Sin red: Nadal, Federer y la historia detrás del duelo que cambió el tenis
by Sebastián FestSebastián Fest nos trae un gran documental sobre el mejor duelo que ha dado el tenis en las últimas décadas y un retrato de sus protagonistas: Roger y Rafa ¿Qué se siente, red de por medio, ante una leyenda? Durante la última década, decenas de jugadores de todo el mundo vivieron esa aterradora pero fascinante sensación. Roger y Rafa, Rafa y Roger. Dos máquinas de tenis tan diferentes como perfectas. «Uno es tan rápido que no te deja respirar. El otro te tira para atrás, no hay nadie que le pegue de esa manera.» Federer y Nadal cambiaron la historia del deporte hasta transformarse en dos mitos vivientes. Sin embargo, no todo es como parece, no todo está contado. ¿Se respetan? Sí. ¿Se admiran? Sí. ¿Son amigos? No. ¿Están de acuerdo a la hora de diseñar el futuro del tenis? No. Ambos son los protagonistas de una rivalidad única: si uno es diestro, el otro es zurdo; si uno ataca, el otro defiende, si uno brilla bajo techo, el otro es el rey de la arcilla y el sol. Encarnan un duelo de estilos, imágenes y visiones del mundo que nace gracias al deporte, pero que es mucho más que un choque de raquetas. Nueva York, Shanghai, Buenos Aires, Madrid, Melbourne, Londres o Dubai. Convencido de que retratarlos juntos es el mejor modo de entenderlos, Sebastián Fest, coautor Ni rey ni Dios. Messi y Director de la Agencia DPA, recorrió el planeta durante más de diez años para ser testigo en primera fila de los años en que las dos «R» dominaron el mundo. Sin red es un viaje por la historia deportiva y personal de los dos grandes, pero también un minucioso, por momentos obsesivo, retrato del tenis del tercer milenio.

Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology
by Aidan Moran Marc Jones Paul McCarthy Jamie BarkerWhat is single-case research? How can single-case methods be used within sport and exercise? Single-case research is a powerful method for examining change in outcome variables such as behaviour, performance and psychological constructs, and for assessing the efficacy of interventions. It has innumerable uses within the context of sport and exercise science, such as in the development of more effective performance techniques for athletes and sportspeople and in helping us to better understand exercise behaviours in clinical populations. However, the fundamental principles and techniques of single-case research have not always been clearly understood by students and researchers working in these fields. Single-Case Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Psychology is the first book to fully explain single-case research in the context of sport and exercise. Starting with first principles, the book offers a comprehensive introduction to the single-case research process, from study design to data analysis and presentation. Including case studies and examples from across sport and exercise psychology, the book provides practical guidance for students and researchers and demonstrates the advantages and common pitfalls of single-case research for anybody working in applied or behavioural science in a sport or exercise setting.

by Andrew Maraniss*"[An] excellent exercise in narrative nonfiction." --Booklist (starred review)From New York Times bestselling author Andrew Maraniss comes the remarkable true story of Glenn Burke, a "hidden figure" in the history of sports: the inventor of the high five and the first openly gay MLB player. Perfect for fans of Steve Sheinkin and Daniel James Brown. On October 2nd, 1977, Glenn Burke, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, made history without even swinging a bat.

His MLB career would be cut short after only three years, but his legacy and impact on the athletic and LGBTQIA+ community would resonate for years to come.

This is a meticulously researched history of the ways queer culture in the &’70s intersected with baseball, Blackness, and larger culture wars, with one man at their center." --Kirkus Reviews
