Описание:
Despite society's current preoccupation with interrelated issues such as obesity, increasingly sedentary lifestyles and children's health, there has until now been little published research that directly addresses the place and meaning of physical activity in young people's lives. In this important new collection, leading international scholars address that deficit by exploring the differences in young people's experiences and meanings of physical activity as these are related to their social, cultural and geographical locations, to their abilities and their social and personal biographies.
The book places young people's everyday lives at the centre of the study, arguing that it this 'everydayness' (school, work, friendships, ethnicity, family routines, interests, finances, location) that is key to shaping the engagement of young people in physical activity. By allowing the voices of young people to be heard through these pages, the book helps the reader to make sense of how young people see physical activity in their lives.
Drawing on a breadth of theoretical frameworks, and challenging the orthodox assumptions that underpin contemporary physical activity policy, interventions and curricula, this book powerfully refutes the argument that young people are 'the problem' and instead demonstrates the complex social constructions of physical activity in the lives of young people. Young People, Physical Activity and the Everyday is essential reading for both students and researchers with a particular interest physical activity, physical education, health, youth work and social policy.
Описание: Starting a business can be easy. Doubling revenue after losing 80 percent of the company's sales team in the depths of the worst recession in 80 years---not so much. Statistics from the "Great Recession" have been grim: 200,000 small businesses across the country were forced to close their doors over the past five years, causing a loss of over 3 million jobs. Given those kind of numbers, most small businesses are happy to simply survive these days. But Jay Myers, founder and CEO of Interactive Solutions, Inc. (ISI), headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, took a different approach. Myers and his company made a conscious decision in 2007 that they were "not going to participate in the recession" and weathered both personal and professional crisis to not only strengthen the company but grow ISI's business like never before. A storyteller at heart, Myers offers readers plenty of solid tips and practical advice that any entrepreneur and small business owner can appreciate and apply. But he also challenges these same entrepreneurs and small business owners to get "out of their comfort zone" and embrace creative new strategies such as employee accountability and second chances, niche marketing, and using your book as your hook. Myers shows small business owners and entrepreneurs to not only hit the curveballs that are thrown their way, but actually use them to grow their business like never before.
