During field and court-based sports, players are continually
required to perceive their environment within a match and select
and perform the most appropriate action to achieve their immediate
goal within that match instance. This ability is commonly known as
agility, considered a vital quality in such sports and may
incorporate a variety of locomotion and instantaneous actions.
Multidirectional speed is a global term to describe the competency
and capacity to perform such actions, to accelerate, decelerate,
change direction and ultimately maintain speed in multiple
directions and movements within the context of sports specific
scenarios, encompassing many of these agility, speed, and related
qualities. Multidirectional speed in sport depends on a multitude
of factors including perceptual-cognitive abilities, physical
qualities, and the technical ability to perform the abovementioned
actions. Multidirectional Speed in Sport: Research to Application
reviews the science of multidirectional speed and translates this
information into real-world application in order to provide a
resource for practitioners to develop multidirectional speed with
athletes, bringing together knowledge from a wealth of
world-leading researchers and applied practitioners in the area of
'speed and agility' to provide a complete resource to assist
practitioners in designing effective multidirectional speed
development programmes. This text is critical reading for
undergraduate and graduate sports science students, all individuals
involved in training athletes (e.g., coaches, physiotherapists,
athletic trainers) along with researchers in the field of sports
science and sports medicine.

Despite being the third largest economy in Southeast Asia,
Malaysian entrepreneurial activity is under-reported in the
scholarly literature. This book extends such research by examining
the impact of entrepreneurship on its economy and evaluating the
existing systemic problems. The Malaysian economy has benefited
from the density of knowledge-based businesses and utilization of
the latest technologies in the manufacturing and digital economies.
However, Malaysia faces ongoing challenges, namely concentration of
wealth in the city, high regional unemployment and workplace gender
inequality. In regional areas, there is an over-reliance on
agriculture and necessity based entrepreneurship. Consequently,
entrepreneurial activity has been encouraged with the creation of
eco-systems, seed corn funding and provision of entrepreneurship
education to offer entrepreneurial career choices. Providing
recommendations and best practice for driving entrepreneurship and
entrepreneurial behaviours, this contributed volume presents the
first opportunity to reflect on both the success stories and
systemic problems related to effective entrepreneurial behaviour in
a South East Asian context.
Christian History Made Easy summarizes the most important events in
the history of the church, from the time of Jesus to modern day. It
explains early church history, the Church Councils, the Great
Schism, the Crusades, Francis of Assisi, John Wycliffe, Martin
Luther, the Protestant Reformation, and more. It presents key
church history events and great Christian leaders everyone should
know, along with full-color church history timelines, photos,
pictures, and maps. The study guide and worksheets in the back
makes this book an excellent Bible Study, adults Sunday school
topics, or homeschool curriculum. Author Timothy Paul Jones makes
Christian history refreshingly fun while at the same time informing
Christians about the history of the Christian faith.
Sustainable entrepreneurship focuses on how the environment is
embedded within business practices. This book examines
collaboration strategies and initiatives for sustainable
entrepreneurs with a wide variety of partners, and demonstrates how
they can be used to increase overall performance and achieve global
competitiveness. Based on the latest empirical evidence from
emerging economies, the book's respective chapters address
sustainability issues in connection with knowledge creation and
learning, outsourcing, and the roles of universities, consultants,
and the public sector.
This book focuses on the role of subsistence entrepreneurs in
creating social and sustainable business opportunities on the
global marketplace. Subsistence entrepreneurs use scarce resources
to create new business opportunities, often in developing or
emerging economies. In addition, subsistence entrepreneurship is
increasingly being used as a way to facilitate market entry for
small and medium-sized business enterprises that focus on
collaborative innovation. The interdisciplinary contributions
gathered here will expand readers' understanding of the nature and
characteristics of subsistence entrepreneurs, as well as the
challenges they face. The central connection between subsistence,
sustainability and social entrepreneurship is also explored.

This is the story of Alf Engers and the pursuit of speed, set
against a backdrop of cycling clubs, shop-owners, framebuilders,
riders, racers, team managers and officials. It loops from the
Paddington Track to the Skol Six, Herne Hill to the National Road
Race Championships and from Boroughbridge to Barnet, in and out of
time and place to capture the truth of a racing career of
unequalled achievement, charisma and controversy. Constructed from
extensive interviews with Alf Engers, I Like Alf is the definitive
tale of a mythical and charismatic folk hero of British cycling.
Where I came from it was so very different: up at five o'clock in
the morning, the tinkle of shoe plates on the road, the smell of
embrocation, the stillness of the morning, just you and the
timekeeper: 5-4-3-2-1-GO! It is the essence of cycling. If I had
gone on to do what I wanted to do I would have won the Tour de
France, but that's how the dice were rolled.
