Williams played for Maryland as the starting point guard under coach Bud Millikan. He was a member of the 1966 Charlotte Invitational Tournament championship team and the 1965 Sugar Bowl Tournament championship team.

Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Gordon Bradley (November 23, 1933 April 29, 2008) was an English-American football (soccer) midfielder born and raised on Wearside who played several seasons with lower division English clubs before moving to play in Canada at the age of 30. During the Canadian off-season, he played and coached in the U.S. based German American Soccer League. In 1971, he became a player and head coach for the New York Cosmos. In addition to coaching the Cosmos, he has coached the U.S. national team and at the collegiate and high school levels. Bradley also earned one cap with the U.S. national team in 1973. He is a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame. He spent his last years out of the public eye, suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and spending his last month in a full-care facility in Manassas, Va. Bradley grew up in Sunderland, England where he turned professional with the local Sunderland club at age sixteen. However, his career nearly ended just as it was beginning. During a training session, he shattered his right kneecap kicking a ball and it took over two years before he was fit to play again. In 1950, English conscription laws forced Bradley to choose between working in the government coal mines or entering the military when he turned nineteen. Bradley chose to work in the coal mines at Easington Colliery. In addition to working in the mine, Bradley continued to play football. While he began his career as a forward with Sunderland, the injury slowed Bradley and he moved into defense. Bradley signed with Bradford Park Avenue in 1955 then in 1957, he moved to Carlisle United where he eventually played 130 games, scoring 3 goals. In 1963, Bradley receive… More: |

Biases and heuristics in team member selection decisions. $69 Although team composition as an antecedent to team performance has been studied extensively, team composition as a dependent variable has been relatively neglected. Recent studies on team member selection assume that a group or an organization is conducting the process and propose elaborate models that include numerous factors along two dimensions: taskwork and teamwork. However, when individual decision makers are forming teams, they adopt a simpler heuristic approach that is based on their relational ties to potential team members. The extent of this relational bias, i.e., the proportion of the team to which they have prior relational ties, is explored in this dissertation.;In cases where the decision maker was the team leader, the relational bias was 50% for top-flight professional soccer players choosing their ideal teammates, and 34% for National Football League (NFL) head coaches choosing their coaching staff members. Even in cases where the decision maker was only the selector and not the team leader, the relational bias in the soccer player dataset was 31%. Whether the decision maker was a leader or only a selector was a statistically significant predictor of relational bias. These findings not only support the traditional leadership theories that the leader-member relationship is a central dimension of leadership, but also suggest that relational ties might be important even at the team formation stage.;The NFL head coaches dataset provides evidence that team leaders’ role interdependence is a statistically significant predictor of relational bias not only to the team as a whole, but also to the part of the team structure on which the leaders are more dependent (termed backing-up subunit ).;Content analysis of soccer players’ reports of their selections indicates that taskwork-related rationales were primary (58.2% of the total), followed by tie-related rationales (23%) and teamwork-related rationales (18.8%).

Brand It Like Barack!: How Barack Obama sold himself to America and what you can learn from this. $15.3 On January 16, 2007, Barack Obama announced to his supporters that he would seek the presidency of the United States. On November 4, 2008 he achieved that dream. Who could have predicted the meteoric rise of the relatively unknown Junior Senator from Illinois to become the first African American elected President of the United States? Entering a crowded Democratic field against entrenched competition, how was Barack Obama able win his party’s nomination and dominate the general election? While many are curious as to how Barack Obama was able to accomplish his victory in such short order, the answers are there for the taking. There really is no magic to what he did, but if you don’t know what to look for it may seem like that! Barack Obama used classic and modern marketing principles to elevate his brand above the crowd to win. Following these principles, you can as well.Gary Kaskowitz, MBA, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Management at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA.

COACHING 6, 7 & 8 YEAR OLDS $9.99 WHY WE HAVE CHANGED?The first edition of Coaching 6, 7 & 8 Year Olds was written in collaboration with Bobby Howe, at that time the Director of Coaching for the Washington State Youth Soccer Association, later Director of Coaching for the United States Soccer Federation. That was a long time ago (1988) . . . One year later we published Coaching 9, 10 & 11 Year Olds.Until recently, we hadn’t changed a word in either of them. Why? Like the Energizer Bunny they just kept on going, and going and going . . . !Over 100,000 copies of each of the originals have been sold. As I’m sure you would understand, we were reluctant to change. Consequently, nothing did except the photographs of the two authors. The book didn’t age, but the authors did!Since 1989, we have learned so much. So now it is time to change in order to update and improve the books, but at the same time, we will retain much of the core content that has worked so well.The 21st Century has given as another great technological opportunity – digital printing.We are now able to customize, modify and change the content of the manuals and the covers at will. We can update with every printing. And we can print just one book or 1000. So if, for instance, the Lake Washington Youth Soccer Association wants their version of Coaching 6, 7 & 8 Year Olds, we can do it. If the Franklin Pierce Club only needs 10 customized copies of 9, 10 & 11 Manual for the coaches of their small club, we can do that too!And if we come up with the newest game that children think is a blast, we can insert that in the very next print.Tony Waiters |

Canadian Futsal Players $10.09 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic league only.* Appearances (Goals) Alexander ‘Alex’ Bunbury (born June 18, 1967 in Plaisance, Guyana) is a former Canadian professional footballer, who played as a striker. Bunbury started playing professionally with the Hamilton Steelers in Canada, also having one-year spells in the Canadian Soccer League with the Toronto Blizzard and Montreal Supra. In 1993, after an unassuming season for West Ham United (only six appearances overall), he moved to Portugal’s C.S. Marítimo, going on to become the Madeira club’s all-time leading goalscorer in the first division, with 59 goals in 165 games. In his second season, he won the Foreign Player of the Year award. His final season proved to be the most prolific, when he scored 15 league goals. In early 1999, after requesting a move to play closer to his hometown of Montreal, Bunbury returned to North America, and retired after two seasons with the Kansas City Wizards of the Major League Soccer. Subsequently, he took up coaching, first with Bangu FC, then at the Minnesota Thunder Academy (MTA). Bunbury was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in April 2006. Bunbury played in all three of Canada’s games at the 1985 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Soviet Union. He made his senior debut in an August 1986 Merlion Cup match against Singapore, and went on to earn 64 caps, scoring 16 goals. Bunbury ranked third in the all-time scorer’s list, and fifth in caps (June 17, 2008). He represented Canada in 28 World Cup qualifiers and played at the inaugural 1989 FIFA Futsal World Championship. His final international was a November 1997 World Cup qualification match against Costa Rica, a game after which Paul Dolan, Geoff Aunger, Frank Yallop… More: |

Death by Suburb: How to Keep the Suburbs from Killing Your Soul $0.25 A great number of seekers find themselves in the seemingly unreal world of the suburbs. They read spirituality books but find themselves in carpools and coaching soccer, not in monasteries. Dave Goetz, a former pastor, shows that the suburbs are a real world, but a spiritually corrosive one. The land of SUVs and soccer leagues can truly be toxic to the soul. Suburbanites need to understand how the environment affects them and what spiritual disciplines are needed for their faith to survive and thrive. Goetz identifies eight toxins in the suburban life, such as hyper–competition and the “transactional” friendship, and suggests eight corresponding disciplines to keep the spiritual life authentic. Goetz weaves sociology studies, his own experiences, current events, wisdom of the spiritual masters, and a little humor to equip spiritual suburbanites for how to relate to God amidst Starbucks, strip–malls, and perfect lawns. |

It’s OK to Tell: A Story of Hope and Recovery $10.28 Lauren Book, now 25, was 11 years old when her new nanny, Waldina Flores, joined the family. For the next six years Lauren endured daily sexual and physical abuse. “I was a people pleaser,” she says. “I was beaten every day…Waldy was very smart, like all predators are. She hit me and bruised me where my parents wouldn’t look. When you are 13 and 14 parents never look at their children’s stomachs or lower backs or butts or upper thighs.”Lauren is the oldest of three children; her father, Ron Book, is a prominent Florida attorney and lobbyist. In 2002, after being encouraged by her boyfriend, Lauren confessed to her therapist, who in turn called her parents. Her father fired Flores. She fled to Oklahoma and was arrested one month later while coaching a 10-year-old girls’ soccer team. While in prison, Flores wrote love letters to Lauren asking for money and ultimately was sentenced to another 10 years on top of the initial 15 years. Since then, Lauren and her father have successfully mounted a legislative onslaught against predators; the many laws they are responsible for include the right to get 48-hour access to predators’ HIV test results, a ban on molesters from ever contacting their victims or families, passed legislation to create a statewide network of sexual assault treatment centers, and the controversial act that barred predators from living 2500 feet from public places where children gather such as schools, parks, and playgrounds. Lauren’s memoir is a book about hope in the face of extreme adversity. While it deals with a tremendously sensitive and “dark” subject, the hope that it delivers to readers carries an everlasting positive impact. Her story will empower readers to address abuse issues in their own lives and move them to understand the resulting deep emotional matrix that results from abuse and the incredible power of an individual’s ability to recover and |

Soccer Training: Developing the 360 Player $7.6 The techniques outlined in this book will show players and coaches how players can become proficient with both feet. Because most players rely almost exclusively on their dominant foot, their repertoire of solutions is obviously limited. Unfortunately, in most cases players are presented with training sessions that cater to their dominant side and their coaches rarely, if ever, train or even encourage the use of the weaker foot. In this book, Martin Bidzinski presents a training method that focuses on developing physically balanced players who are comfortable playing the ball with either foot to any direction of play, thus giving them the full 360° range of playing options. Each exercise is illustrated and explained with coaching points. |

In the summer of 2003, Milutinovi was in serious negotiations to finally take over the national team at his native Serbia . Despite heavy, month-long persuasion from Serbian football officials, Milutinovi turned down the offer and soon signed on to the Honduras national team . He led the team to the first round of CONCACAF qualifiers before resigning on June 30, 2004. He cited “the prevailing bad atmosphere, created by comments made by the country’s managers, officials and press” as the reason for his leaving during World Cup qualifying. Milutinovi ‘s coaching career at club level has not been nearly as illustrious. He coached the MetroStars of Major League Soccer to the worst record in league history in 1999. He also had a brief stint in Qatar league with Al-Sadd as well as nine matches with Udinese Calcio of Italian Serie B in 1987. Bora led Iraq national football team in the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup for 2 draws and one loss. Bora’s |
