by M. E. CarterGroupie : n. f. [gʀupi] Personne (le plus souvent jeune fille) qui suit régulièrement une célébrité dans l’espoir de la rencontrer ou d’apprendre à la connaître. Voir l’exemple de Tiffany Wendel : Pute. Salope. Chasseuse de crampons. J’ai l’habitude des noms qu’ils me donnent, alors ils ne m’affectent pas. Ce sont mes gars. Mes amis. Qu’est-ce que ça peut bien faire que j’aime coucher avec eux ? Ce que je fais de mon corps ne regarde que moi. Pourquoi est-ce que Rowen Flanigan me pousse à repenser la façon dont je vis ma vie ? À remettre mes choix en question ? Ce n’est qu’une recrue. Recrue : n. f. [ʀəkʀy] Membre d’une équipe sportive qui en est à sa première saison complète dans ce sport. Voir l’exemple de Rowen Flanigan : Footballeur. Fils d’une légende. Recrue. Bien sûr, j’ai entendu des histoires de groupies auparavant. Qui n’en a jamais entendu parler ? Je suis simplement plus réservé que mes coéquipiers. Et puis quoi ? Je ne m’attendais pas à ce qu’elle soit brillante. Drôle. Professionnelle. Elle me met à genoux de toutes les façons – sauf une. Pour celle-là, j’attends le bon moment. Alors comment se fait-il que je sois tombé amoureux d’une groupie comme Tiffany ? Et comment pourrais-je travailler avec mes coéquipiers, quand chacun d’eux a goûté à la seule chose que je me refuse ?

by Burton L. SpillerCLASSIC STORIES ABOUT AMERICA’S FAVORITE UPLAND GAME BIRD—AND ABOUT THE MEN AND DOGS WHO HUNT ITFirst published in 1935, this collection of stories on grouse hunting from specialist Burton L.

Spiller’s twin books, Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers, are classics; they are as stirring today as they were in their first Derrydale editions, so true that time stands still.“Long ago these volumes became collector’s items…. The incomparable delights of grouse hunting, the aroma of a clean wilderness, and the almost pagan rapport that exists between a man and his dog never change. I hold Burt Spiller the finest grouse writer who ever lived.”—Frank Woolner, author of Grouse and Grouse Hunting“The reappearance of these two delightful blendings of warm, sensitive prose and fine art will gladden the hearts of all grouse hunters and lovers of fine hunting literature….”—Eric Peper, Editor, Field & Stream Book Club

Growing Up Gronk: A Family's Story of Raising Champions
by The Gronkowski FamilyHuge boys, huge dreams, huge success—how one family from Buffalo put five boys on the track to realizing their athletic potential and making it &“big.&” &“The beauty of Growing Up Gronk is that you never really have to grow up at all. A fascinating look inside a larger-than-life football family.&” —Dan Shaughnessy, bestselling author of Francona: The Red Sox Years It is so statistically unlikely as to be almost unbelievable. Somehow, the Gronkowski family has produced three sons who play in the NFL (Rob, Chris, and Dan), one who was drafted into Major League Baseball (Gordie Jr.), and another who is the starting fullback for Kansas State (Goose). Their father, Gordy, even played college football for Syracuse. How did it happen? From an early age, Gordy realized the potential his sons had and worked with them to make the most of it. Beyond their monstrous size, physicality, and raw talent, he instilled in them a commitment to fitness, health, drive, and determination that would give his boys a leg up in ways other families simply couldn&’t match. And the boys&’ motivation certainly wasn&’t something solely triggered by a driven father. They were like a pack of adolescent wolves readying themselves for the recruiting hunt. Still, all were honor roll students; the three oldest earned college degrees. Each was motivated and inspired by his brothers. Competition and bragging rights were—and continue to be—a big part of what makes the Gronkowskis tick. Growing Up Gronk reveals the secrets to the Gronkowskis&’ astonishing collective success while opening the door to a lively, entertaining, one-of-a-kind household.
Growing Up Pedro: How the Martinez Brothers Made It from the Dominican Republic All the Way to the Major Leagues
by Matt Tavares<p>The love between brothers is key to Matt Tavares's tale of Dominican pitcher Pedro Martinez, from his days of throwing rocks at mangoes to his years as a major-league star. <p>Before Pedro MartInez pitched the Red Sox to a World Series championship, before he was named to the All-Star team eight times, before he won the Cy Young three times, he was a kid from a place called Manoguayabo in the Dominican Republic. Pedro loved baseball more than anything, and his older brother Ramon was the best pitcher he'd ever seen. He'd dream of the day he and his brother could play together in the major leagues--and here, Matt Tavares tells the story of how that dream came true. In a fitting homage to a modern day baseball star, the acclaimed author-illustrator examines both Pedro Martinez's improbable rise to the top of his game and the power that comes from the deep bond between brothers.</p>
Growing Up on the Gridiron: Football, Friendship, and the Tragic Life of Owen Thomas
by Vicki MaykExplores the experience of one young man and the concerns about CTE he helped to illuminate, and the cultural allure of football in America that keeps boys trying to make the team despite the dangersAward-winning journalist Vicki Mayk raises a critical question for football players and their communities: does loving a sport justify risking your life? This is the insightful and deeply human story of Owen Thomas--a star football player at Penn, who took his own life when he was 21, the result of the pain and anguish caused by chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).It was Owen's landmark case which demonstrated that a player didn't need years of head bashing in the NFL, or even multiple sustained brain concussions, to cause the mind-altering, life-threatening, degenerative disease known as CTE. And Owen's case could not have come to light without Dr. Ann McKee, the neuropathologist who bucked conventional wisdom, and the football establishment, as she examined Owen's brain and its larger significance, building an ever-stronger case that said, at the very least, football should not be played by children under the age of 14.With its focus on a single life and the community touched by it--Owen's family, his teammates and friends, his teachers and coaches, and, later, Dr. McKee--Growing Up on the Gridiron explores the place of football in our lives. It doesn't make a heavy-handed argument to abandon the sport. Rather, it explores why football matters so deeply to many young men, and why they continue to take risks despite the evidence of serious, long-term harm.

Growing the Game: The Globalization of Major League Baseball
by Alan M. KleinBaseball fans are well aware that the game has become increasingly international. Major league rosters include players from no fewer than fourteen countries, and more than one-fourth of all players are foreign born. Here, Alan Klein offers the first full-length study of a sport in the process of globalizing. Looking at the international activities of big-market and small-market baseball teams, as well as the Commissioner's Office, he examines the ways in which Major League Baseball operates on a world stage that reaches from the Dominican Republic to South Africa to Japan. The origins of baseball's efforts to globalize are complex, stemming as much from decreasing opportunities at home as from promise abroad. The book chronicles attempts to develop the game outside the United States, the strategies that teams such as the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Kansas City Royals have devised to recruit international talent, and the ways baseball has been growing in other countries. The author concludes with an assessment of the obstacles that may inhibit or promote baseball's progress toward globalization, offering thoughtful proposals to ensure the health and growth of the game in the United States and abroad.

Guardians of the Goal: A Comprehensive Guide to New York Rangers Goaltenders, from Hal Winkler to Ed Giacomin, Henrik Lundqvist, and All Those in Between
by George GrimmA history of Rangers goalies through the ages! New York Rangers fans have always loved their goaltenders and, throughout their history, the Blueshirts have been blessed with some of the very best in the game. Through the first nine-plus decades of their existence, eighty-eight men from Canada, the United States, and Europe have toiled between the pipes at Madison Square Garden. They all shared the same responsibility, yet each brought their own style, personality, character, and idiosyncrasies to the position and provided unique memories for those of us who watched them.In Guardians of the Goal, each one of these brave men is discussed in chronological order, while providing an overview of their era and the general managers and coaches they played for. Such players highlighted in this book include:· Mike Richter· Ed Giacomin· John Vanbiesbrouck· Henrik Lundqvist· Davey Kerr· And many more.Regardless of whether they were a franchise goalie, a flash in the pan, or an emergency fill-in, each of these “Lone Rangers,” or as Steve Baker once called them, “The few, the proud, and the very busy,” have one thing in common: they all tried their best to keep that little one-inch by three-inch piece of frozen, vulcanized rubber out of the gaping twenty-four square foot chasm behind them. Some were more successful than others, but as you will see, although they may occasionally “steal” a game, in most cases a goaltender is only as good as the team in front of him.Guardians of the Goal is just that: an ode to those Blueshirts who laid it out night in and night out, leaving it all out on the ice for our Rangers.

Guida per Runners Principianti
by Valeria Bragante Atletismo ArjonaOgni esperimento presuppone una novità. Andare a correre per la prima volta può trasformarsi nella novità più memorabile di tutta la vita, come la prima volta in cui hai indossato delle scarpe nuove, o in un esperimento che non tenterai mai più. La differenza si basa sul fatto che se il giorno in cui hai indossato per la prima volta quelle scarpe ti hanno fatto male, o se quella sera ti hanno fatto fare bella figura. E come le scarpe, anche camminare, non è corredato da un libretto di istruzioni. Lo impari, lo memorizzi e non lo dimentichi più. Poi ti azzardi a correre, o ti obbligano a farlo. C’è sempre una prima volta per tutto, ed in molti casi senza un manuale tecnico. Questa guida che hai tra le mani è nata per questo, come un insieme di esperienze che Juan Carlos Arjona ha selezionato affinchè la tua prima uscita con le scarpe da running ed un abbigliamento sportivo diventi un ricordo duraturo. Con errori che puoi evitare, consigli che devi seguire, raccomandazioni che non devi dimenticare e trucchi da memorizzare. Nei successivi 30 capitoli ti verranno indicate le cose più utili, le informazioni più basilari che ti faranno crescere come runner. Juan Carlos Arjona conosce e comprende l’atletica e ti rivela i punti forti di cui devi tenere conto, perchè non diventino i tuoi punti deboli, come il dolore provocato da una scarpa nuova. E come un allenatore che conosce bene il proprio mestiere, ti guiderà senza vincoli nè disillusioni. Hai solo bisogno di una motivazione, una scusa per lasciar perdere tutto per un momento ed andare a correre, come se fosse la prima volta. Ma con 30 lezioni già apprese. Se quella prima volta ha avuto un senso, una forza speciale, questo deve essere il tuo calzascarpe di ogni giorno, con cui affrontare gli ostacoli della tua giornata.

Guide du clinicien pour aborder l'obésité avec les patients
by Sandra ChristensenCet ouvrage pratique, traduit de l’anglais, offre des stratégies efficaces, applicables dans n’importe quel cadre de pratique, pour amorcer et entretenir une conversation constructive sur le poids avec un patient. Il est destiné aux praticiens, infirmiers de pratique avancée, assistants médicaux, médecins, qu’ils soient étudiants ou professionnels expérimentés, pour les aider à prendre en charge le suivi de l'obésité ou pour orienter leurs patients vers d'autres professionnels.Ce guide aborde les nombreux obstacles que les praticiens rencontrent lorsqu'ils abordent la question du poids et propose des stratégies pour les contourner et les surmonter. Il accompagne les cliniciens pas à pas dans l’acquisition des concepts et compétences nécessaires à mener une discussion qui conduira à améliorer la santé du patient. Chaque chapitre fournit des outils et informations sur la manière de faire habilement progresser une conversation, de façon respectueuse. Des cas cliniques réels fournissent des exemples de conversations courtes et concrètes qui intègrent ces outils dans la pratique clinique. De nombreux praticiens sont conscients de l'importance d'aborder la question du poids avec leurs patients, mais ne se sentent pas suffisamment préparés pour le faire. Beaucoup n’ont pas été formés à la question de l'obésité, ni à la meilleure manière d’en parler et n'ont que peu d'accès à la formation continue. Sans les connaissances et compétences nécessaires pour aborder une conversation constructive, beaucoup évitent le sujet, ce qui impacte négativement la santé des personnes souffrant d'obésité et de pré-obésité. Le suivi et le traitement de cette pathologie donnant de bons résultats, il est impératif que les praticiens soient capables d'aborder cette question en connaissance de cause et avec sensibilité. A ce titre, ce guide pratique comble cette lacune.
Guide pratique pour les coureurs débutants
by Chimène Elessa Atletismo ArjonaToute expérimentation suppose une nouveauté. Décider d’aller courir pour la première fois peut devenir la nouveauté la plus marquante de votre vie impliquant la première fois que vous portez des chaussures neuves ou alors une expérience que vous ne renouvellerez jamais. Ce qui peut faire la différence est l’hypothèse que le jour où vous vous êtes entraîné, ces chaussures vous ont gêné et ont attiré votre attention négativement à cause de la douleur terrible qu’elles ont occasionnée, ou si cette fois-là, au contraire, vous avez relevé brillamment votre défi avec elles. Tout comme les chaussures, marcher ne s’apprend pas dans un livre plein d’instructions. Vous apprenez, vous mémorisez et vous retenez pour toujours. Ensuite, vous osez courir ou on vous oblige à le faire. Il y a toujours une première fois pour tout et, dans de nombreux cas, il n’y a pas de manuel technique pour vous aider. C’est dans cet esprit qu’est né ce manuel qui empile les expériences que Juan Carlos Arjona a sélectionnées afin que votre première sortie avec des vêtements et des chaussures de sport devienne un souvenir durable. Ce manuel énumère les erreurs que vous pouvez éviter, les conseils que vous devez suivre, les recommandations que vous devez retenir et les astuces que vous devez garder en tête. Tout au long de ses 30 chapitres, il vous exposera ce qui vous sera le plus utile et ce qui est indispensable pour que vous évoluiez en tant que coureur. Juan Carlos Arjona connaît et comprend l’athlétisme. Il vous fera découvrir les éléments importants que vous devez maîtriser pour que ces derniers ne deviennent pas des points faibles comme l’irritation causée par les chaussures neuves. En tant qu’entraîneur, l’auteur connaît bien son métier et il vous conduira tout au long d’un guide direct et sincère. Il vous suffit d’avoir un objectif, une bonne raison de tout laisser de côté pour aller courir comme si c’ét
