Women Working in Sport
The sport industry has long operated on structures and systems that weren't built for women, especially not for those working behind the scenes as leaders, coaches, developers, or support staff. While progress has been made, too many women still face invisible barriers, cultural bias and professional compromise simply for existing in spaces that weren't designed with them in mind.Women Working in Sport offers a fresh, unapologetic lens on these challenges and moves decisively toward solutions. Through the voices of coaches, psychologists, administrators, academics and directors, this book sheds light on what's holding women back and more importantly, how we move forward.Each chapter is a conversation, a lived experience and a call to action offering not just critique but real insight for organisations serious about equity, wellbeing and performance.For policy-makers, system leaders and anyone shaping the future of sport, this is more than a book. It's a practical resource, a challenge to the status quo, and a roadmap toward building environments where women not only work they thrive.

The World of the Gladiator
The figure of the gladiator is as compelling to us as it was to the Romans. Why are we drawn to this ancient blood sport? The usual explanation of the savagery lurking beneath our veneer of civilization is too simplistic. Gladiatorial combat has always been far more than just an excuse for the enjoyment of violence. From its origins in the funerary religious practices of Republican Rome to the extreme form of entertainment we recognize today, the bloody business of the arena evolved into a microcosm of the Roman Empire, a self-contained world reflecting the culture, attitudes and history of Rome itself. The author brings the games and the gladiators into focus, placing them in their historical and cultural context. Using evidence from all over the Roman world, including fresh archaeological discoveries, the minutiae of the arena are set out and discussed. A picture of the gladiator's life is built up, from training and diet, to social status and mortality rates. The history of the amphitheater, that iconic symbol of bloodletting, is also traced alongside the evolution of the gladiator. Films like Gladiator and Spartacus demonstrate that the idea of two men fighting each other for their lives has lost none of its power in over 2000 years. The particular persistence of this public taste for spectacle is explored, with unavoidable comparisons to the modern world.

Standing Resolute
Standing ResoluteLiving Boldly In Christ We desperately need spiritual courage in today's world. Like the football players I have coached in college, Christians face intense pressure, uncertainty, and hostility. Often, we must stand alone against formidable odds, confronted with trials designed to test our faith and resolve. But just as my players learn to anticipate greatness on the football field, believers should live with a similar expectancy-an assurance that God is working powerfully, even amid adversity.The reality is stark: the world we live in today is openly hostile to Christ and those who follow Him. Around the globe, believers face persecution, imprisonment, and even martyrdom. Yet, in America, comfort has often led to spiritual complacency. Many drift casually in and out of commitment, unaware of the high stakes of their faith. The story of Daniel in the Bible offers lessons on standing firm amidst pressures to conform.It's time to embrace courageous faith, resolve to live uncompromisingly for Christ, and anticipate greatness, not in our strength but through the power and grace of the One who empowers us. Let's stand resolute together. Ron Brown has a long-standing association with Husker football, having served as an assistant coach for 24 seasons. He became the Director of Player Support and Outreach for Nebraska football in 2018 before assuming his current role of coaching punt returners, fullbacks and assisting the running backs coach. He co-founded Kingdom Sports in 2018 and has been a well-known speaker at FCA and churches throughout his career.
