Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a great team? Sports journalist Peggy Shinn answers this question in her enthralling account of the dramatic rise of the U.S. women's cross-country ski team, winners of eight medals at three world championships over the past five years. Shinn's story - based on dozens of interviews with athletes, coaches, parents, spouses, and friends - paints a vivid picture of the obstacles that America's female athletes must overcome not just to ski with the world's best, but to beat them. In a sport where U.S. women have toiled for decades, mostly in the middle or the back of the pack, the development of a world-class team attests to the heady combination of a transformational leader, a coach who connects with his athletes, the super-fast individual skiers who are also conscientious teammates - and a bit of good luck. This is the story of Kikkan Randall, Liz Stephen, Holly Brooks, Jessie Diggins, Ida Sargent, Sadie Bjornsen, Sophie Caldwell, Rosie Brennan, and coach Matt Whitcomb - and how they created the perfect team.

Download or read book Analysis of a Periodized Mental Skills Delivery Model for the USSA Cross-country National Development Ski Team written by Shannon Von Guenthner and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mental skills training (MST) programs have received considerable support for effectiveness in enhancing sport performance in athletes (Greenspan & Feltz, 1989; Vealey, 1994). A consensus among the literature indicates the need for more controlled studies investigating different and more systematic methods of implementation, especially the use of idiographic designs (Weinberg & Gould, 1999; Weinberg & Williams, 1993; Balague, 1999). The primary purpose of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate a mental skills training program for elite cross-country ski racers in a case-by case fashion. This study also serves as an empirical test of a recently developed method of program delivery by utilizing mental skills "menu" approach (Hammermeister, 2000) within a periodized format of mental training (Burton, Hammermeister, Holliday, & Naylor, 2000). This delivery model was also selected to address a request from the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) for more open coach/consultant communication and for evidence of measurable effects from psychology services. Six members of the USSA Cross Country National Developmental Group (NDG) participated in a comprehensive mental skills intervention. This intervention included an 8 week educational phase followed by the development and implementation of a periodized individual mental training program based on the unique needs of each athlete (Hammermeister, 2000). Pre- and post-intervention testing utilizing the Test of Performance Strategies (TOPS; Thomas, Murphy & Hardy, 1999), the Trait Sport Confidence Inventory (TSCI; Vealy, 1986), the Competitive Orientation Inventory (COl: Vealy, 1986), and the Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS; Smith, Smoll, & Schultz, 1990) were used to evaluate program effectiveness. Single-subject pre and post-test analysis of treatment effect for each individual indicated enhanced psychological skill knowledge and usage across all athletes. Increases in both task and ego motivation were found to be a trend among the athletes. Improved sport confidence and decreases in the somatic, cognitive, and concentration disruption components of the SAS were found in five of the six athletes. Furthermore, feedback given by the NDG athletes and coaches indicated a preference for this type of delivery format. These positive results provide evidence for the usefulness of a psychological skills menu approach to a periodized model of mental training for elite ski racers"--Document.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SUNDAY TIMES HUMOUR BOOK OF THE YEAR 'One of the few books to make me laugh out loud' Sunday Express With Stephen Pile's The Ultimate Book of Heroic Failures, celebrate the very best in failure with this all new collection of outrageously funny misadventures from the author of the classic number one bestseller The Book of Heroic Failures. Anyone can be a success, but it takes real and original genius to foul up big time. These are the all-time greats, Gods in the field of failure, surreal artists, who spurn mere drab success ('I'm a winner, Lord Sugar') to explore the vast, magical, life-enhancing possibilities of getting it wrong. Any of us could make a mistake, but these great souls can turn the simplest everyday task into a scene of jaw-dropping wonder. These are the immortals. Failure is everywhere. The Book of Heroic Failures, takes us on an all-new and mind-bendingly hilarious tour to celebrate the most spectacular and absurd failures of the last twenty-five years. There are 235 stories in total spread from the Outer Hebrides to America, Ireland, Australia, Europe and Africa. From the most driving test failures (959), the most pointless election (in Dakota, in which not even the mayor voted), the worst robbery (when two different sets of bank robbers struck simultaneously) and the worst mugger (who left his victim $250 better off), to the holidaying rugby team of fifty-somethings from Dorchester who, due to a mis-translation, ended up playing the top team from Romania live on state TV, this is the ultimate book to make you feel better about yourself and the world around you.
