Summary

Diving Game Methods introduces a novel approach to diver training by integrating game-based learning, aiming to enhance both skill proficiency and enjoyment in recreational diving. The book draws from established techniques in swimming instruction to improve essential diving skills such as buoyancy control and underwater navigation. By making learning fun, divers are more motivated to practice, leading to better skill retention.

The book provides a structured pathway for both dive professionals and recreational divers. It begins with the theoretical foundations of game-based learning, progresses into tested game formats categorized by skill focus, and concludes with guidance on integrating these methods into existing dive programs. Each game includes setup instructions, safety considerations, and adaptation suggestions, ensuring practical application and skill enhancement.

It's worth noting that traditional diving instruction sometimes lacks the engagement needed for skill integration, a gap this book aims to fill. This guide emphasizes that integrating structured games into diving significantly improves skill acquisition, diver retention, and overall enjoyment. By combining established training techniques with the demands of recreational diving, Diving Game Methods offers a unique perspective and innovative tools for skill development.

The book's approach is rooted in motor skill learning, educational psychology, and practical experience, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to enhance their diving skills.

“A must-read!” — Derek Johnson, Director of Pitching, Cincinnati Reds, MLB
		 
What is different about teams that are consistent winners, those teams that always seem to bring their A-game when the stakes are highest? A positive team culture is likely the answer.
		 
We’ve all seen it happen: the team that looks great on paper, or has a league-leading regular season, but can’t pull out the wins or give their top performance when everything is on the line. As coaches and sport leaders what can we do to ensure that we maximize the potential of our athletes and teams so they are successful and continue to enjoy sport? How do we ensure that we coach in a way that benefits the team and remains respectful of the individual?
		 
In their first book together, André Lachance and Jean François Ménard offer tangible and practical strategies to help sport leaders create efficient group dynamics, build team culture, and help a group of athletes to gel. Using the periodic table of elements to organize concepts into a modular framework, the authors have created a powerful new resource for coaches in every sport.
		 
Building successful teams is not as simple as picking the best players: there are specific methods that coaches and leaders use to make their messages stick and to bring out the best in everyone within a group. Consistently, the healthiest team cultures have a huge impact on performance. That is the power of Team Chemistry.

No Friday Night Lights -...

John M. Glionna

No Friday Night Lights is the story of a rural Nevada high school football team that never wins. Veteran reporter John M. Glionna examines the 2022 season in which the McDermitt Bulldogs practiced for weeks in the summer only to learn once again that they had come up short of the necessary players due to the dwindling population on the Fort McDermitt Indian Reservation on the Nevada-Oregon border. 
 
 
 
Eight-man football helps give the coaches and kids a sense of community—despite a lack of wins, and despite their home's status as one of the most remote locations for a public school in the West. Glionna's relationships with coaches, players, parents—and even those McDermitt residents remotely connected to high school football—provide telling insights into local lives, many of them from the Paiute and Shoshone tribes of Fort McDermitt. Although victory and recognition elude the players, Glionna illuminates their hard work and dedication—leaving the listener with glimpses of life on the ground in "flyover" country.

Follow the Buzzards - Pro...

Keith Elliot Greenberg

As a new decade dawned, 2020 was supposed to be the best year to be a wrestling fan. Finally, WWE had serious competition in All Elite Wrestling, and there were viable secondary promotions and a thriving international indie scene. Few in the industry realized that in China, a mysterious virus had begun to spread. By the time a pandemic was declared in March, the business—and the world—was in disarray. For the first time, pro wrestling was no longer seen as escapism, as real-world events intruded on the fantasy. Still, when everything else shut down, wrestling never went away. Despite cancellations and empty arena shows, there were great innovations, like the cinematic match—battles shot to look like movies—and the "ThunderDome," which replicated the live experience with fan faces surrounding the ring on LED screens. On the indie circuit, matches were held outdoors with spectators separated into socially distanced pods. The entire time, New York Times bestselling author and historian Keith Elliot Greenberg was chronicling the scene, juxtaposing pro wrestling developments with actual news events like the U.S. presidential election and Brexit. The result, Follow the Buzzards: Pro Wrestling in the Age of COVID-19, captures the dread, confusion, and spontaneous creativity of this uncertain era while exploring the long-term consequences.
