My Sport Diary

by Jonathon Hardcastle 0 plugs plug it Soccer is a game enjoyed the world over by both spectators and participants alike, as a faced paced, team sport which requires athleticism and skill in equal measure. If you're interested in participating in soccer, either in an organized or spontaneous manner, there are plenty of opportunities for getting involved. Soccer as a sport relies much less on equipment than physical effort. The benefit of this is that you can get going with very little initial financial outlay. With little more than a ball, you can get going and have a great deal of fun with as little as three players. All you require is a sufficient number of participants, objects to act as goalposts, and a ball before you're ready to get playing. It's even possible just to have a kick around with the ball, although the traditional format is a game of two teams comprising of 11 players. Of the 11 players, one will play as a goal keeper, standing between the goal posts. The ...

by Claudia Beckford Brazil, the country that has won the FIFA World Cup a record of five different times has been selected by the FIFA executive committee to host the next World Cup in 2014. FIFA president Sepp Blatter stated last Monday that Brazil was a strong and a single candidate after Colombia pulled out of the running in April also that Brazil "supplies tens of thousands of football players to the world, the best football players." It was also mentioned the fact that there was no further competition from additional South American nations, therefore, FIFA's decision to implement the rotation system that gave each continent a turn at hosting the World Cup laid on Brazil for this time. The entire country is in extreme joy as it will be the first time for Brazil to host a World Cup since 1950; even the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva travelled to Switzerland to the FIFA headquarters for the announcement. Swiss foreign ministry officials said the delegatio...

by Shawn Mitchell So what is the best fishing time of the year to catch the most fish? Unfortunately, there is no generic answer to this question, as it will entirely depend on what kind of fish you want to go after. For instance, if you want to go after bass fish, you'll need to go out at a different time than if you are to go after catfish, or some other kind of fish. I can't give you a generic time to go fishing, as this will always depend where you are going fishing with catfish you are targeting. However, here are some important tips to help you become an effective fisherman as quickly as possible. First of all, here are some important salt water fishing trips, in case you want to go sell water fishing. The Internet is a great resource for finding these fishing tips, because it provides an abundance of information on any topic in the world today. Fishing tips are no exception; quite simply, you can learn a lot of great fishing information online, and probably much faster t...

by M.C. It’s known as ‘The Beautiful Game’, and is the most popular game around the world. Enjoyed everywhere from playing fields to streets to high schools, soccer is a game everyone can enjoy. However, as fun as it is, to play it properly you need to be fit as well as skillful, and this is where dedicated soccer training comes into effect. Yet even this needs to be done properly, in order to get the maximum benefit from your soccer training. After all, it’s no good being the fittest player on the park if you have to come off with a pulled muscle because you didn’t warm up properly beforehand. Therefore, making sure you have a set routine for your soccer fitness training is crucial to get the best results every time. - Warm up. Just like any exercise, you need to make sure your body is completely warmed up before you start your soccer fitness training. This not only loosens up your limbs for the training ahead, but will stop you from injuring yourself. Warm ups can include l...

by Jimmy Cox With the current interest in safety in the United States, the safe conduct of a sport like gymnastics is essential to its very existence. It is a basic assumption that gymnastics can be conducted safely. To make safety a reality students and teachers alike must be alert. Teachers must explain hazardous qualities of every stunt, and students must take their role as spotters (helpers) seriously. Every participant can have fun, but no participant should ever fail to carry out his responsibilities as a spotter. Likewise, if a student does not fully understand his spotting assignment, or has not been taught the spot in question, he should inform his instructor promptly so that no unnecessary hazard need be overcome by his buddy. If a student discovers a potentially hazardous situation relative to the condition of apparatus or other equipment, he should be encouraged to report the condition promptly. The class should recognize that some risk is inherent in any activity, but that...

by Jimmy Cox I shall discuss the art of gripping a football under three main headings: the overhand grip, the thumb grip and the palm grip. Grip and delivery are the mechanics of actually throwing the ball - of getting it up into the air. The mechanics of throwing the ball must obviously become second nature to the passer if he is going to develop any skill in throwing the ball. No amount of instruction on my part can do that for him - only practice, practice, and yet more practice in throwing countless passes of all kinds will enable him to master the art, regardless of whatever natural ability he may have. THE GRIP To pass, you have to hold the ball, and it is no secret that the forward pass has to start with the passer's grip. Although there probably are many methods of gripping the ball, I will discuss only three of the more popular grips. They are the three types of grip that I have observed to be the most widely used in analyzing the different techniques employed by passers o...

by Gerald Njuguna When a break is executed well on the pool table, it gives the player a better advantage over the other player. Also, when one is consistent in breaking well on the pool table, it results with the cue ball having a better striking position with the other balls. With this, the player gets a better choice of sending the other balls in the pockets with the next shot that he executes. There are various ways which one can break in a billiard game. One needs to have good physics when striking the ball. Its believed that different pool tables might determine which break will turn out to be the best. Power and Speed are considered to be essential but don't forget that control is needed to handle the power that you put behind that shot. With much practice, a player will be able to determine how to best make the shots. There are other tricks that one can use to improve their break on the billiard table and ultimately improve their overall game. Power Break Power is considere...

by Gerry Hartigan In most parts of the world Soccer is called Football except here in the US where it is called Soccer. Now, the reason it is called Football is because for about ninety five percent of the game players used their feet to kick the ball. The only players allowed to touch the ball with their hands are the goalkeepers. So, you see it makes sense that the game is called Football in most parts of the world. Now, let's talk about American Football. In most games only one player kicks the ball with his foot, the rest of the players either throw the ball with their hands or they catch the ball with their hands. There is very little use of the Foot in American Football. My recommendation is this. Let's change the name of American Football to Throwball and then we can call Soccer Football in the USA like the rest of the world does. Does'nt that make sense to you too? I think the world would be a happier place if order was restored and American Football became Throwbal...

by Niv Orlian If you're looking for ways to improve soccer skills individually, you've come to the right place. I know that soccer team practice sometimes just isn't enough if you want to become great. Just take a look at most of the great soccer players in activity. They always say that they spend a lot of hours off-pitch improving their soccer skills, which makes them so good in matches. But simply training after hours isn't enough, you need to train intelligently, after a rigorous program. Best Ways to Improve Soccer Skills - DVD Programs There's a lot of these babies around the Internet these days, so if you're planning on buying a DVD program for individual soccer practice, make sure it's a serious author that created it and it's not some lame compilation of soccer highlights with subtitles saying "Do this and you'll be great". A quality DVD program is a great way to improve soccer skills, because it allows a certain level of interacti...

by Jimmy Cox The word Ketsugo means combination. In essence it is a combination of the best and most effective self defense moves from the greatest methods of hand-to-hand combat ever devised. Training and Condition As Ketsugo is a physical art, training and condition are most essential. In considering your diet, it is wise to eat well, eat an abundance of high protein foods, stay away from an excess of sugar, starches and fats, drink plenty of liquids, avoid intemperate drinks and remember that your body needs the proper amount and types of vitamins. The proper diet is certainly the first step toward good conditioning. In Ketsugo, it is not the muscular strength that is important, but the speed and accuracy with which a movement is performed that spells the difference between the success and failure of a defense. You can improve your speed and perfect your coordination with some simple techniques. Study these techniques and you will greatly increase your effectiveness in Ketsugo. Susp...

by Jimmy Cox With the rapid expansion of interest in judo throughout the world today, there has developed a need for more understanding of the art and science of this sport. The terms jujitsu and judo are common to our knowledge, but the difference in their meaning is not too clear. Judo is a derivative of jujitsu and is the correct term used to refer to that art in today's language. The word judo specifically explains the truer meaning of the art as it is practiced today. The "ju" part of the word means "gentleness" or "giving way" and implies a flexibility of techniques, while the "do" part means "way" and signifies the application of the "ju" principle in the execution of the techniques, not only in the physical exertions of the judoist but also in his mental attitude. The older "jitsu", which was replaced by "do", meant "technique" or "art". We can say that judo is an art because...

by The Soccer Source Here we go, folks. The list you've all been waiting for. This past week saw a full slate of club action, both domestic and continental. There were several upsets, but mostly this was about the planet's top teams staking their claims. Meanwhile, some of the pretenders (you know who you are, Man. City) were exposed. In other words: things are starting to take shape. The cream is rising to the top: 1. (1) Arsenal. What kind of a Spurs fan am I to put the Arse first for the second week in a row?!? This makes them the first repeat #1 since I started the list. And the Gunners didn't even win this weekend! True, but neither did last week's #2, Inter. In fact the Milan side played Palermo to a scoreless tie. Last week's #3, Bayern Munich, did the same, at Dortmund. I couldn't reward that. Besides, Arsene Wenger's men were faced with a formidable task, playing at Anfield in a clash of the Premiership's last two unbeaten teams. A great game th...

by Jimmy Cox More than any other sport, football seems most truly American. Some 350 years ago, the early settlers of our land had teams, goals, and a ball that they kicked around an open field. True, the game they played can hardly be compared to the modern game we watch in our huge stadiums and on nationwide television, but then, what has remained the same throughout the last three and one-half centuries? Football has grown right along with our nation and our way of life. Running In earlier days, football was just a game that the name suggests. The players moved the ball by kicking it with their feet. Gradually, as high schools and colleges took up the game during the 1800's, it became popular to pick up the ball and run with it. Later, throwing the ball through the air from one player to another won its place in the strategy of the game. However, of these three basic forms of moving the ball - kicking, running, and passing - running with the ball must be regarded as the most imp...

by Niv Orlian Soccer warm up exercises are the most frequent in pre match situations and training. there's no other type of exercise that a soccer player will spend more time with then with warm up. Professional teams usually spend around 30 minutes of their training sessions on a quality warm up, because this has three major effects on players, effects that we will discuss in the following paragraphs. -Soccer Pre game Warm up - Avoiding Injuries Our muscles and tendons can easily cause problems if they are used at their fullest without a proper series of soccer warm up drills. The muscles work on the same principle as an elastic string would. Pull it slowly and the elastic will be able to stretch without problems, but if you pull it in one quick motion, there's a risk it might snap. Ok, your muscles won't just "snap" if you use them intensely without the proper warm up, but there's a good chance you might strain them or develop other injuries. That's why ...

by Niv Orlian Back in the day when soccer was in its infancy, soccer field layout was rather irregular in its dimensions and this created several problems for the players. One player from, say, York would play on a field that was 60 yards long, while the guys in Liverpool would play on one that was 140 yards. Obviously, when either team played on the competitor's field, they were at a loss. That is why, over time, soccer field dimensions were regulated, first by the Football Association, the first soccer organization in history, created by the English in the late 19th century, then by FIFA. Today's dimensions of soccer fields still offer some room for variation, because not all pitches can be made on a same exact perimeter. So, the width of the field can range from 50 to 100 yards officially, but it's rarely the case with modern soccer fields that they hit these extremes. The length can range from 100 yards to 130, but you can't have a pitch that would be 100 yards wide...
