Manual del entrenador de fútbol moderno


Book Description

En un deporte como el fútbol es imprescindible la figura del entrenador, éste es la pieza clave que hace posible que el partido de cada semana se lleve de una manera u otra en función de los intereses del equipo. La atención y expectación estará sobre el terreno de juego, la pelota, los jugadores y el árbitro, pero él moverá los hilos desde la sombra para llevar por buen camino a su equipo, será el gran ordenador gris que controlará todas las vicisitudes del juego. El fútbol es un deporte que a pesar de su importancia y popularidad, todavía carece de unos sistemas eficaces de seguimiento, control y evaluación estadísticas, como poseen otros deportes de equipo. Este libro es una obra que ofrece una serie de soluciones prácticas para resolver estas carencias en el difícil arte de la dirección de un equipo. En este trabajo se aportan un conjunto de recursos e instrumentos para el seguimiento, control y evaluación de las múltiples variables que afectan a un equipo en sus diversas facetas que creemos han de ser de gran utilidad para el entrenador. De hecho, esta obra es un trabajo original y constructivo, pensado por entrenadores para los entrenadores, que cubre sin lugar a dudas un importante vacío en la bibliografía futbolística. Este original y práctico libro se inicia con un capítulo introductorio "El fútbol en clave antropológica" a cargo del profesor de "historia y sistemas de las actividades física y el deporte" del INEF de Lleida, Javier Olivera Betrán. A continuación, la obra se estructura en dos grandes apartados, la parte teórica es introductoria de temas como: la preparación física, las cualidades motrices básicas y la preparación técnico-táctica, este último trabajo con la colaboración de Claudio Barrabés Naval, licenciado de E.F. y estudioso del fútbol. La parte práctica constituye una auténtica guía práctica del entrenador de fútbol, en donde se ofrecen instrumentos eficaces de seguimiento y evaluación del equipo en el entrenamiento y en los partidos: planillas, cuadros estadísticos, hojas de observación, así como los tests de control del estado de forma de los jugadores.

Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance


Book Description

Gender equality is one of the founding democratic principles of the EU. However, recent studies of the Federation of Olympic Sports in Europe have shown that women occupy only fourteen percent of decision-making positions in sport organizations. This book presents a comprehensive and comparative study of how various regions and countries of Europe have addressed this lack of gender diversity, discussing which strategies have brought about change and to what extent these changes have been successful. With contributions from leading sport sociologists, covering countries such as Germany, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey and the UK, it provides a foundation for future policymaking, methodological analyses and theoretical developments that can result in sustainable gender equality in European sport governance. Gender Diversity in European Sport Governance is important reading for scholars and students in the fields of sociology of sport, sport management, sociology, gender studies and studies of organization, management and leadership. It is also a valuable resource for policy makers in the EU, as well as national sport organizations and activists.

Basques in the Philippines


Book Description

The Basques played a remarkably influential role in the creation and maintenance of Spain’s colonial establishment in the Philippines. Their skills as shipbuilders and businessmen, their evangelical zeal, and their ethnic cohesion and work-oriented culture made them successful as explorers, colonial administrators, missionaries, merchants, and settlers. They continued to play prominent roles in the governance and economy of the archipelago until the end of Spanish sovereignty, and their descendants still contribute in significant ways to the culture and economy of the contemporary Philippines. This book offers important new information about a little-known aspect of Philippine history and the influence of Basque immigration in the Spanish Empire, and it fills an important void in the literature of the Basque diaspora.
