Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Dodgeball is no longer just a playground game. It is an organised international sport with clubs, leagues, national teams, world championships, coaching pathways, officiating roles, events, media opportunities and the beginnings of a professional economy.The Pro Sports Guidebook to Dodgeball is a practical, illustrated guide for anyone who wants to understand where they could fit into that world.Whether you want to compete seriously, coach players, become an official, help run a club or tournament, work in media or performance support, or simply understand how modern competitive dodgeball operates, this book takes you beyond the basic idea of throwing a ball at an opponent and into the structure of the sport itself.Competitive dodgeball rewards far more than throwing power. Accuracy, catching, movement, possession, timing, communication and tactical judgement all matter. Foam and cloth formats create different playing demands, teams develop coordinated attacks and defensive systems, and players can progress from local competition towards national and international events.The book also deals with the question many sporting guides avoid: can you actually earn from dodgeball?Professional opportunities are beginning to appear, but elite competition does not automatically mean a salary. This guide separates sporting achievement from commercial reality, examining where money currently enters the game, what players may spend before they earn, and why coaching, officiating, event management, media and specialist support can sometimes provide more immediate career opportunities than playing itself.Inside you will find: Competitive rules, courts and equipment, including the differences between foam and cloth dodgeballThrowing, catching, blocking, dodging and movement skillsTeam roles, possession, coordinated attacks and tactical decision-makingTraining methods for players and competitive teamsDomestic leagues, international competition and national-team pathwaysA realistic route towards becoming a competitive playerCoaching qualifications, session planning and player developmentRefereeing, officiating and paid event opportunitiesMedia, photography, video, performance analysis and support careersProfessional and emerging paid competitionHow clubs, events, sponsorship, broadcasting and participation generate moneyCareer-readiness, event-planning and budgeting checklistsA practical glossary and competitive rules referenceThe guide is deliberately international. Dodgeball has developed differently across Europe, North America, Asia, Oceania, Africa and Latin America, and no single national pathway is treated as the only way into the sport. Examples from governing bodies, leagues and competitions are used to show how different systems work while keeping the focus on skills and career principles that travel.It is also written for more than one kind of reader. You do not have to be a young elite athlete to have a place in competitive dodgeball. Players, newcomers, coaches, officials, volunteers, organisers, photographers, analysts, sports professionals and people looking for an unusual route into the wider sporting industry can all find potential pathways around the same court.With extensive black-and-white diagrams, tactical illustrations, career graphics, checklists and reference material, this edition has been designed as a visual print guide that can be returned to repeatedly, not simply read once and forgotten.The Pro Sports Guidebook to Dodgeball shows what competitive dodgeball looks like now, where the Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Boxing is more than learning how to punch. It is a global sport, a demanding career path and a complex business built around gyms, coaches, officials, promoters, broadcasters, sponsors and fighters.The Pro Sports Guidebook to Boxing explains how the sport works from the first gym session to international competition and professional prizefighting. Written for beginners, developing boxers, parents, coaches, career changers and anyone interested in the fight business, this practical guide looks beyond famous champions to show how people actually enter boxing, develop credibility, find work and build sustainable opportunities around the ring.The book begins with the sport itself. Readers are introduced to medal boxing and professional prizefighting, the global culture of boxing, the ring, equipment, weight divisions, rules, scoring, technique, tactics, training and progression. It also examines safety, injury, weight management, life after competition and the difficult decisions involved in choosing the right pathway.The second part explores five core career routes: The Boxer, including both the international medal pathway and professional prizefightingThe Coach and Manager, from club development to elite preparation and career representationThe Official, including referees, judges, timekeepers and supervisorsThe Organiser and Promoter, covering gyms, venues, rings, club shows and professional eventsMedia and Content Creation, including journalism, photography, commentary, broadcasting and digital mediaThe business section explains where money enters boxing, who earns from it and why ability alone does not determine commercial value. It covers purses, ticket sales, sponsorship, broadcasting, rankings, contracts, image rights, gym economics, event costs, matchmaking, exploitation, boxer welfare and the changing future of the sport.Readers will also find practical appendices covering rules and scoring, weight divisions, career pathways, working checklists, major international organisations, key terminology and further reading.This guide does not promise that boxing is an easy route to fame or wealth. Most participants will never become world champions, and many boxing jobs begin with limited income, volunteering or work alongside another career. What the sport can offer is discipline, confidence, community, practical skills and a wide range of opportunities for people willing to train, learn and build a reputation properly.Inside the book you will discover: How to choose a boxing gym and prepare for competitionThe difference between Olympic-style medal boxing and professional prizefightingHow boxers progress from local contests to national and international levelsWhat coaches, managers, officials, promoters and media workers actually doHow boxing gyms and fight events make, lose and manage moneyHow rankings, titles, contracts and promoters influence a boxer's careerHow sponsorship, ticket sales and media attention affect earning potentialThe risks of poor matchmaking, weight cutting, weak contracts and inadequate insuranceHow to protect health, reputation and long-term career optionsHow to move into boxing work without relying on becoming a successful fighter firstWhether you want to compete, coach, officiate, run a gym, organise events, promote fighters or create boxing media, The Pro Sports Guidebook to Boxing provides a realistic starting point for understanding the sport, the careers within it and the global business that surrounds every bout.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A Rough Start Guide to Competitive Eating is a practical, funny and serious guide to food challenges.A serious guide to a ridiculous subject.Competitive eating looks simple from the outside. A plate. A timer. A crowd. A person trying to finish something no sensible adult should have ordered in the first place.But behind the giant breakfasts, burger towers, hot dog championships, curry dares, steak challenges, ice cream contests and restaurant wall-of-fame photographs is a strange and fascinating world of rules, reputation, business, risk, spectacle and human vanity.A Rough Start Guide to Competitive Eating: The Business, Risk and Theatre of Food Challenges is a practical, funny and surprisingly serious guide to one of the world's most absurd public tests. It explains what competitive eating actually is, how food challenges developed, why America became the most visible market, how local restaurant challenges work, how beginners find events, how competitors build a name, and why venues, sponsors, content creators and festival organisers all gather around the same oversized plate.This is not a reckless manual for overeating. It is a field guide to the culture around it.Inside, readers will find chapters on the history of competitive eating, the rise of Coney Island and Nathan's Famous, the American contest machine, restaurant wall-of-fame culture, how to find and enter food challenges, how to move from local challenger to known competitor, and how reputation, persona and entertainment value shape the scene. It also examines the physical reality of eating contests, including choking risks, stomach strain, spice distress, recovery, health consequences, scandals, disqualifications, safer contest design and the importance of knowing when to stop.The book also includes directory-style appendices covering food challenge and eating contest leads across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe and the rest of the world, with repeated reminders that readers should verify current rules, prizes and availability before travelling.An external AI review described the book as: "A smart, serious, and surprisingly thoughtful deep dive into competitive eating and food challenges."It also called the book: "Practical for beginners, informative for the curious, cautionary for the reckless, and useful even for restaurant owners or event organizers."That is exactly the point. This is a book for anyone who has ever watched a giant food challenge video and wondered what is really going on. It is for curious readers, would-be challengers, restaurant owners, pub landlords, food festival organisers, YouTubers, content creators, competitive eating fans, and people who simply enjoy odd corners of human behaviour.It is also a strong gift book.For Father's Day, it is ideal for dads who love food, sport, strange facts, pub challenges, Man v. Food-style television, barbecue culture, diners, American roadside restaurants, or books about unusual subcultures.For Christmas, it works as a funny but substantial present: the sort of book someone can unwrap, laugh at, flick through for the pictures and lists, then end up reading properly because the subject is far more interesting than expected."I could probably do that."They probably cannot.But if they still want to understand the world of giant plates, brutal timers, champion eaters, suspiciously confident amateurs and glorious free T-shirts, this is the place to start.The plate is waiting. This book makes sure you understand what you are actually signing up for.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The Rough Start Guide to Treasure Hunting is a serious field manual for readers who want to understand treasure hunting as it really is, not as fantasy, folklore, or social media performance, but as a practical discipline built on research, permissions, land access, site reading, object handling, law, judgment, and patience.This book begins with the familiar image most people have in mind, the metal detector in a field, but it does not stay there. It opens the subject properly. Treasure hunting is presented as a broad and demanding world that includes coin hunting, relic recovery, prospecting for gold and gemstones, fossil finds, underwater search, wreck related recovery, archival research, provenance, storage, market value, and the legal line between an honest find and a compromised one. It treats hidden value as part history, part fieldcraft, part business, and part discipline.Rather than promising easy riches or repeating romantic myths, this guide explains how real searchers think. It looks at why some ground produces better results than others, how routes and crossings concentrate loss, how old maps and archives can turn guesswork into target selection, how finds should be recorded and grouped, how significance changes the way a site must be handled, and why permissions and reporting are not side issues but the foundation of the whole trade.Inside the book you will find material on: metal detecting and everyday field recoverypermissions, land access, and legal realitiesreading routes, crossings, fields, shorelines, and work sitescoins, relics, hoards, caches, and grouped findsfossils, bones, and ancient lifegold, gemstones, and natural prospectingrivers, wrecks, and submerged lossesmaps, archives, oral history, and the deep reading of placeremote sensing, drones, sonar, lidar, and technical search toolsfinds handling, provenance, storage, and cataloguingdealers, auction houses, value, and the market after discoverythe difference between finding and takingThis is not a picture book of fantasies about buried pirate chests. It is a practical handbook for readers who want to know how hidden objects are really found, how sites are really understood, and how a searcher can move from loose curiosity to something far more competent and deliberate.It is suitable for: beginners who want a serious introduction instead of shallow hypemetal detectorists who want to improve how they read sites and record findsrelic hunters and prospectors who want a broader framework for the tradefossil hunters who want to see their work placed within a larger discovery economyreaders interested in archaeology, fieldcraft, landscape history, and hidden material culturecollectors who want to understand provenance, grouping, and market value betterlandowners, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to know how the subject works in practiceIt is especially well suited to readers who enjoy books that combine practical instruction with historical depth and who want something more intelligent than a simple beginner's guide. The tone is direct, serious, and grounded. It assumes that the reader can handle complexity and wants substance.If you have ever wondered where treasure really comes from, how good searchers choose their ground, why some finds matter more than others, how a field turns into a site, how a site turns into evidence, or how a discovery moves from soil to storage to market, this book was written for you.This is a guide to treasure hunting for people who want to do the subject properly.
