Golfing with a Big Leaguer
Last year I finished my first novel. The book is about being young and loving baseball. It’s about growing up in an era of social anarchy. It’s about the summer of 68 and a safe haven for a group of Black kids, called “Washington Playground.”

John Jay Takes 2018 Season Opener Versus Somers
Last night at Somers High School, the Tuskers opened with two first down drives and quickly showed that they had a grinding running game on the heels of FB Jack Kaiser. Stalling across midfield, though, Somers soon realized that they were up against a stampede of their own. But two plays was all it took to reveal that QB Bryce Ford was more a gazelle, and the Tuskers would be trailing him all night long.

Manu Ginobili: Hall of Fame?
So Manu Ginobili just announced his retirement the other day and NBA fans everywhere are crying. Even my sister texted me saying, “Noooooooo. He’s supposed to play until he’s 100 at least,” followed by crying emojis. Question is, do you think he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame?

Road to the Hall
Manu Ginobili announced his retirement from the NBA a few days ago. Like most of us who follow sports when a player’s playing days are finished, we put their career in a historical context. We do this with just about everything. Sports, politics, music etc. We cannot help but doing so. Lebron and Kobe, as great as they are and were, will never escape the Jordan debate. As great as Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady are they will not escape the Joe Montana comparison. It is what we do.

Ways Sleep Can Make You a Better Athlete
There are a lot of ways sleep can make you a better athlete. Many of those ways involve physical functions, like reflexes and muscle performance. Other ways are more long-term, like the importance of sleep in preventing illness or recovering from injury. And still others have more to do with the cognitive and psychological benefits of getting enough sleep—because of course, athletic performance is not just about physical speed, strength, or ability. All sports, to some extent, have a mental component. To perform your best, you not only need your body to be in peak condition, but your mind as well. While there will some differences in amount and schedule of sleep between individuals, just about every aspect of athletic performance requires that you get plenty of good quality sleep, no matter who you are or what your sport.
