Sinopse

Pool Game Basics explores the fascinating history and practical benefits of classic aquatic games. Many popular pool activities, like modified Water Polo and Marco Polo, have surprising origins in early physical education programs, highlighting their long-standing role in promoting physical fitness. Delving into sports history, the book reveals how these games evolved from simple water activities into structured events, emphasizing their enduring appeal and value in developing teamwork and cognitive skills.

 
The book examines core concepts such as aquatic safety and basic swimming skills, then traces the historical development of specific games, supported by historical accounts and early physical education manuals. It further analyzes the educational and physical benefits, using research from exercise science to quantify cardiovascular, muscular, and cognitive improvements. By connecting sports history, physical education, and exercise science, Pool Game Basics presents a comprehensive understanding of pool games as multifaceted activities.

 
Structured in three parts, the book first introduces fundamental principles, then explores historical development, and finally analyzes the benefits. It culminates with a practical guide for adapting and implementing these games in diverse settings, making it a valuable resource for educators, coaches, and anyone interested in enhancing aquatic programs and promoting water safety.

Tackling The Everyday - Race and...

Tracie Canada

A Black feminist takes on exploitation and care in America's favorite game. 
 
 
  
Big-time college football promises prestige, drama, media attention, and money. Yet most athletes in this unpaid, amateur system encounter a different reality, facing dangerous injuries, few pro-career opportunities, a free but devalued college education, and future financial instability. In one of the first ethnographies about Black college football players, anthropologist Tracie Canada reveals the ways young athletes strategically resist the exploitative systems that structure their everyday lives. 
 
 
 
Tackling the Everyday shows how college football particularly harms the young Black men who are overrepresented on gridirons across the country. Although coaches and universities constantly invoke the misleading "football family" narrative, this book describes how a brotherhood among Black players operates alongside their caring mothers, who support them on and off the field. With a Black feminist approach—one that highlights often-overlooked voices—Canada exposes how race, gender, kinship, and care shape the lives of the young athletes who shoulder America's favorite game.
