Developing Qualities by Playing College Sports & Making Use of These Qualities in a Professional Career
How Excellence Happens From 2000 to 2010, the Messiah College soccer program-the men's team and women's team combined-posted the best record in NCAA soccer: 472 wins, 31 losses, and 20 ties. Few programs were even close. Seventeen Final Fours between them during this time. Eleven national titles. Unbeaten streaks measured not only in games, but in seasons. How do they do it? What's their secret of success? They use what might be called "the Messiah method," seven disciplines that propelled these teams from decent to dynasty. They're seven disciplines that can supercharge your team, too. Whether you're leading a sports program or a business or a school or a church or any other organization, there's a proven method to achieve breakthrough performance-and to sustain it year after year. It's The Messiah Method. It's how excellence happens. Michael Zigarelli is a Professor of Leadership and Strategy at Messiah College and the author of several books. He's also a high school soccer coach and an avid student of the game. You can reach him at [email protected]
The Strong Female Athlete is an evidence-based and experience-based text with a fresh, novel approach for youth female athletes to improve speed, reduce injury, and increase strength. In this exuberant body of work, Erica Suter gives a deep understanding of female athlete growth and maturation, anatomy and physiology, nutritional needs, menstrual cycle considerations, and performance training progressions. She presents the science, but in a way that is readable and fun for coaches, parents, and young girls. This is way easier to read than a scientific study! The final chapters discuss mental training and how female athletes can improve confidence, and overcome challenges from sports and life.
This Spring 2011 (IX, 2) issue of Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge, entitled “Learning Transformations: Applied Sociological Imaginations from First Year Seminars and Beyond,” includes nine UMass Boston undergraduate student papers: seven from two sections of the first year seminar, Soc. 110G: “Insiders/Outsiders,” one from the course “Youth and Society” (Soc. 201), and another from the course “Elements of Sociological Theory” (Soc. 341), all taken during the 2010-2011 academic year at UMass Boston. The authors cultivate their sociological imaginations of the link between their personal troubles and broader public issues by exploring topics such as: difficulties with writing; struggles with overachievement; adolescent depression; pessimism; obsession with body self-image; pornography and love; drunken driving; feminine identity formation; and coping with personal traumas amid parental, sibling, and societal dysfunctions. The editor points to the significance of publishing undergraduate scholarships of learning and their sociological self-studies, highlighting the extent to which the origins of the present journal entitled “human architecture” can itself be traced to his own “student selves” and early undergraduate education in architecture at U.C. Berkeley, and specifically to a seminar he took with his undergraduate teacher and advisor, the late “professor of design” and renowned painter, Jesse Reichek. Contributors include: Thanh D. Pham, Iris M. Rivas, Melissa Mejia, Ryan J. Canillas, Michaela Volpe, Rose Bautista, Jennifer Cervantes, Ann Barnes, Melanie Maxham, and Mohammad H. Tamdgidi (also as journal editor-in-chief). Human Architecture: Journal of the Sociology of Self-Knowledge is a publication of OKCIR: The Omar Khayyam Center for Integrative Research in Utopia, Mysticism, and Science (Utopystics).

From taming the ego, to navigating passive aggressive behavior, Life’s Non Conformities: An Auditor’s Tale of Practical Application of Social, Emotional & Behavioral Strategies is a pioneering collection of lessons showing the practical application of social, emotional, and behavioral theories; narrated by an internationally recognized auditor. Through extensive leadership training and embracing teachable moments, Salman Raza shares profound skills that mitigate conflict, develop self-awareness, and strengthen leadership capabilities. This book offers a practical guide for individuals starting their career, to the CEO; teaching how to handle everyday challenges and difficult situations with empathy and kindness. We have powerful communication tools at our fingertips, but our personal and professional relationships are not any stronger. We still rely too much on what someone is saying, and ignore, or are oblivious to, how they are feeling. Often, we can navigate through peacefully, but other times we are unexpectedly met with conflict. A commonality in these interactions is the lack of awareness of why we behave like we do. Life’s Non-Conformities teaches readers how to nurture their inner awareness and surroundings, to develop deeper, more rewarding personal and professional relationships. "Authentic, engaging, and relevant to all business managers..." "Excellent read, full of authentic and relevant business and life stories that makes the reader think about the way they think and work with people." ~ Dave Millner, Consulting Partner @HRCurator “Salman Raza’s personal reflections in Life’s Non-Conformities reveals his competence and commitment to learning from his experiences. He eloquently conveys his life-changing, diverse, professional interactions and the lessons learned from them. Hopefully, by sharing his experiences, readers will better craft their life’s lessons. I wish him much continued success.” ~ Dave Ulrich, Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business, University of Michigan; Partner, The RBL Group "There are a lot of inspiring books designed to entertain and motivate people, without giving them the tools to make their dreams come true. There is even more about scientific frameworks that work better on paper than in life. Life's Non-Conformities is the best of both worlds. It gives you the best practices and latest insights shown through the author's personal stories, struggles, and successes." ~ Csaba Toth, Founder of ICQ Global, and Author of Uncommon Sense in Unusual Times "An excellent, informative book by a gifted storyteller, Life's Non-Conformities takes the reader through a journey of a life lived both humbly and intentionally. Raza, who has lived on four continents, expertly blends the stories of his successes and failures with the research-based tools he used to overcome challenges. The reader gets practical tools to help them interact with others more effectively, draw appropriate boundaries, and excel with different cultures. A fascinating read full of practical wisdom." ~ Lisa DeWaard, Ph.D., CEO of Hofstede Insights USA "For those readers who aspire to a global perspective, this book offers practical, real-life lessons in empathy, bias, self-awareness, and cross-cultural awareness. Mr. Raza recounts personal and professional experiences revealing how humility, vulnerability, authenticity, and harnessing ego have made him a better professionally and personally. Raza teaches how to understand archetypes and work towards win-win interactions. He introduces many practical models for deeper self-understanding and developing empathy for others. This includes diving into the Hofstede model to show how cultural awareness can enrich interactions individually and internationally. A meditation in contextual self-awareness and awareness of others." ~ Jaymes Cloninger, Founder and MD - Motivf "Salman Raza takes us on a delightfully authentic journey of his life's lessons in emotional intelligence. His unique perspective as a British, Pakistani, world-traveling auditor forced to deal with challenging clients, provides a fascinating backdrop. This book is a solid contribution to the corporate world where emotional intelligence has not been valued. It is a rare gem in giving readers a glimpse through the eyes of an immigrant professional finding his way as an outsider in a tough field. An informative and entertaining read." ~ Steve Slocum, Award-winning Author of Why Do they Hate Us? Making Peace with the Muslim World “Not all caterpillars reach their potential of being a butterfly. In fact, only four-tenths of one percent eventually become butterflies. Salman taught me this, and it changed the symbolism behind their metamorphosis. Their transformation should not be assumed or taken for granted. Not everyone grows, because it can be difficult, but when they do, the results are beautiful.” ~ Rev. Dr. Sheri Pallas

"Must professional accomplishments come at the expense of having a full life? Not according to Wharton professor and leadership and work-life expert Stewart D. Friedman. In his new book, Friedman identifies critical skills for leading an authentic and balanced life, and illustrates them through the compelling stories of six remarkable high-profile people. He also shows how to develop and apply each skill through a series of exercises anyone can use. Each leader showcased in the book-Bruce Springsteen, Michelle Obama, Sheryl Sandberg, Tom Tierney, Eric Greitens, and Julie Foudy-exemplifies a specific set of skills for achieving greater harmony between work and life. Friedman identifies these discrete skills-for being real, being whole, and being innovative-that reduce conflict. Then, based on in depth interviews and research, he paints a dramatic picture of the creative ways these six very different leaders pursue authenticity and harmony every day. Friedman also includes exercises for practicing each skill, along with actionable ideas curated from research in organizational psychology and related fields, for applying them. This book will inspire and reinforce the changes people want to make to lead more balanced lives and to become better leaders"--
