback at age forty-two; his work with actor Willem Dafoe, preparing him for his role as a concentration camp boxer in the film Triumph of the Spirit; his journey to Poland to choreograph the film's boxing scenes; and his own performance in movies such as Play It to the Bone. In sharing his stories, Atlas reveals the philosophy by which he lives.Like Teddy Atlas -- inimitable, tough, honest, and wise -- this book inspires. It is about so much more than boxing. It is a story of overcoming hardships, of compassion for those in need, of tremendous personal integrity, and of personal and professional triumph.
Attachment in Sport, Exercise and Wellness (Routledge Research in Sport and Exercise Science)
by Sam CarrAttachment theory is a concept well known to ‘mainstream’ psychologists, informing the literature in areas as diverse as psychodynamics, developmental psychology, social psychology and counselling. This important new book is the first to demonstrate the relevance of attachment theory to the psychology of sport, exercise and wellness, opening up important new avenues for research and professional practice. In this book, author Sam Carr explains that attachment theory can help us to better understand well established themes and processes in sport and exercise, including motivation, social relationships, cognitive models of coping, and group processes. By introducing the core elements of attachment theory and mapping out those areas in which it can inform the knowledge and practice of psychologists working in sport, exercise and wellness, this book represents an innovative and important contribution to the psychological literature.
Attack on Everest
by Hugh RuttledgeIt was nine long years since the disappearance of Mallory and Irvine on the north face of Mount Everest. In the intervening years, the mountain had remained off limits. Suspicious of the foreign intrusions to Everest in 1921, 1922 and 1924, the Tibetan government had refused further expeditions permission to climb the mountain. Maybe the gods had not been happy, for already seven porters had perished on its mighty crags.Then in 1933 the Tibetan Government unexpectedly declared the mountain open again. The Mount Everest committee swung into action, and a new attempt was organised. The party set off from Darjeeling even earlier in the spring.All went well, with camps established above the East Rongbuk Glacier. The dangerous ice wall up to the North Col was breached. Camps were placed high on the northeast ridge. Of Mallory and Irvine there was no sign.But climbing Mount Everest is not just a struggle to conquer the ice walls and rocky precipices; it has as much to do with the fury of the gods, the wind, the monsoon clouds and the deathly intensity of the cold. In 1933 the gods were still angry, and the mountain remained aloof and daunting.In this volume some wonderful and now historic photographs beautifully illustrate the people, the countryside, the monasteries en route and the spectacular scenes from high on the mountain.So what was achieved by this fourth expedition to conquer Everest? Here is the fascinating story of that epic journey.

Attendance Demand in Sports Economics: A New Methodological Approach (Palgrave Pivots in Sports Economics)
by John EmberyThis book provides a new and unique perspective on ideas of demand within sports economics. It reviews the methodologies that underpin the current analysis of the demand for sporting events, highlights their limitations, and proposes ways in which they can be improved. By proposing a new framework that takes approaches from behavioural economics, socio-economics and open-systems methodology, a new perspective is proposed that deepens our understanding of the demand for sporting events and is presented as a research strategy that embraces qualitative and mixed methods. This book offers insight into a key economic idea through the lens of sports economics and the attendance of sporting events. It will be relevant to students and researchers interested in sports economics and the political economy of sport.
Attitude: Develop a Winning Mindset on and off the Court
by Charles Barkley Mark Dagostino Michael Sheridan Jay WrightIn this behind-the-scenes look at the making of a champion, the coach of the Villanova University men’s basketball team shares his competitive and cooperative philosophy, along with lessons from his coaching career and the story of his personal road to success. When Kris Jenkins sank a three-pointer at the buzzer to win the 2016 NCAA Tournament, it was a victory not just for a team and its coach but for an entire program. In his twentieth season with the Villanova program, including a five-year stint as an assistant to Coach Rollie Massimino, Coach Jay Wright had achieved his lifelong dream—and witnessed the culmination of a decades-long effort to build a culture of winning around a set of core values. In Attitude, Coach Wright shares some of the leadership secrets that have enabled Villanova, a private university with an undergraduate enrollment of less than 6,500, to thrive in the hypercompetitive world of college athletics. As he recounts the story of the 2015–16 Wildcats, Coach Wright offers anecdotes from his own journey up the ladder of success, with lessons learned on the Little League playing fields of his youth and wisdom passed down from his coaches and mentors. Each step of Villanova’s journey to a national championship incorporates a signature term torn from Coach Wright’s own motivational playbook. Here are key principles that aspiring leaders can apply, not only on the basketball court but in the boardroom, the classroom, and the living room. From learning to accept your role to remembering to honor those who came before us, Jay Wright’s core values provide a positive blueprint for transformational team building based on the idea that anyone—from the head coach to the last player on the bench—can be a leader when the moment demands it. The product of a lifetime’s worth of championship-level preparation, Attitude is perfect for anyone looking to build a team, achieve a goal, or nurture their own winning culture.Advance praise for Attitude“Jay Wright’s Attitude is filled with wonderful anecdotes, life lessons, and that which we all seek: wisdom.”—Phil Knight, co-founder and chairman emeritus, Nike “In 2015–16, Villanova displayed the best attributes of a champion by playing hard, smart, and together. Jay Wright instilled those traits in his team, and in Attitude he shares the universal leadership lessons that helped it succeed.”—Mike Krzyzewski, head coach, Duke University basketball “In my four years at Villanova, Coach Wright taught me what it means to be a respected leader and how infectious a positive daily approach can be. Reading Attitude made me feel like I was right back with my teammates in a circle at center court after practice, listening to Coach’s insight into how I could become a better player and a better leader.”—Ryan Arcidiacono, co-captain, 2015–2016 Villanova Wildcats
Attitudes of Play
by Gabor CsepregiPlay is not only a kind of activity, but also a set of attitudes. We may join a card game in a casino without assuming a play attitude; conversely we may transform a seemingly tedious action, such as a walk to the store, into a pleasant experience of spontaneous movements by adopting an attitude of play. Attitudes of Play is a comprehensive study of the persistent human tendency to bring a cheerful and good-humoured outlook to any kind of situation, including the serious and the mundane. Gabor Csepregi offers a phenomenological description of forms of playfulness, showing how, time and again, our attitudes of play redefine and shape diverse activities and experiences – from teaching, healing, or worshipping to political conflict or walking down the street. With play attitudes, we exercise our freedom to colour these scenes or give them an altogether new form, evoking in us more refined sentiments and more acute perceptions.This book seeks to distinguish play activities from attitudes of play, showing that the latter hold value not merely for their educational or other instrumental benefits but also, and perhaps most importantly, for the overall fulfillment and well-being they offer in all stages of human existence.
Attraverso l'Europa su una bici di nome Reggie
by Enrico Antonio Mion Andrew P. SykesL'anno accademico doveva essere stato difficile perché Andrew Sykes, un insegnante di scuola media, con l'arrivo delle vacanze estive era felice di fare il meno possibile. Ma mentre era seduto sul divano di casa a guardare i ciclisti che percorrevano la Grande Muraglia cinese in occasione delle Olimpiadi di Pechino, si rese conto dell'errore che stava facendo e decise di rendere la sua vita un po' più avventurosa. Due anni più tardi, accompagnato dal suo fedele compagno Reggie (la sua bici) e con un piano rudimentale, Andrew partì per un'avventura ciclistica transcontinentale che lo avrebbe condotto lungo il percorso della Via Francigena e dell'Eurovelo 5, da casa sua nel sud dell'Inghilterra fino a Brindisi. Ci sono stati alti e bassi, pioggia e sole, gioia e disperazione, e ci racconta tutto in questo diario di viaggio narrato con uno stile scherzoso e vivace.
Attucks!: Oscar Robertson and the Basketball Team That Awakened a City
by Phillip HooseThe true story of the all-black high school basketball team that broke the color barrier in segregated 1950s Indiana, masterfully told by National Book Award winner Phil Hoose.By winning the state high school basketball championship in 1955, ten teens from an Indianapolis school meant to be the centerpiece of racially segregated education in the state shattered the myth of their inferiority.

Anchored by the astonishing Oscar Robertson, a future college and NBA star, the Crispus Attucks Tigers went down in history as the first state champions from Indianapolis and the first all-black team in U.S. history to win a racially open championship tournament—an integration they had forced with their on-court prowess. From native Hoosier and award-winning author Phillip Hoose comes this true story of a team up against impossible odds, making a difference when it mattered most.This title has Common Core connections.

Augusta and Aiken in Golf's Golden Age (Images of Sports)
by Stan Byrdy Augusta Mayor YoungThe game of golf got its start in the Southeastern United States in 1892 on four holes with sand greens at Palmetto Golf Club in Aiken, South Carolina. Within five years, Palmetto had expanded to eighteen holes and the first nine-hole course in neighboring Augusta, Georgia was designed at the Hotel Bon Air. For half a century, the Augusta-Aiken area flourished as the winter destination of choice for the rich, famous, and powerful in America. Presidents Taft, Harding, and Eisenhower vacationed here. Baseball great Ty Cobb bought a home in Augusta's quaint Summerville neighborhood. It was here that Bobby Jones began the improbable journey towards a Grand Slam, then built his dream golf course. By the turn of the century, winter tourism and grand resort hotels in the Augusta-Aiken area were well established. A favorable winter climate and easy rail access drew vacationers to Highland Park Hotel (1866), Willcox Hotel (1898), and Park in the Pines (1900) in Aiken; Hotel Bon Air (1890) and Partridge Inn (1913) in Augusta; and Hampton Terrace Hotel and Golf Club (1903) in North Augusta. Resorts in Florida and the growth of the air travel industry later coupled to mark the area's decline in winter tourism, but not before Augusta-Aiken's place in golf history was secure. In this unique volume, vintage images and accompanying text recall the unfo rgettable legends, the meticulously maintained courses, and all of the grandeur associated with the game.
