Effective Coaching in Strength and Conditioning: Pathways to Superior Performance
by Ian JeffreysThis book takes a radically different approach to the challenge of coaching in strength and conditioning. In doing so, it addresses many of the paradoxes of strength and conditioning, providing new perspectives that shed light on to the many questions that challenge coaches. Rather than focusing on methods, it delves into the questions of what makes a coach effective. It examines the conditions that are necessary for training applications to become optimal, and the skills necessary to create these conditions. It provides coaches with a flexible pathway towards understanding the challenges of strength and conditioning and by which they can develop the craft of coaching to maximise their effectiveness and potential. The book is essential reading for anyone wishing to pursue a career as a strength and conditioning coach, acting essentially as a prequel to the many scientific and applied texts in the field. It will also appeal to more experienced coaches providing a wider perspective on the challenges they face and providing potential solutions not traditionally considered.
Effective Cycling
by John ForesterEffective Cycling is an essential handbook for cyclists from beginner to expert, whether daily commuters or weekend pleasure trippers. This thoroughly updated seventh edition offers cyclists the information they need for riding a bicycle under all conditions: on congested city streets or winding mountain roads, day or night, rain or shine. It describes the sheer physical joy of cycling and provides the nuts-and-bolts details of how to choose a bicycle, maintain it, and use it in the most efficient manner. Effective Cycling covers the bicycle itself, repairs and maintenance, basic and advanced cycling skills, and how traffic is organized. It describes cycling with friends, bicycle tours, increasing physical endurance, racing, and even finding a cyclist as marriage partner. Throughout, author John Forester emphasizes that cyclists should consider themselves drivers of vehicles in traffic. That means obeying the rules of the road, because when all drivers obey the same rules, they don't have collisions. Forester explains why cyclists should not be afraid to cycle in traffic, and he urges them to resist being shunted off into government-sponsored bike paths as if they were incompetent children. Cyclists fare best, he says, when they act and are treated as drivers of vehicles. Effective Cycling will help owners of bicycles dusty from disuse become active cyclists and veteran cyclists improve their techniques and achieve their cycling goals. Each section moves from basic to advanced topics; readers are encouraged get on a bicycle and practice each activity after reading about it.

Egan. El campeón predestinado
by Mauricio SilvaEgan Bernal se convirtió en el ciclista -y deportista- colombiano más importante de todos los tiempos al coronarse campeón del Tour de Francia en el 2019. Este es el relato de su vida y hazaña. Con tan solo 22 años y 192 días, Egan Bernal (de Zipaquirá, Colombia) se convirtió en el corredor más joven en ganar el Tour de Francia después de 110 años y en el primer latinoamericano en conquistarlo. Si Gabriel García Márquez estuviera vivo, seguro se hubiera inspirado en las premoniciones mágicas que rodearon su nacimiento, en la épica de sus hazañas y en el talento y la fortuna que lo han acompañado. Mauricio Silva Guzmán, reconocido periodista colombiano #apasionado por el ciclismo y los deportes en general#, se dio entonces a la tarea de reconstruir la historia del #predestinado#, y lo hizo desde mucho antes de que Bernal cruzara victorioso los Campos Elíseos el 28 de julio de 2019, porque, como algunas de las personas que lo han rodeado en su ascenso por la élite del ciclismo mundial,Silva también predijo que #el primer Tour para Colombia lo ganaría Egan#, y que el zipaquireño, además, sería una inmensa leyenda nacional. Y así fue. Esta es la historia del #Joven Maravilla# que nació para ser campeón.
Eiger Dreams: Ventures Among Men And Mountains
by Jon KrakauerNo one writes about mountaineering and its attendant victories and hardships more brilliantly than Jon Krakauer. In this collection of his finest essays and reporting, Krakauer writes of mountains from the memorable perspective of one who has himself struggled with solo madness to scale Alaska's notorious Devils Thumb. In Pakistan, the fearsome K2 kills thirteen of the world's most experienced mountain climbers in one horrific summer. In Valdez, Alaska, two men scale a frozen waterfall over a four-hundred-foot drop. In France, a hip international crowd of rock climbers, bungee jumpers, and paragliders figure out new ways to risk their lives on the towering peaks of Mont Blanc. Why do they do it? How do they do it? In this extraordinary book, Krakauer presents an unusual fraternity of daredevils, athletes, and misfits stretching the limits of the possible. From the paranoid confines of a snowbound tent, to the thunderous, suffocating terror of a white-out on Mount McKinley, Eiger Dreams spins tales of driven lives, sudden deaths, and incredible victories. This is a stirring, vivid book about one of the most compelling and dangerous of all human pursuits.
Eight Men Out
by Eliot AsinofIn 1919 eight players for the Chicago White Socks conspired with gamblers to fix the World Series. This book relates details of the fix and the aftermath.
Eight Men Out: The Black Sox and the 1919 World Series
by Eliot AsinofA “vividly, excitingly written” classic of baseball history: “The most thorough investigation of the Black Sox scandal on record” (Chicago Tribune).It was “the most gigantic sporting swindle in the history of America”—the 1919 fix of the World Series and attempted cover-up. Eliot Asinof has reconstructed the entire scene-by-scene story of the fantastic scandal in which eight Chicago White Sox players arranged with the nation’s leading gamblers to throw the Series in Cincinnati. Mr. Asinof vividly describes the tense meetings, the hitches in the conniving, the actual plays in which the Series was thrown, the Grand Jury indictment, and the famous 1921 trial. Moving behind the scenes, he perceptively examines the motives and backgrounds of the players and the conditions that made the improbable fix all too possible.Here, too, is a graphic picture of the American underworld that managed the fix, the deeply shocked newspapermen who uncovered the story, and the war-exhausted nation that turned with relief and pride to the Series, only to be rocked by the scandal. Far more than a superbly told baseball story, this is a compelling slice of American history in the aftermath of World War I and at the cusp of the Roaring Twenties.“Dramatic detail . . . an admirable journalistic feat.” —The New York Times“As thrilling as a cops and robbers tome.” —The Boston Globe
