Learning Sports

John Schulian, a much-honored sportswriter for nearly forty years, takes us back to a time when our greatest athletes stood before us as human beings, not remote gods. In this compelling collection, Schulian paints prose portraits to remind fans of what today's cloistered stars won't share with them. The result is an audiobook guaranteed to stir memories for the generation that was - and to leave subsequent generations wishing they had it so good.

From her first strokes as a novice, Ginny Gilder found herself in a new world, training with Olympic rowers and participating in the famous Title IX naked protest, which helped define the movement for equality in college sports.

And then there's the fact that she's starting for the Red Bend High School football team, as the first girl linebacker in northern Wisconsin, probably. Which just shows you can't predict the future.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association has come under fire. Fans have begun to realize that the athletes involved in the two biggest college sports, men's basketball and football, are little more than indentured servants.

Träumen kann jeder von uns allein, aber umsetzen können wir unsere Pläne und Vorhaben nur gemeinsam mit anderen. In einer immer komplexeren Welt werden solche Dream-Teams als wirkungsvolle Gestalter unserer Zukunft immer wichtiger. Wer erfahren will, wie Träume wahr werden, sollte also wissen, wie sie zusammenfinden, woher sie die Zuversicht nehmen, zu wagen, was alle anderen für nicht realisierbar halten - und woher sie die Kraft schöpfen, um weiterzumachen, auch wenn es scheinbar nicht mehr weitergeht.

It's a scandal that began in a place called Happy Valley. But it's not as happy as it once was, as the child-sex-abuse charges against a longtime coach and the conspiracy of silence surrounding the allegations have rocked America and Division 1 college sports.
