Wildlife Demography.......2006-07-22

This book is an outstanding wealth of information for the biologists working with complex population dynamics issues. It covers basic concepts as well as the more technical aspects. I highly recommend this book for wildlife managers and applied wildlife biologists.

Book Description

Youth sports have become a pressure cooker of expectations. Parents scream abuse at players, coaches, and referees. Coaches demand that their teams win, at any cost. Kids practice day and night. They face intense pressure to score, to win, to succeed. But is this the measure of success we want to impress upon our children?

In the complex world of today's youth athletic programs, parents face many challenging questions. What is a successful athletic experience? How can you help kids deal with pressure from coaches, players, and other parents? How do you encourage healthy competitiveness and discourage poor sportsmanship? Can you help your child develop a strong work ethic without becoming discouraged at the slow progress? How do you support a child who sits on the bench all year long? What's the best way to encourage your strong-willed all-star to support his teammates? How do you teach a child to accept criticism positively? Most important, how do you help your child absorb real core values from sports? How can you use sports as a vehicle to talk to kids about life's challenges?

In Raising a Team Player, Harry Sheehy answers these questions and more. Offering lessons and wisdom learned from more than seventeen years of working with elementary school children, high schoolers, and college players, Sheehy encourages parents to get involved in their kids' athletic experiences. He offers advice on how to praise, encourage, inspire, build, temper, support, and teach, working with children on everything from setting goals to teaching sportsmanship and humility to building character and a sense of self-worth. With direct, compelling words, Sheehy inspires in parents and coaches an attitude of self-realization, humor, confidence, and enthusiasm for both the successes and mistakes of young athletes.

Don't waste your time.......2003-10-23

After I read all the good reviews about this book on Amazon I decided to go ahead and buy it. What a mistake. By far the worst book I have ever started to read. I did not finish this awful book and I am hoping to recieve a refund on it. If I do not get a refund I think that it will be used as my puppies potty trainning papers. I hope I saved you from wasting your money and time. A concerned Eph.

Ian.......2002-05-19

I like this book so much. It has taught me lots of valuable information about sportsmanship. It has also taught me how to "take" a loss. This book really deserves a five-star rating. I would recommend it to anyone--young or old.

What "Team" means.......2002-05-04

If you have ever seen a Harry Sheehy team play, and you know anything about basketball, you've seen a prime example of team play. Year in, year out, with a lot of talent or without, his teams get maximum results from their talent. Winning with talent is easy...winning as many games as possible, every year requires great coaching skill.
Harry has brought that same talent to writing. If you have a child or children who like sports, get this book...read it...and read it again until you REALLY understand what Harry is saying...then put his ideas into action...you and your kids will be much better for it.

excellent and easy to read.......2002-04-27

Harry Sheehy wrote an great book, here. It's easy to read, straight to the point, and provides valuable information and ideas for parents of children in sports. A read I would reccomend to many people.

A pleasure to read.......2002-04-26

Harry Sheehy really nails so many critical ideas in this book. The most important for me was the concept that values are taught through sports, just as much as skills. We need to carefully evaluate what we are teaching and how we are teaching it. Both parents and coaches will benefit from reading this book and thinking about the key ideas it contains. It made me think. I especially enjoyed the chapter on enthusiasm, and the parts which talk about teams and the many ways kids need to contribute to make a team successful. The acecdote about the reserve on the basketball team who had such a powerful effect on the practices was inspiring. Good lessons for life.

It covers everything you need to know to create a beautiful ceremony text and to anticipate and address all the profound and mundane logistics with ease, grace and fun. It includes hundreds of text excerpts reflecting the many voices with which our hearts speak. There are also ten sample ceremony texts for the inclusion of children, the telling of the couple's story, the renewal of vows and a commitment ceremony. Checklists and worksheets are included to manage all the details. The Wedding Ceremony Planner is also an invaluable resource for clergy of all faiths, wedding planners and location coordinators. Sprinkled with anecdotes about lessons learned by couples creating their weddings, this book is filled with the wisdom of experience

Erased any jitters I had and replaced them with the perfect plan.......2007-10-11

I was a first time officiant about to perform the wedding of two dear friends. I was nervous. Who did I think I was to perform a wedding? I knew I had the credentials, but did I have what it takes?

Under the tutelage of this phenomenal guidebook, I found that I did.

Part One didn't have anything to do with my part of the wedding, but the information is invaluable. It sets the context for the ceremony. Who is involved, where the wedding is, what intention do the bride and groom have for there special day, what is the tone they want to create... that sort of thing.

Part Two was all about the ceremony, in other words - my stuff. In these pages, Judith Johnson laid it all out succinctly while at the same time gave me many ideas. I got a blueprint and a variety of ways to bring that blueprint to life. Reading this section really boosted my confidence.

Part Three included the nitty gritty of weaving all of this together. It gave samples and suggestions, fleshing out some of Part Two and offering the expertise of Johnson's many years of experience.

I know this is a reference book I will refer to over and over and over again. I will recommend it to both officiants and couples alike.

Excellent resource for personalizing your ceremony.......2007-07-07

This book along with Henry Basayne's book was all I needed to create a beautiful heartfelt ceremony with my (then) fiance. Our guests were so touched by the way our ceremony captured our feelings and personalities. I highly recommend it.

the only book to get if you are writing your vows!.......2007-06-08

A friend of ours gave me this book recently in response to my general panic regarding writing and planning our ceremony and vows. It's been the most helpful resource I've had during this process so far, clearly defining and separating each part of the ceremony itself (backtracking to include choosing a spot and participants) while giving clear guidelines, options and the ability to mix and match depending upon the sentiment and emotional goals. There's noting preachy, chiched or trite about Judith Johnson's writing or approach. I'm looking forward to passing it along to our other engaged friends once we are married!

An Excellent Resource.......2007-05-15

This book was an excellent resource to putting together a memorable wedding ceremony. It is up to date and easy to read.

Excellent.......2007-04-27

The only wedding book, of any type, that I have actually read. It's astonishing how similar most wedding-related books are, and how little is said. Usually I find myself flipping through them to see if anything sparks an idea. A thoughtful, rich book on the topic of wedding ceremonies.
