Double bill of British dramas about football violence and
hooliganism. 'The Football Factory' (2004) is based on the novel by
John King. Tommy Johnson (Danny Dyer) is a bright but bored
30-year-old with a steady job and close-knit family who lives for
the weekend life of casual sex, lager, drugs - and violence.
Through him we meet three other males in his world: Billy Bright
(Frank Harper), a right-wing fascist full of bitterness at a
country that he perceives as having failed him; Zeberdee (Roland
Manookian), a mouthy hooligan whose life revolves around crime and
drugs; and Bill Farrell (Dudley Sutton), a 70-year-old war veteran
who tries to enjoy every day to the limit. Shot in documentary
style using a handheld camera, the film realistically captures the
lure and potency of football violence. 'Arrivederci Millwall'
(1990) follows a group of hardcore Millwall supporters as they
travel to Bilbao in Spain for England's World Cup matches in 1982.
Their rowdy behaviour soon leads them into trouble, and the
violence escalates as Billy Jarvis (Kevin O'Donohoe) steals a gun
to avenge his brother's death in the Falklands conflict.
Hey kids, do you want to know how to make all-stars for your
baseball league? Or parents, do you feel like the coaches keep
passing your child up? Well no more Or coaches, want drills and
ways to motivate your players to get better? Coach Andy Collins is
going to tell you everything he knows from his 35 years of youth
and adult coaching and watching what works and what doesn't work.
It's chock-full of ideas in 86 pages. He'll cover: * How your
league chooses all-stars * What all-star selectors are really
looking for * 7 tried and true methods of getting better at
baseball * But more importantly, little known ways to get the
people picking the team to notice you * And how to beat the
"politics" that seem to get in the way Year after year kids sit in
the stands crying after the all-star teams are announced and they
weren't one of the players that were chosen. At the same time the
students I've trained do make these same all-star teams. It was
then I realized I had the information that the kids in the stands
and their parents and coaches were looking for. Wherever there are
kids around the world that play youth baseball, there are kids that
long to make the league's all-star team. Every year it's the same,
kids that desperately want to have their name called out (or see it
announced on the list) don't make it, and a little bit of them is
hurting deep inside; and they don't know why they were not picked.
Little did they know that they could have fairly accurately
predicted their chances almost from day one of when the season
started. And if they knew what you're about the find out, they
could improve enough in skill in the eyes of the all-star selectors
as to be a better player or even make the all-star team. The good
news is that in this book, there is a way to learn how to make the
all-star team for the next upcoming season; and if not then, the
following year (if you're willing to listen and follow the advice I
give). While I have written this for parents and coaches to learn
how this process works and how they can help these youngsters
achieve their dreams, this is mostly a book written for the kid who
wants to make all-stars, not a book for the parent who wants their
kid to make all-stars (there is a difference). And it will be in
that voice that this book will be written.
