Can't hit home runs? These are the areas you need to work on
As an athlete in the field, we all want to perform like gods in their highest powers – a runner wants to outrun the light; a footballer wants to hit the ball out of the sight; ask a swimmer, and you might hear her dream of swimming like a sea wave; and all that a baseball player wants is to hit that ball so it makes a hole in the ISS. Such a humble dream right? But where most batters dream of hitting the ball at the pace of a bullet, most fail. The reason? Wrong techniques. Don’t worry if you are not able to hit it rightly. Every batter goes through this beginner’s tunnel.

Beyond the theme parks - what else to visit in Orlando?
Speaking of Orlando, everyone's first thought will be around some theme park. And that's the natural reaction because Orlando is a well-known tourist magnet with all its spectacular attractions. It's no surprise that Orlando, Florida, is one of the most popular destinations for families and theme park enthusiasts. The city is home to some of the most well-known theme parks in the world, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World.

After the Finale
The bag hasn’t been opened much since my last season. The season which I had gone into with lofty goals and harsh expectations, and came out of knowing that in all likelihood I would never compete in the sport again. That’s why it's melancholy, opening up a little time capsule from the ‘glory days.’

Torre to Torre
This morning, a high school friend posted a baseball-related question on Facebook that lit a flame in me. I struggled to keep up with my words as my narrative voice hit cruise-control mode. It was the same adrenaline I felt each time I went to bat during my sophomore year at Providence Country Day. My final plate appearance that season was my final ever, and I'm glad it ended on base. I'm so proud of that lone Varsity Letter on my bookshelf.

Winter Warriors
In September of 2022, I had a very strange experience: I was teaching a class and I suddenly lost my balance and bounced off the white board at the front of the room like an insect ricocheting off of a windshield. I recovered my equilibrium, finished the lecture and made my way (rather unsteadily) to the Emergency Room. Given the fact that the pandemic was still in progress, I was not surprised to wait seven hours for some medical attention. I am Canadian, and therefore I am grateful that patience is the only cost of treatment. During my wait, a fellow human who was clearly suffering from an acute psychological malady of some kind made several attempts to disrobe in the waiting area. Each time, a security guard, who appeared to know him by name, gently admonished him to desist. For the purposes of this tale, I will call him Jake. After I was admitted, I was given a series of tests, in the course of which I asked a physician to contact the department for which I teach, to let my students know that I would not be released in time to teach classes the following morning. I also asked her about Jake. “Oh, Jake!” she replied, “He’s a regular here. Did he get his pants off this time?” Human beings can adapt to virtually any circumstances, no matter how strange; they can also become rooted in communities under the most unusual conditions.
