Claude RIBOULET Isabelle GONINET Président du Conseil départemental Vice-présidente en charge des Sports, de l’Égalité femmes- hommes, de la Jeunesse et de la Vitalité des territoires 2 Le sport de haut niveau dans l’Allier Le Département de l’Allier maintient son soutien au sport de haut niveau.. Présentation du dispositif Allier Sport Cet engagement s’exprime notamment à travers le dispositif Allier Sport. Il a été créé afin de promouvoir le sport de haut niveau de notre territoire, tout en accompagnant les sportifs dans leur progression. Allier Sport est une aide financière renouvelable chaque année pour permettre à nos champions de financer leur équipement et leurs déplacements. Ce dispositif donne naissance à un partenariat entre le conseil départemental de l’Allier et les athlètes. Les sportifs de haut niveau, en contrepartie de notre soutien, défendent les couleurs de l’Allier et répondent présents aux sollicitations de la collectivité, leur permettant d’aller à la rencontre du public, d’échanger sur la façon de concilier études/vie professionnelle et sport de haut niveau, de promouvoir leur discipline et pourquoi pas, faire naître de nouvelles passions. Ce partenariat vise à promouvoir l’image sportive de Allier. Conditions d’attribution : • être inscrit sur les listes du ministère des Sports en catégorie sénior, élite ou relève ; • être licencié dans l’Allier ; • être âgé de 18 à 30 ans pour une première entrée dans le dispositif (il n’y a cependant aucune limité d’âge concernant la pratique du handisport). Aide aux clubs de haut niveau Le Département apporte également son soutien aux clubs de haut niveau grâce à l’attribution d’une subvention de fonctionnement aux clubs de sport collectif et de sport individuel évoluant au niveau national. Ainsi, le Conseil départemental, par ses dispositifs, valorise et met en lumière des valeurs essentielles : le travail en équipe, le dépassement de soi, le partage et l’entraide. 3 Boursiers Allier Sport Quentin AUBAGUE (né en 1989) PARACYCLISME – BELLERIVE SPORTS CYCLISTES Intègre le dispositif Allier Sport en 2010 • 9 fois champion du monde sur routre • Vainqueur de 2 coupes du monde • 4 fois champion de France • 2e des championnats de France en ligne et contre la montre en 2019 Christopher BRUGIROUX (né en 1993) BOXE FRANÇAISE -

He nds that -unlike soccer in Europe or Latin America which cuts across all social barriers- sports in the sports help to elect United States can be divided into "red" and "blue". During wartime or when a nation is under attack, sports can also be a powerful weapon Presidents, run campaigns for fuelling the patriotism that binds a nation together. And it can change the course of history. and promote wars." In a key part of his thesis, Matamala describes how a small investment in a struggling baseball team helped propel George W.

  • An Investigation Into the Marketing of the GAA Focusing Specifically on an Underage Programme, the Vhi Cul Camps.”
    “An Investigation into the Marketing of the GAA Focusing Specifically on an Underage Programme, The Vhi Cul Camps.” Submitted By: Lena Rochford A Research Dissertation in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Masters of Science in Marketing, Institute of Technology, Slmo. Department of Marketing, School of Business and Humanities, Institute of Technology, Sligo Research Supervisor Roddy Gaynor September, 2008 Declaration “I hereby declare that this is entirely my own work, except where acknowledgements have been made and it has not been submitted as research work by any other person(s) in any other institute or university.” Signed: Date Abstract This study is concerned with the marketing of the Gaelic Athletic Association focusing specifically on an underage programme the Cul Camps. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) is an amateur sporting organisation that was founded in 1884 by Michael Cusack and Maurice Davin in order to preserve and cultivate the national games. It is the largest sporting organisation in Ireland with membership exceeding 800,000 at home and abroad. It is a powerful organisation with an important social and cultural influence in Irish life. The VHL/GAA Cul Camps were established in 2006 because members of the GAA felt other camps were better marketed. They felt they could set up a brand that could be used in all 32 counties and could be marketed more effectively. The GAA teamed up with VHI to promote healthy living at a community based level and also to increase the number of young children participating in sport. Now in its third year it is estimated that there will be in the region of 81,000 participants this year and due to this demand 1,000 camps will be available around the country.

  • (Title of the Thesis)*
    Associations of Moral Disengagement, Passion, and Competitive Anger and Aggressiveness with Attitudes toward Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sport by Austin Wade Wilson A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Recreation and Leisure Studies Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2014 ©Austin Wade Wilson 2014 AUTHOR'S DECLARATION I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The main purpose of the present study was to explore relationships between moral disengagement in sport and attitudes toward performance enhancing drugs. Additionally, the purpose was to explore the specific mechanisms of moral disengagement in sport in relation to attitudes toward performance enhancing drugs and the role that emotion might play in this relationship. A secondary purpose of the study was to investigate relationships between moral disengagement in sport with a variety of factors that have not been associated with moral disengagement in sport before (i.e., competitive anger and aggressiveness and obsessive and harmonious passion). Participants were 587 male and female varsity and co-ed intramural athletes from four Southern Ontario universities. Athletes completed a battery of scales that assessed moral disengagement in sport (i.e., the Moral Disengagement in Sport Scale: MDSS, Boardley & Kavussanu, 2007), attitudes toward performance enhancing drugs (i.e., the Performance Enhancement Attitude Scale: PEAS, Petróczi, 2006), guilt and shame (i.e., the Personal Feelings Questionnaire: PFQ-2, Harder & Zalma, 1990), obsessive and harmonious passion (i.e., the Passion Scale, Vallerand at al., 2003), and competitive anger and aggressiveness (i.e., the Competitive Aggressiveness and Anger Scale: CAAS, Maxwell & Moores, 2007).

  • “Dropping the Ball”: the Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics
    The Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics “Dropping the Ball”: The Understudied Nexus of Sports and Politics Thomas Gift1 (email: [email protected]) University College London Andrew Miner Harvard University From the Roman Colosseum to Wimbledon Stadium, the Olympics to the Super Bowl, sports have always played a central role in societies. With so much at stake—money, pride, power (and occasionally even fun)—sports are undeniably political. Yet despite this recognition, political scientists and policy scholars devote little attention to the study of sports, especially compared to other disciplines like business, law, and economics. We offer reasons for this void and suggest how political scientists can begin to fill it. In our view, the nexus between sports and politics is not only a vital topic of study on its own, but it can also provide a lens through which to examine—and test—broader questions in the discipline. We propose how scholars can think more systematically about the interaction of politics and sports and leverage the distinctive qualities of sports to improve causal identification across a range of issue areas and subfields in political science and policy studies. Keywords: Sport and Politics, Sports and Policy, Political Science Research, Political Studies Subfields, Review Article, Sport and Media, Sport and International Affairs. Desde el Coliseo romano hasta el Estadio de Wimbledon, los Juegos Olímpicos y el Super Bowl, los deportes siempre han jugado un papel central en las sociedades. Con tanto en juego—dinero, el orgullo, el poder (y ocasionalmente incluso algo de diversión)—los deportes son innegablemente políticos.

  • Social and Economic Value of Sport in Ireland
    SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC VALUE OF SPORT IN IRELAND LIAM DELANEY TONY FAHEY 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Public policy on sports participation in Ireland is concerned mainly The Social with sport as physical activity. The central aims are to increase Significance of participation and raise standards of performance in sport. However, Sport sport is also a social activity and its social significance spreads well beyond those who play. The role of sport as a social outlet can take many forms, ranging from the extensive voluntary service that is provided to amateur sports club by committee members, coaches, team organisers and fundraisers, through to attendance at sports fixtures by members of the general public. Such activities are important in narrow sporting terms: many sports could not exist in their present form if there were no clubs to organise them or spectators to support them. But they also have a wider social significance. They bring people together, help build communities, and provide a focus for collective identity and belonging. The collectivities affected by sport in this way can range from the small community that supports a local club team to an entire society following the fortunes of an individual or national team in major international competition. These social dimensions of sport have attracted growing attention over the past decade in the context of a new interest in ‘social capital’. The concept of social capital refers to the social networks, norms, values and understandings that facilitate co- operation within or among groups (OECD, 2001, p. 41). Some see it simply as a new term for ‘community’.

Prof. Dr. Şehmus Aslan, Pamukkale University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Kınıklı Kampüsü, Denizli, Turkey. Received: May 1, 2018 Accepted: June 14, 2018 Online Published: July 18, 2018 doi:10.11114/jets.v6i8.3266 URL: https://doi.org/10.11114/jets.v6i8.3266 Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the level of cognitive flexibility of individual and team athletes who are students. The study included a total of 237 volunteer athletes, comprising 140 males (59.1%) and 97 females (40.9%) with a mean age of 18.98 ± 2.18 years (range, 16-26 years) who were licensed to participate in individual and team sports. Study data were collectwed using the Cognitive Flexibility Scale developed by Martin and Rubin (1995), which consists of 12 items in total. International validity and reliability studies were conducted by Martin and Rubin, and Turkish validity and reliability studies were conducted by Çelikkaleli on high school students (Çelikkaleli, 2014). The scores of the Cognitive Flexibility Scale were found to be higher in the team sports athletes compared with the individual sports athletes (p<0.05). No difference was determined between the levels of cognitive flexibility in male aand female athletes. The results indicated that the cognitive flexibility levels of team athletes are higher than those of individual athletes. Keywords: individual, team, sport, cognitive flexibility 1.

Chapter 2 investigates the powerplay in one-day cricket. The form of the analysis takes a “what if” approach where powerplay outcomes are substituted with what might have happened had there been no powerplay. This leads to a paired comparisons setting con- sisting of actual matches and hypothetical parallel matches where outcomes are imputed during the powerplay period. We also investigate individual batsmen and bowlers and their performances during the powerplay. Chapter 3 considers the problem of determining optimal substitution times in soccer.
