Vi er opflasket med den forestilling, at idræt og religion hører til i hvert sit rum, men frem for at betragte idræt og religion som tilhørende hver sin livssfære, fokuserer Ove Korsgaaard på samspillet og modspillet mellem dem og med det omgivne samfund og belyser dynamikken mellem kropskultur og religion i tre udvalgte historiske epoker: antikken, tidlig moderne tid og moderne tid. Kristendommens historie er nemlig vævet uløseligt sammen med kropskulturens historie.Kropskulturen udgør en kampplads, hvor der fra tid til anden opstår voldsomme stridigheder om, hvilke idrætter og kropslige aktiviteter, der skal fremmes, og hvilke der skal forbydes. Ove Korsgaards tilgang til kropskulturens historie bygger på den tankegang, at de intense og dramatiske udtryks- og oplevelsesformer, som kendetegner idrætten, udgør en strømførende forbindelse mellem handlinger og holdninger. Sagt med andre ord: Kropskulturen rummer et kropsligt udtryk for en given kulturs værdier og idealer.

A bold and foundational history of the inception and evolution of intercollegiate athletics in the United States.In College Sports, historians Eric A. Moyen and John R. Thelin tell the intriguing story of the success--and excess--of American college sports from their inception to today. Arguing that the modern American university's structure spurred the growth of big-time sports, Moyen and Thelin also highlight the treatment of marginalized groups in athletics and the role that commercialization and the media have played in shaping college sports.Using a wealth of secondary resources, archival records, newspaper articles, and oral histories, Moyen and Thelin offer a chronological account of the popularity, success, and continued challenges of college sports. Most scholarship has portrayed athletics as an anomaly within higher education, but history reveals that college sports enjoy a symbiotic relationship with universities. Reform and a return to a purely amateur model have rarely been a compelling option for those institutions that are successful in commercialized big-time college sports. At the same time, the majority of student-athletes compete in a very different model. And despite their progressive posturing, colleges have been slow to fully adopt civil rights and social justice issues. When full participation was finally extended to women and minorities, it generally meant a move away from the amateur model into a commercial enterprise. By examining key events at specific universities, athletic conferences, and the NCAA, Moyen and Thelin trace how the media and sports marketing have created an incredibly successful financial model for schools in big-time conferences. Yet this model has also created a precarious fiscal situation for hundreds of other institutions. This provocative and refreshing take on sports in American universities provides the context in which to understand--and improve upon--the current landscape of intercollegiate athletics.

Behind every pivotal winning moment in sports history lies an equally memorable moment of crushing disappointment.From Hank Aaron's 715th home run, which broke Babe Ruth's record, to Christian Laettner's famous buzzer-beating shot for Duke in the NCAA tournament?every sports fan recalls the winning moments that have shaped sports history. But often forgotten are the stories on the other side of these history-making moments, the athletes who experienced not transcendent glory but crushing failure: the cornerback who couldn't prevent the big touchdown; the baseball manager whose team was one strike away from World Series victory; the world-record-holding Olympian who fell on the ice. And while history is written by the victors, even the losers have lessons to teach us.In Losing Isn't Everything, famed sportscaster Curt Menefee, joined by bestselling writer Michael Arkush, examines some of the biggest ?disappointments? from the wide world of sports, interviewing the athletes and personalities at the heart of each loss and uncovering what it means to be associated with failure?months, years, or decades later. Telling the losing stories behind such famous moments as the ?helmet catch? in Super Bowl XLII, with the Patriots' Rodney Harrison defending the Giants' David Tyree; Mary Decker's fall in the 3,000 meters at the 1984 Olympics; and Craig Ehlo's giving up ?The Shot? to Michael Jordan in the 1989 NBA playoffs, Menefee examines the legacy of the hardest losses, revealing the unique path that athletes have to walk after they flop on their sports' biggest stages. Shedding new light on some of the most recognizable scapegoat stories in the sports canon, he also revisits both the Baltimore Colts' loss in Super Bowl III, as well as the Red Sox' loss in the 1986 World Series, showing why, despite Bill Buckner's years of humiliation, it might not have all been his fault.What emerges is a powerful portrait of the grit and resolve required to bounce back from the hardest losses. Illustrated with sixteen pages of color photos, this considered and compassionate study offers invaluable lessons about pain, resilience, disappointment, remorse, and acceptance that can help us look at our lives, our mistakes, and ourselves in a profound new way.

Clearing the Bases is a much-needed call to arms by one of baseball's most respected players. Drawing on his experiences as a third baseman, a manager, and, most recently, a fan, Mike Schmidt takes on everything from skyrocketing payrolls, callous owners, and unapproachable players to inflated statistics, and, of course, ersatz home run kings. But Schmidt's book goes beyond the Balco investigation and never-ending free-agent bonanzas that dominate the back pages. It also examines all that's right with our national pastime, including interleague play, expansion, and, most surprisingly, better all-around hitters. Riveting, wise, and illuminating, Clearing the Bases is a hall of famer's look at how Major League Baseball has lost its way and how it can head back home.

Boston's coach Red Auerbach went on to become the ultimate winner and builder of championship teams. And the city of Boston and its beloved Celtics had their first NBA championship-and the makings of a dynasty.

The origins of the Olympics date back to Ancient Greece as a festival to the god Zeus but remarkably the four year cycle established then is still integral more than 2000 years later. After setting the scene in Olympia, Joanne traces the evolution of the modern games prompted by the endeavours of a Shropshire doctor William Penny Brookes and taken on by Frenchman Baron Pierre de Coubertin. He steered the modern Olympics through their formative and rocky early editions under his famous mantra " it's not the winning but the taking part". There's the one legged gold medal gymnast, the athlete whose fame persuaded a town to change their name to his and the novice swimmer who'd never seen a full size pool till he made his debut, the Olympics never fail to surprise and enthral. With more than 100 images the book focuses on people and events, the great, the good and the bad over more than a century, revealing some unusual backstories plus many heartwarming and heartbreaking outcomes that linger long in the memory. It's little wonder as we approach Paris 2024 that the Olympics still attract even the most armchair fans worldwide.

A compelling story of our ever-evolving relationship with mountains and wilderness.
