A Sport for Every Kid
A valuable and insightful guide, A Sport for Every Kid helps parents identify the best sport for children of all abilities. Parents seeking to recommend an appropriate recreational pastime often experience frustration when neither parent nor child can find the right sport to match the child's strengths and interests. Nicole Sperekas, PhD, demonstrates ways to discern whether a child enjoys a sport, and, if not, how to introduce other options. Parents will find important chapters on issues such as proper nutrition for the young athlete, ways to identify positive-and negative-coaching styles, and how to determine if your child should move to a higher level of competition in his or her chosen sport. In addition, a section of fact sheets presents key information on more than fifty sports.

MMA Mastery: Strike Combinations
Covering the essential tactic and art of striking in a series of blows, this guide illustrates how today's best mixed martial arts fighters have discovered the devastating effect of "punches in bunches," or strike combinations—a mix that includes fists, kicks, elbows, and knees. The importance of striking in multiples of three is emphasized with an explanation of how to stage strikes in order to maximize load and release, counterstriking, creating angles, and straight striking. Also included is the tactical role of footwork, how to merge defensive and offensive moves, and overcoming the various challenges posed by range. Avoiding a common blend of different styles, this reference takes the most efficient combinations culled from elite competition and presents them in stair-stepped drill sets, enabling fighters to utilize the same striking approaches advocated by the best coaches and competitors in the business.
