With contributions from scientists, researchers and practitioners working at every level of the game, from grassroots to elite level, the book covers every key aspect of preparation and performance, including: * performance and match analysis; * training and testing; * physiotherapy and injury prevention; * biomechanics; * youth development; * women's soccer; * sport science and coaching; * sport psychology. Sports scientists, trainers, coaches, physiotherapists, medical doctors, psychologists, educational officers and professionals working in soccer will find this in-depth, comprehensive volume an essential and up-to-date resource. The chapters contained within this volume were first presented at The Fourth World Conference on Science and Soccer, held in Portland, Oregon, in June 2014 under the auspices of the World Commission of Science and Sports.

Science and Football VII showcases the very latest scientific research into the variety of sports known as 'football'. These include soccer, the national codes (American football, Australian rules football and Gaelic football), and the rugby codes (union and league). Bridging the gap between theory and practice, this book is by far the most comprehensive collection of current research into football, presenting important new work in key areas such as: physiology of training performance analysis fitness assessment nutrition biomechanics injury and rehabilitation youth football environmental physiology psychology in football. Science and Football VII is an essential resource for all sport scientists, trainers, coaches, physical therapists, physicians, psychologists, educational officers and professionals working across the football codes. The papers contained within this volume were first presented at the Seventh World Congress on Science and Football, held in May 2011 in Nagoya, Japan. The meeting was held under the auspices of the International Steering Group on Science and Football, a representative member of the World Commission of Science and Sports.

Surfing is a way of life that transcends beyond the waves and soaks into the core of our existence. Those laws of surfing, which tells us how fast to paddle, when to pop up on our board, or even how long to hold our breath when struggling to reach the surface, can and do apply to any situation in our lives whether it be work, relationships, school, health, or anything. If you're struggling with happiness in any of those situations, you have the power to change your entire life. You can surf for any of your goals with the right framework, whether it's to surf Rincon in California, North Shore of Oahu, or finding a new job. A surfer's guide to personal success is that map which tells you the mile marker to turn when searching for the break you've been looking for your entire life. I used a blend of experience, knowledge, and love of surfing in crafting this guidebook that shows you that map in a simple step by step manner. Our goals are like waves on the ocean. They keep coming, and it's up to us to decide which to ride. When you miss the ride, don't get mad at the wave, just paddle into another because the waves always come.
