Soccer in Mind by Andrew M. Guest Pdf

From the FIFA World Cup to pick-up games at your local park, soccer is the closest thing in our world to a universal entertainment. Many writers use this global popularity to describe the game’s winners and losers, but what happens when we use social science to explore how soccer intersects with culture, society, and the self? This book provides a thinking fan’s guide to the world’s most popular game, proposing a way of engaging soccer that sparks intellectual curiosity and employs critical consciousness. Using stories and data, along with ideas from sociology, psychology, and across the social sciences, it provides readers with new ways of understanding fanaticism, peak performance, talent development, and more. Drawing on concepts ranging from cognitive bias to globalization, it illuminates meanings of the game for players and fans while investigating impacts on our lives and communities. While it considers soccer cultures across the globe, the book also analyzes what makes U.S. soccer culture special, including its embrace of the women’s game. As a scholar, former minor league player and coach, and fan, Andrew Guest offers a distinctive perspective on soccer in society. Whatever name you call it, and whatever your interest in it, Soccer in Mind will enrich your own view of the one truly global game.

Soccer Talisman by Martin Alongamoh,Njoh Sone Pdf

This magic book details what most coaches don't teach in order to help open doors for pro careers: mental training, the specific needs at each position in the field, and what scouts want to see at tryouts. The author has bundled these useful resources for young players and parents looking to benefit from their time and dollars invested in soccer, most importantly if they are learning in North America. This book has a breakdown of simple lessons to survive at the grass-roots level. It's for players looking for fast improvement of skills and increased game awareness, and helps them to understand commitment, confidence, hard work, and discipline. It teaches young players how to regulate their emotions and manage their thoughts in a positive manner in all circumstances, to create room for opportunities. This Soccer Talisman guide contains ex-pro players' stories of difficulties and success that help create an environment to let young athletes stay hungry, build strong mental strength-which is about finding the courage to live according to soccer values-and be bold enough to create a name for themselves in soccer, even with average skills. Those who have played before you have proven that the psychological side of soccer is the key to success. This is complex and hard to teach for coaches, but easily developed with Soccer Talisman at home. It's the most needed skill of your game, because it creates self-belief. Without a growth mindset, your years of practicing soccer will end in failure. The author also includes successful parent practices and rules that coaches can't fill in; some nutrition tips; ideas on how to avoid dishonest, incompetent individuals at the development level; and where to find scouting/tryout opportunities that can lead you to a pro career or a college scholarship. Conviction requires courage, and that's what Soccer Talisman is all about. It's a key that unlocks solutions and provides detailed ways to get over most of the hurdles that stop prospective young soccer players from progressing when coaches can't help. It's made for life and sport-enjoy it!

Soccer, the Left, & the Farce of Multiculturalism by John Pepple Pdf

Soccer is the world's most popular sport, which makes it the most multicultural of sports. From this it should follow that the multicultural movement here in America would strongly support soccer. But instead of embracing the sport of the "Other," the movement has ignored sports, and while younger multiculturalists may be soccer fans, the older ones have generally clung to America's own sports. Soccer in America has ended up being a sport for those in the middle or even on the right rather than for those on the left. The people who show up at soccer games include fraternity jocks, sorority girls and members of the military, none of whom are thought of as multiculturalist or open-minded by those on the left. This book is about sports in America and the rest of the world. The many topics it explores include soccer's place in the world, a comparison of the sports environments in America and England, a critical examination of America's sports, the history of prejudice against soccer in America, and the failure of many of America's leftists to overcome that prejudice.
