| Title: Applied Motor Learning in Physical Education & Sports |
| By (author): Jin Wang, Shihui Chen |
| ISBN10-13: 1935412523 : 9781935412526 |
| The importance of the study of the scientific principles of learning human motor skills is evident in that motor learning is a required core course as set forth by the NASPE standards. Applied Motor Learning in Physical Education and Sports goes further than simply providing valuable scientific theories. Authors Jin Wang and Shihui Chen transform those theories into practice in an understandable approach by incorporating case studies and practitioners' implications, making this a comprehensive authority on the topic of motor learning. Written for undergraduate students, PE teachers, coaches, athletes and practitioners, each chapter includes: an introduction to the imperative theoretical models of motor learning, case studies and life examples that illustrate theoretical concepts that can be effectively applied to practical teaching, coaching, or motor learning settings, project topics that integrate theory with practice, clear illustrations, diagrams, and key components of concepts depicting the main ideas. |

“Applied Motor Learning in Physical Education and Sports provides valuable information about integrating sport science principles to practice for teaching and learning motor skills. I believe that physical educators, coaches and practitioners can largely benefit from this applied book that is rarely found in the market. I highly recommend this book to any professionals who learn or teach motor skills. You will find this book informative and valuable with an easy-to-understand approach to effectively illustrate motor learning concepts. As my consultant, Dr. Wang’s approaches, I find, are very effective and useful in motor skill training.” –Anson Dorrance, Head Women’s Varsity Soccer Coach at the University of North Carolina, 22-Time National Champions; former U.S. Women’s National Soccer Coach (1986-1994), 1991 Women’s World Champions

“Dr. Wang provided effective psychological and technical consultations to me and helped me eliminate competitive anxiety and keep concentrated for achieving the Olympic gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Italy. I am truly thankful for Dr. Wang’s consultations. Dr. Wang’s new applied motor learning book will help coaches and athletes understand the important scientific principles related to sport skill training.” – Han Xiao Peng, Chinese Free-Style Skiing Aero-Jump Olympic Athlete who won the Olympic gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Italy

“This is the book coaches and PE teachers have been waiting for. Dr. Wang, a former elite soccer player and coach, and Dr. Chen show coaches how to take motor learning principles and integrate them into their practice sessions. In their treatment of skill learning, the authors not only show coaches how to break motor skills down into their component parts but they also demonstrate how to enhance learning by taking skills from practice sessions and putting them into actual competition. Applied Motor Learning is a welcomed addition to the motor learning literature because of its theoretical and practical orientations. It is a new approach to the study of one of the most important aspects of teaching/coaching.” – William F. Straub, PhD, FACSM, Certified Sport Psychology Consultant for Association of Applied Sport Psychology Former professor, dean, and professional athlete and coach

“The information compiled by Dr. Wang and Dr. Chen is extremely valuable. As a physical educator, I especially enjoyed the concepts of the application of practice in various settings and how that can be transferred to the game or competition setting. Applied Motor Learning is easy to follow and enjoyable to read. I highly recommend this for those looking to maximize the efficiency of practice to game transfer.” – R. David Worrall, Elementary Physical Educator, Former GAHPERD State President, and former GAHPERD Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year.

| Title: Case Studies in Sport Diplomacy |
| By (author): Craig Esherick, Robert Baker, Steven Jackson, Michael Sam |
| ISBN10-13: 1940067057 : 9781940067056 |
| The growing influence of sport has created a unique opportunity to build international relationships for a number of purposes, including cultural, economic, shared humanitarian, and increasingly, political diplomacy. This book explores the influence and effectiveness of sport diplomacy in improving long-term relations between nations by opening a dialogue with international leaders, raising awareness of host countries and to bridging cultural differences, and in building international relationships through ambassadors that could increase trade and legislative agreements, and even bring peace to nations in conflict. Authored by talented scholars from all over the world, many of whom served as sport diplomats, their unique perspective in each case sheds light on the ways in which sport diplomacy can succeed or falter in achieving strategic objectives between influential -- and in some cases historically adversarial -- countries. A thoroughly intriguing look at sport diplomacys past and ongoing efforts to improve relations with countries such as Brazil, Russia, Iran and China, this book brings to the forefront an area in which sport has been able to open up and increase opportunities to build relationships between people, communities, governments and countries. |

| Title: Coaching for the Inner Edge |
| Sub-title: Practical Sport Psychology for Coaches |
| Edition Statement: 2nd Edition |
| By (author): Robin S Vealey |
| ISBN10-13: 1940067502 : 9781940067506 |
| Coaches are continually searching for ways to gain the edge over their opponents. They work tirelessly to get their athletes in top physical condition, to develop their physical skills, and to implement successful routines and strategies for their teams. This physical training develops the athlete's outer edge -- the peak physical performance advantage over their opponents. But as most coaches realise, athletes also need an inner edge to perform successfully. This Inner Edge is the advantage that athletes cultivate within themselves by honing their mental skills, by learning to manage their energy in pressure situations and to focus effectively, despite distractions and obstacles. This much anticipated second edition is a must read for anyone interested in improving sport performance. Dr. Vealey distills and applies the proven methods, updated techniques, and her own experience into a practical, engaging resource for coaches, trainers, and consultants. Drawing from the preeminent research literature of master coaches, innovative sport psychologists, and from her own practical experiences as a college basketball player, coach, sport psychology researcher and consultant, Dr Vealey defines how to develop the Inner Edge in athletes. |

| ISBN10-13: 1935412469 : 9781935412465 |
| This is a comprehensive study of sport's impact on childhood skill acquisition.

Authorities in the fields of sport psychology and motor development and learning share their insights in each chapter, guaranteeing a comprehensive exploration of children's talent development through sport. The book is structured around the fourth stage of talent development research, which takes into account not only practice activities, but also the importance of play and the sampling of various sports throughout childhood. This stage considers psychosocial influences as well as training aspects. Chapters cover a variety of topics, such as implicit motor learning, self-efficacy, perfectionism's impact on emerging talent in youth, and the influence of coaches, peers, and family members. |
