Tel: (209) 946 2981 Email: [email protected] 1 The UK Netball Superleague: A Case Study of Franchising in Elite Women's Sport Abstract This paper draws on theories of franchising in examining the emergence of the UK Netball Superleague in 2005. The focus of the paper is to explore the development of an empowered franchise framework as part of England Netball's elite performance strategy and the consequences of the Superleague for player performance, team success, and commercial potential of the franchises. The findings from 22 in-depth interviews conducted between 2008-2011 with franchise personnel and sport media/marketing consultants inform the discussion. The paper further comments on the implications of the empowered franchise system for developing NGB elite performance strategies. Introduction Emerging in the late 19th century as a sport “initially designed and traditionally administered as an activity for promoting appropriate forms of femininity” (Tagg, 2008, p 410), Netball is played by more than 20 million people in over 80 nations across the globe (INFA, 2011). It is an invasion ball game predominantly played by girls and women between teams of 7 players.

  • Universiv Microfilms International 3Ü0 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer cf a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

  • 1 the Japanese Fighting Arts Edited by John Goodbody There Is No End to Training. Once You Begin to Feel That You Are Masters, Y
    The Japanese Fighting Arts Edited by John Goodbody There is no end to training. Once you begin to feel that you are masters, you are no longer getting on the way you are to follow. Hagakure Bushido Karate Hirokazu Kanazawa 1. History The origins of karate are somewhat obscure. The most popular tradition traces them to the arrival in China of the fierce Indian monk Bodhidharma, or Daruma taishi, to give him his Japanese name. He is said to have arrived in Canton in AD 520 and he was also the First patriarch of Zen Buddhism in China. Bodhidharma imposed the most severe discipline on the monks under him at the monastery of Shaolin. His students and their successors became famous for their physical prowess as well as their mental discipline and Shaolin was to give its name to one of the foremost schools of Chinese boxing. Shaolin boxing was introduced into the Ryukyu Islands, of which Okinawa is the main island, in either the fifteenth or the sixteenth century. These were tough times in the Ryukyus. A succession of tyrannies, for their own preservation, had made the possession of weapons by any member of the civilian population a state offence. Understandably this boosted the interest in unarmed combat, producing a system called Okinawa-te, a mixture of Chinese and indigenous influences. There were in fact many different 'schools' of Okinawa-te, each one carefully guarding its secrets from the others. Secrets had also to be kept from the ruling classes and from any individual who might have misused them.

Where an individual was a Minister at the time of the May 1997 general election the end of his/her term of office has been given as 2 May. Finally, where possible the exact dates of service have been given although when this information was unavailable only the month is given. The Parliamentary Information List series covers various topics relating to Parliament; they include Bills, Committees, Constitution, Debates, Divisions, The House of Commons, Parliament and procedure. Also available: Research papers – impartial briefings on major bills and other topics of public and parliamentary concern, available as printed documents and on the Intranet and Internet.

  • This Is My Life John Waite
    This is my Life John Waite Over the last few years I have been approached several times to write a book, but the problem was just what to write about. People suggested either Judo or Aikido, but I considered that better people than I had already done this. I decided that I should write something that I could leave to my children, because over the years I have often wondered about my own family history. What I do know is where I was born and where I spent my early childhood. However, I do not know very much about my immediate family. For example, being the youngest in a family of 12, 1 I do not know much about the life and experiences of my brothers and sisters during their early years; and have little knowledge of my parents and even less about my grandparents. For many years my family celebrated my birthday on 29th March, but it was only when my sister Millie took me to Hackney town hall to obtain a replacement birth certificate that we discovered my birth was registered on the 30th! We deduced from this that I was born either late on the 29th or early on the 30th March 1931. 1931 was about the time the country and in fact the world was coming out of the Depression and starting to recover from the Wall Street crash and the considerable debt of WW1 of 1914- 1918. Grandfather on my father’s side was a boilermaker- shipwright and my father followed him into the same trade.

  • Lisp, Jazz, Aikido Three Expressions of a Single Essence
    Lisp, Jazz, Aikido Three Expressions of a Single Essence Didier Vernaa a EPITA Research and Development Laboratory Abstract The relation between Science (what we can explain) and Art (what we can’t) has long been acknowledged and while every science contains an artistic part, every art form also needs a bit of science. Among all scientific disciplines, programming holds a special place for two reasons. First, the artistic part is not only undeniable but also essential. Second, and much like in a purely artistic discipline, the act of programming is driven partly by the notion of aesthetics: the pleasure we have in creating beautiful things. Even though the importance of aesthetics in the act of programming is now unquestioned, more could still be written on the subject. The field called “psychology of programming” focuses on the cognitive aspects ofthe activity, with the goal of improving the productivity of programmers. While many scientists have emphasized their concern for aesthetics and the impact it has on their activity, few computer scientists have actually written about their thought process while programming. What makes us like or dislike such and such language or paradigm? Why do we shape our programs the way we do? By answering these questions from the angle of aesthetics, we may be able to shed some new light on the art of programming. Starting from the assumption that aesthetics is an inherently transversal dimension, it should be possible for every programmer to find the same aesthetic driving force in every creative activity they undertake, not just programming, and in doing so, get deeper insight on why and how they do things the way they do.

  • The History of Judo, Part 4
    Jigoro Kano, The Founding, History & Evolution Of Judo By Phil Morris Part 4 Kodokan Judo’s Founding And International Growth Again the Kodokan moved premises from Kano’s 20 mat house, and formed at the residence of Yajiro Shinagawa, an ambassador of the new Meiji Period, in Fujimi- cho, Tokyo. Shinagawa was a very broad minded man and very generous, as well as being a student of Judo. This new dojo held an area of 40 mats. It was from this Dojo, that for the next 3 years Judo excelled over all other rival Jujutsu school in contests. 1887 saw the categorisation of Judo complete. The Kodokan had three broad aims: physical education, contest proficiency and mental training. Its structure as a martial art was such that it could be practiced as a competitive sport. Blows, kicks, certain joint locks, and other techniques too dangerous for competition, were taught only to the higher ranks. “Atemi” or striking techniques were not fully eliminated from Judo per se except in competition, but were retained in the practice of Kata, taught at the time only to higher graded students. These “Atemi” techniques are still to be found today in Judo’s Kata. To accommodate yet again the ever increasing numbers of Judo students, the Kodokan moved to the Hongo-ku in Masaga-cho, Tokyo which could hold 60 mats in 1890. By now Kano’s vision of Judo becoming a world sport had started and he took his first trip abroad to Europe and the US to give lectures and teach Judo in 1889.
