The Zen of Naka: The Journey of a Japanese Genius
by Martin GreigSince his move to Celtic in the summer of 2005, Shunsuke Nakamura has become a cult hero in both Scotland and the Far East. From the wonderful goal in his Champions League debut against Manchester United in 2006 to the strike against Kilmarnock that secured Celtic's league win in 2006-07, Nakamura has firmly established himself as a Celtic legend. Nakamura's ability to confront and overcome adversity has been the key to his success. From his rejection as a youngster by home-town club Yokohama Marinos to his omission from the 2002 World Cup squad by Philippe Troussier and his struggle to adapt to the defensive nature of Italian football, Nakamura has bounced back stronger every time. The Zen of Naka is a comprehensive, revealing account of Nakamura's career to date. It explores his development from the early stages of his footballing journey to his time with Celtic at present, and looks ahead at what the future may hold for the star.

Zero to Hero: The Gareth Southgate Story
by Rob MasonGareth Southgate got the England job by accident. Taking over after Big Sam Allardyce’s reign came to an untimely end after just one game, former England Under 21 boss Southgate looked like the traditional FA blazers’ safe bet: a man who wouldn’t upset anyone, would look smart and be on the back pages, not the front ones. With his trademark waistcoat, finely trimmed fashionable beard and a willingness to share credit rather than look to monopolise it, the former Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Middlesbrough man fitted the image. Had England stumbled through the group stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and then lost gallantly once the knock-out stuff began, Southgate would have simply been another page in the list of England failures, ready to be replaced by a high profile manager of world renown as the FA looked for yet another blueprint for future success. Southgate showed the leadership to bravely cast aside the old guard represented by Joe Hart and Wayne Rooney. Fittingly for a man who had worked successfully with the nation’s brightest young players at Under 21 level he pulled together not just a team of three lions but young lions ready to roar. Suddenly England was a team of pace and panache that could even win penalty shoot-outs. People such as Jordan Pickford, Harry Maguire and Kieran Trippier stepped up to join the immense Harry Kane on the world stage, a stage where Southgate had made headlines for England. This tale traces how Southgate went from zero to hero, from the days when he was a youngster at Crystal Palace to the days when surely Buckingham Palace will be giving him a call as the toast of the nation joins Sir Alf Ramsey and Sir Bobby Robson in the pantheon of England’s most successful managers.

Zervikale Bewegungs- und Kontrolldysfunktionen: Überprüfung der Reliabilität von aktiven Bewegungstests bei Nackenbeschwerden (Best of Therapie)
by Nadja BüttnerNadja Büttner entwickelte eine Testbatterie von aktiven Bewegungstests mit dem Ziel der Identifikation von maladaptiven, zervikalen Bewegungsmustern und der statistischen Berechnung der Intertester-Reliabilität durch visuelle Beobachtung. Anhand einer prospektiven, doppel-blindierten, monozentrischen Querschnittstudie rekrutierte die Autorin 30 Personen mit unspezifischen Nackenbeschwerden, die sieben aktive Bewegungstests durchführten. Die Testbewegungen wurden von zwei unabhängigen Beurteilern als korrekt oder inkorrekt bewertet. Durch ein qualitativ aussagekräftiges Studiendesign mit detaillierten Beschreibungen und Standardisierungen der Testinstruktionen, -ausführungen und -bewertungen hat die Autorin die Studienergebnisse und damit die Bewegungstests im klinischen Praxisalltag umsetzbar gestaltet und für weitere wissenschaftliche Arbeiten nutz- und vergleichbar gemacht.

In this definitive biography, Patrick Fort and Jean Philippe take us behind the scenes of his exceptional career, revealing the man behind the legend.

Zuschauernachfrage von Teamsportarten in ressourcenschwachen Umfeldern: Evidenz und Managementstrategien zum Frauenfußball (Event- und Impaktforschung)
by Kristoff ReichelDie Zuschauernachfrage ist ein zentraler Erfolgsfaktor im professionellen Teamsport. Daher stellen geringe Zuschauerzahlen eine strukturelle Ressourcenschwäche dar, die so genannte Schwellensportarten kennzeichnet. Kristoff Reichel untersucht den Frauenfußball in Deutschland, um Managementstrategien für Teamsportarten in ressourcenschwachen Umfeldern aufzuzeigen. Den theoretischen Ansatz bildet ein erweitertes Nachfragemodell für Schwellensportarten, das er für die Stadionnachfrage der 1. Frauenfußball-Bundesliga ökonometrisch testet. Die aggregierten Befunde ergänzt der Autor um eine primärempirische Zielgruppenanalyse und entwickelt effektive Strategien für den professionellen Frauenfußball.
