If the first book of this HOCKEY series "A Philosophical Game" was written for general fans and the previous one "50 Tips from Intelligent Players" was targeted to players; this book "Tactical Dilemmas" is clearly addressed to coaches. A dilemma is a situation in which apparently you have to choose between two possibilities, both of them being, a priori, plausible and equally desirable. I decided to use the format of "dilemmas" in order to express the crucial value of tactical decisions: choices that we are in charge of making. In this book I have tried to empty all my current knowledge and experience. In the first person I often had to face these dilemmas and its consequences, for good or i...
Have you ever thought about what you should perceive before receiving the ball? And what is the first thing to attend after receiving it? Have you ever noticed how intelligent players defend inside the circle? And how do they use their body to protect the ball? Have you ever felt that intelligent players are ahead of the action? Inside these pages you will find "tips" about tactical principles but also about skill acquisition. You will find tips about mental strength but also about social intelligence. There are tips about how to optimize your perception but also about how to make right decisions. The aim of this book is to provide 50 concrete and useful tips about things that most intelligent players do. The text is written by a coach but is directly addressed to you, players: the real protagonists of this game.
No team can't function anymore like a rígid machine, with predefined mechanisms and protocols. However, no team can't function without any kind of organization and common language either. The key is precisely to find this grey area where we can induce a certain level of coordination and at the same time flexibility and adaptation. As coaches, one of our main responsibilities will be to generate a "Game Model". A Game Model can be understood as the common interpretative framework that will promote different patterns of coordination between our players. And coaches will have to design training sessions respecting this complex and variable nature, and training sessions where the Game Model is ...
This book emerges as a compilation of 33 different texts, produced by Andreu Enrich during the last three years. All texts revolve around the nature of our sport while addressing a broad variety of topics. You will find reviews from major hockey events, articles about the rules of the game and its different formats.

However, the most important part of the book is about coaching and playing, so the reader will find many articles on these two topics. Andreu's way of approaching these topics is eminently philosophical. He tries to highlight new points of view while provoking, promoting the surpris...

Anti-Empire explores how different writers across Lusophone spaces engage with imperial and colonial power at its various levels of domination, while imagining alternatives to dominant discourses pertaining to race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, and class. This project thus offers in-depth interrogations of racial politics, gender performance, socio-economic divisions, political structures, and the intersections of these facets of domination and hegemony.
FROM THE WINNERS OF THE 2019 NOBEL PRIZE IN ECONOMICS 'Wonderfully refreshing . . . A must read' Thomas Piketty In this revolutionary book, prize-winning economists Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo show how economics, when done right, can help us solve the thorniest social and political problems of our day. From immigration to inequality, slowing growth to accelerating climate change, we have the resources to address the challenges we face but we are so often blinded by ideology. Original, provocative and urgent, Good Economics for Hard Times offers the new thinking that we need. It builds on cutting-edge research in economics - and years of exploring the most effective solutions to alleviate extreme poverty - to make a persuasive case for an intelligent interventionism and a society built on compassion and respect. A much-needed antidote to polarized discourse, this book shines a light to help us appreciate and understand our precariously balanced world.
