The fabric that brings it all together is Culture revolving around movies, TV, books, and politics. They do, we write.
A Common Misconception
For as long as I can remember, I have "lived" in a bowling alley. I know the ins and outs of how a bowling alley works, from how to work the computers to knowing exactly what goes on inside the pinsetter, in every bowling alley I have ever been to.

Then Why Don't They Coach That Way?
Preface I have coached youth sports for over 25 years. Coaching is mainly my hobby, although I have been getting paid for the last ten years, but I view sports as a terrific analogy to life in general. There are far too many kids who do not have good foundations in the home or role models to help them learn how to cope with the trials of growing up. Sports are great teaching tools if they are taught properly.

The Current State of New York Sports. Top Story - October 2018.
New York City—the most unique, important, dynamic city in the world. New Yorkers don't fuck around. New Yorkers have an arrogance about them, a swagger that comes from being the media and financial capital of the world. We are better than you and are not afraid to tell it you your face. Just ask someone who lives in New Jersey—they may think they are the sixth borough but anyone from New York dumps all over them for being inferior. "Nothing stinks like Jersey"—everyone who lives in New York. "Out of towners" may not love us but they flock to live here. New York has and will always be king.

Top Five Failed Franchises
What happens when a team isn’t making it in the Majors? They get sent in for a makeover and go from aging failures to vibrant expansion teams. Franchises that find themselves down and out often have to give their product a makeover by relocating, renaming and rebranding.

Jimmie Johnson's Move Highlights NASCAR's Playoff Problem
It's been almost a week since seven-time NASCAR champ Jimmie Johnson wheel-hopped going into the final two turns of the last lap at the inaugural Roval race at Charlotte, causing Johnson a spot in the next round of the playoffs. With so much drama to comprehend, it's taken most of the NASCAR community days to digest everything that happened.

Don't Stay in a Sport You Don't Like
Every school sports team coach has favorite players. I was not one of those players. I was the one who was never picked for anything. The one who was always picked last. Basically they didn't care enough about me to fully help me improve because I didn't care enough to try.

Youth Sports Culture
The sun isn't yet up and the air has a fall chill to it as you breathe in the day. The rest of the household is still asleep, but out the door you go, into the violet-skied morning. A quick workout, maybe a stretching session if you have time before morning practice starts. The day is filled with workouts, practice, school, more practice, some sort of appointment or meeting. You find yourself stumbling to your room after the sun has set. An hour of homework and shoving some food into your body before you crawl into bed, setting your alarm for another early morning. Day after day, week after week.

The Noise. Top Story - September 2018.
"Did you hear...." "He's so good..." "I didn't think he..." All of these things buzzing and whizzing around your head. All. Day. Long. From coaches to scouts, general managers, and teammates, everyone seems to have an opinion about the way you conduct yourself or performed. The less knowledge that one of these individuals holds the more dangerous and damaging that comment can be. The noise is never ending, the speculation even more so.

Fencing: The Coolest Underrated Sport out There
"Fencing? That's like sword fighting... right?" is a sentence that came out of my own mouth before joining it myself. Ever since I heard the word during my freshman year, it caught my interest. I was very disappointed to find that I was too busy to join that year. However, my schedule opened up enough in my sophomore year to add one after-school activity. I had the option to pick from drama or fencing. Considering this article, I think you can guess to which one I chose.

Being a Female Student-Athlete
Hi, my name is Erica, and the basis is that I love to ski. I particularly love to do freestyle skiing, typically big mountain (with the cliffs and moguls) but, I also love to do some park (the big jumps with those tricks that makes you wonder how long it actually takes to learn a trick (or is that just me, because it takes what seems like forever to learn a new trick)).

Cricketing Summer Ends on a High
The final test match of the English summer ended in another comfortable win for England. It was an emotional day as Alistair Cook bowed out of Test Cricket and James Anderson passed Glenn McGrath’s total to become the seam bowler with the most wickets. Not a bad way to end a positive summer for England.
