I have been in Soccer for 45 years and i can not believe what i have researched , and try and make a difference.
i have been wanting to give a choice for young players to play football and register as a bonified association outside of the FA , the proposed association has all the required formalities , Registered with GDPR Certified , Health and safety and Child protection accredited and and accredited to other qualification awarding bodies in the UK. I have contacted a very established sports awarding body who for nearly 20 yrs awarded coaching qualifications but due to this countries Football governing body , they have scrapped the qualifications due the football governing body doing their own qualifications which i totally understand but do you think that has taken away the choice of...

Dear Athletes,
Does anyone else wonder where, or what college, they would have ended up at if they didn’t have an athletic gift?
The way I imagine it is that I honestly don’t think I would have willingly chosen to go to college. Well, American college at least. Anyone else? I, personally, would focus on figuring out what area of work I’d like to be in, get some experience, then decide if I need higher education with that area of focus. But, if I were to have no choice but to apply to American colleges, straight out of high school, I don’t believe I would be accepted to a private college. Especially, one of USC’s stature. And with a scholarship . . . no way. Props to those that made it without athletics.
Assuming I had no athletic career and I wanted to continue my education past...

We are a group of tennis fans from different races and region. We are writing this letter to express our concern regarding the exclusion of Richard Williams and Oracene Price, parents of tennis ace Venus and Serena Williams, from the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
The Tennis Hall of Fame honours players and contributors who have excelled and made a transcendent impact in tennis. It offers three induction categories: Player, Contributor, and Wheelchair.

Good day,
This is an open letter to the World Athletics.
With all due reapect.
I am asking for an explanation/s how Testosterone act/react, when innocent girls run in 10 000m race❓
The interpretation on Caster Semenya's case by World Athletics has raised these questions in my mind.
Say she runs a 10 000m race, that means from 0m to 399m her Testosterone acts as a woman.
Then from 400m to 1499m it acts as a man. Then from 1500 to 10 000m it changes again and acts as a woman❓.
Can a Testosterone acts/reacts like that in one race❓
Regards
Tsietsi MATHULE (South Africa)

Dear Judge Chatigny,
I should begin by saying that I’m writing as a young woman who is currently in high school. I’ve been active in sports occasionally and for many of my female peers, athletics are very important. I think I speak pretty accurately for them when I say that my time playing sports has instilled in me a lot of important habits for a healthier life, as well as taught me about the fundamentals of strategy and team building.
In recent years, efforts have picked up to exclude young women from the same sports that are so pivotal in preparing them for success. In June of 2019, a complaint...

Personally I'm so tired of seeing tom brady holding up championships after championships not having he got game as a nfl quarterback one of the top quarterback in the league but, you would think other nfl teams would eventually get to a superbowl and win one. I start to wonder if other teams isn't been in prepare enough for this guy for him to continue to win championships perhaps better studying by defensive coordinators you would think some of these coordinators would come up with a better scheme to take this guy out of his game so far it hasn't happen. Sometimes perhaps wonder if nfl teams is taking a dive for Brady or nfl defensive teams isn't playing smart defensive less penalties . Either some players or coaches is taking some kind of bribery from Tom Brady either way this guy...

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...
