| Summary/Abstract |
On 4 April 1905, during the Russo-Japanese War, Abe Isoo (1865–1949), the father of baseball in Japan, Christian intellectual, and professor of economics and political science at Waseda University, took his baseball players to the USA to play against American students and local players in California. Amidst the war and growing anti-Japanese sentiment in California, Abe realized his decade-long dream of participating in international athletic competitions in anticipation of such games contributing to the resolution of international conflicts without weapons. His two primary goals were that his students would experience “systematic scientific” baseball on its home soil and that they would broaden their international perspective. The tour marked the first school excursion sent from Japan for an overseas sporting event and also initiated Japan into the arena of international sporting competitions. This paper focuses on Abe’s view of physical education as seen in his 1905 US tour (4 April–29 June 1905).

| Summary/Abstract |
In the Israeli Premier Football League there is a phenomenon in which many team captains or players who were the team’s leaders go on to become professional coaches. Reality shows that some of them make it as great coaches, and some ‘get lost’ – failing in the transition from being a leading player to assuming the leadership position of coaching. This article seeks to understand the challenges in that process and to identify factors that explain the resulting successes or failures in the process, based on Erving Goffman’s Dramaturgical Perspective and Leadership models. Semi-structured interviews were held with active and retired Israeli football players and coaches (N = 10). The article identified two different sets of behaviours that are expected from team captains or team leaders by their teammates, and from coaches by their players, that identify them as successful leaders. In addition, it highlights major factors in explaining the phenomenon of lack of success in the transition – that is, the failure to make the necessary changes in these behaviours during the process.

| Summary/Abstract |
IT IS well known that sports are an important unifying factor regardless of personality traits, background, or age. In recent decades, there has been a surge in the number of people involved in sports, due to the development of its amateur and professional segments, promotion through media channels, and development of the training base. Along with promoting a healthy lifestyle, sports play an important social function, fostering communication and the development of contacts. With the intensification of modern migration processes, physical culture and sports activities serve as important channels of the adaptation of new arrivals in the host society.
