Goodway The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA This presentation will take an early years physical literacy approach to promoting actual and perceived motor competence in young children from disadvantaged environments and elucidating the role motor competence plays in leading a physically active lifestyle and maintaining a healthy weight. Many vulnerable (poor, urban environments) children enter the early childhood years with significant delays in critical fundamental motor skills that are the prerequisites to later sports and physical activity. This is compounded by significant barriers (lack of built/home environment, access, minimum income, role models) in their communities to being physically active. In spite of these delays and barriers, such young children reveal positive perceptions of their motor competence, an asset that can be used in intervention. The 'Successful Kinesthetic Instruction for Preschoolers' (SKIP) motor skill intervention was developed to address these deficits and counter the negative developmental trajectories of these children. Situated in dynamic systems theory and Newell’s constraints, the overarching purpose of SKIP is to promote actual and perceived motor competence, enhance motivations to be active, develop knowledge of their body’s response to activity, and more recently, to promote physical literacy. In all SKIP interventions, we started by considering the child constraints, then manipulated environmental constraints to design high quality tasks aligned to a child’s developmental level to positively influence actual and perceived motor competence and physical literacy. Within this presentation, I will chart the evolution of SKIP reporting data from a number of studies and highlighting lessons learned along the way. I will start with the expert-led direct-instructional approaches leading to more mastery-oriented, child- centered approaches to SKIP. From this work, we recognized the need for more translational research. Thus, I will summarize our most recent work where we have collaborated with teachers to deliver T-SKIP/SKIP Cymru/INDO -SKIP and an integrated FMS-reading literacy (RaMMP) intervention to children across the world. I will conclude with implications for physical educators, future early intervention research, and the importance of promoting actual and perceived motor competence during this critical window of development. 6 Keynote Lectures Coaching Life Skills in Young Athletes Daniel Gould Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, USA From the time of the ancient Greeks sport has been viewed as a mechanism for developing young people psychologically and preparing them for adult life. This holds true today as leadership, teamwork, confidence and resiliency are common examples of the types of life skills ascribed to youth sport participation. But does sport participation develop life skills? Coakley (2011) has argued that this is not the case and he contends that the belief that life skills are developed via sport participation is actually based more on myth than fact. What does the research say? And, if sport does develop life skills, when and under what conditions does this occur? This presentation examines the research on using sport to promote life skills in children and youth. Life skills are defined as ‘those internal personal assets, characteristics and skills such as goal setting, emotional control, self-esteem, and hard work ethic that can be facilitated or developed in sport and are transferred for use in non- sport settings’ (Gould & Carson, 2008). The sport psychological research on promoting life skills through sport is reviewed with an emphasis on factors influencing life skills development in young athletes. Research shows that life skills can be developed through sport and physical activity both implicitly and explicitly. Effects are not always positive. Most reviewers of the evidence, however, conclude that more consistent and positive results come when life skills are explicitly fostered and taught (Gould & Westfall, 2014). Life skills, then, are best viewed as being ‘intentionally taught’ versus as being ‘caught’ from mere sport participation. Example programs designed to promote life skills in children and youth through sport participation are discussed, as are theoretical explanations for how life skills are developed and influence young people. Finally, specific coaching strategies and policies that can be used to promote life skills in children and youth through sport are examined as well as strategies for insuring that life skills transfer from sport to other life contexts (Pierce et al., 2016). It is concluded that sport and physical activity contexts have great potential for fostering life skills. However, sport is not a panacea for the development of life skills. Life skills are most likely developed in young athletes when they are systematically fostered and taught by caring, competent adults who use both direct and indirect strategies for doing so. 7 Keynote Lectures References: Coakley,

  • Arab Soccer in a Jewish State: the Integrative Enclave
    This page intentionally left blank Arab Soccer in a Jewish State Over the last two decades, soccer has become a major institution within the popular culture of the Arab- Palestinian citizens of Israel, who have attained disproportionate success in this field. Given their margin- alization from many areas of Israeli society, as well as the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, such a prominent Arab presence highlights the tension between their Israeli citizenship and their belonging to the Palestinian people. Bringing together sociological, anthropological and historical approaches, Tamir Sorek examines how soccer can potentially be utilized by ethnic and national minorities as a field of social protest, a stage for demon- strating distinctive identity, or as a channel for social and political integration. Relying on a rich combination of quantitative and qualitative methods, he argues that equality in the soccer sphere legitimizes contemporary inequality between Jews and Arabs in Israel and pursues wider arguments about the role of sport in ethno-national conflicts.

  • Beitar and Beyond: the United Arab Emirates and Qatar’S Use of Football As Soft Power
    POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Beitar and Beyond: The United Arab Emirates and Qatar’s use of Football as Soft Power Anna Murphy (Howard Walker - Anadolu Agency) In 2008, Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, formed the City Football Group as a branch of the private investment and development company known as the Abu Dhabi United Group to facilitate the purchase of English football team Manchester City F.C.. In 2012, Qatar Sports Investments, a subsidiary of the Qatar sovereign wealth fund, purchased the French team Paris Saint-Germain. In the decade since these acquisitions, Manchester City and PSG have become fascinating and lucrative examples of soft power for the two Gulf states. In September of 2020, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a lesser-known member of Abu Dhabi’s ruling family, purchased a 50 per cent stake in Beitar Jerusalem F.C, an Israeli football team. This investment has shed light on the shifting economic relations between Israel and the UAE and highlighted the unique influence of football in Israeli politics. This policy outlook examines the UAE and Qatar’s investment in football clubs in Europe and Israel as two distinct and developing modes of soft power. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre.

Faieta of the Superior Court of Justice, dated March 6, 2015, with reasons reported at 2015 ONSC 1128, 125 O.R. (3d) 619. Simmons J.A.: I. INTRODUCTION [1] The issues on appeal concern whether an internet libel action, based on a newspaper article uploaded in Israel, can and should proceed in Ontario. Page: 2 [2] In November 2011, an Israeli newspaper, Haaretz, published an article criticizing the management practices of Mitchell Goldhar, the owner of the Maccabi Tel Aviv Football Club, a soccer team based in Tel Aviv, that plays in the Israeli Premier League. [3] Goldhar is a prominent Canadian businessman and lives in Toronto. [4] In addition to being published in print, the article was available on the newspaper’s Hebrew and English-language websites. It came to the attention of some Canadian readers through the English-language website. [5] The article asserted that Goldhar imported his management model from his main business interest — a partnership with Walmart to operate shopping centers in Canada — and that he “runs his club down to every detail.” It also included a suggestion that his “managerial culture is based on overconcentration bordering on megalomania” and questioned whether “his penny pinching and lack of long term planning [could] doom the [soccer] team.” [6] In December 2011, Goldhar launched an action in Ontario, claiming damages for libel against Haaretz, its sports editor and the reporter who wrote the article (collectively “Haaretz”).

  • Hasbara and Israeli Sport Jon Dart Sport in Society
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Leeds Beckett Repository ‘Brand Israel’: hasbara and Israeli sport Jon Dart Sport in Society: Cultures, Commerce, Media, Politics Published online: 13 Jan 2016 The published version can be found at DOI:10.1080/17430437.2015.1133595 This is the pre-publication version Introduction Much attention is focused on the use of ‘soft power’ and specifically how sports events are used by nations to generate a more benevolent global image. Modern nation states are increasingly developing their own particular ‘soft power’ activities, drawing upon different resources and have different audiences in mind. Until relatively recently, the state of Israel was preoccupied with its military security and paid little attention to cultural politics. However, because of the military dominance of Israel other ‘battlegrounds’ have emerged. Academic research on soft power and sport has traditionally focused on high profile events (such as the FIFA World Cup finals and Summer Olympic Games). This paper spotlights an international sports event which, although relatively small and usually attracting limited interest from the mainstream media, when held in Israel, highlights regional politics, the role of UEFA/FIFA and becomes part of a wider debate over international public opinion. Grix and Himpler (2007) identified how the United States used soft power as an alternative to its military activities and to counter its negative image post-2003 Iraq war, something that echoes Germany’s use of sport to address the legacy of its Third Reich (Grix and Houlihan, 2013). This paper seeks to complement and extend the existing discussion by focusing on how the Israeli state is using smaller sports events, as one of its many soft power (‘hasbara’) activities, in an attempt to arrest its deteriorating international image.

  • Aliyah of Estonian Jews
    Mark Rybak 1 Aliyah of Estonian Jews. Situation of Jews in Estonia in the second half of the XIX century In 1710 – 1917 Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire. It was outside the Pale of Settlement (area where Jews were allowed to live). This partially explains why the number of Jews in Estonia was relatively small. However, in 1865 Emperor Alexander II issued a decree that allowed certain groups of Jews to settle anywhere in Russia. These groups included the so-called Nikolai soldiers with their families, first guild merchants, professionals with high education etc. Jewish population of Estonia started to grow, and by 1897 reached 3837 (0.4% of the total population). In the 1870s a part of the Jewish intelligentsia still believed that it is possible to solve “the Jewish problem” by a partial or a total assimilation. The crisis and the disappointment came at the beginning of the 1880s when antisemitism in Russia grew significantly. The persecution of Jews, the notorious Pale of Settlement that restricted the free movement, a difficult economic situation and, finally, the pogroms of 1881-1882 brought the wave of massive emigration of Jews from Russia, mainly from the areas of the Pale of Settlement. Between 1881-1908 about 1,250,000 Russian Jews emigrated to America and about 20,000 to Palestine. 1 Aliyah in Hebrew means "ascent" or "going up". Jewish tradition views traveling to the land of Israel as an ascent, both geographically and metaphysically. Anyone traveling to Eretz Israel from Egypt, Babylonia or the Mediterranean basin, where many Jews lived in early rabbinic times, climbed to a higher altitude.
