Families, Pre-School Sport, and Physical Activity
Bringing together international authors writing from a social science perspective on babies, toddlers and pre-school sport and physical activity, this book explores the social and cultural context in which children under five take part in sport and physical activity.The book provides a wider understanding of how under-five sport and physical activity (PA) can be understood and how parents' decisions are shaped by economic, cultural, and changing family, work, and social settings. As early childhood is increasingly understood as a time when children are impacted by inequality, poverty and unequal access to opportunities, the text considers how access to enrichment activities may exacerbate inequalities in a post pandemic society and during a cost-of-living crisis. The book is organised into three parts, covering theoretical concepts of childhood and parenting, and then presents parent perspectives, and inclusion in pre-school sport and PA from a UK and international perspective respectively.This is an excellent introduction to the key trends and patterns in under-fives sport and PA for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying sport studies, sport management, sport science, sociology, and cultural studies. It helps students to consider how these patterns can be understood through a socio-cultural lens on equality, families, childhood, and parenting. It is also a valuable resource for academics and researchers in sport, sociology, and social sciences more broadly.

The Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022
This open access book presents a collection of case studies to analyse the FIFA World Cup 2022 held in Qatar, which revealed several complex aspects related to global football - its organization, its community, its related power dynamics, and its socio-economic implications. Behind this mega event lay unspoken narratives about the difficulties of hosting this global tournament in Qatar. This book takes the reader on a journey along the numerous strands connected to this multifaceted event. The case studies excavate both the best practices and the challenges that public policymakers and institutions in Qatar encountered in organizing the FIFA World Cup, including the pressures from various stakeholders involved, including FIFA, the sponsors, the football fans, and the local residents of Qatar. One such case sheds light on the debate surrounding the linkage between government-spending and the subsequent economic impact of hosting such a mega sporting event. The collection also delves into nuanced discussions about volunteering behaviour. Several case studies approach the central questions of sustainability and related implications following the Qatar event. As the first football World Cup to take place in a Middle Eastern country, the case studies also spotlight the role of cultural differences and associated implications, such as nation branding. Relevant to sociologists, economists, business and marketing researchers, and sports studies researchers, this book is a unique compilation bringing together multiple interdisciplinary, critical perspectives on Qatar's FIFA experience - from within the region, and beyond.

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.

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.
