Yet another admits he is an oddity, who would prefer to be working in cricket. A fifth describes his professional life as a circus. These are football managers, live and uncut. Arsene Wenger likens the job to living on a volcano: any day may be your last. He speaks with the authority of being the longest serving manager in the English game, having been at Arsenal for 17 years. The average lifespan of a Football League manager is 17 months. Fifty three managers, across all four Divisions, were sacked, or resigned, in the 2012-13 season. There were fifty seven managerial changes in the 2013-14 season. What makes these men tick?

In writing this book, we recognize that children who enroll in recreational sports have a variety of experiences and skills, and thus this book seeks to provide coaches with a foundational structure and methods to provide effective instruction for all athletes. Within any given team, young athletes have varied skills that range from novice to competent and providing the same activities for all will result in frustration for some of your athletes, either because they do not possess certain prerequisite skills or because they have reached mastery and become bored. It is our goal to provide easy-to-use, practical tools to not only prevent this frustration but to help create an environment that encourages mastery and fun for all, including you, the coach. This book includes information on accessible coaching for teams that may consist of young athletes with learning disabilities, behavioral disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as athletes without disabilities. Effective Coaching includes topics such as effective organization, design of practice environments, communication with families, efficient and feasible progress monitoring, and chapters targeted toward common youth sport programs (e.g., soccer, t-ball, indoor hockey, basketball, flag football, lacrosse, and volleyball).","brand":"Fitness Information Technology, Inc, U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48888801362263,"sku":"9781940067148","price":64.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781940067148.jpg?v=1722551215"},{"product_id":"governance-of-sport-aspects-and-insights-9781940067612","title":"Governance of Sport: Aspects and Insights","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGovernance of Sport: Aspects and Insights provides analysis and applications relative to the governance,  policies, and practices important to both profit and nonprofit sport organizations around the world.

From the agonies of injury and enforced retirement to a poignant late comeback inspired by personal tragedy; from a British Boxing Board of Control-licensed ringside doctor to a late-blossoming veteran of the ring, Ungloved features unique, varied and personal accounts of the 'noble art' from a bygone age.

Sport is an effective industry in which to empirically test theories of personnel economics, primarily because the employer-employee relationship in sport is much more visible and transparent than in almost any other industry. Researchers benefit from having data on a host of variables pertaining to individual employees (i.e. players), such as their age, race, national origin, and experience. Researchers also have data on each employee's performance, on their salary, and on who their co-workers (teammates) and managers (coaches) are.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters are organized around the core functional areas of personnel economics and cover all aspects of the employment relationship in sport - from recruiting and selection, to pay and performance, to work team design.

This is consistent with win maximisation models with a tendency to overinvest in players (see in particular the chapters by Wladimir Andreff and Stefan Szymanski).
