Sommario/riassunto

A practical guide on how to navigate the complexities of ethical leadership in sport, recognizing the increasing pressure placed on individuals and organizations in sport to ruthlessly compete to win, and at the same time to be exemplary social role models. Most leaders know right from wrong, but giving voice to your values isn't always straightforward. This book explores how to approach the ethical decisions, dilemmas, and value-based conflicts that emerge for leaders in sports organizations in order to make good choices, drive a sound culture, and reduce the risk of going awry. The approach is twofold: Coaching for the leader on how to make and act on an ethical decision when faced with a dilemma; and an exploration of those deep personal values and beliefs about self and sport that inform how the leader thinks and acts. The book considers ethics in the context of modern sport and highlights the classic ethical traps and cultural slippery slopes to avoid using case studies and examples.

Sommario/riassunto

Glycolysis literally means "splitting sugars." In glycolysis, glucose (a six carbon sugar) is split into two molecules of a three-carbon sugar. Glycolysis yields two molecules of ATP (free energy containing molecule), two molecules of pyruvic acid and two "high energy" electron carrying molecules of NADH. Glycolysis can occur with or without oxygen. In the presence of oxygen, glycolysis is the first stage of



cellular respiration. Without oxygen, glycolysis allows cells to make small amounts of ATP. This process is called fermentation. This new book presents the latest research in the field.
