Indentured - Joe Nocera - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

How can the NCAA blithely wreck careers without regard to due process or common fairness? How can it act so ruthlessly to enforce rules that are so petty? Why won''t anybody stand up to these outrageous violations of American values and American justice? In the four years since Joe Nocera asked those quesètions in a controversial New York Times column, the National Collegiate Athletic Association has come under fire. Fans have begun to realize that the athletes involved in the two biggest college sports, men''s basèketball and football, are little more than indentured servants. Millions of teenagers accept scholarships to chase their dreams of fame and fortune-at the price of absolute submission to the whims of an organizaètion that puts their interests dead last. For about 5 percent of top-division players, college ends with a golden ticket to the NFL or the NBA. But what about the overwhelming majority who never turn pro? They don''t earn a dime from the estimated £13 billion generated annually by college sports-an ocean of cash that enriches schools, conferences, coaches, TV networks, and apparel companies . . . everyone except those who give their blood and sweat to entertain the fans. Indentured tells the dramatic story of a loose-knit group of rebels who decided to fight the hypocrisy of the NCAA, which blathers endlessly about the purity of its student-athletes while exploiting many of them: The ones who get injured and drop out beècause their scholarships have been revoked. The ones who will neither graduate nor go pro. The ones who live in terror of accidentally violating some obscure rule in the four-hundred-page NCAA rulebook. Joe Nocera and Ben Strauss take us into the inner circle of the NCAA''s fiercest enemies. You''ll meet, among others . . . ÛSonny Vaccaro, the charismatic sports marketer who convinced Nike to sign Michael Jordan. Disègusted by how the NCAA treated athletes, Vaccaro used his intimate knowledge of its secrets to blow the whistle in a major legal case. ÛEd O''Bannon, the former UCLA basketball star who realized, years after leaving college, that the NCAA was profiting from a video game using his image. His lawsuit led to an unprecedented antitrust ruling. ÛRamogi Huma, the founder of the National Colèlege Players Association, who dared to think that college players should have the same collective bargaining rights as other Americans. ÛAndy Schwarz, the controversial economist who looked behind the fa§ade of the NCAA and saw it for what it is: a cartel that violates our core values of free enterprise. Indentured reveals how these and other renegades, working sometimes in concert and sometimes alone, are fighting for justice in the bare-knuckles world of college sports.

Kids today are more anxious than ever - and they have every right to be! But as a parent, it can be hard to watch your child struggle. Thankfully, there''s a lot you can do to help. Raising Calm Kids in a World of Worry introduces clinically informed, easy-to-implement strategies to help your child overcome their biggest worries and develop into joyful, emotionally resilient humans. After working with thousands of parents and children struggling with anxiety, psychotherapist and parent coach team Ashley Graber and Maria Evans identified five key practices that consistently reduce worry - both in the moment and over the long run. Together, these form the basis of SAFER Parenting: Set the Tone, Accept Feelings to Guide Behaviours, Form Identity, Engage Like a Pro, and Role Model. Walking readers through each practice, Graber and Evans reveal what parents are missing when it comes to spotting their child''s signs of anxiety, and show how you can use your own sense of calm to: manage big feelings and guide your child toward productive coping tools; have difficult and emotionally-charged conversations without losing your cool; learn to foster open conversation through therapist-approved techniques; nurture your child''s confidence and independence, and create psychological safety in the home to increase calm and lower anxiety.

Banana Ball - Don Yaeger - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

Banana Ball - Don Yaeger - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

2.8 million TikTok followers. 610k Instagram followers. Not only are these numbers more than any MAJOR-league team''s, it is all organic and all because of one thing: the Bananas make baseball fun. They throw out a first banana rather than a ball. Their first-base coach does Thriller dance moves between innings. Players run into the crowd to hand out roses. The team sings Stand by Me after every game. The 20 dollar ticket is food all-inclusive! And they hold exhibition games where the rules are bananas: if a fan catches a foul ball it''s an out, and players go to bat on stilts, or wearing a banana uniform. They have two cheer squads: the ''dancing Nanas'' (age 70+) and the Man-ananas, all Dad Bods. They have a 20k+ waiting list for tickets (every game is sold out). And they put on their show with a cast of 110 (the Harlem Globetrotters use 30). Jesse Cole is their beating heart. Growing up with divorced parents, he clung to playing catch with his dad every night, an 8-year-old with dreams of pitching at Fenway. His dad helped him become a college star (when he pitched at Fenway!) and a pro-prospect before injury derailed Jesse''s hopes of ever playing professionally. But now he''s involved with professional baseball in ways he never could have imagined: he met the love of his life at a game, he calls his dad from the outfield after each Bananas game, and now he hopes to bring the Bananas to fill Fenway Park in 3 years - his next big goal. This is his story, of baseball, love, leadership, and going just a bit bananas for all.
