Now, the New York Times and Washington Post bestselling author turns his expertise to a subject that has never been fully explored, delivering a highly entertaining game changer that uses brand-new research to show us why being a sports fan is good for us individually and is a force for positive change in society. Fans is a passionate reminder of how games, teams, and the communities dedicated to them are vital to our lives. Citing fascinating new studies on sports fandom, Larry Olmsted makes the case that the more you identify with a sports team, the better your social, psychological, and physical health is; the more meaningful your relationships are; and the more connected and happier you are. Fans maintain better cognitive processing as their gray matter ages; they have better language skills; and college students who follow sports have higher GPAs, better graduation rates, and higher incomes after graduating. And there's more: On a societal level, sports help us heal after tragedies, providing community and hope when we need it most. Fans is the perfect gift for anyone who loves sports or anyone who loves someone who loves sports"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Sports spectators $x Psychology. 650 0 $a Sports $x Sociological aspects. 650 0 $a Sports spectators $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print nonfiction series. 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l RKPA371 $d 20240601011439.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010024349.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20211116014704.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20211009012921.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210910010158.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=62B205DA11FC11EC8B377C2451ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
