Book Synopsis Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup by : Beau Dure
Download or read book Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup written by Beau Dure. This book was released on 2019-11-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: October 10, 2017. The U.S. men’s soccer team loses in Trinidad and Tobago, and fails to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. Winning soccer’s greatest prize never seemed more distant. Immediate fixes—a new coach, a revamped professional league, a commitment to coaching education—won’t put the USA in the global elite. The nation is too fractious, too litigious, too wrapped up in other sports, and too late to the game. In Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup: A Historical and Cultural Reality Check, Beau Dure shows what American soccer is really up against. Using hundreds of sources to trace more than 100 years of history, Dure delves into the culture that only recently lost its disdain for the global game and still doesn’t have the depth of soccer insight and passion that much of the world has had for generations. The difficulty isn’t any single thing—the mismanagement of failed leagues, the inability to agree on a path forward, the lawsuits that stem from an inability to agree, or the unique American culture that treasures its homegrown sports. It’s everything. And yet, Why the U.S. Men Will Never Win the World Cup is ultimately optimistic. Dure argues that with the right long-term changes, the U.S. can build a soccer environment that consistently produces quality players, strong results, and a lot more fun on the international stage. Soccer fans and skeptics alike will find this a fascinating examination of America’s past, present, and future in the beautiful game.

Book Synopsis Embracing Victory by : Mariah B. Nelson
Download or read book Embracing Victory written by Mariah B. Nelson. This book was released on 1998-02-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite women's great strides in business, sports and politics, many women still feel ambivalent about winning. They cannot relate to what Nelson calls the Conqueror's way: domination, subjugation, humiliation of enemies. But equally unpalatable is the alternative settling for the second-class status of the Cheerleader's way, wherein women compete only with each other, only on the sidelines, and only over issues like beauty and popularity. Nelson proposes this possibility: the Champion's way. The Champions competes openly, joyously, with women or men, with respect for her rivals, and without apology for her own desire for excellence. Using personal stories, interviews with more than two hundred women, and original survey research of one thousand women and girls nationwide, Nelson presents a unique five part framework for understanding competition: it's a relationship, a process, an opportunity, a risk, and a feminist issue. In a book that will change every reader's perspective on competition, Nelson sets women on their way to competing with a whole new game plan.
