Download or read book Myths and Facts about Football written by Patric Andersson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10-02 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents accounts of economic and psychological analyses of association football (or “soccer” as it is popularly known in the USA). As football is widely accepted to be the world’s most popular sport, the case for scientific investigation of its characteristics is self-evident. As the contributions to this book demonstrate, the game of football offers an ideal opportunity to empirically investigate a wide range of broad issues, for example: behavioural decision-making; judgmental forecasting; motivation; game-theoretic models of strategic choice; competition and labour markets. Are teams more likely to concede a goal after having just scored? Does the team going first in a penalty shoot-out have an advantage? Should goal-keepers dive or stay put for penalty kicks? Do referees make decisions consistently? Why do fans like their teams? What factors influence the career of footballers? How well can experts predict football matches? How accurate are prediction markets? How does the stock-market react to match outcomes? These questions and others are addressed in this book. A particular focus is the investigation of popular conceptions—and misconceptions—about football. Of interest to psychologists, behavioural economists and football enthusiasts with an analytic approach to understanding the game, this book brings together contributions from a range of academic disciplines and will stimulate further research into football and the intriguing insights into behaviour it offers.

Download or read book Our Sport Brain written by Kris Perquy and published by Publishdrive. This book was released on 2024-06-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Top-level sport is a complex interplay of technique, physical prowess, tactics, and the right mental attitude. Unfortunately, the latter aspect is often overlooked, even though it can determine victory or defeat. Many athletes, their coaches, and sport commentators often don't go beyond a few vague clichés like 'Never change a winning team'. But are these accurate? Mental coaches Eva Maenhout & Kris Perquy dissect the important myths from sport psychology and provide their perspective on the most underestimated aspect of top-level sport. 'Our Sport Brain' provides insight into the athlete's mind in clear language. Can you train for penalties? Can you motivate your team with an inspiring speech? How do you ensure optimal focus? And can a team have too many star players? The insights from the book can be easily transferred to amateur sport, to business life and even to life in general. At the end of the day, everyone is confronted with situations where your mental attitude will make the difference. So it makes sense to learn how you can train your brain to strengthen this attitude. Eva Maenhout & Kris Perquy are sport psychologists. In their sport consultancy practice created in 2008, they support top athletes and coaches to become mentally stronger, and clubs and federations to become psychologically informed. Not only in difficult moments but also when things are going well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what we know about behavior in the sportsworld is hidden away in scientific journals and college textbooks and only occasionally trickles down to the general public. Sport Science Secrets presents the latest and best evidence available and in so doing dispels the mystery and misunderstanding surrounding a wide range of issues. Professor Russell's goal in writing this book is to bridge the gap between the world of sport scientists and those of us who enjoy sports as participants and/or spectators. In short, this book is a must read for those who want to find out what sport scientists know. Arm yourself with the facts!

Download or read book Coaching Myths written by Rick Albrecht and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike the generations of coaches that have gone before them, today's coaches are expected not only to teach motor skills to young athletes but to do so in an environment that is conducive to the ethical, emotional, social and physical well-being of each one of them. Each of the 15 chapters of this book presents, and then systematically debunks, the most pervasive, persistent and potentially harmful myths in coaching, including such chestnuts as "play by my rules," "winning is the ultimate goal" and "there's no I in 'team.'" Although the information in every chapter is based on current scientific evidence (and there are numerous source notes), each is written in the everyday language of coaches and covers topics that are of particular interest to coaches, parents, athletic administrators, recreation programming specialists--and even the occasional fan.

Book excerpt: Sport Psychology, 2nd Edition provides a synthesis of the major topics in sport psychology with an applied focus and an emphasis on achieving optimal performance.

The first of these sections covers topics such as anxiety, routines, mental imagery, self-talk, enhancing concentration, relaxation, goals, and self-confidence. The section on Performance Inhibition includes chapters on choking under pressure, self-handicapping, procrastination, perfectionism, helplessness, substance abuse, and disruptive personality factors. While much of the information presented is universally applicable, individual differences based on gender, ethnicity, age, and motivation are emphasized in the concluding section on Individuals and Teams. Throughout, there are case studies of well-known athletes from a variety of sports to illustrate topics that are being explored.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional intelligence is an important trait for success at work. IQ tests are biased against minorities. Every child is gifted. Preschool makes children smarter. Western understandings of intelligence are inappropriate for other cultures. These are some of the statements about intelligence that are common in the media and in popular culture. But none of them are true. In the Know is a tour of the most common incorrect beliefs about intelligence and IQ. Written in a fantastically engaging way, each chapter is dedicated to correcting a misconception and explains the real science behind intelligence. Controversies related to IQ will wither away in the face of the facts, leaving readers with a clear understanding about the truth of intelligence.
