New Releases by Charles Gee

All coaches understand the call to "Huddle Up." Though not everyone coaches on the field, court, or diamond, most of us gather to share ideas, address challenges, or plan strategies. In the corporate world, it''s a staff meeting. In the military, a briefing. When parents want to clear the air, it''s a family conference. We''re all coaching in some way, and there will always be a time to "Huddle Up." The Christ- centered principles in these studies help coaches and competitors reconnect, refocus, and reboot to meet daily challenges. Charles Gee is Chaplain for the South Carolina Athletic Coaches Association and has served with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for over 15 years. Drawing from personal coaching experiences, he writes weekly devotions encouraging coaches to use their platform to impact lives for Jesus Christ (scfcacoaches.org). A retired Master Sergeant from the U.S. Army Reserves, Charles lives in Mt. Pleasant, SC, with Kathy, his wife of 52 years. He has two sons, Jeff and Chris, two daughters- in-law, Kristin and Megan, and three amazing, competitive grandchildren.

Regardless of the sport, every coach will find fresh wisdom in this Christ-centered coaches devotional. It''s one of the best-written studies for coaches that addresses the third dimension of coaching (heart/spirt) which is why Jeff Duke wrote the Foreword. Charles Gee has served on staff with FCA for the past 13 years and is a 3Dimensional Coaching Presenter. He has used his Bible and 40 years of coaching to write these inspirational and educational devotions for coaches and competitors.

These love poems are for the young at heart, as well as those in full maturity, yet still young at heart.

That those who are in a position to influence me, will do so with care.

This is a story about a clever wolf and a somewhat gullible boy. Each tries to outsmart the other. Who will win? You''ll be surprised.

This book specifically tells of my family''s hardships while living on a plantation in Mississippi as well as their endeavor to break free of the post-slavery era. However, there are also stories and other pieces of information that help to substantiate the reality of my story.

The purpose of this study was to explore preferences by younger news audiences of backpack journalism in local television news. Local television news has to compete with Internet and other media to attract viewers. The theoretical foundation for this study, uses and gratifications, proposes audience members will actively seek news information using television as a primary source. The focus of the study centered around technology''s influence on television newsgathering techniques and if the techniques delineated the quality of journalistic presentation. Four hundred and ninety three college students were surveyed about their media use, news gratification, and preferences of production quality criteria associated with news stories produced by traditional two person crews and backpack journalists. Respondents were shown eight randomly selected videotaped news stories from a television market that employed both traditional two person news crews and backpack journalists. Four stories were chosen by each newsgathering method. Each news story was judged on perceptions of pacing, camera composition, lighting, voice narration, interviews selected, and script production. Findings suggested that younger audience members indicated a preference toward newsgathering methods by traditional news crews rather than backpack journalists. Anecdotal evidence suggests a shift in the newsgathering paradigm is currently taking place in the local television news. However, the results of this study propose the audience acceptance of this newsgathering technique is slow to be accepted by the younger news audience.
