  • Taking Shotsby Keith Glass

    HarperCollins 2007; US$ 10.99

    Bring a family of four to an NBA game today, and it costs around $500 to watch a bunch of seven-footers take bad shots. Perhaps the quote often attributed to P.T. Barnum is true—there really is a sucker born every minute. The NBA is in trouble. And as NBA agent Keith Glass describes it—he's part of the problem! If team owners are willing to throw millions of dollars his way for marginal players, why should he be the only one with the self-restraint to say ''no''?. In his insightful, funny, and often mind-numbingly bizarre tales of life in the NBA over the last twenty- five years, Keith Glass lets it fly from half-court. He'll tell you how we got to the present state—where an agent who makes millions off the game can't sit... more...

  • Career As A Sports Coachby Institute For Career Research Contributing Editors

    Institute For Career Research 2007; US$ 15.00

    Sporting competition is often compared, metaphorically, to war. Football teams lineup against one another, each desperately seeking to gain control of the line of scrimmage ? their ?front line.? Hockey players brutally attempt to gain control of the puck from the enemy, then as if it were a live grenade, they charge down the ice looking to thrust it into the net. Even tennis players and track stars push their limits in tough competition. If the athletes are portrayed as the combatants, locking horns with their opponents in a grueling test of their physical abilities, then that would make the coaches the generals. They oversee all aspects of the battle. They design tactics with the sole purpose of gaining victory during combat. They train their... more...

  • College Athletes for Hireby ALLEN SACK; ELLEN STAUROWSKY

    ABC-CLIO 1998; US$ 98.00

    Many books have been written on the evils of commercialism in college sport, and the hypocrisy of payments to athletes from alumni and other sources outside the university. Almost no attention, however, has been given to the way that the National Collegiate Athletic Association has embraced professionalism through its athletic scholarship policy. Because of this gap in the historical record, the NCAA is often cast as an embattled defender of amateurism, rather than as the architect of a nationwide money-laundering scheme.||Sack and Staurowsky show that the NCAA formally abandoned amateurism in the 1950s and passed rules in subsequent years that literally transformed scholarship athletes into university employees. In addition, by purposefully... more...

  • Die Personalbeschaffung in der Fußball-Bundesligaby Dominik-Martin Cieslik

    Diplomica Verlag 2009; US$ 46.11

    Der Fußball und der Sport allgemein sind nicht bis ins letzte Detail planbar. Der Erfolg hängt nie von einem einzelnen Sportler oder einer einzelnen Mannschaft ab. Nicht zuletzt entscheidet oft die Tagesform über Sieg oder Niederlage. Das ist es, was Ralf Rangnick, Trainer des Fußballclubs TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, mit dem obigen Zitat zum Ausdruck bringen wollte. Allerdings wird keinesfalls alles dem Zufall überlassen. Dies soll auch diese Untersuchung zur "Personalbeschaffung in der Fußball-Bundesliga" zeigen. Der professionelle Sport galt lange als ausgefallenes Thema im Hinblick auf wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fragestellungen. In Deutschland hat er jedoch in den letzten Jahren wirtschaftliche Akzeptanz erreicht und das Interesse an sportökonomischen... more...
