Most books on teaching the martial arts, pertain primarily to one’s wallet. The Broken Rice Bowl is a book which appeals to one’s heart. It is not a quick fix to anything. Rather, it is the telling of a tale of one man, on the quest for making better human beings through individuals stories across time. In The Broken Rice Bowl, such stories focus on what makes for a less-than-worthy teacher, and how to avoid such pitfalls with common sense and technical know-how.

A wonderful how to book that focuses on motivation of a young man in American basketball: Everyone has had a failure, or two or even three.... We often equate failures with negative connotations that the person is lazy, they didn't try hard enough, they aren't educated and so on.... Motivation is not usually the outcome in this situation.

Uno degli aspetti positivi di cui godono i paesi organizzatori delle Olimpiadi è quello di poter iscrivere atleti in tutte le gare. Non servono tempi di qualificazione o misure da riaggiungere. Non ci sono selezioni da superare. Il posto è garantito. Per gli Stati Uniti le Olimpiadi del 1996 ad Atlanta rappresentavano un momento determinante della storia sportiva della nazione.

Fai una cosa che ti sembra straordinaria. E ti rendi conto che non è proprio la cosa più semplice in un'Olimpiade. Ma non ne puoi godere a pieno l'eccezionalità, perché quando verrà, non battuta, ma solo eguagliata, tu non ci sarai già più. È quello che è successo a Paavo Nurmi, il finlandese volante. Così era stato soprannominato. La cosa eccezionale che Nurmi ha fatto è stata vincere nella stessa edizione delle Olimpiadi la gara dei 1500 metri e quella dei 5000.

Dire che Edwin Moses sia stato il più grande interprete dei 400 ostacoli di ogni tempo è dire tanto. Ma è anche non dire abbastanza. Per più di un decennio è stato semplicemente un'altra cosa. Non tanto per i due ori olimpici, per i record mondiali battuti. Nemmeno per quell'imbattibilità durata esattamente nove anni, nove mesi e nove giorni che gli ha fruttato una sequenza interminabile di 122 vittorie consecutive.

Londra, 6 agosto 2012. È in corso la gara della carabina a 50 metri tre posizioni. Si spara sdraiati, seduti, in piedi. Le Olimpiadi sono l'unica vera vetrina per il tiro a segno, uno di quelle discipline che trovi nella pagina "altri sport" dei giornali sportivi. Se le trovi. Il dominatore è un italiano, Niccolò Campriani. Arriva ai 10 tiri finali con un vantaggio di 8 punti, solo lui può buttare via tutto. E sembra intenzionato a farlo.

TennisWorldItalia presenta Concentrarsi sotto stress di Alberto Cei. Avvertire un senso di stabilità e di solidità prima di giocare una partita di tennis è fondamentale: talvolta i giocatori (a volte in modo del tutto inconsapevole) eseguono un respiro profondo, ma spesso non è altro che un tentativo mal riu-scito di riduzione dello stress. Anche quando lo eseguono bene la loro mente continua a essere preda di pensieri inutili e dannosi.

19 luglio 1996, Atlanta. Cerimonia d'apertura della ventiseiesima olimpiade. La fiaccola olimpica entra nello stadio portata dal lanciatore del disco Al Oerter, poi passa nelle mani del campione del mondo dei pesi massimi Evander Holyfield e della vincitrice dei 100 ostacoli di Barcellona Voula Patoulidou. L'ultimo tedoforo è la nuotatrice statunitense Janet Evans che si inerpica su per le tribune. In cima, ad attenderla, c'è qualcuno che la aspetta dietro una quinta. Ancora invisibile agli spettatori e agli occhi delle telecamere.

When Steve Friedman was a child growing up in the suburbs of St. Louis, the game of golf was, to him, mysterious and dark. His father’s passion for it caused friction in his marriage and eluded the interest of his youngest son, who was devoted instead to basketball. For that and many other reasons, the two failed to bond, ultimately leading to an awkward and unhappy relationship. But Friedman never forgot the love his father had for golf, and after many years, when he was in his 40s, he reached out and asked his dad to teach him the game.
