Hardback. Condition: New. Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.William Harrison Dillard was born July 8, 1923, in Cleveland, Ohio, and was given the nickname Bones for his slender build while in grade school. He would later go on to become one of the nation s most notable track-and-field athletes. Now, in this biography, he shares his life story. The eventual winner of four Olympic medals, he attended the same high school as his friend and hometown hero, Jesse Owens. He was a successful athlete in college and served in the Ninety-Second Infantry (the Buffalo Soldiers) during World War II, where he distinguished himself in the service of his country.

Sprinters Falsify the Deliberate Practice Model of Expertise
You can’t teach speed: sprinters falsify the deliberate practice model of expertise Michael P. Lombardo1 and Robert O. Deaner2 1 Department of Biology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA 2 Department of Psychology, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI, USA ABSTRACT Many scientists agree that expertise requires both innate talent and proper training. Nevertheless, the highly influential deliberate practice model (DPM) of expertise holds that talent does not exist or makes a negligible contribution to performance. It predicts that initial performance will be unrelated to achieving expertise and that 10 years of deliberate practice is necessary. We tested these predictions in the domain of sprinting. In Studies 1 and 2 we reviewed biographies of 15 Olympic champions and the 20 fastest American men in U.S. history. In all documented cases, sprinters were exceptional prior to initiating training, and most reached world class status rapidly (Study 1 median D 3 years; Study 2 D 7.5). In Study 3 we surveyed U.S. national collegiate championships qualifiers in sprintersn ( D 20) and throwers (n D 44). Sprinters recalled being faster as youths than did throwers, whereas throwers recalled greater strength and throwing ability. Sprinters’ best performances in their first season of high school, generally the onset of formal training, were consistently faster than 95–99% of their peers. Collectively, these results falsify the DPM for sprinting. Because speed is foundational for many sports, they challenge the DPM generally.

The Olympic 100M Sprint
Exploring the winning data: the Olympic 100 m sprint Performances in athletic events have steadily improved since the Olympics first started in 1896. Chemists have contributed to these improvements in a number of ways. For example, the design of improved materials for clothing and equipment; devising and monitoring the best methods for training for particular sports and gaining a better understanding of how energy is released from our food so ensure that athletes get the best diet.

Craig Dixon, 1948, Track & Field
An Olympian’s Oral History CRAIG DIXON 1948 Olympic Games – London - 110-meter Hurdles - Bronze Medal Interviewed by: Dr. Margaret Costa Edited by: Carmen E. Rivera Published by the LA84 Foundations 2141 West Adams Boulevard Los Angeles, California 90018 www.la84.org (c) LA84 Foundation, December 1999 CRAIG DIXON Today is Monday, March 25, 1991. This is Dr. Margaret Costa interviewing Mr. Craig Dixon, bronze medalist in 110-meter hurdles, 1948 Summer Olympic Games in London. Q: Tell me about your childhood. A: Well, as a matter of fact, Margaret, you’re sitting in the house that I was almost born in. I moved into this house on the westside of town when I was three years old. My dad had opened a Ford Motor Company auto agency in Vancouver, B.C., and my mother was born in Scotland and had gone to Vancouver where they met. He made his money and he became ill at a fairly young age with ulcers. In those days they didn’t know how to treat ulcers. He later, at the Mayo Clinic, had part of his stomach removed. We then moved here and he built this house in 1926, and lived off the income that he had developed from his agency by investing in the stock market. I was brought up in Nebraska on a farm during the Depression. He was a very frugal man. After he earned a degree in engineering from the University of Nebraska, he went to Alaska to search for gold, almost losing his life in the snow. Because the family had little discretionary income, I had a paper route, wore second hand clothes, and later sold Liberty magazine.

Jesse Owens: The Gold Standard for Breaking Barriers Jodi Gist Junior Division Individual Exhibit Words (Board & Media):500 Jesse Owens, an indestructible athlete, overcame challenges resulting from racial segregation in the United States and broke barriers by showing perseverance through sports. His courage and confidence led him to prevail in the absence of community support, lack of recognition from his own country’s government, and the obvious prejudice against Blacks from Nazi Germany. Owens became a brave role model and a tower of strength for other African American athletes who followed in his celebrated footsteps for decades to come. BACKGROUND During the 1930’s, Germany and America had distinctive differences, however, the countries were also similar. Racial inequalities occured in both countries. In democratic America, African Americans were unfairly suppressed and discriminated against, while in Nazi Germany the Jewish ethnicity was suffering great torture in concentration camps. AMERICAN AFFAIRS In the 1930’s there was explicit segregation and racism in America. Democratic President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in office. America was over 25 years away from a solution for segregation. In 1935, America experienced economic problems following The Great Depression. GERMAN AFFAIRS Germany experienced economic hardship resulting from World War 1. Hitler, the Nazi leader, emerged as dictator of Germany in 1933. Hitler believed that the Aryans were superior to the Jews.
