Hand Down, Man Down by Fadi Jolag Pdf

Nobody is exempt from struggles and challenges in life. To mature and grow personally and in our faith, we need to embrace difficult circumstances and situations, viewing them as opportunities to witness God’s unending faithfulness and love. In the game of basketball, players struggle with anxiety, tough competition, and physical and psychological challenges. Ultimately, however, the value of the game isn’t determined by who wins or loses, but by how much players grow from the challenges they face. When you put your heart and soul into each play, you can’t help but be a winner! Life is no different. When storms arise and we feel that God has forgotten about us, we need to stick to our faith and believe that He will finish what He started. These struggles test and strengthen our faith, and when we put our hearts and souls into serving our great God, we will be victorious! We need to face everything head on and lean on Christ to guide us in the path that He has created for us. A powerful use of a great sport as an analogy for the Christian life, Hand Down, Man Down will inspire readers of all ages.

Drag the Man Down by Gregory Payette Pdf

When the drinks are flowing and the money’s good, crime is one temptation George Sisco finds hard to resist... After three years behind bars in a Rhode Island state prison, all George wants is to live a somewhat normal life. Maybe he'll meet a nice girl...open the restaurant he always talked about in the yard. But after a couple of beers and a half bottle of bourbon, George heads out in the middle of the night and breaks into a local boxer’s home. He walks out six minutes later with a championship belt and a box full of cash he found bolted to the bottom of the bed. When he meets Sam, a pretty waitress working her way through school at the diner, George promises himself he's done with crime...and the only life he's known will be a thing of the past. If it were only so easy… The floodgates open when George runs into some old friends. Violence and double-crossing follow when a simple plan goes a little too far. And every move they make drags them deeper into a hole they can't seem to escape. With the cops on their tail, it’ll take everything George has to find a way out of a bad situation that only gets worse... But what if one more crime's the answer?

Anticipation and Decision Making in Sport by A. Mark Williams,Robin C. Jackson Pdf

The ability to anticipate and make accurate decisions in a timely manner is fundamental to high-level performance in sport. This is the first book to identify the underlying science behind anticipation and decision making in sport, enhancing our scientific understanding of these phenomena and helping practitioners to develop interventions to facilitate the more rapid acquisition of the perceptual-cognitive skills that underpin these judgements. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach — encompassing research from psychology, biomechanics, neuroscience, physiology, computing science, and performance analysis — the book is divided into three sections. The first section provides a comprehensive analysis of the processes and mechanisms underpinning anticipation and skilled perception in sport. In the second section, the focus shifts towards exploring the science of decision making in sport. The final section is more applied, outlining how the key skills that impact on anticipation and decision making may be facilitated through various training interventions. With chapters written by leading experts from a vast range of countries and continents, no other book offers such a synthesis of the historical development of the field, contemporary research, and future areas for investigation in anticipation and decision making in sport. This is a fascinating and important text for students and researchers in sport psychology, skill acquisition, expert performance, motor learning, motor behaviour, and coaching science, as well as practicing coaches from any sport.

But we're still talking about professionals, right?

The 5-Year Plan: The Nets' Tumultuous Journey from New Jersey to Brooklyn by Greg Hrinya Pdf

The New Jersey Nets were mired in mediocrity when an international man of mystery emerged from the shadows. Russian multibillionaire Mikhail Prokhorov came bearing two gifts: a bottomless wallet and a passion for basketball. In return for his money, he expected everybody associated with the team -- management, players, ball boys -- to commit to success . . . and achieve it within five years. But the Nets required more than money to change their fortunes. They needed shrewd decision makers, brilliant minds, and the most physically gifted players in the world. Instead, as Prokhorov's thirst for instant gratification spiraled out of control, management turned losing into an art form, dangling perfectly good players as trade bait, kowtowing to their stars, and alienating an entire state. The fallout on the court and in the locker room produced, if not a winning team, the most interesting basketball story not yet told.
