Athletics Books

I've found this book great. Keyshawn has been trhough many ups and downs and he pours out his life's experiences and insights on 10 keys for succes.

His direct and clear keys have already helped me in my daily life. Now all I have to do is continue with the exercises both mental and phisical.

I already feel more positive and energetic.

Thanks Keyshawn

Its hard to believe that an athletic program in the Big 10 conference was close to bankrupcy in 1990. Lackluster performance on the field and poor fiscal responsibility led the Badgers to the edge of financial ruin.
What turned this program around? It depends on who you ask. Rick Telander (a senior Sports Illustrated writer) lays out the many complexities involved in the decisions made that not only returned Bucky and the UW athletic department to economic solviency, but to the Rose Bowl.

Anyone who coaches or is an athletic administrator should read this book. There are lessons to be learned for coaches and AD's at every level.

You can usually find this book for under at Amazon or any used bookstore in your area. It's worth that much just for the story about the fundraising golf tournament UW hosted and LOST money!

I have enjoyed reading the book and it has shown me some fundamentals of exercise that I had forgotten. I enjoy the descriptions of the exercises and the muscle groups working. overall I am quite pleased with this book and use it to show me how to do the exercises properly.

For anyone interested in fishing from the beach, this book is a must-have. It's more of a pamphlet, really, with not a lot of detailed information, but all the basics are covered plainly and simply. The sport has changed plenty since this was published, but the basics remain the same. Save yourself hours of scanning the internet and posting questions by reading this pamphlet, which lives up to it's title.

Part memoir, part history of a sports legend, Generations A's Fans: A Family's Long Love Affair with One of Baseballs Best Teams is the tale of the Oakland A's and the Marquez/Martinez family, as told by Don Marquez, Sr. The author was intimately familiar with the ballpark, and every member of his family had a tale to tell about the A's. Generation A's Fans speaks of major events from when Jose Canseco struck out 175 times in 1986 to when the team made a breakthrough win in the 2006 playoffs. A heartwarming tale of sports fandom and family togetherness, illustrated with black-and-white photographs and often told directly in the words of individual Marquez/Martinez family members.

George Seward is credited with a running the 100 yards in an unbelievable 9 1/4 seconds way back in 1844. Some historians dismiss this time because it was too fast; it was not bettered for nearly 100 years. While Ed Sears has no definitive proof to confirm the mark, he builds a strong convicing case that Seward could have done it. He also writes about Seward's life and running career. It is a very well researched book that will appeal to all sports fans, not just track/running fans. Sears also devotes a chapter to professional running in the 19th century to help the reader get a better understanding of how this sport was done 150 years ago. Just like his first book, Running Through The Ages, Sears does a masterful job of compiling Seward's performances and telling stories about his life. I highly recommend this book!

This book is great. Ian covers a lot of ground about exercise and gives you a great training routine which will add muscle and shed fat with NO CARDIO! I gained weight while I lost fat around my waist! This is by far one of my best and favorite workout plans and books. A great book for anyone interested in getting in looking better and getting stronger! My deadlift went from 250lbs to 345lbs, my squat went from 205lbs to 250lbs! I was very happy with the results from this book!

I've started looking over this book and Gary Barber has done a great job of capturing what is really needed with starting kids in athletics. Far too man of the "coaches" kids encounter today are ready to have them go pro at any cost.

Gary has done a great job at putting forward the development and making it fun. Assuring that the childs experience is rewarding yet still providing the desire to go higher. A very good piece of work, you should adapt it to the baseball, football and soccer coaches as well.

This is a really good book if you want a deep look into Georgia Football history. Stegeman did his homework. I highly recommend this book and "A Tailgater's Guide To SEC Football" for any serious Georgia or SEC enthusiasts.

This book covers just about everything and anything you ever wanted to know about what foods are healthiest to eat, and more importantly, the foods that God has given us to eat and enjoy. I love how the author uses scripture references and empirical studies to show benefits and health risks of various foods. Throughout the book he lists the healthiest foods, which has helped me develop my own nutrional program; I'm much more knowledgable now about why some foods are healthier than others. I highly recommend this book for anyone wanting more knowledge and guidance on what should and shouldn't be the staples in a healthy diet.
