Summary

"Protective Gear: A Comprehensive Guide to Injury Prevention in Sports" emphasizes the critical role of protective equipment in reducing sports injuries. It highlights that a large proportion of sports-related injuries can be prevented through the proper use of helmets, padding, and other gear. The book argues that understanding the biomechanics of injury and the technology behind protective equipment is essential for athletes, coaches, and healthcare professionals.

 
The book explores three main sections: the science of impact and injury mechanisms, comprehensive details on available protective technologies, and practical guidelines for selecting and maintaining protective equipment. For example, understanding the physics of impact helps appreciate how protective gear functions, similar to how seatbelts work in cars. By combining scientific research with real-world advice, the book bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application.

 
This guide progresses from explaining injury risks to examining various types of protective gear, and finally, focuses on best practices for implementation. It provides actionable strategies for enhancing safety in sports, making it an invaluable resource for anyone involved in athletic activities, aiming to improve personal safety and reduce the risk of injury.

    Skater Girl Asha tells the TRUE story of how Asha, an Untouchable, broke courageously with the traditional conventions in her village and shaped her life ever since. She escaped her arranged marriage and found her passion and purpose through skateboarding. Today, Asha is a strong voice for all the girls in her village of Janwaar – and far beyond. 
“Before the skatepark started, I was very different. I didn’t know my own voice. I couldn’t talk to anyone. I couldn’t even make eye contact with anyone. I never made any decision on my own – only my family members would decide what is good and what is bad for me. This has changed completely when the skatepark came to my village. I’ve found my voice. It is a long and bumpy road I am on – but I take it as the challenges occur!”

    The first woman inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, there was no one like Effa Manley in the sports world of the 1930s and 1940s. She was a sophisticated woman who owned a baseball team. She never shrank from going head to head with men, who dominated the ranks of sports executives. That her life story remained unchronicled for so long can only be attributed to one thing: her team, the Newark Eagles, belonged to the Negro Leagues. 
 
 
 
In Queen of the Negro Leagues: Effa Manley and the Newark Eagles, Negro Leagues Centennial Edition, James Overmyer brings to light new details regarding Effa Manley's fascinating story, including previously-unknown information about her childhood and family. Overmyer wonderfully portrays Effa Manley's trailblazing life, her championship baseball team, and a thriving black community in Newark that took the Eagles into their hearts. In addition, this book contains updates regarding the Negro Leagues, its talented rank of players, and Manley's induction into the Hall of Fame. 
 
 
 
This important work shines the spotlight on a previously unsung segment of baseball history. Drawing extensively from Eagle team records and Manley's scrapbook, Queen of the Negro Leagues is the definitive biography of a groundbreaking female sports executive.

    One or the other of you surely remembers the school breaks back then on the playground in the elementary school at the thought of jumping rope. And surely you are smiling about it now. It was a pastime as a kid, it was fun, and it was literally child's play. Is it still that way today?

Who would have thought that "rope skipping" would become a recognized sport in which even international competitions are now held.

What has spilled over from abroad to Europe as a trend is also gaining enthusiasm on our doorstep in all age groups and sports groups.
