Today's NFL fans have more viewing options than ever before ... Read more

Today's NFL fans have more viewing options than ever before. Each and every week, football addicts plant themselves in front of big-screen, high-definition TVs and watch the game they love unfold via slow-motion replays and multiple camera angles, pausing and fast-forwarding the action on their DVRs as they please. Yet while more and more football fans are watching the NFL each week, many of them don't know exactly what they should be watching. What does the offense's formation tell you about the play that's about to be run? When a quarterback throws a pass toward the sideline and the wide receiver cuts inside, which player is to blame? Why does a defensive end look like a Hall of Famer one week and a candidate for the practice squad the next? These are the questions football fans ask during every game they watch, and for too long, they've lacked the kind of insight and information that courses through coaches' offices, locker rooms, and meetings throughout the NFL. Football fans are starving to learn more about the game they love, to appreciate the intricacies of their sport the way baseball fans do theirs. Now Pat Kirwan, popular analyst for NFL.com and Sirius NFL Radio and a veteran front office executive, and co-author David Seigerman present Take Your Eye Off the Ball, a book that takes you inside a coach's mind as he builds a roster or constructs a game plan, to the line of scrimmage with the quarterback, and deep into the perpetual chess match between offense and defense. Take Your Eye Off the Ball is not a beginner's introduction to football, nor is it a technical manual for only the most studious of fans. Instead, it clearly and simply explains the intricacies and nuances that affect the outcomes of every NFL game. No more passively watching the action unfold with only the TV analyst's clichés to guide you, no more wondering why one player is on the field and not another. Take Your Eye Off the Ball: * Explains the pros and cons of different personnel groups* Tells you what to look for when projecting a college quarterback's success in the NFL* Gives fans a simple, easy-to-remember checklist to help them understand the action on the field Baseball claims to be America's national pastime, but football is its passion. Take Your Eye Off the Ball will make fans feel like they've got their own personal head coach by their side each and every Sunday, enhancing the fan experience by making football more accessible, colorful, and compelling than ever before.

Offside! - How to Coach It, How to Use It, How to Counter I ... Read more

Offside! - How to Coach It, How to Use It, How to Counter It soccer Offside is a tactic that all teams come across on a regular basis. Knowing how to tactically prepare your team when facing a team using the offside tactic can make or break a season. This great new book will show you how to do just that as well as coach your team to play using offside as part of your team tactics. Product Details Undoubtedly the most controversial law in modern soccer is number Eleven concerning offside. This provokes more arguments and more contentious issues than almost anything else that happens on the field. To realize why, you first need to understand the law and how it is applied, why it is important, and how it prompts debate. Offside! explains how to coach your team to understand and use the offside rule to your advantage as well as how to counter it when other teams try to use it for their benefit. Using 74 detailed diagrams, David Williams comprehensively covers how to coach everything relating to offside in a tactically effective way. He begins with why the rule became necessary and then covers every aspect of its application from attacking and defending situations in open play through how it applies to set pieces. The fascination of offside is that it has its strengths but also its weaknesses. By the end of the book you can decide whether you would encourage it and include it in your team defending or avoid it because of the risks, and what instructions you can give your players to beat it. Author, David Williams, currently the Technical Director of the Norwich City Academy, has extensive coaching experience in the English Premier League. He has coached at Leeds United, Everton, Norwich City, and the Manchester United U19 team. Williams also has experience in the international arena having coached the Welsh National Team and is currently the assistant coach of the Welsh National U21, U19 and U17 teams. Minimize

Innova's Swing 1 inflatable single kayak is designed to be quick and lightweight and is built in an environmentally friendly way. The Swing is a decked kayak with a hull shape built to handle anything from a flatwater lake to Class II rivers. It's tubeless construction allows the hull to be inflated to a higher pressure than most other inflatables, creating a stiffer and more efficient boat. Easy to store, transport and set up - the Swing I inflates in about 5 minutes and easily dries off and packs away again for the next adventure.Efficient, lightweight and durable inflatable single handles anything from a small lake to a class II rated river.Hulls are made of LitePack rip-stop polyester fabric, rubber-coated on the interior for air-retention, and Teflon -treated on the outside for water repellency and stain resistance.Air-holding seams are vulcanized and permanently bonded (similar to the way in which tires are vulcanized). Each chamber is individually tested at the factory for air retention.Deck is urethane-coated with zippered access for gear storage and cleaning ease. The decks shed water quickly and easily.The deck support system uses aluminum arches fore and aft of the cockpit openings. These arches are set crosswise and provide a deck shape and structure. The arches contribute to the stiffness of the Swing for paddling in rough water. These arches can be removed easily for a compact folded package, or left in the kayak for a slightly larger folded size.Three separate air chambers provide safety ? in the unlikely event one is ever compromised, there is sufficient flotation to be able to navigate the kayak to shore.Bayonet style valves make it easy to inflate and deflate and will not leak air.A pressure relief valve is installed in the kayak floor chamber to relieve possible overpressure.Kayak kit includes tracking fin and repair kit.
