Este libro establece un patrón de conductas técnicas para ser aplicado en el desarrollo de los contenidos técnicos del entrenamiento del portero. Cada parte del libro se dedica a uno de los fundamentos técnicos del portero, desgranando y detallando al máximo las características de cada gesto o acción: defensivos previos, defensivos de recuperación del balón, defensivos de no recuperación del balón, ofensivos e inespecíficos (control, conducción, pase, despeje, cobertura y regate). Se añade, además, una secuencia fotográfica de cada uno de ellos, acompañada por un análisis técnico de su ejecución; estas secuencias se componen de nueve fotografías realizadas desde una perspectiva frontal y otras nueve desde una lateral.

On a trip north Gloria Brennan, Aboriginal activist, meets a bloke who tries to entice her to visit his community. But she wants to know if the road out there is any good. He's puzzled. 'Road? No road,' he says '... no road ... bitumen aaall the way.'. No Road is a seductive mix of storytelling and ideas, and a personal account of travels in outback Australia, Europe, Africa ... and suburban Newtown. Irony and humour invert the usual expectations of a travel book; nobody seems to be going anywhere.

Partiendo del principio de que "lo que no se entrena no se juega" este libro presenta un entrenamiento específico para el puesto de portero. La obra trata desde los aspectos psicológicos hasta las aptitudes, actitudes y gestos técnicos que se deben trabajar en el entrenamiento de los porteros de fútbol base. Se presentan 200 ejercicios prácticos con gráficos explicativos que se han agrupado según los aspectos que más se ejercitan en ellos: calentamiento, abdominales y estiramientos, velocidad, potenciación del salto, salidas, acciones ofensivas, lanzamientos a puerta. También se dedica un capítulo a ejercicios combinados que hacen ejercitar al portero varias destrezas simultáneamente, y otro a ejercicios con el resto del equipo.

In looking at the history of collecting, one may be excused for regarding it as an activity in which, traditionally, women have shown little interest or in which they have not been involved. As the present volume shows, women—particularly aristocratic women—not only resisted this discrimination through the ages, but also built important collections and used them to their own advantage, in order to make statements about their lineage, power, cultural heritage or religious preferences. That is not to say that there was not an increasing number of middle-class women who became draughtswomen, painters and natural scientists and who found it equally beneficial for their chosen profession to collect. In every case, the female collector chose to collect and what to collect; she chose how and where to present the collection and she also decided when to dispose of objects, thereby occasionally taking on a curatorial role. Women have been seen as gatherers of furnishings, jewellery, dress and objects of domestic life. This third volume in the Collecting & Display series of conference proceedings challenges such perceptions through the detailed analysis of different types of collecting by women from the early modern period onwards; it thus seeks to give a voice to a group of important female collectors from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century whose importance for the history of collecting has not yet, or not sufficiently, been acknowledged.

Vicky Lebeau investigates how films use children to probe such themes as sexuality, death, imagination, the terrors of childhood, and hope.

Filling an important gap in performance analysis literature, this book introduces the key concepts and practical applications of performance analysis for team sports. It draws on cutting-edge research to examine individual and collective behaviours across an array of international team sports. Evidencing the close relationship between coaching and performance analysis, it promotes a better understanding of the crucial role of performance analysis in team sports for achieving successful results. This book not only presents a variety of different ways to analyse performance in team sports, but also demonstrates how scientific data can be used to enrich performance analysis. Part one delineates the main guidelines for research in performance analysis, discussing the characteristics of team sports, coaching processes, variables characterizing performance and methods for team member interaction analysis. Part two drills down into performance analysis across a range of team sports including soccer, basketball, handball, ice hockey, volleyball and rugby. Performance Analysis in Team Sports is an essential companion for any course or research project on sports performance analysis or sports coaching, and an invaluable reference for professional analysts.
