Fusion Fly Tying: Steelhead, Salmon, and Trout Flies of the Synthetic Era
by Greg SenyoOver the past 7 years, Greg Senyo developed an overwhelming customer base through his company Steelhead Alley Outfitters; the demand for many of his patterns has surpassed the supply. Because of this, he has generously written a step-by-step how-to guide to tying your own flies. Modern Steelhead and Salmon Flies will highlight 35 of the author’s signature and proven steelhead flies used across the Great Lakes, Pacific North West, Canada, Alaska - also Atlantic salmon and Lake Run Browns, tapping into and keeping up with today’s current and growing synthetic material market. Each fly design will be a visual and simulating guide through high resolution and complete step-by-step photography. Modern Steelhead and Salmon Flies will teach you how to work with synthetic materials that include the use of shanks, heavy wire, fish skulls and fish Masks, synthetic hackles and hair, new age flash, while also incorporating beads/metal components, forming and using new epoxy techniques, Copic air brushing and dying techniques, and a host of signature synthetic fibers and dubbings. With these new skills, the potential and creative possibilities of each fly-tying project will be greatly increased, while still maintaining traditional fly-tying disciplines.

Futebol Nation: The Story Of Brazil Through Soccer
by David GoldblattNo nation is as closely identified with the game of soccer as Brazil. For over a century, Brazil's people, politicians, and poets have found in soccer the finest expression of the nation's collective potential. <P><P>Since the team's dazzling performance in 1938 at the World Cup in France, Brazilian soccer has been revered as an otherworldly blend of the effective and the aesthetic. <P>"Futebol Nation" is an extraordinary chronicle of a nation that has won the World Cup five times and produced players of miraculous skill, such as Pele, Garrincha, Rivaldo, Zico, Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho. It shows why the phrase "O Jogo Bonito" (the Beautiful Game)has justly entered the global lexicon. Yet there is another side to Brazil and its game, one that reflects the sociological realities.
Futsal: The Story of an Indoor Football Revolution
by Jamie Fahey"All the best players began with futsal!" - Pelé "If it wasn't for futsal, I wouldn't be the player I am today." -- Cristiano Ronaldo The untold story of soccer's little brother futsal, the grassroots game that is the secret behind the success of Pelé, Neymar, Messi, Ronaldo and the US star Christian Pulisic Futsal, a form of indoor soccer, is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Jamie Fahey uncovers its global stories, tactical innovations and fascinating history and reveals its the secret behind the success of the likes of Brazilians Ronaldhino, Ronaldo Fenômeno and Romario and the kind of soccer revolutionized by Pep Guardiola at Barcelona – with Spain&’s Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta – and at Manchester City, with Belgium&’s Kevin De Bruyne and Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson. As Brazilian superstar Neymar said: &‘It has developed my technique, quick thinking and short moves...Futsal is fundamental to a footballer&’s life. It had a big importance in mine. When you&’re out there playing, you&’re forced to think fast and move even faster – if you lose a second, then the ball will be gone." Born in Uruguay almost a century ago but raised to an art form in Brazil, futsal is one of the fastest-growing sports on the planet: over 60 million people play this lightning-fast and tactically intricate variation of indoor soccer, which is also a bona fide professional sport in its own right. Despite its growing status, however, futsal&’s history remains largely unknown and untold. Jamie Fahey is a leading futsal expert and qualified youth coach. He spent his childhood playing endless soccer matches in the shattered urban landscape of 1980s Liverpool – on the same streets later graced by Wayne Rooney, the &‘last true street footballer&’. Yet when Fahey&’s own soccer career stalled, he realised he had been unwittingly learning the skills that pointed to his true passion. In Futsal: The Indoor Game Revolutionizing World Soccer, Fahey makes the case for futsal&’s transformative grassroots effect, both in the UK and abroad. He also tells the story of futsal&’s politics, tactics and personalities – and in doing so, illuminates a hidden corner of sporting history.
Fußball – Das Praxisbuch für Training, Studium, Schule und Freizeitsport (Sportpraxis)
by Sebastian Schwab Joscha BalleIm Fußballtraining kann es sich als äußerst schwierig gestalten, passende Spiel- und Übungsformen für die unterschiedlichen Altersgruppen und Erfahrungsstufen in Verein, Schule oder Freizeit zu finden. Dieses praxisnahe Lehrbuch enthält daher 49 Spiel- und Übungsformen, die mithilfe der beschriebenen Steuerungsmöglichkeiten um ein Vielfaches erweitert werden können. Alle sind mit einem Bild, dem genauen Ablauf, möglichen Variationen, hilfreichen Trainer*innen-Tipps sowie der Einschätzung der Schwierigkeit aufbereitet worden. Ergänzend werden 15 ausgewählte Spiel- und Übungsformen als abrufbare Videos angeboten, um ein unterstützendes Verständnis der einzelnen Trainingsformen zu ermöglichen. Abseits dieser praktischen Aspekte zum Sportspiel Fußball erläutern die beiden Autoren grundlegende Begrifflichkeiten – z. B. Taktik vs. Technik oder Spiel vs. Übung – und gehen auf wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse, beispielsweise zum Kinderfußball, ein. Dieses praktische Wissen soll dabei helfen, Dozierenden Anregungen für die universitäre Fußball-Ausbildung zu liefern, Trainer*innen viele Ideen zur konkreten Umsetzung in der Trainingspraxis bereit zu stellen, Lehrer*innen Hilfestellung für den Unterricht in größtenteils heterogenen Gruppen zu geben sowie Freizeitsportler*innen ihr Repertoire an Fußball-Spielformen zu erweitern.
Fußballfans und Vereinsführung: Gemeinsam am Ball: Ein Balanceakt zwischen Leidenschaft und Management
by Edeltraud Hanappi-EggerDieses Buch analysiert das Beziehungsgeflecht zwischen Fußballfans und Vereinen und präsentiert neue Ansätze für die Verantwortlichen, Fans in das aktive Vereinsmanagement miteinzubeziehen – eine komplexe Aufgabe in einem oft emotionalen Spannungsfeld. Denn Fangemeinschaften sind Räume der Integration und Identitätsstiftung, aber auch der Exklusion und Abgrenzung. Die aktive Fußballfanszene wehrt sich zudem gegen die steigende Kommerzialisierung ihres Sports und steht machtvollen Institutionen skeptisch gegenüber. Das Management von Vereinen muss daher zum Ziel haben, die Fans von Stakeholder:innen zu Stakeowner:innen zu entwickeln – damit sie als gleichberechtigte Beteiligte im Vereinsgeschehen Verantwortung tragen können. Edeltraud Hanappi-Egger erklärt die Grundlagen des Phänomens „Fan“ und zeigt Wege hin zu mehr Transparenz und Integrität sowie zielführendem Dialog zwischen Vereinen und Fangemeinschaften auf.

Fútbol de ayer y de hoy
by Jorge BarrazaJorge Barraza, uno de los mejores cronistas deportivos, habla con glorias del fútbol para comparar el fútbol de ayer con el de hoy. Jorge Barraza, uno de los cronistas de fútbol más importantes de América Latina escribe este fascinante libro sobre el deporte más popular del mundo. Acudiendo a testimonios de futbolistas y técnicos como Bielsa, Menotti, Maturana, Ángel Cappa, entre otros, reflexiona sobre una debilidad humana: la de sentir y creer que todo tiempo pasado fue mejor. Que por supuesto no es así. Todas las épocas tienen maravillas y mamarrachos. Pero en fútbol esa tendencia a adorar el pasado se acrecienta como en ninguna otra actividad: siempre, lo mejor, fue lo de antes.
Fútbol in the Park: Immigrants, Soccer, and the Creation of Social Ties (Fieldwork Encounters and Discoveries)
by David TrouilleYou know the scene: amateur soccer players battling over the ball, spectators cheering from the sidelines, vendors selling their wares from carts. Over the past half century, immigration from Latin America has transformed the public landscape in the United States, and numerous communities are witnessing one of the hallmarks of this transformation: the emergence of park soccer. In Fútbol in the Park, David Trouille takes us into the world of Latino soccer players who regularly play in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood where they are not always welcome. Together on the soccer field, sharing beers after the games, and occasionally exchanging taunts or blows, the men build relationships and a sense of who they are. Through these engrossing, revealing, and at times immortalizing activities, they forge new identities, friendships, and job opportunities, giving themselves a renewed sense of self-worth and community. As the United States becomes increasingly polarized over issues of immigration and culture, Fútbol in the Park offers a close look at the individual lives and experiences of migrants.

Fútbol!: Why Soccer Matters in Latin America
by Joshua H. NadelGet ready for the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics—both held in Brazil—with the story of Latin America’s most popular sport. Fútbol! explains why competitors and fans alike are so fiercely dedicated to soccer throughout the region.From its origins in British boarding schools in the late 1800s, soccer spread across the globe to become a part of everyday life in Latin America—and part of the region’s most compelling national narratives. This book illustrates that soccer has the powerful ability to forge national unity by appealing to people across traditional social boundaries. In fact, author Joshua Nadel reveals that what started as a simple game played a seriously important role in the development of Latin American countries in the twentieth century. Examining the impact of the sport in Argentina, Honduras, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, and Mexico, Nadel addresses how soccer affects politics, the media, race relations, and gender stereotypes.With inspiring personal stories and a sweeping historical backdrop, Fútbol! shows that soccer continues to be tied to regional identity throughout Central and South America today. People live for it—and sometimes kill for it. It is a source of hope and a reason for suicide. It is a way out of poverty for a select few and an intangible escape for millions more.
Fútbol, Jews, and the Making of Argentina
by Raanan Rein translated by Martha GrenzebackIf you attend a soccer match in Buenos Aires of the local Atlanta Athletic Club, you will likely hear the rival teams chanting anti-Semitic slogans. This is because the neighborhood of Villa Crespo has long been considered a Jewish district, and its soccer team, Club Atlético Atlanta, has served as an avenue of integration into Argentine culture. Through the lens of this neighborhood institution, Raanan Rein offers an absorbing social history of Jews in Latin America. Since the Second World War, there has been a conspicuous Jewish presence among the fans, administrators and presidents of the Atlanta soccer club. For the first immigrant generation, belonging to this club was a way of becoming Argentines. For the next generation, it was a way of maintaining ethnic Jewish identity. Now, it is nothing less than family tradition for third generation Jewish Argentines to support Atlanta. The soccer club has also constituted one of the few spaces where both Jews and non-Jews, affiliated Jews and non-affiliated Jews, Zionists and non-Zionists, have interacted. The result has been an active shaping of the local culture by Jewish Latin Americans to their own purposes. Offering a rare window into the rich culture of everyday life in the city of Buenos Aires created by Jewish immigrants and their descendants, Fútbol, Jews, and the Making of Argentina represents a pioneering study of the intersection between soccer, ethnicity, and identity in Latin America and makes a major contribution to Jewish History, Latin American History, and Sports History.
Führung im Spitzensport: Von Strategien erfolgreicher Trainer profitieren (essentials)
by Jan MayerJan Mayer erläutert die zentralen Elemente erfolgreicher Führung im Bereich des Trainings von Spitzensportlern und -mannschaften. Der Trainer im Spitzensport hat eine sehr spezielle Rolle - sein Erfolg wird ausschließlich über den Erfolg des Sportlers oder der Mannschaft definiert. Dieses Essential beantwortet die Frage, wie Trainer kontinuierlich erfolgreich sein können, ohne dies auf Kosten der intrinsischen Motivation der Sportler zu erwirken. Gerade im Setting Spitzensport, bei dem es um die Führung von leistungsorientierten (Klein-)Gruppen geht, ist es weniger relevant, was der Trainer konkret macht. Vielmehr ist es das aus bestimmten Grundhaltungen heraus resultierende Verhalten des Trainers, das den kontinuierlichen Erfolg herbeiführen kann.
