Mas allá del resultado

Autor: Cristian Gonzalo Alvarez De La Cerda

Un psicópata que apuñala a una mujer por amor a otra… un médico con el apodo de “diablo” traficando productos ilícitos… un dictador negociando la visita del Greatest… los yakuzas profanando una tradición milenaria… la decadencia y grandeza de un ídolo depresivo… Cuando los cánticos de los fanáticos se acallan y el brillo de las medallas dejan de encandilar, otras historias pueden contarse. Tristes, divertidas, inspiradoras, reales. En el deporte de élite, cada anécdota podría ser el capítulo de una saga donde política, locura, feminismo o religión comparten protagonismos con los más grandes campeones de la historia: los sueños rotos de Mónica Seles, las mentiras de Lance Armstrong y las luchas de Alice Milliat son partes de un relato vivo que trasciende los límites de la competencia. Aquí, subirse al podio no es la meta. Más allá del resultado, los grandes momentos del deporte son los que se recuerdan por lo que significan para la sociedad y para las personas. Son aquellos que resuenan en estas páginas, los que nos hablan del mundo… ¡y de la vida con zapatillas!

From the moment that his parents dragged him to his older sisters' swimming practice, Michael Phelps loved the water. During his childhood, swimming provided a solace away from the pressures of school and home, and before long, Michael and his family began to realize that he had a significant talent in the water. With long arms and huge feet, Michael's body was perfect for swimming, and he had the drive to push himself to practice swimming almost every day of his life. By the time he was fifteen, Michael was already on his way to the Olympics, one of the youngest U.S. Olympians ever. It was the next four years that defined Michael's life and career, as he quickly developed into one of the world's greatest swimmers, setting world records and winning countless prizes. He soon found himself swamped by fans, supporters, and sponsors, and became one of the most popular and recognizable swimmers in America. But Michael was still only a teenager, barely out of high school when he achieved world wide fame, and the challenge of balancing a normal life-friends, family, college, and parties-with his role as America's greatest swimmer would prove to be his greatest challenge.

Autor: Schuyler Bailar

SCHUYLER BAILAR (ÉL) NOS OFRECE UNA GUÍA ESENCIAL Y URGENTE QUE CAMBIA POR COMPLETO LA CONVERSACIÓN SOBRE LA IDENTIDAD DE GÉNERO. Las personas trans son objeto de ataques en los deportes, en el sistema de salud, en los planes de estudios, en los baños públicos, en los bares y en casi todos los ámbitos de la vida, y en Estados Unidos crecen notoriamente las leyes en su contra. Él/Ella/Elle aborda cuestiones fundamentales de manera clara y compasiva: desde por qué ser una persona trans no es una elección o por qué los pronombres son importantes, hasta cuestiones más complejas, entre ellas cómo la atención médica en los casos de reafirmación de género puede salvar vidas y por qué permitir que la juventud trans practique deportes es bueno para todos. Con una narrativa cercana basada en hechos, ciencia e historia, Schuyler ayuda a restaurar el sentido común y la humanidad en una discusión que continúa siendo recibida de manera divisiva y politizada de manera engañosa. Schuyler no tenía la intención de ser activista, pero su pública transición al equipo de natación masculino de Harvard lo situó en el centro de atención. Su decisión de tratar abiertamente su ...

Número de Páginas: 258

Los Juegos Olímpicos de Londres 2012 recibieron el sobrenombre de “los juegos de las mujeres”: compitieron 4.676 (el 46% de los atletas), en todos los deportes y todas las delegaciones tuvieron una representante femenina. Pero esta paridad de participación entre hombres y mujeres, ¿se reflejó en la cobertura informativa que la prensa hizo de dicho evento? ¿Cuáles fueron los valores y estereotipos que se asociaron al deporte femenino en el discurso difundido por los periódicos? Para dar respuesta a estos interrogantes, las autoras de este libro llevan a cabo el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de las informaciones sobre este acontecimiento publicadas en periódicos referentes de la prensa vasca, nacional y deportiva. Los resultados de dicho análisis se complementan con un estudio de los momentos clave y de los factores influyentes en el proceso de incorporación de las mujeres a la práctica deportiva, y con un recorrido histórico por los Juegos Olímpicos, para entender, en toda su dimensión, los recientes celebrados en Londres en el verano del 2012.

Las cláusulas de moralidad en los contratos de patrocinio deportivo

Autor: Miguel Crespo Celda

Número de Páginas: 352

La obra Las cláusulas de moralidad en los contratos de patrocinio deportivo presenta un estudio exhaustivo de esta cláusula y de su aplicación al ordenamiento jurídico español. Se trata de una disposición ampliamente utilizada en los contratos deportivos. La relevancia de esta cláusula aumenta por el auge del patrocinio deportivo, de los riesgos de escándalos que conlleva la utilización de deportistas famosos como imágenes de las empresas patrocinadoras y de los fenómenos como la corrupción y el dopaje. Sin embargo, pese a su creciente importancia y uso habitual, se trata de una disposición que ha recibido escasa o nula atención por parte de la doctrina o jurisprudencia españolas. La cláusula de moralidad cobra sentido principalmente por la tipología causal del contrato de patrocinio, en la medida que se produce una asociación de la imagen del patrocinador con la del deportista patrocinado. Su utilización plantea una problemática relacionada con la Drittwirkung, o eficacia de los derechos fundamentales en las relaciones entre particulares. En esta obra se exponen y analizan numerosos ejemplos de estas cláusulas obtenidas expresamente para esta investigación....
