eBooks de Deportes de invierno

Entre las muchas funciones de los padres está incentivar a los hijos para que desde los tres o cuatro años practiquen algún deporte. Sin importar qué disciplina elijan, los niños muy inquietos o hiperactivos podran canalizar su energia, y los niños mas timidos o indecisos se forjaran el caracter y aprenderan a vencer sus miedos. Lo mas importante es no proyectar en los hijos las ambiciones personales. Permitanles elegir ellos mismos el deporte que les gustaria practicar. Esto no quiere decir que hay que preguntarle a un niño de cuatro años que quiere hacer, pero no hay que obligarlo a ir a entrenar una disciplina que no le gusta. Si no le gusta, no tendra exito como atleta; pero uno ademas corre el riesgo de arruinarle la infancia al practicamente obligarlo a entrenar, lo que equivale a trabajar en un lugar que odiamos. Es un milagro o el destino que confluyan en el mismo niño sus ganas de hacer deporte, las cualidades fisicas y el caracter necesarios, las posibilidades economicas de los padres y su disposicion para apoyarlo en la persecucion de sus sueños. Para ello se recomienda que los niños practiquen obligatoriamente algun deporte, pero no para vencer en los Juegos Olimpicos, sino por simple gusto, por forjarse el caracter, el cual va a ser muy util para en un futuro tener exito en otras areas profesionales, para decidir como vivir su vida y moldear su propio destino.

Una trepidante historia de la revelación del deporte español.Nadie podía imaginar que la nueva gran estrella del deporte español fuera un patinador. Pero desde una especialidad minoritaria como el patinaje artistico sobre hielo -con apenas un millar de licencias y un puñado de pistas de entrenamiento- Javier Fernandez (Madrid, 1991) ha llegado a convertirse en doble campeon del mundo.Conocido como "El Lagartija" entre sus amigos de siempre, Javier es un madrileño de Cuatro Vientos, un revoltoso niño de barrio nacido en el seno de una familia trabajadora; su madre Enriqueta es cartera y Antonio, su padre, mecanico militar. Sin apenas apoyo oficial, a golpe de sacrificio y soledad, ha forjado una maravillosa leyenda sobre el hielo.Empezo a patinar a los seis años de edad, siguiendo los pasos de su hermana Laura. Y cuando todos los niños querian ser futbolistas o tenistas, el decidio que queria ser patinador, asumiendo los sacrificios y sinsabores que su apuesta le iba a acarrear, sobre todo el hecho de vivir lejos de su familia desde muy joven, primero en Jaca y despues en Canada, sin saber el idioma y con jornadas de entrenamiento interminables. Pero siempre confiando en si mismo y siendo inasequible al desaliento.En este libro, Javier cuenta en primera persona su maravillosa historia, repleta de pasion e ilusion, sacrificio y esfuerzo. Con su lectura conoceremos mejor al joven de barrio que se ha convertido en estrella y que es admirado en todo el mundo. Pero, sobre todo, entenderemos en toda su extension el mensaje que siempre repite Javier: si persigues tus sueños, confias en ti mismo y luchas por ellos, los alcanzaras.Con prologos de Brian Orser, entrenador de Javier, y Evgeni Plushenko, amigo de Javier y considerado el mejor patinador de la historia.
