Through attending games and talking to players, coaches, media and fans from the past and the present, seasoned football correspondent John Duerden charts the history of the rivalry in the past, captures a snapshot of the rivalry as it is and casts a look at the future. It won't be just about the big games but about players from one country that played in another and the recent sojourn of Lions XII in Malaysia and Harimau Muda in the S-League. From meetings between the two national teams and clubs to tales from the times when they both sent teams to compete in the other’s league, Lions and Tigers describes how Singapore and Malaysia feel about each other and how it all looks to an outsider between the two countries with comments from both nations—from coaches, players and key stakeholders, and also journalists and fans of the beautiful game.

Book Description
The field of sports history is no longer a fledgling area of study. There is a great vitality in the field and it has matured dramatically over the past decade. Reflecting changes to traditional approaches, sport historians need now to engage with contemporary debates about history, to be encouraged to position themselves and their methodologies in relation to current epistemological issues, and to promote the importance of reflecting on the literary or poetic dimensions of producing history. These contemporary developments, along with a wealth of international research from a range of theoretical perspectives, provide the backdrop to the new Routledge Companion to Sports History. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the international field of sports history as it has developed as an academic area of study. Readers are guided through the development of the field across a range of thematic and geographical contexts and are introduced to the latest cutting edge approaches within the field. Including contributions from many of the world’s leading sports historians, the Routledge Companion to Sports History is the most important single volume for researchers and students in, and entering, the sports history field. It is an essential guide to contemporary research themes, to new ways of doing sports history, and to the theoretical and methodological foundations of this most fascinating of subjects.

Book Description
If you have passion and focus, and if you are willing to work hard, you can be whatever you want to be. Determination and grit are far more important than talent.” Exceptional success comes from your talent multiplied by your behavior. “Performance = Capability × Behavior.” Everyone has dreams, but to achieve them, we need to stop competing with others and start competing with ourselves. That’s the bold assertion from soccer coach Jason Carney, who has been involved in youth and professional sports for more than twenty-five years. In this goal-achieving guidebook, he explores how to: • get more out of yourself and players—be they athletes or employees; • work toward becoming the best version of yourself; • focus on the things you can control; • start thinking about “we” before “me.” By sharing his experiences as a child, friend, father, husband, and mentor, the author provides insights on how to look at life differently as you start moving toward your dreams.
