BEWARE of what is ahead of you, it is not as easy as you may think.
Girls on high school soccer teams like to talk about playing in college, but they do not understand the amount of work that it takes to play at that level. Becoming a collegiate soccer player is a lot harder than people think. Girls believe they can just show up and be the best person on the team. They could not be more WRONG.
Soccer requires a high level of fitness. Just coming from high school and going to play is not going to cut it at all. You need to be in SHAPE. There have to be hours of training to get even close to being in the shape you need to be. My team trains twice a week, Tuesday and Thursday morning 7-9 am, just working out hard for two hours straight all the way till August 1st, and that still is...

Dear Rob Manfred, Commissioner of Major League Baseball
I have been a lifelong fan of the MLB, spending days at Comerica Park with my family or making road trips with my family to places like Wrigley Field in Chicago, or Fenway Park in Boston. Baseball has always been my happy place and something I am very passionate about. But over the past year, I have had multiple complaints about the game that I love so much.
First, let's start with the weak punishments that were given to the Astros. When I first heard about the Astros cheating, I thought for sure they would be stripped of the 2017 World Series pennant, or I thought players would be suspended from games. But no, you felt a punishment of four draft picks being taken away, and a 5-million dollar fine would be a harsh...

You want to give up , you want to give up so badly. You want to stop completely and quit the sport for good. You think about how much you hate the 5 AM lifts , you hate the constant yelling , the constant diet , needing to write your weight down everyday. You hate not having a social life because every weekday and sunday during the summer you gotta lift in the middle of the day while maintaining a job. You hate the fact that you did not get to live out the normal “ high school experience “ by getting drunk and smoking every weekend because you were afraid of what it would do to your body. You hate having to spend half of your summer at wrestlings camps instead of hanging with your friends. You hate that you're afraid that having a girlfriend could cause you to lose focus in your sport...

Dear Cheerleader,
“Snobs, peppy, easy, ditzy, skinny”
are words we hear all the time.
“Cheer is not a sport, boys can’t cheer, cheerleaders are not as committed as other athletes, cheerleading leads to nowhere.”
Are sayings we hear all the time.
These names and statements aren't true. Having people make fun of what we do is not funny. We risk our lives each day at practice trying to come up with routines and chants to get people excited, but no one seems to appreciate it.
Walking into school seeing other people mimicking us saying, "look at me, I can also be a cheerleader". Well, if they knew what a cheerleader does, I bet they wouldn't be saying they can be a cheerleader by doing a few jumps and motions that aren't even done correctly. Everyone just jumps into...

Although this was the first live event of aew dynamite on tnt this show was pretty good. The hard hitting action got me excited to watch a show that provide more action than the mess you see now in which it's base on f** storylines executives deciding the outcome of matches.it good to see wrestling again it been eighteen years since you seen real stars competing similar of the ecw days except not as violent but, still pretty good .the women match was just as good as the men hopefullt aew will get more women to join the women division there are plenty of perhaps free agents from other promotions in the country including japan !I can't wait to watch this Wednesday's show on youtube could be some perhaps surprises wrestlers jumping ship who knows . Thanks AEW for bringing back Dynamite...

To Equestrian Canada, EC, Equine Canada, CEF:
It has come to my attention that, despite many equestrians currently working in the industry commenting and providing valid information against your alleged 'license' to coach at EC sanctioned shows, you are moving forwards with this proposal.
I am a coach and rider who has loved this community for 40+ yrs. It pains me that you continue to ignore the people who create this community and push forwards with an agenda that is effectively killing the sport we all love.
Imposing a license to coach at sanctioned shows will do nothing to improve the quality of coaching. In fact, it will do the opposite. It will reduce already struggling class entries in EC sanctioned shows, reduce interest in the sport all together, force current coaches/...

It's no secret that when any international football (soccer) tournament begins, there's never really been a huge level of support surrounding the England national team and the 2018 FIFA World Cup was no different.
When the tournament began, and even in the months leading up to the competition; skepticism was, as usual, at it's highest among the English people, both on home soil and abroad.
England have notoriously not done well in international competitions for as long as I can remember and while I am by no means an expert in the rules of The Beautiful Game, when has that ever stopped anyone from having an opinion on something they don't fully understand?
While I have never really followed a football competition all the way through; this time, I couldn't helped but get sucked in...

Dear athletes and coaches,
My name Justin Zoet a former football and basketball player, and am now coaching both football and basketball. I am writing this in an effort to help better the relationship between a coach and the athletes he/she is coaching, and for athletes to know what to expect from a coach and how to further support coaching tactics. I played football and basketball for 10 years of my life and grew up surrounded by coaches as my father, uncle, and grandfather were all coaches. They taught me how to develop a positive relationship between players and coaches. It is very important to the success of a team to have a great player-coach relationship with mutual respect going each way.
First, to develop a positive relationship as a player with your coach you should...
