Glissading, David A. Bainbridge

David A Bainbridge

Glissading offers the purest form of snow sports and is an important skill for mountaineers. Learning how to glissade can be an end in itself, for recreation, or a technique to safely descend mountain slopes when speed is of the essence. Training can reduce risk and improve safety in mountain travel.

La Crisis Del Fútbol Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq., Pablo Samaniego Dec 2013

La Crisis Del Fútbol Ecuatoriano, Fernando Carrión Mena Arq., Pablo Samaniego

Fernando Carrión Mena

El fútbol ecuatoriano ha logrado avances significativos que se reflejaron en su desempeño internacional, en paralelo a importantes aumentos en sus presupuestos. Sin embargo, y a pesar de esta combinación de éxitos futbolísticos y boom económico, en 2013 se empiezan a manifestar cuatro elementos que configuran una crisis estructural: el populismo financiero que hace insostenible su economía; la falta de normas y transparencia en sus marcos institucionales; el aumento de la violencia –que ahuyenta a los hinchas–; y, finalmente, lo que comienza a percibirse como el debilitamiento de los buenos resultados de los últimos años. Frente a ello, parece más …

Sport And Film (Routledge, 2013), Seán Crosson Dr.

Seán Crosson

The sports film has become one of commercial cinema's most recognizable genres.

Sport and Film traces the history of the sports film, from the beginnings of cinema in the 1890s, its consolidation as a distinct fiction …

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effectiveness of a mental skills training (MST) program for male youth elite rugby athletes. Three focus groups were held with 21 under-16 male rugby athletes and four male coaches involved in the MST program to examine the quality of service delivery, athlete responses to the MST program, the mental qualities used by athletes, and its perceived influence on athlete performance. Following inductive-deductive content analysis, 40 subcategories and 16 categories emerged. Participants believed the MST program to be an interactive, well-planned program that increased athlete understanding of MST methods and awareness of …

Sport And The Media In Ireland: An Introduction, Seán Crosson Dr., Philip Dine Apr 2011

Sport And The Media In Ireland: An Introduction, Seán Crosson Dr., Philip Dine

Seán Crosson

[Introduction to Media History Special Issue on Sport and the Media in Ireland]. The symbiotic relationship that has existed since the mid-nineteenth century between sport and the media - from the popular press, through newsreels and radio, to television, and beyond - is so well established as hardly to require comment. However, the very familiarity of this long and successful marriage should not blind us to its abiding, and abidingly remarkable, affective power, both for individuals and for communities, real and ‘imagined’, of all kinds. We may thus legitimately pause to reflect on the key role played by the media …


“Croke Park Goes Plumb Crazy”: Pathé Newsreels And Gaelic Games, 1920-1939, Seán Crosson Dr., Dónal Mcanallen Dr. Jan 2011

“Croke Park Goes Plumb Crazy”: Pathé Newsreels And Gaelic Games, 1920-1939, Seán Crosson Dr., Dónal Mcanallen Dr.

Seán Crosson

(Co-written with Dónal McAnallen) From the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, and over the next two decades, arose great efforts in Ireland to augment political independence from Britain with enhanced cultural separation. During this period the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) enjoyed a boom in numbers of players and supporters, thus confirming hurling and Gaelic football as the definitively Irish national games and the association itself as the most popular mass movement for the expression of independent Irish identity. Yet paradoxically, given the popular association of Gaelic games with Irish independence, nearly all footage of these games from …


Exploring European Sporting Identities: History, Theory, Methodology, Seán Crosson Dr., Philip Dine Oct 2010

Exploring European Sporting Identities: History, Theory, Methodology, Seán Crosson Dr., Philip Dine

Seán Crosson

This collaborative study (an introduction to the collection Sport, Representation, and Evolving Identities in Europe) is intended to contribute to the ongoing elucidation of the role of sport in the processes of identity construction in contemporary societies, including an overview of its historical development and the major theoretical and methodological approaches to the examination of sport. Since the pioneering work of Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger on ‘the invention of tradition’ (1983), and Benedict Anderson on ‘imagined communities’ (1983), modern games have regularly been identified as a core component in the construction of Europeans’ individual and communal senses of self, …

Gaelic Games And “The Movies”, Seán Crosson Dr. Jan 2009

Gaelic Games And “The Movies”, Seán Crosson Dr.

Seán Crosson

From the earliest days of the cinema, sport was one of the most popular subjects of representation. Unsurprisingly, when film arrived in Ireland, Irish sport, including gaelic games, would soon feature. Gaelic games were exhibited in both actualities and newsreel, even if many of these, particularly between the wars, would emerge from foreign companies, often with a strong British bias. However, it is difficult to definitively identify a distinct genre of Irish sports film per se – outside of documentary - and indeed few Irish fiction films that feature sport at all, and still less that feature gaelic games. However, …

The Turn To Aesthetics: An Interdisciplinary Exchange Of Ideas In Applied And Philosophical Aesthetics, Clive A. Palmer

Clive Palmer

Chapters and proceedings from an international conference on Aesthetics held at Liverpool Hope University 5th–8th June 2007.

The overall aim of the conference was to learn from interdisciplinary debate and to encourage an exchange of ideas on research of the highest …
