30-Love - The Story of a Young Tennis Player

By: Gus Fernandes

My purpose in telling my story as a young tennis player is to explore the life of an aspiring tennis player. I want to show you the highs and lows of life as a young athletic star-not just in tennis but in any sport. More than that, I want to focus on what this means for the individual and his family. On one level, this is a simple story of a young tennis player. On another level, I hope it will be a guide for parents of young players.

Think To Win : Mental Toughness for Tennis Game

By: Gus Fernandes

Tennis is what I do, I coach high performance and top nationally ranked tennis players. I find more and more that the key for success in all levels of play is in the mind of a player. That is often neglected! As a player, I considered myself a nightmare for my opponents as I would naturally use all the tools I had to reach the goals I set to myself. Now as a coach, I put in this book all the tools I used as a player and also learned as a coach. This is a great tool and knowledge not only useful for tennis but for all sports and life in general.

Advanced Statistics for Physical and Occupational Therapy

By: Thomas Gus Almonroeder

Advanced Statistics for Physical and Occupational Therapy explains the basis for statistical analyses that are commonly used to answer clinical research questions related to physical and occupational therapy. This textbook provides a resource to help students and faculty in physical and occupational therapy graduate programs understand the basis for common statistical analyses and be able to apply these techniques in their own research. This textbook provides readers with the basis for common statistical analyses, including t-tests, analysis of variance, regression, and nonparametric tests. Each chapter includes step-by-step tutorials with corresponding example data sets explaining how to conduct these statistical analyses using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and the Excel Analysis ToolPak, as well as how to identify and interpret relevant output and report results. Advanced Statistics for Physical and Occupational Therapy is key reading for students in physical therapy, occupational therapy, sport performance, and sport rehabilitation graduate programs as well as students in athletic training courses, applied statistics in sport, and research methods in sport modules. This new text will also be of interest to practicing clinicians who hope to better understand the research they are reading and/or are interested in starting to conduct their own clinical research.

Kalahari Cheetahs

Adaptations to an arid region

By: Gus Mills,Margaret Mills

The cheetah, the fastest terrestrial animal, has widespread appeal amongst wildlife biologists and enthusiasts alike. However, like all all large carnivores, it is increasingly threatened by habitat loss and its status is now classified as 'Vulnerable' by the IUCN. This is the first comprehensive study of cheetah biology in an arid environment, a major component of its current distribution range. The book brings together results from an intensive six year study of the cheetah by the authors in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa and Botswana. It documents a wealth of detailed and direct observations of cheetah population biology and behavioural ecology, adopting an evolutionary approach and providing a conceptual framework for future research and applied management in the context of global environmental change. Kalahari Cheetahs covers topics such as optimal foraging theory, hunting strategies and predator prey relations, mating systems and reproductive strategies and success, inter-specific competition, demography, social organisation, and population limitation. Comparisons with previous cheetah studies reveal the variability of ecological determinants on behaviour, and the behavioural flexibility and ability of these carnivores to adapt to different environments. This advanced textbook is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers in felid behavioural ecology and conservation biology. It will also be of relevance and use to conservationists, wildlife managers, and African wildlife enthusiasts.
