Book Description
By law you will need a seatbelt to read this book, but, by the grace of Jesus Christ, you can leave it off! With all of the end time talk these days it can almost make you want to give up. Maybe it's time to stop listening to what everyone is saying and see what the Word of God has been saying without contradiction for thousands of years. Inside this book we will take a step by step walk through the windows of time and learn why many predictions that have been made were never even possible to take place until now. With scripture after scripture you will see where we are on God's Clock and be able to stand firm on God's Word and NOT be shaken by others opinions ever again. I feel certain that even many believers will find this information astonishing and after a close study of the scriptures they will know that only a True and Living God could have provided His People with such an accurate road map in time. Amos 3:7 Suerly the LORD God will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. Ken Ayers grew up in Charles County Maryland durring a time when it was quite different than what it is today. Although for many years he had no relationship with the LORD and lived a life that was far from that of a Christian, when the time was right he found that the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is still faithful to answer all of those that will call on His Name in their time of need. Psalm 34:6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. May the LORD bless you and keep you!

Kettlebell Sport a Training Methodology Tutorial by Denis Vasilev Second Edition Revised and Updated
Author: Denis Vasilev
Publisher: Denis Vasilev
ISBN:
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
The methodology I present in this book is the result of many years of work. It was first published in 2015 as part of my university thesis and only contained 47 pages. What you currently hold in your hands is the updated and expanded second edition. Where the first edition sought topresent a general description of the most modern and effective training methods for kettlebell sport, this current edition now provides the specific details of each of these training methods. Each topic is described in depth with accompanying graphics and illustrations that are meant to serve as an additional learning aid. Also included in this second edition are ready-to-implement beginner training programs for all three kettlebell sport exercises (Jerk, Snatch, and Long Cycle). I've also added advanced training program templates based on my most successful training cycles during my competitive career. Another significant addition is that I've divided this book into two main parts. Part I tackles the nuts and bolts of programming, beginning with a brief history of how the modern training methods came to be. It also outlines the general training principles that underlie a rational kettlebell sport program. Afterwards, I discuss in-depth the actual methodology I use for constructing and arranging the different training elements. By the end of this section, you will be able to form a coherent and logical kettlebell sport program that you can use in your own training. Part II contains an elaborate self-analysis of my own results during my career and is aimed to provide the reader with a general impression of how I applied my methodology to my own lifting. My hope is that my reflections can serve as a useful example of how you can analyze your own progress so that you can make better decisions that will improve your chances of success in kettlebell sport. The intention of this book is to provide you with all the basic tools and foundational knowledge that will allow you to create a personalized and effective kettlebell sport program for yourself and for your students.

Pages : 622
Book Description
History was made on November 22 2003 - England was crowned the World Champion. Everything was ready for rugby to explode in England, for the national team to kick-on, for the level of the domestic game to continue growing and for the sport to truly become prominent nationwide. It did not eventuate. England lost far too many matches and the Aviva Premiership does not match the French Top 14. The result for Rugby World Cup 2015 is a match schedule allocating more games to Wales than to the north of England. Understanding how this came about and also how and why Wales secured matches is an important part of the puzzle and carries substantial implications for future Rugby World Cups. Local and global issues including decision making, rival sports and nationalized players are all tackled in an analysis that seeks to offer realistic and viable solutions for the benefit of English and global rugby.

The 1960s in Sports
Author: Miles Coverdale Jr.
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1538135655
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
This book includes the most significant sporting events of the 1960s, covering all the moments that generated tremendous growth in professional and college sports in America during this decade. It features stories such as Roger Maris breaking Babe Ruth’s home run record, Wilt Chamberlain scoring 100 points, and Muhammad Ali beating Sonny Liston. Sports became a national obsession in the 1960s as people tuned in on their new televisions to watch the exploits of some of the most legendary athletes and teams in history. It was the decade of Mickey Mantle, Jim Brown, Bill Russell, Bobby Hull, and Arnold Palmer, the decade when the Celtics dominated basketball, Joe Namath delivered on his Super Bowl guarantee, and the Miracle Mets won the World Series. In The 1960s in Sports: A Decade of Change, Miles Coverdale looks back at what was arguably the greatest decade in sports history, when the sports world of today began to take shape during a very tumultuous period of American history. At the start of the decade, thirteen years after Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, major league rosters were still populated mostly by white Americans. The NFL and NBA were struggling financially and were much less popular than college football and basketball. The Olympics were still open only to amateur athletes. But the sports landscape changed dramatically in the 1960s. Coverdale traces this development by covering the significant events and iconic players of the decade, including stars such as Sandy Koufax, Johnny Unitas, Bobby Orr, and Jack Nicklaus. There were great teams and incredible rivalries, and professional and college sports alike expanded and thrived. Featuring over 70 photos of legendary athletes and memorable moments, The 1960s in Sports transports the reader back to a golden age in sports. With additional coverage of important historical events such as the Cold War, Vietnam, and the Civil Rights Movement, this book also reveals how social and political events impacted the sports world, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in this significant decade.

Battling the Blues
Author: Darius Boyd
Publisher: Hachette Australia
ISBN: 073364578X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
'A legend of the game' - Anthony Seibold 'He's a player that never lets his team down' - Billy Slater Darius Boyd broke into the Brisbane Broncos NRL team in 2006 straight out of high school and was part of the premiership-winning team in his debut season. He'd go on to win another premiership with the Dragons in 2010, claiming the Clive Churchill Medal for man of the match and forever stamping his name as an elite champion of the game. He has played 28 State of Origins for Queensland and taken the field in 23 Tests for Australia - never playing in a losing Australian team. In 15 seasons at the top level, Darius has won nearly every honour the sport can award and is undeniably an NRL great. But listing statistics, awards and premierships doesn't reveal the battles that Darius Boyd has faced off the field. A teenager with a troubled background, he started his career with innate footy talent but also the emotional baggage of an unknown father, the devastating loss of loved ones, and a mother who was walking a mental health tightrope herself, which as a kid he didn't understand. As his talent shone on the field and his profile increased, Darius struggled. Hiding years of depression and unhappiness, playing footy was his escape. But no one can run from themselves forever. The horrific spinal injury to good mate and Newcastle Knights teammate Alex McKinnon was the catalyst that finally broke Darius. Realising he needed help for his anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts, he turned his back on football, checked into a mental health facility and began to mend his life and himself. Now, as he heads into retirement, Darius Boyd is sharing his story, to celebrate his triumphs on the field but, more importantly for him, revealing how to deal with depression, overcome adversity and live with mental illness. He reflects on excerpts from his private journal which charted his journey from the depths of despair to a life of gratitude. It is a heartfelt message he now takes across the NRL and into boardrooms, schools and footy clubs in a quest to keep our young men alive. BATTLING THE BLUES is a raw, honest and inspiring memoir that takes us into the heart of an NRL champion and his fight to conquer his demons and live a better life.

Ultra Performance
Author: Paul Moore
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1472900502
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
The world's leading endurance athletes are not only some of the fittest people on the planet, they are also among the toughest mentally. To train and race at the highest level of competition over hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of miles takes preparation, dedication and the ability to push the body and mind beyond conventional limits. Ultra Performance offers an insight into the psychology of these athletes. Having interviewed fourteen ultra athletes, Paul Moore distils the dynamics of the mental toughness they required – the motivation, focus and ability to keep the mind positive deep in the heart of fatigue. What did it take, for instance, for Rachel Cadman to 'eat the elephant' of the Arch to Arc (running from London to Dover, swimming the Channel, then cycling to Paris)? And to win? That takes steeliness beyond all mere effort, pushing through and improvising when necessary. The stories of these hard-fought wins feature strongly in the contributions from Brett Sutton, world-renowned triathlon coach, and Craig Alexander, one of the greatest athletes in the history of Ironman. Others, like Dee Cafari, the first woman to circumnavigate the world solo in both directions, required the resilience to overcome challenges they had set themselves. With working examples of the implementation of their mental strategies, Ultra Performance not only gives an insight into the toughest moments these professional athletes have ever faced, but also offers advice to readers on how they can adapt and employ these techniques for themselves, often to the non-sporting pursuits of everyday life.
