A history of Catholics in Cardiff
Conventional wisdom holds that youth sports are a positive
experience for our children. Unfortunately, 70% of kids drop out of
organized athletics by the age of 13. Most of these children quit
because our youth sports culture has taken the 'play' out of 'play
ball.' A shift in values, the rise of expensive youth sports
models, and the myth of abundant athletic scholarships has led
parents and coaches to focus on wins instead of enjoyment, and
trophies at the expense of development. As a result, every day
increasing numbers of children quit playing sports that are no
longer enjoyable. Conventional wisdom is wrong.
In "Changing the Game," John O'Sullivan draws upon three decades
of high level playing and coaching experience to take us behind the
scenes of competitive youth sports, and demonstrates how they have
changed from being a fun pastime to an ultra competitive, adult
centered enterprise that is failing our children. He then teaches
parents that the secret to raising happy, high performing children
begins by helping them attain a positive mindset, and an enjoyable
youth sports environment. By following seven actionable principles
of high performance, parents can give their children a competitive
edge, while at the same time making youth sports a positive
experience for their family, their community, and their country.
"The romance is gone, the fun has disappeared, and children no
longer simply 'play' sports," says O'Sullivan. "Changing the Game"
is a call to action to reverse this trend. It will change how you
think about youth sports. It will teach you the secrets of high
performance. It will help your children to perform better. And it
will put the "play" back in "play ball" for all of our young
athletes. Are you ready to take action? Are you ready to change the
game?

warming via carbon dioxide emissions. In an easy-to-read and
thorough treatment, all aspects of the earth's radiative balance
are discussed.
Kurt Frank Korf's story is one of the most unusual to come out of
World War II. Although German-Americans were America's largest
ethnic group, and German-Americans-including thousands of
native-born Germans-fought bravely in all theaters, there are few
full first-person accounts by German- Americans of their
experiences during the 1930s and 1940s. Drawing on his
correspondence and on oral histories and interviews with Korf,
Patricia Kollander paints a fascinating portrait of a privileged
young man forced to flee Nazi Germany in 1937 because the infamous
Nuremburg Laws had relegated him to the status of "second-degree
mixed breed" (Korf had one Jewish grandparent). Settling in New
York City, Korf became an FBI informant, watching pro-Nazi leaders
like Fritz Kuhn and the German-American Bund as they moved among
the city's large German immigrant community. Soon after, he
enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving in Germany as an intelligence
officer during the Battle of the Bulge, and as a prisoner of war
camp administrator. After the war, Korf stayed on as a U.S.
government attorney in Berlin and Munich, working to hunt down war
criminals, and lent his expertise in the effort to determine the
authenticity of Joseph Goebbels's diaries. Kurt Frank Korf died in
2000. Kollander not only draws a detailed portrait of this unique
figure; she also provides a rich context for exploring responses to
Nazism in Germany, the German-American position before and during
the war, the community's later response to Nazism and its crimes,
and the broader issues of ethnicity, religion, political ideology,
and patriotism in 20th-century America. Patricia Kollander is
Associate Professor of History at Florida Atlantic University. She
is the author of Frederick III: Germany's Liberal Emperor. "I Must
Be a Part of This War" is part of her ongoing research into the
experiences of some fifteen thousand native-born Germans who served
in the U.S. Army in World War II. John O'Sullivan was Professor of
History at Florida Atlantic University.
