Hall of Famer Pete Newell -- who coached the University of California to an NCAA championship in 1959 and the U.S. Olympic team to gold the following year -- explains winning individual and team defenses. He also examines the best defensive teams he has seen over time and points out what they have done to dominate other teams and stop their offenses. -- Coaches and players at all levels can gain insight into defensive play through Pete Newell's extensive knowledge and experience -- Defensive plays are concisely explained and fully illustrated with photos and diagrams -- Newell is a basketball legend and has been a championship coach at the college and the Olympic levels

An All-American Murder
Author: John Oller
Publisher: John Oller
ISBN: 1631732765
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
On a hot summer day in 1975, 14-year-old Christie Lynn Mullins left her neighborhood swimming pool with a friend, supposedly to attend a "cheerleading contest" behind a shopping center in Columbus, Ohio. Less than an hour later, she was found brutally beaten to death in the nearby woods. The neighborhood man who reported discovering her body was thought by many to be the true killer, but was never charged. Instead, the crime was pinned on a passive drifter with an IQ of 50, who confessed after six hours of interrogation. Two years later he was acquitted following a dramatic, Perry Mason-like trial full of surprise witnesses and testimony. "An All-American Murder," by lawyer and journalist John Oller, is the story of a homicide that rocked the city of Columbus, Ohio nearly 40 years ago and remains unsolved to this day. Despite widespread belief that the original police investigation was flawed, law enforcement authorities never actively pursued this alternate suspect and refuse to discuss the case today. Friends, neighbors, and classmates of the victim, as well her family, firmly believe that justice was not done and that this "cold case" should be reopened. "An All-American Murder" has been described as "a tragic, fascinating story well-told," and "an exceptionally well written, insightful look into the angst that people can carry for decades when the criminal justice system is unable/unwilling to provide closure." Perhaps with the benefit of this book, closure will finally be obtained.

Book Description
In the fĂștbol world Pep Guardiola is considered as the coach who comes up with the best ideas for his teams to play an aesthetically quality attacking game with great results.However, having studied his training methods both at Barcelona and Bayern Munich, I am convinced the structured approach his technical staff uses to implement his ideas doesn't really reflect his genius. In my opinion Tactical Periodization is the appropriate methodology to implement Pep's ideas which is my intention to demonstrate throughout this book. As you may recall the principles of Tactical Periodization were detailed in my previous book ('Tactical Periodization: A Practical Application for the Game Model of the FC Bayern Munich of Jupp Heynckes (2011-2013)') which are needed to understand the advance training thoughts herein discussed.
