Sports lovers usually have one favourite team that they love and cheer for. It is usually the team that plays for the area they live in. For example, Boston residents are fans of the baseball team the Boston Red Sox. They love their football team, the New England Patriots; their basketball team, the Boston Celtics; and their ice hockey team, the Boston Bruins.
However, some people’s favourite teams are not necessarily the ones playing for their city. It could be those that play for a city they have lived in. There are also factors such their parents’ choice in teams or those that perform well. People who watch NCAA teams are fans of the team where they spent or are spending their school years in.

You can draw all kinds of analogies from sports into real life that you want. I do it all the time. Sports teaches leadership, team building, pride, motivation, and a sense of how to fit into a community. But another thing sports teaches us, is how important it is for us to keep moving. Our bodies are a machine that needs to be put into motion. I’m sure you’ve all heard the old expression, “use it or lose it”. Well that’s true about our bodies, but allow me to take that one step further. Our bodies are incredibly unique machines have a feature no other man made machine has. All man made machines generally fall apart faster the more we use them. Sure we can extend their use with good maintenance, but generally the more they get used the faster they fall apart. Our human machine is entirely different. The more we use it, the better it gets. The more weights we lift, the stronger we get. The more running we do, the faster we get. The more aerobics classes we do, the longer our endurance becomes. While every machine (man made or not) eventually dies or ends up in the scrap yard, out human bodies will actually last (live) longer the more we do with them. Kinda cool huh?

Ladies always seem to get special treatment out on the golf course. The female golfers of the world already have their own lines of golf clothes, their own special golf shoes, and even their own tailor made golf clubs. Female golfers need to learn how to play with the regular golf clubs and use the regular golf accessories before I will ever start to take them seriously. No, I’m kidding around ladies. It is perfectly acceptable for women to use women’s golf equipment. Read the rest of this entry »

Are you one of the million fans of mixed martial arts or MMA fights? There are millions of avid fans of MMA around the globe, and it is one of the most popular and closely-followed sports of all time. However, there are many people who fail to watch and enjoy the fights of their favorite stars like Rashad Evans, Chuck Lidell and Diego Sanchez for a variety of reasons.
One of the major reasons why people can’t fully enjoy and watch their favorite MMA stars is the impracticality of watching it through premium cable or through pay per view that come with a very stiff price. More and more people are finding the cost of watching MMA fights through pay per view or premium cable prohibitive, and these are the reasons why a greater segment of MMA fans give up the opportunity of watching their favorite MMA fights on TV. Other possible reasons why people fail to watch their favorite MMA fights is that they might be at work when the fights are airing. In some cases, there are those who reside outside the country or live in places where there is no pay per view service available. Read the rest of this entry »

These past few weeks or so, have to be the most exciting time of the year for basketball. What with all of March madness finishing up, followed quickly by the start of the NBA playoffs, it’s got to be next to impossible to drag a basketball fan away from the television. I should know, as I’m one of them. Even though I do have my favorite teams to cheer for, sometimes it’s nice to make it a bit more interesting Read the rest of this entry »

Yep, even the great ones can get hurt. One of the keys to being successful at any sport, is to take care of your body. It doesn’t matter if your a professional athlete, or just an amateur passionate one. Playing your favorite sport with pain is no fun. Basketball players are especially susceptible to back and knee injuries it seems. All that jumping and shooting is hard on the body. Read the rest of this entry »

The running shoe, has come a long way, in the past few years. Without giving away too much about my age, I can remember a time when running shoes were really just plain old running shoes, and anyone who played a sport, used pretty much the same shoe. Considering the hundreds of variations of shoes now available, it’s mind boggling. While, it’s true their not just for sports anymore, running shoes can also be considered fashion statements.

I’ve always said, that I’d love to go and see the Olympics one year. Just to be around all the excitement, and ceremony would be a terrific experience. While, I haven’t totally changed my mind on that thought, I’ve also thought of late, that it would be kind of cool to go see the World Cup some year as well. I like, that even though it’s an international event, it’s not entirely dominated by the western world. So much of popular sports is dominated by the US, it’s nice to see a sporting even, that is more evenly distributed when it comes to talent. Not everything can be bought by money.
