How the Race Was Won by Peter Cossins Pdf

Great cyclists are born, but winning cyclists are made by the brains of their managers. The craft of racing requires a non-stop obsession with detail: watching rivals, judging the strength of a break, knowing the course, and picking the right moment to seize a fleeting opportunity and turn it into a big win.How the Race Was Won investigates the fine details of bicycle racing through extensive interviews with the sport’s brightest minds. Author Peter Cossins has interrogated the riders, managers, and directors who have shaped the sport, and reveals how they learned to navigate the invisible undercurrent that sweeps their riders to the finish line.From the moment when George Pilkington Mills was paced to victory by a wily teammate in the 1891 edition of Bordeaux–Paris to Chris Froome’s modern emphasis on marginal gains, How the Race Was Won embraces the full sweep of cycling history, making stops along the way to analyze how tactics first evolved and how today’s winning minds continue to build on what came before.Behind every great cyclist is a race wizard reading the race, watching the rivals, outwitting the competition, and anticipating the one perfect moment to launch a rider to victory. How the Race Was Won is a thrilling and unprecedented look at how victory is won, how rivals are vanquished, and how pure speed can only prevail when supported by deep brainpower.

How The Race Was Won by Matthew Dobson Pdf

They say that Disney World is the place where dreams come true. For the author of this book, that was certainly the case! His life had been a series of stepping stones to get him to the height of American distance running. It started with a foot race on the playground in elementary school that resulted with him being tabbed the fastest boy in his class. The pressure to stay competitive and keep winning carried over into high school and eventually as a scholarship runner in college. "How the Race Was Won" is the true life story of the first and only American to win the Walt Disney World Marathon. After reading this book, a person will learn how to draw strength from their personal experiences to reach the destiny that is waiting for them. This book suggests that we are a product of our environment. And that collectively, the power of everything good, bad, and ugly in one's life can be converted into the very thing that turns hopeful passion into triumphant promises. The author gives a sentimental and adventurous account of how to win one of America's biggest marathon races. As a result, what the reader discovers is the practicality of how a person, when committed to a task, can achieve things that were at one time only a dream to them.

The Black President by Claude A. Clegg III Pdf

"With lively prose and sensitivity to context, this book offers a sweeping, authoritative history of the Obama presidency, focusing particularly on its impact and meaning vis-áa-vis African Americans. This interpretative account captures the America that made Obama's White House years possible, while at the same time rendering the America that resolutely resisted the idea of a Black chief executive, thus making conceivable the ascent of his most unlikely of successors"--

The Athlete Apperception Technique by Petah M. Gibbs,Mark B. Andersen,Daryl B. Marchant Pdf

As the field of sport psychology has matured, so a greater appreciation for a diversity of training models, research methodologies, and therapeutic approaches, opposed to the dominant models of objective testing, has developed. The Athlete Apperception Technique (AAT) sets out a sport-specific projective test for practitioners working in sport and exercise service delivery or counselling work with athletes and coaches. This innovative book includes a basic primer on projective methods and the psychoanalytic theory behind them; a history of projective, storytelling instruments in clinical psychology; the development of the image set for the AAT; some examples of interpreting AAT image stories; instructions for the administration of the AAT; a scoring guide for the stories produced; and in-depth descriptions of the stimulus properties of each image in the AAT, along with all images presented as full-page illustrations. The AAT will help sport practitioners identify and assess personality features, relationships, anxieties, achievement, motivation, and perfectionism, and augment the recent shift in orientation for service delivery to athletes and provide a more in-depth understanding of athletes’ characters. The AAT is useful supplementary reading for students of sport psychology and a novel tool for any practicing sport psychologist.
