Every four years the Racing Rules of Sailing are updated following the Olympics. To help the sailor, World Sailing labels important changes with marginal markings. For the new rules coming into force on 1st January 2025 there are quite a lot of marginal markings: - A third of the Definitions are marked, including Sail the Course, Mark-Room, Obstruction and Continuing Obstruction; - Nearly a third of the rules in Part 2 (When Boats Meet) are marked, including Avoiding Contact, Mark-Room, Room to Pass an Obstruction; - All of the rules in Part 5 (Protests, Redress, Hearings, Misconduct and Appeals) are marked. That's quite a lot of changes! You need a new set of rules and, to understand the implications of the changes, you need a guide to them. Rules in Practice has been the best-selling guide to the racing rules of sailing for the last 40 years. Now, in its 11th edition, it has been updated for (and contains in full) the 2025-2028 Racing Rules of Sailing. To begin, Rules in Practice describes the latest rule changes and their implications for sailors. The book then covers the fundamental rules that always apply to sailors along with a detailed look at the rules around luffing and keeping clear – which were an eye-opener to many sailors when they were first published in the last edition. As always, throughout the book, the emphasis is on the practical impact on you as a sailor, rather than a theoretical discussion of the rules themselves. This is brought to life in the rest of the book, which takes you around the racecourse, from start to finish, through the key situations that frequently occur showing, from the point of view of each boat in turn, what you may, must or must not do. (Other rules guides take you through the rules in order which is just not how you come across them on the racecourse.) You don't have to know all the rules off by heart, but you do need to know your rights and obligations on the water – the rules can be looked up afterwards. This knowledge will build your confidence while racing and enable you to make the most of opportunities when they arise. Colour diagrams throughout ensure concepts are easily understood. If you are going to buy one rule book – make it this one!Voir livre
Tennis is a dynamic sport that requires more than just physical skill. While athleticism, technique, and fitness are essential, having a solid understanding of tactics can often be the deciding factor in a match. Tennis tactics involve strategies, decision-making, and adjusting your game plan according to the flow of the match, the opponent’s strengths and weaknesses, and even the conditions of the court. This chapter introduces the concept of tennis tactics, emphasizing their importance for players of all levels, from beginners to professionals. At its core, tennis is a game of patience and precision. In order to outsmart your opponent, you must be able to analyze the situation on the court and make the best possible decisions. Tactics come into play when choosing the right shot, deciding when to attack or defend, and how to manage the mental aspects of the game. Understanding the fundamentals of tennis tactics is key to building a strong foundation for your play, regardless of your style. One of the first steps in developing effective tactics is recognizing that no single strategy works for every situation. A good player is versatile and adaptable, able to modify their approach depending on the opponent, the surface, and the match circumstances. For example, on a fast hard court, you might choose to play aggressively with deep, powerful shots, while on a slower clay court, a more patient, defensive style might be needed to outlast your opponent. Being able to read the game and adjust accordingly is an essential part of any winning strategy.Voir livre

By now, football's concussion crisis is well known: every year brings headlines of our Hall of Fame heroes behaving erratically and dying young. But did you know that several kid players across the continent drop dead every year before a single ball is snapped—just from extreme conditioning drills directed by all-powerful coaches? Without Helmets or Shoulder Pads takes the conversation about football and public health to a new level with investigations of the sport's underreported worst tragedies and their cover-ups, at major universities, obscure junior colleges, and high schools. These add up to a kind of quiet pandemic—a socially induced one enabled by our thirst for spectacle and by a skewed vision of masculinity. Here are the shocking stories of young men who get struck down by exertional heatstroke and other causes sometimes not even acknowledged (such as the sickle cell trait syndrome that afflicts many African Americans). When the worst happens, the football world simply buries the evidence, pays off victims' families, and moves on. No matter how much we enjoy America's most popular sport at elite levels, this book makes the case that it belongs out of our public schools and off our public fields.Voir livre
