Must Read for the Athletic Administrator

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!

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.

The book offers a great read on the history of intercollegiate athletics. The specific stories about universities and conferences allow the reader to connect to what is current in the world of college athletics. It is gives a good story of what was going on behind the scenes. It is a good book for policies concerning college athletics.

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.

The Foods God Has Given Us

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.

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.
