Book
Softcover. Condition: Good. Edition Unstated. This book details how sport can help students learn fair play, leadership and "followership" skills, and self-responsibility in addition to becoming competent players. And it shows physical educators how to implement effective sport education programs within their physical education classes to achieve these goals.In Sport Education, world-renowned sport pedagogist Daryl Siedentop explains his innovative Sport Education Model and provides school-tested, ready-to-use plans for applying the model to specific sports and fitness activities.Part I describes the Sport Education Model and the curriculum and instructional methods used to implement it. Part II presents many examples of how the model has been used effectively in school settings. Each example features complete descriptions of program planning and procedures--readers can begin using the models immediately for successful results.The examples demonstrate that students in effective sport education programs not only become skillful in game play, they also become more enthusiastic participants, learn fair play, learn to perform competently in other areas of sport (such as managing, refereeing, and scorekeeping), learn self-responsibility, and become better equipped to function as both leaders and team players.Plus, sport education programs help low-skilled students, and those who tend not to participate, to become active and valued team members.Part III explains methods of evaluation and assessment. A special chapter shows how the Sport Education Model can be used to develop an "Olympic" curriculum that incorporates the global education, multicultural education, and personal development goals of Olympism and provides a unifying theme for the sport education program.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1. Athletes, fans, coaches, and sport psychologists all know the power of self-efficacy in sport. With this new book, students, researchers, and practitioners now have a go-to reference on efficacy research packed with psychological strategies for helping athletes, teams, and coaches overcome specific weaknesses. Self-Efficacy in Sport-the first book devoted entirely to this important topic-compiles over 30 years of burgeoning self-efficacy research into a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis.Self-Efficacy in Sport is written by Dr. Deborah Feltz, who has spent more than 30 years researching the relationship between efficacy and performance in sport. The book is coauthored by two of Feltz's prominent former students who have established research careers in their own right. The book introduces theory-based and research-tested guidelines and recommendations for designing, implementing, and evaluating interventions to improve self-efficacy, yet it remains easy for readers to find research and interventions that fit their needs. An annotated bibliography allows readers to quickly and critically evaluate all the self-efficacy research cited in the book, which prevents this text from becoming simply a long literature review. Practitioners will be able to put research into practice to serve clients, and students and researchers will be challenged to think critically about the subject and chart the course for new directions in research.The clearly organized reference breaks down self-efficacy research and implementation into three key areas: individual athletes, teams, and coaches. Part I examines the conceptual nature of efficacy beliefs and their place in sport psychology. Part II explains what is known about self-efficacy, collective efficacy, and coaching efficacy-and why they are vital in sport. Part III translates research into strategy by offering practical advice for efficacy interventions, and it summarizes current critical issues and focuses on future directions.Self-Efficacy in Sport contains the following unique features that will engage readers in the material:-Chapter summaries tie content together and reinforce the real-world application of concepts.-A comprehensive annotated bibliography of influential research studies guides readers in further study and provides a background for important research.-A chapter on future directions of study ensures readers are up to date on established topics and emerging trends.Self-Efficacy in Sport is a must-have reference for researchers as well as students and instructors in this evolving area. Practitioners will be able to use the information, especially the direct applications, to discover research that translates into strategy.

Hardcover. Condition: used. Author Vladimir M. Zatsiorsky, a world-renowned sport biomechanist and former strength and conditioning consultant for the Soviet Union Olympic teams, knows that strength training is more than pumping iron. In Science and Practice of Strength Training he examines strength from a biomechanical and physiological perspective. He shows strength and conditioning professionals and coaches how to use basic scientific principles to improve muscular strength in their athletes.Zatsiorsky begins by discussing training theory and the biomechanical and physiological factors that determine muscle strength. Next, he shows readers how to apply this information to strength training programs by using data gathered from the training logs of more than 1,000 elite Eastern European Olympic and world-class athletes.The book also covers factors in exercise selection, injury prevention, goal-setting, the controversial topic of periodization (timing in training), and alternative exercises for strength enhancement.
