  Cultural Sport Psychology and Elite Sport in Singapore (eBook, PDF)

  Guided by the principles of cultural sport psychology (CSP), this book explores the psychosocial issues surrounding elite sport and psychological practice in Singapore. CSP recognises the importance of understanding people as individuals, rather than objectifying and interpreting psychological processes independent of the socio-cultural context in which they stem from. For sport psychology to progress, it is imperative to distinguish and appreciate the difference between treating someone the same (i.e., culturally blind approach) and treating them equally (i.e., possess cultural awareness). To address the paucity of cultural-specific research, this book explores the psychosocial issues of elite sport in Singapore using CSP as a theoretical and guiding philosophy. Given Singapore's recent successes at the Olympic and Paralympic levels, this book is ideally timed to investigate the social and cultural developments of elite sport as they occur in a specific sociocultural context. The authors argue that if elite sport and sport psychology is to progress in Singapore, there is a need to refine its elite ecosystem, regulate the practice of sport psychology, and work towards establishing a professional community centred around a culture of constructive exchange, debate and cooperation. This book presents a blueprint to any researcher, national institute, or practitioner, to systematically explore the culture and context within which they operate and organise action plans to address unique needs that were identified through this process.

  One Foot on the Podium , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 458min

  If you're likely to buy only one audiobook this year, make sure it's a ripper. Make it one about a boy from the bush who's hell-bent on becoming an elite sportsman. Be sure it's a true story, with ups and downs and plenty of fun times you can relate to. An inspiring insight into triumph over adversity probably won't go astray either. Born without the lower half of his left leg, young Don Elgin never considered himself disabled until he was in high school - and even then, he had to be convinced. His story, of a boy from the bush who battled the odds and finally stepped onto the podium as a medallist at the Sydney Paralympics, is one of absolute inspiration. Driven by an inherited sense of grit, determination and pure guts, Don overcomes an abundance of obstacles to rise to the top of the sporting heap. His life's philosophy tells us that success is not a birthright - it's earned. The one audiobook you should buy this year tells the true story of a boy with a couple of missing body-parts and a very naughty streak that gets him in and out of trouble with his parents, school teachers and the police on his journey to the peak of Paralympic athletic competition. The one audiobook you should definitely buy this year is One Foot on the Podium, by Don Elgin (with Kevin Moloney). Don Elgin: One Foot on the Podium is not just the rags-to-riches story of a poor disabled boy who becomes an elite athlete. It's a tell-all tale laced with his natural humour and just enough larrikinism to make him loveable. The way Don tells his story is the reason he's one of the most entertaining and engaging speakers on the Australian circuit today. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Don Elgin.

  This Mysterious Realm Called Sleep: Book 3: Amazing Truths About Past and Future Time Travel While Asleep - Some Journeys Saved Lives, Others Were Tragically Ignored , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min

  How did a beautiful little blonde girl called Reeva Rebecca Steenkamp predict her own violent murder when she was a teenager? Reeva made headlines around the world after Valentine's Day 2013, when she was savagely killed by her lover - double-amputee paralympic champion and Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius. American schoolboy Matt Thieu, 14, had a vivid dream in which a deranged gunman went berserk at his school - Deer Park Middle in Jefferson County. That nightmare foretold yet another deadly school shooting. Matt survived, but a bullet shattered his ribs and punctured his lung. In 1935, Iris Farczady, the 15-year-old daughter of a Budapest engineer, had influenza and hovered near death. Early in her recovery, she amazed her family by seeming to have forgotten her own language. She spoke only Spanish and did not recognize her mother, whom she called Señora. Then came more incredible revelations about the spirits of two females - one physically dead, the other alive - battling to inhabit the body of Iris. Rosa Menichelli was dead. That is what everyone believed. But long after her burial, she appeared to be sending desperate help-me messages from the grave. That was why they arranged to have her exhumed. They found only her skeleton, and it was upside down. Two doctors examined the coffin carefully. On the lid and the side walls were scratch marks. More were on the base, and it seemed she had wriggled over and tried to claw her way downwards. The coffin was sealed and re-buried, and Doctor Stoppolino wrote in his notes: "Nobody but herself could know that Rosa Menichelli was buried alive. We shall never know how her voice came across the frontiers of time to tell us." On October 19, 1966, 10-year-old Eryl Mai Jones surprised her mother with a strange statement: "Mummy, I'm not afraid to die." Why? Because she'd dreamt of her own death. And she predicted accurately that she would then be buried between two of her friends. Two ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Graham Watkins.
