Bowerhill School spends the grant carefully with the aim of building a sustainable increase in the opportunities for PE and in the skills taught to children.
In the first years of the Sports Grant, we focused on developing the gymnastic ability of our children by providing intensive training for our teachers. Moonraker Gymnastics provided coaches to teach lessons alongside our teachers, eventually handing the teaching back to the teachers while they observed. A skills progression programme was introduced from the British Gymnastics Association coaching materials.
With gymnastics teaching much improved, we turned our attention to Dance. In2Sport have followed the same model as above, teaching lessons whilst the teachers observed and then switching round.
In 2017/18 we will be focussing again on gymnastics teaching to ensure that the teaching and skills are embedded.
PE is led by a teacher with subject responsibility, but at Bowerhill School we also provide administrative support for the PE Subject Leader to help with the coordination of teams and events.
A detailed account of our spending of the Sports Grant over the past year is available here. | sports |

Sitting/standing, bending over to pick stuff off the ground, the squat definitely has its place in just about all training programs.
Due to its functionality, the squat should be an integral part of any exercise program. That being said, it can be a tough move to learn. To avoid putting extra stress on other parts of the body, you shouldn’t just throw 225 on the bar and go at it.
If you’ve never squatted before, or don’t do it well, that’s ok, here are a few variations to help get you started!!
1. Wall squat- intro to squat, working on building quad and glute strength.
2. Squat isometrics- starting to find the balance point at the bottom of the squat with good trunk position.
3. Squat RNT- the band will pull the trunk forward forcing his trunk extensors to fire, helping keep me upright.
4. Bottoms squat iso- looking to control trunk position at the bottom of the squat.
5.Goblet squat to bench- keeps trunk upright and prevents hips from rising faster than the trunk.
6. Air squat- TADAAAAAAA
Try these out and let me know how you do!! | sports |

World Masters Squash Championships – 23-29 August 2020
This is your opportunity to play for Australia – with a full Aussie kit to impress everyone in your local club and family, and a world travel experience that is unrivalled.
Every two years the World Masters squash championships are held as individual events for each age group, but with an overall point score championship for the large and small nation groupings.
In 2018, the Championships were played in Charlottesville USA with over 800 competitors. The Australian team with more than 70 came second to England in the large nation’s competition. We don’t want that to happen again.
Am I good enough to play?
The individual championships in each age group are open to anyone to enter. In 2020, there will be local club players in each age group from Poland and surrounding European countries. If you are playing Masters competitively in your local competition or at the Australian Masters, you are certainly good enough. Plate systems apply, so you will have at least three matches, maybe many more.
Of course, most of the best players in the world over 35 will be there playing as well. Charlottesville saw Australian players such as Sarah Fitz-Gerald, Brett Martin and Sue Hillier carry on their squash careers by becoming world champion. In 2020, they could be your teammates.
Will I be part of the Team?
Points are scored depending on where you progress in the main draw, but also where you finish in the multiple plate events. For countries like Australia, with an historically good standard of squash, many of our players will find themselves in plate finals and semis with the possibility of scoring points for Australia.
With a large team, this will be our strength.
We are aiming to have over 100 players from Australia in Wroclaw in 2020. Sure, we want some of our past and present world champions to turn up and win, but we need every point to beat England, New Zealand, Canada, United States and South Africa to name a few.
In 2020, for the first time, we aim to have the Australian team staying at the one hotel and supporting each other in their individual matches. Just imagine a large group of Aussies in a major hotel in the middle of Wroclaw on long, warm, summer nights in August – let’s do Australia proud.
We will also make an Australian team uniform available to order before you go – probably a playing shirt and a warm-up top. We want to be a very visible presence in the world’s largest squash centre in the green and gold. And we’ll tell all the other players to talk to us because we’re friendly Aussies.
The Hasta La Vista Club
The venue for the World Masters in Poland is the world’s largest squash centre with 32 pristine Courttech courts. This means that over a thousand matches in the week will all be played in the same centre, with the best matches showcased on the glass centre court with comfortable spectator viewing.
Wroclaw – The City
Wroclaw is a university and research city of about 600,000 people in the south-west of Poland. It is recognised by many as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with a historic 13th Century city centre. It is the capital of the region of Silesia, and has really only been part of modern Poland since 1945. The city has at times been part of the kingdoms of Bohemia, Prussia, Hungary and Germany.
AMSA Coordination – Our Role
The Australian Masters Squash Association, with the help of the State and Territory associations will provide some coordination to make playing for Australia in the individual championships a great social event and something you can be proud to enjoy.
We’ve appointed Travel Associates in Canberra (TA-CBR) as our coordinating agency. TA-CBR will have all the details of what is happening with the World Masters and work closely with the AMSA coordination team.
We have already identified a team hotel (the Sofitel Old Town) in the centre of Wroclaw and have reserved 50 rooms for the week – so we can socialise together.
Before and during the championships, we will set up an Australian social media group that will make it easy to coordinate all the action both on and off the courts. Based on past experience, there will be a number of official and unofficial social events planned for the week and the AMSA team will assist team members to book and get organised.
We will produce a 2020 Australian playing shirt/top and a warm-up top for you to order and receive before you go overseas.
At the Australian Masters on the Gold Coast, we will set up a contact point or arrange a special session for those thinking of travelling to Poland, so that you can ask questions and make suggestions. We really would like you to think about joining us.
Making it a European Exploration
The Championships are only for one week. For some, they will want to fly directly from Australia to Wroclaw and return when play is completed. That’s fine, TA-CBR can book your flights.
For most, we expect that you will want to take some time to visit other sensational parts of Europe before or after the Championships. You will be able to coordinate the flight bookings, hire cars, hotel and tours with TA-CBR, with any Travel Associates offices, or even with your own local travel agency who can also coordinate some aspects of the trip with the TA-CBR.
You might want to get a few friends together and make a travel group out of it. How about a few days in Prague before the Championships and a few days in Berlin to follow. We might even be able to organise a local hit or socialising with the local squash clubs.
Or fly into London or Paris and make your way across Europe by train, play in the Championships, and fly back out from Moscow or Minsk.
Where groups set up an itinerary, we can not only help to coordinate, we can share your travel plans with others if you want to build the size of the group to reduce costs.
The objective is to provide a flexible level of coordination and support that meets your individual needs and enables you to get the most out of playing in the Championships.
Costs and Fundraising
TA-CBR has looked at accommodation and flights and estimated about $740 for the week’s accommodation each on a twin-share basis with full breakfast in the Sofitel hotel in the Old Town, and about $1,850 for the return economy airfare. That seems pretty reasonable to us for a such an amazing opportunity to play for Australia and socialise with some of the friendliest sports people you’re likely to meet.
AMSA will also work with the keen players to see what we can do about raising some sponsorship and financial support for our highly competitive Australian team. We will use any funds to reduce the incidental costs such as entry fees, social functions and local transport. We might even use some of the funds to induce some of our great Australian world-class squash players who do not normally play in the Masters to reconsider in 2020.
We want to win – we want to beat England – in 2020.
Even if you are thinking the Championships might be interesting, but you’re not sure yet, register now.
By registering, we will provide you with updates and further details as we get closer to the Championships, so that the excitement can grow and you can imagine yourself playing in the green and gold on the Hasta La Vista courts with Aussie team mates cheering you on.
We will be looking for a commitment to play in the Championships by about December this year to achieve the lowest costs and the best accommodation and flights.
We expect most arrangements will be finalised by February 2020, including side trips and flights, so you can focus on your training and cutting down on fats and alcohol in preparation for representing our nation proudly (that’s a joke, by the way – the AMSA coordination team fully appreciates the energy sources required to play our great sport).
Register now and join all of us in Wroclaw in August 2020. If you haven’t been to a World Masters Squash Championships before, talk to someone who has. They keep coming back – and so will you.

Physically, my body has changed and I am starting to strengthen and tone up parts of my body that were previously impossible to change shape, no matter what diet, exercise or gym lesson I tried! (HIIT, bodypump, long distance running., etc!). I love the weight training sessions, which push me to lift more and heavier. Every PT session with Selver is well planned in advance and full of challenging exercises. It is the best way to start the day and I am left in pain the day after, no matter what. Mentally, the weight training has given me a lot of mental strength and encouraged me to do weight training exercises I was previously scared of performing alone. What stands out for me from Selver’s personal training sessions is that there is a structure to them and this helps me train on my own too and to follow her programme. Her help and advice regarding my diet and tracking my macros has also been life changing. Her encouragement (both during and outside of our PT sessions) has made training a lifestyle choice for me, which I intend to perform regularly. I still have a long way to go, but I no longer see training as a chore. Seeing the results first hand encourages me to try harder. She is without a doubt the best trainer I have had and I would recommend her to anyone serious about their fitness and physical health. Her approach just works! | sports |

Steve Canyon, a big, lanky bay, was one of the finest race horses ever to compete at the High Hope Steeplechase. Owned and trained by Johnny Griggs and ridden by his son, Kirk, Steve won 16 races over fences and earned close to $400,000. He had the athletic ability of Michael Jordan, the durability of Cal Ripken, and the calm demeanor of Joe Montana. He was so quiet in the paddock before a race that spectators often thought something was wrong with him. But, when the flag dropped, he was all business and one could always count on his big kick in the stretch of each race. He raced from ages 3 to 9, and retired sound after a fabulous career. In honor of Steve Canyon, High Hope presents an annual award to recognize an individual or organization that has supported steeplechasing in the Bluegrass. | sports |

Sometimes you have to change things up, and cross training is a good way to do it. Here are 4 benefits of cross training.
- Reduces the risk of injury. When you aren’t doing the same thing over and over again, your body has more time to allow the body to adjust to each exercise and not be overwhelmed.
- Improves overall physical fitness. Exercising different parts of your body means improving all of your muscles, not just a few. When you cross train, your body is preparing for any kind of movement.
- Helps you lose weight more effectively. Switching to different exercise modes can help you continually burn a good amount of calories and help you lose weight.
- Keeps you involved and interested. When you switch up your program, you keep things interesting. That decreases the chance of you getting bored and not exercising anymore.
Want some ideas on how to incorporate cross training into your exercises? Here are some ideas from webMD.com.
- Session 1: Walk briskly for about 20 minutes, adding hand weights to increase the impact. Also do stretching for 5-10 minutes, then lift weights or use resistance bands for upper body strength for 20-30 minutes.
- Session 2: Jog at a steady pace for 20 minutes; stretch for 5-10 minutes; do weight training or any other exercise that builds lower body strength for 30 minutes.
- Session 3: Swim for 20-30 minutes; then do yoga, Pilates, dance, or another activity that enhances balance and flexibility, for 20-30 minutes.
- Session 4: Use an exercise bike, rowing machine, or cross-country skiing machine for 20-30 minutes; stretch for 10 minutes.
- Session 5: Walk briskly for 20 minutes; then train both your upper and lower body using weights or resistance bands for 20 minutes.
- Session 6: Jog at a varied pace for 30 minutes; stretch for 10 minutes.
- Session 7: Walk at a comfortable pace for 30-45 minutes; then do yoga or Pilates for 20-30 minutes. | sports |

Businesses were forced to take a look at their operations and quickly scale for an online audience.
In fact, 72% of sports club membership businesses now offer on-demand and livestream group workouts, up from 25% in 2019.
Even now, with in-person fitness studios slowly reopening, consumers are quick to announce they prefer merging their at-home fitness regime with the comforts of home. In other words, now is not the time to abandon your online membership model — it’s time to double down on it.
If the sports club membership model seems intimidating, fear not. We’ve rounded up our favorite sports membership websites to inspire you.
From small yoga studios to large-scale gyms, there’s a membership model your prospective subscribers are sure to find valuable.

A nationwide chain, Crunch Fitness has to bring their A-game to compete with the other large-scale gyms. To adapt to the virtual world, Crunch Fitness launched Crunch Live, which boasts 85+ online workouts inspired by Crunch Gym’s most popular classes.
They feature monthly and annual memberships, as well as a free trial to get subscribers in the door.
The preview videos do a great job of conveying the wide variety of classes available to paid subscribers, and the website, itself, is fun, with positive, inclusive language that feels welcoming to consumers at all fitness levels.
#2 Gold Country Yoga
Gold Country Yoga has an ideal sports club membership home page. It features approachable content that makes it easy for Google to crawl for:
- SEO elements
- Testimonials that prove their value
- Clear calls to action (including free classes)
The membership page is full of valuable information, like membership payment breakdowns, but there’s also a helpful bulleted list about the perks of their sports club membership.

I have not had the privilege of meeting Kevin Ashley BACON, my 2nd Cousin, once removed, (his Grandmother Eliza, and my Great Grandmother, Emily, were sisters), but it would be a pleasure not often afforded to anyone in Australia. Kevin tends to occupy himself with 'horse people' of the world, and lives in Europe (Paris ?), as far as I know. However, that doesn't stop me from writing about him and his services to the sport of Show Jumping.
Kevin was born in Dungog, NSW, Australia, on the 20th March, 1932, to Royal Charles 'Roy' BACON and Ethel Irene BACON - née COOTE.
I don't know anything of his childhood, growing up in Dungog. He still has family living in the area, as far as I know, which means I do, too. I remember my Grandmother, Pauline, telling me stories of Kevin's prowess, during my youth, and with each telling, Kevin seemed taller, stronger, more daring, and more successful, than before. He certainly had a 'fan' in Pauline. I think that was primarily due to her close relationship with Emily.
Kevin represented Australia at the Tokyo Olympics, in 1964, where he finished 7th in the Team Show Jumping event, with Thomas Fahey and Bridget MacIntyre. In the Individual event, he finished 30th, on a horse called 'Ocean Foam', owned by International showjumping course designer, the late Ted Dwyer.
His peculiar style of riding was to mark Kevin as unique, and the most common remark was about how much daylight was visible between Kevin and his saddle. It was often the case that Kevin was actually not touching the horse, except with his hands! He soon became a favourite on the jumping circuit and certainly, during his time, probably the foremost show-jumper in Australia. Kevin was to compete in a further two Olympics. At the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico, he placed 18th in the individual show jumping event on his horse 'Chichester'. He teamed up with John Fahey and Sam Campbell to be placed ninth in the team show jumping event.
In the Australian Show Jumping Championships, conducted by the Equestrian Federation of Australia, in Canberra, during 1969, Kevin won both the first, and second places! He rode 'Rajah' into first place, and 'Simon' into second place... quite an uncommon feat.
At the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, Canada, he placed 37th in the individual show jumping event, once again on his horse 'Chichester'. Later, when he teamed up with Guy Creighton and Barry Roycroft, they placed equal 9th in the team show jumping event.
1976 was also to be a special year as it was at the Nations Cup event in Melbourne, that Kevin teamed up with to ride in the Australian team with Robbie Allen, Eric Musgrove, and Gavin Chester, to beat the French and New Zealand teams, in the first truly international teams event in Australia.
Kevin's career had, by now, well and truly taken off, and he was winning regularly on international circuits, including four-time champion at Madison Square Gardens, and several Grand Prix contests in Paris and Canada. His famous horse, 'Chichester', was ridden by Kevin, to win the Berlin International.
In 1994, Kevin Bacon was awarded the Order of Australia Medal, and on 2 November 2000, he was awarded the Australian Sports Medal for his equestrian achievements.
A true sporting Champion!
The book - "Kevin Bacon: Australia's Extraordinary Horseman": By Betty Lane Holland was published in 2002 and is a remarkable and heartwarming story of an Aussie battler who rose to be hailed as one of the greatest show jump riders in the world. | sports |

Building stronger, more sculpted glutes is a goal shared by many fitness enthusiasts. Not only does a well-developed backside enhance physical appearance, but it also improves athletic performance and reduces the risk of injury. Achieving maximum results requires incorporating a variety of exercises that target the different muscles of the glutes. Here, we explore the top workouts designed to maximize your glute-building efforts.
Squats: The Foundation of Glute Training
Squats are widely regarded as the quintessential exercise for glute development. They target the gluteus maximus, medius, and minimus, providing a solid foundation for strength and growth. For best results, experiment with different stances—such as the sumo squat, which places greater emphasis on the glutes and inner thighs, or the narrow stance squat for focusing on the quads and glutes. Remember, the key to effective squatting is depth; aim to lower yourself until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
Deadlifts: Powerlifting for the Glutes
Deadlifts are another powerhouse movement for building glute strength. They engage the entire posterior chain, including the hamstrings, lower back, and glutes. Traditional deadlifts are effective, but for those specifically looking to enhance their glutes, the Romanian deadlift is a variant that shifts more focus onto the hamstrings and glutes. It’s crucial to maintain proper form to avoid injury and ensure the glutes are activated throughout the movement.
Hip Thrusts: Targeted Glute Activation
For targeted glute activation, few exercises match the efficiency of hip thrusts. This movement specifically isolates the gluteus maximus, leading to significant strength and size gains when performed consistently. Use a barbell or resistance band to add intensity to your hip thrusts, and make sure to squeeze your glutes at the top of the movement for optimal muscle engagement.
Bulgarian Split Squats: Unilateral Strength
Bulgarian split squats are an excellent way to correct muscle imbalances and build unilateral strength. By elevating one leg, this exercise forces the working leg to lift the majority of your body weight, intensely targeting the glutes and quads. Adding dumbbells or a barbell can further increase the demand on your glutes, making this exercise a challenging but effective component of your routine.
Glute Bridges: Versatile Glute Building
Glute bridges are a versatile exercise that can be performed anywhere, making them an ideal choice for both gym-goers and home fitness enthusiasts. Similar to hip thrusts, glute bridges focus on the gluteus maximus but with less strain on the lower back. For an added challenge, elevate your feet or try single-leg variations.
Step-Ups: Functional Glute Development
Step-ups mimic everyday movements, making them a functional exercise that enhances both strength and mobility. This exercise primarily targets the gluteus maximus and helps improve balance and coordination. To maximize glute engagement, use a higher step and focus on driving through your heel as you step up.
Incorporating a variety of exercises that target the different muscles of the glutes is key to achieving maximum glute-building results. From squats and deadlifts to more targeted movements like hip thrusts and glute bridges, each exercise offers unique benefits. By consistently challenging your glutes with these top workouts, you'll be well on your way to a stronger, more sculpted backside. | sports |

After Italy lifted the EURO 2020 trophy against England in an epic finale to the European Championships Sunday night, July 11 violence ensued at the stadium and onto the streets of London with disgruntled England fans unleashing mayhem onto their Italian counterparts.
While the aftermath of the match saw both celebrations and mourning, it also saw an ugly side of some England sports fans who began to physically, verbally, and racially attacking their Italian counterparts.
The streets of London saw vandalism and violence which escalated to physical brawls between some groups. In some visuals, English fans were seen insulting Italy’s national flag by stomping on it.
“Unbelievable footage of violence in Wembley tonight. A literal child gets punched by a full grown man and an Asian man is kicked repeatedly in the head by several people. Disgusting behaviour,” tweeted @KyleJGlen who accompanied his post with a video of the violence at Wembley Stadium.
“Italy fans were attacked after the game in Wembley, London. Seeing all the racial slurs being thrown at (Jadon) Sancho, (Marcus) Rashford and (Bukayo) Saka, I’m really happy Italy won,” posted @melvinnasasira, referring to racial abused hurled at the three young English players by their own supporters on social media.
Some were claiming that the people who were attacked at Wembley Stadium were gatecrashers, fans without tickets who forced their way into the stadium.
But, some commented that it still did not justify the violence against them. | sports |

This photograph shows champion Australian Olympic swimmer Shane Gould climbing out of the Ryde Swimming Centre pool in Sydney's northern suburbs in 1971 at about 15 years of age. Gould is wearing a one-piece green nylon swimming costume, with the yellow badge of the Forbes and Ursula Carlile Training Squad sewn on the front.
- Shane Gould (1956–) first gained international attention in world swimming in April and December 1971 when she equalled the world record in the women’s 100 metres freestyle, then broke world records in the 200 metres, 400 metres, 800 metres and 1,500 metres freestyle events. Gould became the first person, male or female, to hold world freestyle records simultaneously in all distances from 100 metres to 1500 metres and in the 200 metres individual medley.
- When this photograph was taken, Gould was training to represent Australia at the Summer Olympics due to start in August 1972 in Munich, in what was then West Germany. She is still the only woman to win five individual medals in swimming – three gold, one silver and one bronze – in the same Olympic Games, achieved when she was only 15 years of age. The gold medals in the 200 metres individual medley and the 200 metres and 400 metres freestyle were all won in world record time.
- Gould's success demonstrated both her talent as a swimmer and the results of her intensive training program, which she began from about the age of 13. By 1971, she was training for approximately 25 hours a week under coach Forbes Carlile (1921–) in sessions before and after school. In winter she used a heated indoor pool, but in summer she trained at the outdoor Ryde Swimming Centre, which would have contributed to the bleached condition of her hair in this picture.
- At the time of this photograph top swimmers were not professionals, and Gould herself was still a student at Turramurra High School. Gould's international success was not followed by any paid product endorsements or sponsorship deals such as those that could be expected today. Even when she was a world record holder, her parents were still paying the 20 cents entrance fee each time she used the Ryde Swimming Centre.
- Gould is pictured here wearing a nylon swimsuit (a common material and style at the time), made by the leading Australian manufacturer, Speedo. Today, most top swimmers wear swimsuits made from form-fitting fabrics, designed to enable the wearer to go faster. Gould is not wearing goggles or a cap. At the time, goggles were not worn during competitions, although Gould sometimes wore them while training. Caps were always worn in competitions.
- Gould was Australian of the Year in 1972 and has been designated by the National Trust as one of Australia's 'Living National Treasures'. Burdened by the pressure of public expectation, she retired from competitive swimming one year after the Munich Olympics. A couple of years later, Gould and her husband retreated to a Western Australian property. In recent years Gould has returned to swimming and participated in Masters events. She has continued to be involved in swimming through surfing, learn-to-swim and water safety projects, including some conducted in Fiji through the Shane Gould Swimming Foundation.

https://keren.link/2020/10/26/effective-ab-workouts-for-beginners/ | 2021-07-28T23:51:06 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2021-31/segments/1627046153803.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20210728220634-20210729010634-00505.warc.gz | 0.917023 | 1,751 | CC-MAIN-2021-31 | webtext-fineweb__CC-MAIN-2021-31__0__146925003 | en | Nowadays, you hear a lot of misleading facts about certain workouts and you don’t always know if what you’re doing is really benefiting you or not. Most people are already unmotivated by exercise, so how encouraging is it to do a bunch of movements that don’t even work no matter how many times you do them? So here are 10 effective core workouts for those who aren’t natural athletes.
1. Bird-Dog Crunch
Start on the floor on all fours, hands placed directly underneath your shoulders, hips in line with your knees. This is your starting position. Lift your right hand and extend your arm straight out in front of you, keeping it shoulder height, while simultaneously lifting your left leg and extending it straight back. Your whole body should be in a straight line from right fingertips to left toes.
Bring your left leg to touch your right elbow under your stomach. Extend your leg and arm out again. Return to starting position. Repeat on the other side Do five reps on each side. If you’re unable to maintain form, simplify this movement by forgoing the crunch. Instead, extend your arm and opposite leg out and hold for three seconds, then switch sides.
2. Standing Bicycle Crunches
Do traditional crunches cause discomfort? Rubin suggests this True Beginner variation instead. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hands placed behind your head. With a tight core, straight back and relaxed shoulders lift your right leg and simultaneously raise your right knee and lower your left elbow towards each other. Return to the starting position. Repeat on the opposite side. Do five reps on each side.
If rotating your upper body downwards is too difficult, simply lift your knee to your chest while keeping your upper body still, alternating legs.
3. Seated Leg Lifts
Don’t be fooled by this basic-looking leg lift: Beginners to even more advanced folks will start feeling the burn after a few reps. Sit on the floor, legs extended straight out in front of you. Keeping your core engaged, lean back slightly, so you’re able to place your hands on either side of your glutes. Take a deep breath and lift one leg six inches off the ground. Hold for five seconds, and then put it down. Repeat with the other leg. Continue alternating for one-minute straight, then take a 20-second break. Repeat for five rounds.
To make this exercise easier, lift one leg at a time without stopping to hold each one extended for five seconds. Need more of a challenge? After lifting a heel, bring your knee into your chest, then extend your heel back out and lower down. Repeat on the opposite side.
If performed incorrectly, sit-ups can cause more pain than they’re worth. Rubin breaks down how to safely and effectively perform the move. To start, sit on the floor with your knees bent, heels touching the floor, hands on either side of your head, shoulders dropped and relaxed to avoid tension in the neck. Keeping your feet on the ground, lay back until your back is flat on the floor, or as far as you’re able. Rise back up. Continue for one-minute straight, then take a 20-second break. Repeat for five rounds.
Having trouble keeping your core and back engaged? Slowly lower yourself as far as you can, and work up to lowering completely down to the floor. There’s no need to go all the way back until you can maintain perfect form, says Rubin.
5. Modified Bicycle Crunch
Start in the same neutral position as the sit-up, sitting with knees bent, heels flat on the floor, hands on either side of your head. Bring the right knee and left elbow towards one another, with a simple and gentle twist. Return to the start position. Complete the movement with the left knee and right elbow. Continue for one-minute straight, then take a 20-second break. Repeat for five rounds.
6. Spider Plank Crunch
Still have fuel left in the tank? Rubin challenges True Beginners to tap into their Spidey sense. Start in a push-up position, hands on the ground directly underneath your shoulders, legs extended backward with your toes on the ground, so your body is in a straight line. Lift your right leg and bring your knee towards the outside of your right elbow. Return to plank position. Repeat the movement with the other leg. Do five reps with each leg.
If this is too challenging, simply hold a plank on your elbows or hands for 30 seconds at a time, for three rounds. (If you have a wrist issue, Rubin recommends doing this movement on your elbows.)
7. Cat / Cow
This familiar two-part yoga move improves flexibility to the lumbar and cervical spine while strengthening the abs, and provides a reminder of how you should breathe during abdominal movement. Start on all fours with hands beneath your shoulders and knees on the ground.
Inhale, dropping your chest as you push your hips and shoulder blades back into the “cow” position. Lift your chin and chest, and gaze forward. For “cat,” exhale as you draw your belly button to your spine and round your back toward the ceiling like a cat. 2 sets of 10 reps with 60 seconds rest between sets.
By keeping your belly button drawn in and challenging your stability throughout your shoulders, core, and hips, you’re building strong abs. Lie in a prone pushup position with forearms resting on the floor. Your elbows should be under your shoulders and bent 90°.
Push up off the elbows, tucking your chin so your head is in line with your body. Keep head in-line with your spine, and the belly button is drawn in. Hold for one minute. 2 sets of 60-second hold, with 60 seconds of rest between sets.
9. Swiss Ball Rollout
Swiss Ball Rollout is a unique exercise for targeting the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis which form the core of your abdominal muscles. This exercise also engages the shoulders and the lower back muscles. With Swiss Ball Rollout, you get a good stretch on your core muscles at the top position and a strong contraction at the finish. Swiss Ball Rollout can be used as a finisher in an abdominal workout program where you can give the entire core section a good stretch.
Kneel in front of a Swiss Ball. Keep your toes firmly planted on the floor for better stability. Put your hands in a triangle position with the fingers touching the surface of the Swiss Ball. Slowly roll out the Swiss Ball by extending the hips and pushing out with your arms. Roll out the ball as far as you comfortably can. At the bottom position, your arms and legs should be extended.
Your elbows should now be at the center of the Swiss Ball. Maintain a straight back position; keep your lower back aligned with your upper back and hips. Roll in the Swiss Ball to the starting position by contracting the rectus abdominis toward the transverse abdominis and flexing the hips. Repeat the exercise until you have completed the targeted number of reps.
10. Overhead Squat
The Overhead Squat is an exercise you don’t see used much anymore to condition athletes. It is still widely used with Olympic lifters and CrossFitters, but it has fallen out of favor in recent years. Simply put, it is one of the best exercises for developing your upper body, core, lower body, shoulder/lower-body mobility, balance, and total body strength. However, it requires a lot of technique, which is what discourages many people from learning it.
To perform this exercise with a barbell, it’s a good idea either to be in a tall cage or to use bumper plates. This will make it safe to drop the bar if you get into trouble. Place your feet approximately hip-width apart. Stand up tall with your chest out and your shoulders back. Begin by taking a wide grip on the bar (wider than shoulder-width). Extend your arms and hold the bar overhead.
Position the bar slightly back so that it’s in line with your hips. Try to have your arms next to your ears. This positioning is important for balance later on. From this starting position, lower yourself into a squat by pushing your hips back. When you reach the bottom position, reverse directions, and stand back up again. | sports |

Representing Great Britain in 4 Olympic Games, Kate won bronze at London 2012, having suffered a fractured jaw early in the Games. She finally stood at the top of the podium with her teammates in Rio 2016. Over the course of her 18-year career, Kate amassed 20 medals, alongside her Olympic medals, these included: World Cup bronze, European gold and Commonwealth silver.
Kate’s perspective on what it takes to lead has been shaped and developed under different coaches, within various leadership groups and by all of the vastly different players and personalities she’s interacted with over the years. An open mind, a hunger to always be better and a constant drive for improvement meant this became a massive part of the obsession. Mistakes and failures were plentiful; they became the fuel that stoked the fire of ambition. Experiencing the rollercoaster of international team sport for 18 years provided her with so much exceptional knowledge of team culture, leadership and people.
Since Rio, Kate has used her insight and expertise to help teams and individuals thrive in both sport and business settings. She currently works across different industries as a leadership and team effectiveness coach, including Virgin Media. She also coaches Hampstead & Westminster HC women’s first team. Kate is an ambassador for Access Sport and Women’s Sport Trust and has served on a number of Athlete Commissions including the British Olympic Association, Federation of International Hockey and European Olympic Committee.
In Rio, Kate, alongside her wife Helen, also entered Olympic history as the first same sex married couple to win an Olympic medal playing for the same team. Today they deliver their learning in companies and schools and are hugely respected for their humble approach and appetite to help others achieve their potential. Passionate about sharing their stories and breaking down negative taboos and barriers, they continue to work with charities, which support like-minded people. Helen and Kate currently serve as ambassadors for the charity Access Sport, they proactively support disability hockey and powerfully share their experiences of mental health and being LGBTQ+ as passionate activists and supporters of equality and justice for all people. Helen and Kate are proud Mums to their daughter, Pfeiffer. In 2021 they completed their first book – Winning Together. The book harnesses all of their knowledge and experience from international sport and the business world to help people build better teams and get the best from themselves.
With thanks to Kate Richardson-Walsh for supporting the SDF’s Festival of Learning and Development 2021 | sports |

Anticipation for this year’s Pikes Peak International Hill Climb has been heavy. Never before in the history of the world’s tallest hill climb race has there been so much interest and excitement about it. This year, an unprecedented 400 drivers (157 of which are officially competing) will be vying for the Peak, pushing themselves and their vehicles from the lofty nine thousand or so feet at the base to the fourteen thousand foot summit.
International race stars will be there, with Pikes Peak veterans like Rhys Millen, Romain Dumas, and other members of the “9 Minute Club” – those who’ve scaled the peak in less than ten minutes – leading the show. Newcomers with a lot of racing credibility, however, will also be hitting the mountain, including Sebastien Loeb driving for Peugeot seeing if he can turn his powerful success as nine-time World Rally Champion into a win on the newly-paved hill.
Returning Pikes Peak International Hill Climb champions are also going to be there, including Nobuhiro Tajima, another member of the 9 Minute Club, who is tackling the hill this time in a custom-built electric race car aptly called The Monster after its large-and-in-charge driver. Another veteran on the mountain will be Jean-Philippe Dayraut of France, who is taking the unusual step of driving a 900 horsepower No Limit Mini Countryman that’s never been tested in hill climb before. Rod Millen is this time also going electric in a purpose-built Toyota EV P002. In fact, a total of seven electric cars will be running up the hill, including two from Mitsubishi in a surprise entry of a set of newly-designed MiEV Evolution II twins. One of those will be driven by six-time Pikes Peak motorcycle champion Greg Tracy behind the steering wheel of the four-wheel drive EV.
On two wheels, things are also going to get hot in the thin air of the Peak. Every major motorcycle maker and race club that can be named will be vying for the top. Of interest are some electric entries from Lightning Motors and a possible entry from Brammo as well. The Lightning will be ridden by last year’s Pikes Peak 1205 division winner Carlin Dunne, so all eyes will be watching his potential record-setting climb. Veteran climber Doug Siddens from Texas is unveiling a newly-designed Polaris RZR-X for the race, hoping to take his Exhibition Powersport category win from last year and make it a double.
This year, the Colorado Springs Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will broadcast live via Internet streaming on RedBull.TV in a 91st Race to the Clouds presentation.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is the second-oldest motorsports event in the U.S., and the tallest mountain climb in all of world motor climbing events. Racing begins early in the morning on June 30 and runs all day. | sports |

It’s more than just a simple design element—it’s a motivation to push oneself to the limits and a statement of commitment to a lifestyle of physical strength and discipline. Each image of a muscular physique reminds you of your fitness goals, the routine reps, the grueling sets, and the unyielding dedication necessary to attain such a stature.
Bodybuilders depicted in these wallpapers come in various forms: some soaked in sweat after an intense workout, others showcasing their muscular symmetry on stage, their biceps bulging and abs etched with strength and hard work. This diverse range allows enthusiasts to choose a wallpaper to match their dream physique, adding a personal touch to the motivational aspect of these designs.
The Impact of Bodybuilding Wallpaper
Why is bodybuilding wallpaper such a hit amongst fitness buffs, you may ask? It creates an environment that keeps you engaged and helps remind you every day of why you lace up those gym shoes. It fosters a unique ambience around your space, be it your bedroom, home gym, or even your office cubicle, triggering an automatic inspiration to stay shape-centric and health-orientated.
The presence of powerful visuals in our everyday environment fuels our inherent drive to progress. Why not choose a bodybuilding wallpaper that embodies the strong, dedicated individual you aspire to become?
The Integration of Bodybuilding Supplements in Wallpaper Design
A rather innovative trend that has emerged in the world of bodybuilding wallpaper design is the inclusion of health supplements, symbolizing a holistic approach to bodybuilding. One such popular supplement is sarms for bulking. This exact phrase symbolizes a product that has been widely acclaimed by bodybuilders for boosting muscle growth and endurance. Its portrayal in a bodybuilding wallpaper underlines the role such supplements play in an athlete’s journey.
The display of sarms for bulking in a bodybuilding wallpaper design is a further testament to how comprehensive this lifestyle truly is. It isn’t just about the workouts and diet but also emphasizes the significance of supplements in achieving optimum results and reaching your fitness goals faster. It serves as a vibrant reminder about the importance of a 360-degree approach to bodybuilding.
Digital Transformation of Bodybuilding Wallpaper
The digital age has offered up a new avenue for bodybuilding wallpaper enthusiasts – digital wallpapers on smartphones and computers. Such platforms now allow individuals to keep their idols or ideal physiques within sight, infusing their workflow or free time with the bodybuilder’s spirit. In this arena too, sarms for bulking images find a place, reminding users about the importance of supplements in their fitness journey.
In conclusion, bodybuilding wallpapers serve as around-the-clock inspirations for those committed to the lifestyle or any fitness enthusiast. The multitude of designs and the integration of symbols like sarms for bulking make them a versatile motivational tool no fitness enthusiast should underestimate. | sports |

Soccer can do that to you.
“La pasión del fútbol” is contagious; some even say soccer is a religion. The World Cup is the most-watched sporting event on Earth. Soccer is growing in popularity in the U.S.; it has surpassed the Super Bowl and the Olympics in popularity, generating millions of mentions on social media sites and hundreds of millions of viral video views. The USA-Portugal game attracted 24.7 million viewers across two television networks, ESPN and Univision. The ESPN audience alone — 18.2 million viewers — set a record as the largest to watch a soccer game on U.S. television. The World Cup is a stage on which countries from across the globe come together. The sport of fútbol itself is a great excuse for people of all ages, cultures, and countries to come together, whether it is by watching or playing the sport. Read More | sports |

Monday 4 Jun 2018 | 9am-3pm
Some of the most talented and entertaining State Basketball League players will be taking the court at Bendat Basketball Centre on WA Day, 4th June 2018 in a game to raise money for Lifeline WA.
Hosted in conjunction with the ‘Festival of Basketball’, there will be youth competitions, family friendly activities for the kids and some of the most exciting basketball you will ever see in WA.
Suicide remains the leading cause of death for Western Australians between the ages of 15 and 44. More than 40,000 Western Australians contact Lifeline’s 13 11 14 service every year in crisis. Money raised will go towards training more Telephone Crisis Support volunteers to help those who need it most. This is truly lifesaving work.

He knows what he can do here. He may even know all of the exercises he can do. Someone who is working on his upper body strength may start by doing push ups. No one is going to question what someone does for his workup, unless he decides to do ballet in the weight room. Before he goes over and starts the bulk of his workout, he should make sure that he has all the safety equipment required. Before beginning he should put on his weight lifting belt and find a spotter.
The reason for a spotter is obvious. Sometimes a person can take on more weight they can handle, or he might become too tired to continue a particular lift. The spotter is there to make sure the person doing the weight lifting exercises can bring the weight back down safely.
Weight lifting belts serve a different purpose. Similar belts are used for people lifting heavy items, including furniture. This item is designed to prevent back injuries. There are also things to remember about lifting weights. Everyone should remember to lift with their knees, not with their back when engaging in bodybuilding. | sports |

During the pandemic IRONAID gave back $450,000 to race communities to help battle the pandemic. In 2022, IRONAID will continue to bring healthcare athletes together and support the IRONMAN Foundation’s efforts to provide health and wellness access to children and youth in our race communities by supporting local organizations that help get kids active and healthy.

Whether you’re looking to cure that slice, sharpen up your short game, knock a few shots off your handicap, or hone your mental approach I can help.
The key is to understand your goals and aspirations and tailor the lessons to help you achieve those goals. Whether it’s to be more consistent, win the club championship, or just have more fun, the lessons will be built around your needs. Observing your golf swing, with an experienced eye, a video camera and the latest computer based golf swing analysis software.
A typical initial golf lesson: We’ll start with a chat to better understand your golfing goals. I’ll ask you to conduct a school report for each of your major shots on an A-F scale; with “A” being outstanding (against your current handicap or skill level) and “F” meaning “I need a lot of help”. (Driving, fairway, pitching, chipping, bunkers, putting and course management) This will give us a great sense of your strengths and weaknesses. Then we’ll assess your flexibility and coordination. After that you’ll hit a few shots and I’ll carry out an MOT on your golf swing. Then I’ll video your golf swing with two cameras, and we’ll study your golf swing together and identifying the 1-2 areas which will make the biggest difference. Then with some guidance from me, you’ll start to explore and become more aware of your golf swing than ever before. We’ll identify you blind spots where you will make the biggest improvements.

I’ve been playing the E6 since it’s product release … for my game and swing speed ( handicap of 9 – driver swing speed of 101) it matches up perfectly. I’ve tried others ( Titleist Pro V and NXT, Taylor made Penta, Callaway Chrome, Srixon) and I always end up coming back to the E6.
Another Great Ball From Bridgestone – By 64lob
Being an almost exclusive Bridgestone ball player, and in the midst of a swing change(1-plane vs 2-plane), I decided to give these a shot.
Biggest difference I see between this ball and both the B330 and the B330s is how much it wants to go straight, both off the tee and at higher speeds with other clubs, almost annoying so. Trying to work the ball when “going after it” requires considerable effort, and generally at the cost of distance.
That being said, the ball holds its line incredibly well in the wind. Played it recently in 20 mph winds and found myself taking dead aim and much near normal club selection. For that reason alone it will stay in the bag as my windy day ball.
The e6 has considerably better feel and consistency than the Titleist NXT, NXT Tour,and Velocity and the Cally Chrome from 150 yards and in, where I would occasionally get a weird “jumper” on well struck shots.
I had no problem getting this ball to stop on less than full shots, which for me is an issue with lower priced balls. It’s obviously a “drop and stop ball” and not a “suck it back” ball, but it provides enough spin to hold harder greens. It has a solid, yet soft feel off the putter and rolls true. Plays very similar to the B330s off the putter.
Bottom line is the ball will not replace the B330 or B330s for me, but it will be my back-up for days when I suck and on days where the wind sucks.
There is not another ball I have tried (I’ve tried nearly all of them) at this price that does what it supposed to do, offers some performance benefits around the greens, and is as consistent in what it does as this ball, period.
Still wasting money on $42/doz. balls – By NYC Oracle
After going for a swing evaluation and understanding my velocity and skill level are best served by a slightly softer ball, the e6 benefits are:
Less side spin;
More control with wedges;
More reasonably priced per dozen;
Fewer strokes overall;
Hi-viz yellow (and orange) easier to find;
More time and money to spend at 19th Hole.
Time to get on board, right?
Great Ball for the Money – By Robb Scofield
The e6 is a great golf ball for the money, low spin off the tee and a nice flight. I have played a lot of golf balls and I have settled on the e6. You can spend a lot more on Pro V1’s or any other top ball and most likely get better performance around the green. I think for the once or twice a week golfer any one of the Bridgestone e series balls are a great value.
Very Forgiving Ball – By Daryl D
This is a very forgiving ball, with straight and long distance off the tee, plenty of control for the approach, and a soft feel on the green. I’m a big fan, and have replaced a few other brands in my bag in favor of this ball.
Great Low Spin Ball at a Great Price – By Iel76
The new Bridgestone e6 is a low compression, low spin ball designed to minimize left to right spin (reducing the bad effect of hooks and slices). I found that for my swing, (importantly, everyone’s swing is different), I hit this easily as far as the much more expensive Pro V1 (or for that matter the more expensive Bridgestone B330 series).
Around the greens there is not as much spin as the Pro V1, but the e6 has adequate stopping power. On windy days in Florida, I really appreciate the way this low spin ball penetrates the wind. At $20 less per dozen than the Pro V1 or Pro V1x, it’s my new ball. I was honestly shocked at how well this ball performs.
Excellent Feel, I Have Switched From A Titleist To A Brigestone e6 – By N. Holmes
I did not think that a golf ball from any manufacture would make much of a difference in performance, but testing various ones, and measuring the distance with my Garmin Approach G6 GPS, and my Garmin Approach S1 Watch shows me that there is a difference.
I am a woman who has been playing golf for over 50 years, and as technology changes I have found what a difference a new set of Callaway graphite clubs makes over my older set, just as golf balls have gotten better.
With my Callaway’s I was using the Noodle Long and Soft and did see a difference, the ball felt softer, went farther, and I was very happy with these golf balls. I took a refresher lesson last year, and the instructor said that the Titleist Velocity would be a good ball for me to try.
I have been playing these in Tournaments and in my Women’s league and felt that I did get great distance, even hitting that occasional 200 yard drive (measured with my Garmin device), though this was not my normal distance, I just hit the ball in the perfect spot.
I felt that these golf balls on approach shots using a wedge would go pass the green, they did not stop or spin, they just kept rolling. I even tried the Pro V1’s, and they were okay, but I am not going to spend that much money.
I play all year in the desert of Arizona, and in the summers it can get very hot. Last week I found in the pond a Bridgestone e6 and tried it along with my Titleist Velocity, I was very impressed with the e6.
Bang for thhe Buck – By Lucas X. Bozek
There once was a time when the Black Titleist was the national standard by which all other balls were compared. We had the “Dot” the “Tourney” and the Wilson Staff. But that balata cover and 100 compression were as good as anything. The click coupled with the soft touch around the greens was amazing. Those days are gone.
Now we have the Pro-V-1, which runs 4 bucks or more a ball. Loose one and you cry like a lost child. Enter the Bridgestone E6. Good feel around the green, good feel off the tee and in between. And for 2 dollars less. I have played every make of Nike, Srixon, Titleist, and the new Top-Flites. but this is as decent as any.
The Pro-V1 is a great ball, but it doesn’t make you any better than any of the others. For my money this is the only one I play. The soft cover wears a bit quicker than the E7, but feels better putting and the dimple design does cut down on the sidespin. It’s not going to save you from that duck hook or banana split, take a lesson.
Run don’t walk to get these very soft and very high-quality golf balls – By Techie
Extremely high-quality golf ball, and the softest ball I’ve ever played. Ideal during cold weather, clicks off your putter softly and reduces hooks/slices. If you’re a ‘senior’ golfer, this is DEFINITELY a ball worth buying.
We older gents cannot generate the swing speed of our younger brethren. Thus if we buy the typical “PRO-V” ball which is HIGH COMPRESSION, we cannot hit it very far, because the ball doesn’t compress enough upon compact to then leap off the club face. The Bridgestone e6 ball is a joy to hit and to putt.
Top Notch Ball, Long, straight, durable. Highly recommend – By Thomas Nostramo
I have been using this ball on and off for two years. I experimented with numerous balls and I keep going back to the E6. I don’t buy into the matching of swing speed theory. I have a swing speed between 100-105 MPH, and when my game is on, my shot is straight, but when the slice or pull hooks show up, this ball gives me confidence.
The distance gains for me are between 15-25 Yards depending on what ball I have been testing (most recently taylormade project a) I am a high spin player so this ball helps me lower my driver/wood spin rate perfectly. I would love to use a Prov1 or a similar ball but I just keep finding myself going back to this ball.
Bridgestone New E6 Golf Balls Pros
Feels great, durable, excellent in the wind and cold weather, longest (non distance ball) I have hit, also made in the USA.
Bridgestone New E6 Golf Balls Cons
Not the best spinning ball around the green ( but I don’t consider this a con because its not designed for spin) but i feel that it launches high and descends nicely to offset the lack of spin to hold the green when you need it. Highly recommend for all handicaps. | sports |

After seeing the results of Francine Schaepper’s photography from the Jesse Enkamp seminar, we booked her in for a session at Kando. Absolutely could not be happier with the results! Francine was professional, unobtrusive, and the photos are brilliant. We now have a set of professional, creative photos that we can use for our website, external and internal marketing, that perfectly captures the spirit and feeling of our club and students. I could not recommend her more highly.

PENINSULA ISHINRYU KARATE – KARATE / MELBOURNE
In December 2015 I ran a seminar for Sensei Jess Enkamp a visting Karate-Ka from Sweden who has a significant e-following and is world re-known. Francine was the official photographer for this event and she blew me away with the quality of her work. I was so impressed I employed her services to do a photo shoot at my dojo for the purpose of re-launching my website.
Francine has a unique ability to capture raw emotion, raw intent and a real human element when shooting martial artists. There are a lot of people who can take good photos but very few of them are good photographers. Francine has a professional setup, a professional attitude, is understanding and very accommodating. The post production of her work is just as impressive as the raw images captured.
I would recommend Francine without hesitation to any martial art school, event and organisers for your next photo shoot or to replace the use of stock images on any printed / published material.

SIX HARMONIES MARTIAL ARTS – SHAOLIN KUNG FU * BJJ * MUAY THAI FIT / MELBOURNE
Before starting to hire Francine as our “in house” photographer, we were using either stock photos or photos we´d taken ourselves during training. Some key attributes of our academy are the bright and spacious location and the great energy here. Since hiring Francine to do all the photography for us, our website has a much more professional and consistent look. It now really looks and feels like us and the quality of the photography reflects our strive for quality in all areas as well. The majority of our enquiries come through our website and we´ve had many comments about the great photos on it which have been crucial in motivating new students to contact us for a trial lesson.
I highly recommend Francine as a photographer in any area of martial arts. Being a martial artist herself she has a great eye for movement and how to capture it. Her work is unique and of high quality.

GUESTS MARTIAL ARTS – NINJITSU / MELBOURNE
Prior to Francine´s photo session we used photographs taken by either myself or parents during classes or events at the school. It took quite a while to build a collection of images that I was happy with for our website but when the time came to update the site again the amount of effort needed to capture great quality images quickly that don´t look staged was too much. So we decided to get in a professional and that´s where Francine came in. She was/is both professional and courteous, has a martial arts background which was very important to me in that I knew that she understood the movements and types of timing that a martial artist uses. I didn´t have to explain different types of kicks or a certain move all that much. Francine already understood what I wanted and was able to make solid suggestions to help me achieve the right results. Francine was able to work in and around the classes without causing a disruption to the students in particular the children´s classes. This allowed the students to both behave and look natural in the images which has helped me capture the true look and feel of training at my school.
I can happily recommenc Francine for any martial arts photography work that you might be considering.

MARTIAL ARTS RECOVERY – SUPPLEMENT / AUSTRALIA
I can highly recommend Francine Schaepper who was responsible for the great results from the shoot for my new website and business martialartsrecovery. When trying to capture movements, intensity, and flow of any martial art, it requires a photographer who understands these dynamics and can capture them appropriately. Francine has a great understanding of these concepts as she has a background in Karate, currently practices Kung Fu, and has an impressive Martial Arts photography portfolio.
If you have any projects in mind that require these skills then please get in touch with her.
Lawrence Michell, owner Martialartsrecovery “A complete martial arts supplement”
ZENSHIN MARTIAL ARTS & WELLNESS CENTER / NYC
„I was Francine’s Sensei while she studied Karate in New York City over 10 years ago and have kept in touch with her throughout the years. I have been witness to her progression in the arts and photography, and as a fine artist myself, I can attest to the caliber of her work. She has a great way of capturing the subtle movements as well as the explosive ones in the martial arts she’s photographed. As a Sensei, I can say it is because of her vast martial arts training that she’s able to do so. Francine has great knowledge of the biomechanics associated with different martial arts which makes her able to capture the techniques at the precise moment she desires. Her work has always been both aesthetically pleasing to the eye as well as powerful!
It is with full confidence that I recommend Francine Schaepper as a more than competent photographer, as well as a stellar human being.“

Manual therapy continues to grow in prominence as scientific research catches up with what most coaches, trainers, and athletes have known for years: it helps. Every year, more pro teams make investments in massage therapists, often keeping them on their payrolls indefinitely. So what is sports massage exactly? And what sets it apart from a spa treatment?
To put things simply, sports massage is manual therapy designed specifically to help active people meet their goals—whether those goals consist of enhancing their performance or recovering from an injury. Unlike a spa or relaxation treatment, in which the therapist may use a routine to cover the entire body, sports therapists work in a more specific manner to address a particular problem or to work toward a particular goal, using whatever tools necessary to achieve those ends. | sports |

Marysville Select Basketball was formed to prepare young, aspiring, basketball players for high school level play. Tryouts for each Boys Marysville team are held annually in the fall with team practices beginning by October. The 5th through 8th grade teams play 18-20 games each per year in the Wesco Youth Basketball League against other select feeder programs. In addition, teams supplement games with outside tournaments on open weekends during the Wesco AAU season. The regular season ends in late February and concludes with the annual Wesco Tournament the first weekend in March.
Practices for all teams are held twice a week at local gyms in the Marysville School District. Player costs for the 5th through 8th grade teams normally run about $325 per year excluding outside tournaments. This includes gym rental fees, referee fees, AAU fees, league insurance fees, Wesco Tournament fees and uniform fees.
Marysville Select Basketball continually strives to keep player costs to a minimum. Considering the fact that many select sports programs charge as much as $1,500 to $2,000 a year for player fees, Marysville Select is a great value for the level of competition provided.
Most of our teams play in 2 to 5 outside tournaments during the basketball season. The majority of these tournaments are held in the Puget Sound area. However, in some cases teams might travel to other parts of the state depending on time and cost considerations. Each tournament runs about $20 to $25 per player.
Team rosters are typically comprised of 10 players and playing time is earned, not guaranteed. Performance, commitment, effort, attitude and ability are rewarded with extra playing time. The goal of Marysville Select Basketball is to play and develop everyone. But as a select program, there will be some variation in playing time among players.
Players on the 7th and 8th grade teams may also play for CedarCrest, Totem, or Marysville Middle School basketball teams. Please note that Marysville Select activities will NEVER conflict with Middle School basketball games or practices.
Although space for players is limited, Marysville Select Basketball encourages ALL players to keep playing and improving their game. Players who don’t fill a spot on a Marysville Select roster still have the opportunity to play basketball through local leagues or other select teams. Young basketball players grow and develop at different rates and at different age levels. For this reason our tryouts are held each year giving new kids the opportunity to win spots on our select teams.
Any eligible player interested in Marysville Select can Contact Us to add their name to our contact list. Correspondence should include the player's name, school and grade level. All eligible players MUST reside or attend school within the enrollment boundaries of Marysville Pilchuck or Marysville Getchell High Schools. | sports |

The rise of Stephen Curry from average NBA player to arguably the greatest basketball player in the world happened so quickly that it has led many to ask him, “how did this happen? How did you do it?”. In a recent ESPN video, Steph Curry reveals one of his secret weapons; floating!
A fascinating video where Curry talks about the benefits of floatation therapy, which for him included complete relaxation, and the ability to increase focus and plan for upcoming games.
Curry is just one of many professional athletes who have recently turned to floating to help give them a competitive edge. | sports |

The Northern Trust at Liberty National Golf Club, taking place August 6–11 in Jersey City, offers a Father’s Day gift that will lock in your status as dad’s favorite. Each competition-round ticket (Thursday–Sunday) purchased through June 21 comes with a chance to win a “Dream Foursome” experience at Liberty National. The winner will get to play on August 13—just two days after some of the world’s best players have walked the same fairways.
But even just a trip to watch the Northern Trust would be a win for dad (or any golf aficionado). In 2019, the PGA Tour contracted its playoff format from four tournaments to three, raised the purse for the FedEx Cup champion from $10 million to $15 million and doubled the bonus pool to $70 million, placing even more importance on the Northern Trust, the first of the three playoff events. A field of 125 golfers will compete; only 70 will move on to the second playoff, the BMW Championship. From there, 30 golfers will advance to the Tour Championship.
“This tournament will rival a Major,” says PGA tour senior vice president Julie Tyson, executive director of the Northern Trust. “We’ll have the top players playing at the peak of their season. Because it’s the first playoff, no one can sit it out. And the money has created a lot more pressure. We wanted this to be almost vomit-inducing when they tee it up.”
Along with defending champ Bryson DeChambeau, who won this tournament last summer at Ridgewood Country Club, fans can expect to see all of golf’s heavy hitters, including Tiger Woods, Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose. And they’ll watch these stars play on a course like no other: Situated along the Hudson River, the course is just 2,000 yards from the Statue of Liberty, and offers views of the Manhattan skyline and the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Liberty National’s compact parameters and brick-paved cart paths make for an easily walkable course and a tournament experience that is ideal for families. Children under 18 receive free entry all week when accompanied by a ticketed adult—grounds tickets are just $35 for practice rounds on Tuesday and Wednesday—and spectators can bring in their own food (in clear plastic bags). Concessions will include Jersey City institutions Pizza Vita and Torico Ice Cream, along with Shake Shack, Sticky’s Finger Joint and Luke’s Lobster. Visitors can also shop in stores like Nordstrom and Bonobos, or try out an on-site Top Golf simulator.
A highlight of the 7,370-yard course—designed by 1992 U.S. Open champion Tom Kite and prominent course architect Bob Cupp—is the 150-yard, par-3 No. 14, which boasts prime views of Lady Liberty. “As you think about the competition, 14 will be a deciding hole on the golf course,” Tyson says. “And it’s also beautiful. All along the right side is the Hudson River, and on the left is all sand.”
Other interesting holes include No. 6, a 538-yard par 5 that produced 22 eagles during the 2013 Barclays (which had the same course layout as the 2019 Northern Trust); and No. 9, which was the toughest hole of the 2013 tournament. Spectators who want to get off their feet can visit the 325-yard, par 4 No. 16, which features a shaded grandstand above the drivable green. A second shaded grandstand overlooks No. 17’s green and No. 18’s tee box. Fans can also watch golfers warm up on the driving range, then keep track of their favorite players’ scores and positions on the course with the PGA Tour app.
For the duration of the tournament, Uber will be allowed to drop off riders on-site. Free shuttles will also be provided from garages at Newport Center in Jersey City.
Grounds tickets for Thursday and Friday are $60; for Saturday and Sunday, $70.A weekly grounds pass is $195; higher-level hospitality experiences begin at $160. Active-military members and military veterans also are admitted free; veterans can receive two free tickets. For tickets, visit pgatour.com or call 844-868-7465. | sports |

George Kittle has been a vital member of a San Francisco 49ers offense that admittedly has loads of talent. They have exceptional players at all skill positions, but Kittle, being one of the best tight ends in football, is a key cog in the machine for them.
That makes life difficult for opposing defenses and pretty easy for Brock Purdy. Having Kittle as a safety valve and a player who can and will catch almost anything means the favored 49ers shouldn't have much trouble against a stout Steelers defense.
Fortunately for the San Francisco 49ers, the star tight end is expected to play today. The groin injury persists, but Kittle seems good to go and will be active and in the starting lineup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
The 49ers do have a lot of mouths to feed on offense. With Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey getting usage in the passing game alongside Kittle, there're a lot of players who will get the ball.
The Steelers defense, as mentioned earlier, is pretty good, featuring a lot of good players. Again, the 49ers also have a lot of skill position players, so there're a lot of players but just one football.

As this always coincides with school holidays I decided that there would be enough schools celebrating this week to warrant providing an overview of a range of games that will allow you to gamify your NAIDOC Week activities.
In case you missed last year’s article I created some Aboriginal and Torres Islander Maths and Movement activities and those can be found here. This year, I wanted to share some traditional games and how these can assist in building fundamental movement skills and an awareness of Australia’s rich history.
Based on the activities offered on the AUS Sport site this article looks at teaching children to play Yulunga or Traditional Indigenous Games from a range of Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
The 3 games that are outlined below are all inclusive, can be played by students of all ability levels and backgrounds and build resilience, strength and cooperation. They also develop Fundamental Movement Skills which are the building blocks of all sports, encourage team spirit and can be used to develop an understanding of how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people use games to teach important skills such as hand eye coordination, speed and strength.
The first game is called Apwerte meaning ‘stone’ in the language of the Eastern Arrerente People of central Australia.
It is a simple game where pairs of students work together to score as many points as possible. A point is scored every time a heavy stone (replaced these days with a cricket ball) is rolled between 2 markers. These markers could be natural items such as sticks or trees, plastic cones or just marks on the ground. Students stand an equal distance from either side of the markers and score a point each time the ball is rolled successfully through the markers without touching them. By standing on each side of the markers players do not need to retrieve the ball but rather it is rolled back to them by their partner when they take their turn.
This game assists children to develop hand eye coordination skills, underarm bowling direction and, as the ball is weighted, strength. Students are also expected to work with a partner and offer encouragement rather than criticise if the ball hits or completely misses the markers. Children can also be responsible for recording and keeping track of their score if a score keeper is not assigned.
The second game is known as Keentan which is ‘play’ in the Wik-Mungkan language from northern Queensland.
This is a keep-away game of catch-ball which allows students to work in teams of 4 to 8 to practice static jumping, sprint runs, passing and catching a ball. It is also known as ‘kangaroo-play’ by the Kalkadoon people as the action of players jumping up to catch the ball resembled the movements of a kangaroo. Historically the ball was made from possum, wallaby or kangaroo hide tied up with twine but today a basketball or soccer ball is used.
Like a number of other ballgames Keentan involves the ball being thrown from one player to another of the same team while players of the opposing team attempt to intercept it. The difference is the ball can only be intercepted if the player is off the ground – hence the name ‘kangaroo-play’. The jump need only be small, but the ball can only pass to the opposing team if caught while the defender is in the air.
No physical contact or interference is allowed between players. If the ball is thrown and not caught, but lands on the ground untouched, it passes to the opposing team. If it is dropped or knocked to the ground by a player attempting to catch it, the defending team retains possession.
Ball passes must be a minimum of 3 metres and the player in possession of the ball may run around the playing area for up to 5 metres. This player cannot be guarded (marked) or obstructed while he or she is attempting to pass the ball — the defender must be at least 1 metre from the ball thrower.
The third game, played in teams of 4 or 6 players, builds bat and ball skills and is known as Turlurlu in the Walmajarri language.
Similar to hockey this traditional ball-rolling and hitting game comes from the Great Sandy Desert of central Australia. Each player has a mukurru, or fighting stick, as a bat and a kamikami or rough ball cut from the thick root of the ngulyungu tree is used. These can be replaced with a hockey stick and cricket ball if preferred.
In teams, players line up 5 to 10 metres apart, behind their goal line, with a space of roughly half a meter between each team member. Players must hit or roll the ball over the dividing space and past the opposition’s goal line. The kamikami must stay close to the ground at all times and the end of the makurru or hockey stick must remain below waist height.
The opposing team must try to stop the ball before it crossed their goal line. The ball can be stopped with their stick but players must not use their feet to intercept the ball. When stopped the ball is returned to the opposite end and the defenders become the offenders as they try to get the kamikami over the goal line at the other end of the playing field. A point or kuyi is scored each time the ball passes over the opponent’s goal line. The team with the most points wins.
By playing these three games children will have the opportunity to practice eight of the 12 fundamental movement skills. They get to practice balancing, running, jumping, jumping, catching, throwing, leaping and kicking. They also get to explore games of Australia’s First Nations People, the reason these games are played and how these games relate to the games children play in school today. They can explore the mathematics involved in scoring, distance and angles. The language required to explain the game to others and the team tactics which can be developed by teams playing these games.
Even if you are not celebrating NAIDOC Week at your school why not play one of these games with your students. There are so many lessons that can be interwoven into these traditional indigenous games or Yulunga and so much fun to be had by you and your students. | sports |

During the winter months (generally Late December, January and February) we meet 1-2 times weekly (snow permitting) for ski sessions. We start with diagonal stride and progress to skating on skis. The club is coached by all volunteer adults who love cross-country skiing.
Club activities include dry land training/outdoor exercise sessions in the late fall and early winter. When the snow falls, we begin weekly ski sessions at Lake County Metropark’s Chapin Forest Reservation or other Lake County or Cuyahoga County Metroparks locations on weekend mornings, usually Saturdays. We hold Tuesday evening practices at Chapin Forest for our more advanced skiers as well. The highlight of the season is our ski camp held one weekend in February when we travel to participate in a race and ski together a bit further afield. Last year’s camp was held in Traverse City, Michigan. Ski camp is usually a family affair!
We have ski equipment available for season rental for all our youth ski club members. Registration and ski rental costs $120/season per person with a $200 family maximum charge.
We are not the only ones
Ohio Nordic Ski Club
Ohio Nordic Ski Club began in 1977, a few years after cross country skiing became
popular in the U. S. Bill Salmon of Chardon was the first president. In Fall and
Winter, the club had monthly meetings, often with a movie or speaker. The club
averaged 100 members. Club members skied together regularly and a ski trip was
organized each winter. We learned from watching the fluid technique of the
Finn’s from Fairport Harbor.
Club racing began at Punderson State Park around 1980, the beginning of a great
relationship that would last until 1996. Ski trail mileage went from 10K to 15K and
trails were widened for ski skating. The club purchased grooming equipment,
which was operated by club volunteers and park staff. In 1996, the club moved to
Chapin Ski Center.
A number of club members were regular racers in the Michigan Cup series on the
Ohio Nordics Racing Team. With encouragement and opportunities offered by
Ohio Nordics, many skiers, including myself, have been able to ski and race all
over the skiing world. When asked where we are from, the answer, “Ohio”, brings
a moment of astonishment.

OHIO’S CROSS COUNTRY OLYMPIAN, ELIZABETH FRASER YOUNGMAN
Yes, there is an Olympic cross country skier from Ohio. Betsy Fraser Youngman
skied at Calgary in 1988 and in Albertville, France in 1992. Betsy and her husband
Bob are active racers in World Masters and U. S. Masters. They live in Sun Valley. | sports |

- Following a summer of sporting success, there is a hope that more people will venture into amateur sporting activities moving forward.
- While sport can be a fun way to keep active and improve physical and mental health, there are associated injury risks.
- While individuals will need to assume a certain degree of risk by participating in sporting events, there are key steps that can be taken to reduce the risk of injury.
- Further information can be found here
Usheena Patel, Personal Injury Associate at Hodge Jones & Allen, has explained how the public can best protect themselves against an unexpected injury while playing sports.
Following a summer of sport, including the Commonwealth Games and the Lionesses European Championship victory, there is a hope that there will be an increase in the public emulating their heroes and looking to get out and participate in more sporting activities.
Sporting activities can be incredibly fun and help people to keep active and improve both physical and mental health. At the same time, sporting activities can carry certain risks which individuals need to consider before participating in sporting activities.
While individuals will need to assume a certain degree of risk by participating in sporting events, there are four key steps that the public should follow to reduce the risk of injury before embarking on a new sporting hobby.
- Follow the guidance
- Read any guidance and rules provided relating to the sporting or leisure activity before starting
- Read the small print
- Carefully read any waivers before you agree to sign the document and participate in the activity
- Pay attention
- Follow all training provided by any instructors or employees on site and carefully consider and look out for any warning signs at the premises/location of the sporting activity
- First aid awareness
- Ensure you are briefed and aware of any first aid assistance available
Whilst participation in most sporting and leisure activities go without any problems and can be a great deal of fun, unfortunately on some occasions, accidents can occur.
The essential elements for pursuing a personal injury claim apply equally to sports and leisure accident claims. The defendant must owe the claimant a duty of care; breach that duty and have contributed to an injury which can be connected to the breach. The potential defendants for sporting and leisure activities can vary from event organisers, owners of sports facilities or grounds, instructors and fellow participants, sports clubs and match officials.
If an injury does occur that is in relation to a breach of care, there are steps that the public can take to best protect themselves legally moving forward.
- Report the accident and ensure a copy of the accident report is provided to you to check, as certain defendants do not note accident circumstances correctly
- Request first aid if available and seek medical attention from your GP and Hospital
- Obtain the correct title of the defendant, their address and contact details as soon as possible. You may also wish to ask for details of their insurance company and policy number
- Note details of any witnesses while the events are fresh in the witness’s mind
- Ask for any CCTV footage to be preserved and take photographs of any potential safety issues which may have caused the accident before it is remedied

There are dozens of different machines, all kinds of terminology and people doing all kinds of different things. Trying to study bodybuilding is even more intimidating: there seems to be all sorts of conflicting advice all over the place.
This is a quick, simple and easy step by step guide to getting started with muscle building. Follow these steps and you’ll be able to craft your first workout in no time. Get started with this guide, then study bodybuilding further once you’re on the path.
Schedule 2 or 3 Days a Week to Work Out
Schedule 2 or 3 days to do your workouts. Make sure those days aren’t back to back.
When you’re just starting out, your muscles aren’t used to handling load and aren’t used to recovering from a workout. So don’t push yourself too hard.
If you go from zero to working out back-to-back days, you risk injury and your body also won’t be able to recover fast enough. So schedule just two or three days for the first month or two.
Start with a Warm-Up
Begin by warming your body up. If you’re warmed up, you reduce your chances of injury and increase your ability to perform. It’s much harder to go from zero to doing 15 tough reps than it is to do the reps once the blood is flowing.
There are two ways to warm up. You can do a bit of cardio, such as using the treadmill or stationary bike. Alternatively, you can just do a few reps of the exercises you plan on doing, except with very few weights.
Do 6 to 15 Reps of 2 to 4 Exercises
Pick between two to four exercises that work out either your upper body or your lower body.
Bench presses are great for working out the chest. The row machine is great for your back. For your triceps, try kickbacks. Use curls for biceps. Deadlifts are great for your quads.
If you have trouble picking exercises, just ask other people at your gym.
Ideally, you should put enough weights that you can do between 6 and 15 reps, no more.
Every week, add one or two reps to your workouts. If you’re doing too many reps (more than 15), add more weight.
The idea is to progressively improve slowly and steadily. Never try to jump ahead and don’t add weight or reps too quickly. Let your muscles build strength and adjust.
This is a simple, step by step formula for anyone to get started with weight training. Even if you’ve never picked up a weight in your life, these steps will be able to get you through the first few weeks of your workout. -end- | sports |

7 - Kevin Pietersen
We need to talk about the fact that approximately 263,000 articles are on the internet containing the phrase 'we need to talk about Kevin', referring specifically to Kevin Pietersen.
Actually, we don't need to talk about that. But the fact that so many articles about KP contain that reference to the book/movie We Need To Talk About Kevin, in which the titular Kevin is a psychopathic murderer who goes on a homicidal rampage, is perhaps suggestive of the impact Pietersen has had on English cricket.
Except, y'know, more funny because a) he's not fictional and b) he hasn't actually killed anybody (that we know of).
We begin at, oh, let's say the 2005 Ashes. KP had played some ODIs prior to that and, indeed, had briefly sported the appropriately showy average of 234.00. But the 2005 Ashes is where he announced himself on the cricket stage, with his final day counter-attack against Brett Lee securing England the Ashes and, more importantly, KP an MBE.
But KP had also announced himself as a funny cricketer. Before the series began, he was locked in a tussle with Graeme Thorpe for a single spot in the England batting line-up. KP got the nod by virtue of having an infinitely sillier hair-style, his infamous skunk haircut. When the selectors confirmed that Thorpe's hair sadly resembled no animal in particular, the England veteran was forced to give way to the up-and-coming comedy superstar.
From this literally wrong-headed start, a grand cricketing comedy career was born. One of his early nicknames was 'FIGJAM' ('fuck I'm good, just ask me'). It should have been more specifically 'FIGACJAA' ('fuck I'm good at comedy, just ask anybody'), but that just messes up the joke. And KP is not a man to mess up a joke.
There was Adelaide in 2006-07, where KP pulled off comedy moments in both his batting innings. In his first innings, he ran himself out for 158, presumably under the misapprehension that because this was his highest score (he'd reached it twice before), he wasn't permitted to score any more runs than that. Then, in the second innings, KP led one of the great team comic performances of all time when he was bowled behind his legs by Shane Warne - a feat that he'd claimed was impossible in almost all of his early biographies.
The 2006-07 Ashes series seemed to trigger KP's innate gifts for hilarious cricket antics. The following English summer against the West Indies, he had Dwayne Bravo knock his helmet off and onto his stumps to dismiss him hit wicket.
Then against India later that summer, he edged the ball behind, walked, and then unwalked once he saw the replay. Emboldened, he tried to pull off a similar trick when England toured Sri Lanka, again halting his departure from the ground after seeing the replay of a juggled catch between Chamara Silva and Kumar Sangakkara.
This was a man at the peak of his comedy powers.
Or so you'd think. Because he then went on to captain England.
Pietersen's captaincy was a glorious blazing shit-show of nonsensical controversy. With Michael Vaughan carelessly falling on his sword following the traditional South African tour o'culling, Pietersen became captain of both the Test and ODI sides for what turned out to be three and ten games respectively. In the process, he led England to a 0-5 loss in an ODI series against India, squabbled with the coach, had that squabbling leaked to the press, denied he had leaked the rift with the coach to the press, waited for the coach to be removed by the ECB, then resigned as captain, then claimed he hadn't meant to resign, but was told he had to.
I'll be honest. I'm not a hundred percent sure I've got the details of that right. But I take some solace in the fact that I don't think anybody involved could be sure of getting it all right either. All we know is that it was a thrilling ride, and a harbinger of things to come. Because for the rest of his career, most of KP's comedy would take place off the field.
Oh, sure, he'd have occasional grand on-field moments. Like the time in the 2010/11 Ashes where he was given not out on review, and then immediately confessed to Ponting that he'd hit it. A delicious piece of shit-stirring, precisely targeted.
But more and more it would be the dressing room squabbles with team mates that would be KP's comic focus. There were alleged text messages to South African players about how much he disliked his captain and coach. This triggered wide condemnation, an explanation via YouTube, an axing and, eventually, a reintegration into the side.
There was also the 'KP Genius' parody Twitter account, which KP believed was run by his team mates, or, at the very least, a mate of Stuart Broad's.
All of the dressing room nonsense came to a head during the 2013/14 Ashes tour. With his side thrashed 0-5 in the Tests, a now profoundly deaf KP was accused of the heinous crimes of whistling and looking out of windows and shown the ECB door (presumably because he'd already seen the window).
He was unselected for England's next tour, triggering an endless series of think-pieces about the man and what should be done about him, almost all of which began with the phrase 'We need to talk about Kevin'.
Which brings us just about full circle. There have been smaller comic bits in T20 tournaments from KP since then, of course. But like 70 year old Pythons creakily (dead) parroting their classic sketches on stage, it's not quite the same.
Kevin Pietersen ended his career as arguably the best batsman in his side, but sacked because nobody in that side liked him. Along the way, he was a constant source of larger-than-life absurdity. And for that reason, he is the seventh funniest cricketer of all time.
He'll bat at three in our Funniest Cricketer's First XI. Right up until the moment he's controversially sacked. | sports |

- By:Trade Irish
Single-seat pedal kayaks offer an exceptional and unique kayaking experience that sets them apart from traditional paddle kayaks. Here are several reasons why single-seat pedal kayaks are your best choice:
1. Hands-Free Operation: The standout feature of single-seat pedal kayaks is their hands-free operation. Instead of using a paddle, you can propel and maneuver the kayak using a pedal system. This allows you to have both hands free for fishing, photography, or simply enjoying the scenery. The pedal system is typically operated with your feet, providing a smooth and efficient way to navigate the water.
2. Increased Speed and Efficiency: Paddling a kayak offers greater speed and efficiency compared to paddling. The pedal drive system, often featuring fins or propellers, generates forward propulsion with each pedal stroke, allowing you to cover more distance with less effort. This increased speed and efficiency make single-seat pedal kayaks an excellent choice for longer trips or exploring larger bodies of water.
3. Improved Maneuverability: Pedal kayaks offer enhanced maneuverability, allowing you to make precise turns and navigate tight spots with ease. By simply adjusting the pedals, you can control the direction of the kayak, making it highly responsive to your movements. This maneuverability is particularly beneficial when navigating around obstacles or in narrow waterways.
4. Hands-Free Fishing: If you're an angler, single-seat pedal kayaks are an ideal choice for fishing. The hands-free operation allows you to focus on your fishing gear, cast your line, and reel in fish without the need to constantly paddle. With the pedal drive system, you can effortlessly position yourself in prime fishing spots, stay on target, and maintain stability while landing your catch.
5. Comfort and Ergonomics: Single-seat pedal kayaks are designed with comfort and ergonomics in mind. They typically feature adjustable seats with ample cushioning and back support, ensuring a comfortable paddling experience even during long hours on the water. The pedal system is designed to promote a natural and ergonomic pedaling motion, reducing strain and fatigue on your legs and back.
6. Stability and Balance: Pedal kayaks often have a wider hull design, providing increased stability and balance on the water. This stability is beneficial for beginners or those who prefer a secure and stable platform. It allows for confident maneuvering, standing up for casting or sightseeing, and stability in choppy or windy conditions.
7. Versatility and Customization: Single-seat pedal kayaks offer versatility and customization options to suit your specific needs. Many models are designed with additional features such as built-in rod holders, storage compartments, mounting points for accessories, and comfortable seating adjustments. This versatility allows you to tailor your kayak to your preferred activities and maximize your enjoyment on the water.
In summary, single-seat pedal kayaks offer a hands-free, efficient, and enjoyable kayaking experience. With their increased speed, maneuverability, comfort, and versatility, they are a top choice for those seeking a unique and enhanced kayaking adventure. Explore the waterways with ease, fish with convenience, and enjoy the freedom of hands-free operation with a single-seat pedal kayak. | sports |

One of the fundamental ethical principles in sports betting is knowing when to quit. It is easy to get caught up in the excitement and anticipation of a match, hoping for that one big win. However, responsible betting means setting limits and adhering to them. This begins with establishing a clear budget for your betting activities and sticking to it. Setting aside an amount of money that you can afford to lose is crucial to prevent financial hardship or addiction. Betting more than you can afford not only harms your financial stability but also your emotional well-being. Furthermore, recognizing when to quit involves knowing your own betting patterns and understanding the signs of problematic behavior. It is vital to be honest with yourself about your motivations for betting. Are you betting to enjoy the sport and add excitement to the game, or are you driven purely by the desire to make money?
If it is the latter, it is essential to reevaluate your reasons for betting and consider seeking help if you believe you may have developed a gambling problem. Recognizing the point at which betting becomes compulsive or is negatively impacting your life is crucial in maintaining your ethical stance. Another ethical aspect of soccer betting is to maintain the integrity of the sport. Match-fixing and insider betting can be detrimental to the game, and participating in such activities is not only unethical but often illegal. Betting with knowledge of inside information or attempting to manipulate the outcome of a match undermines the fairness and integrity of soccer as sport. Such actions can lead to severe consequences, including criminal charges, bans from betting websites, and damage to the reputation of soccer itself. Additionally, responsible soccer betting entails avoiding emotional decisions. Placing bets based on personal biases, favorite teams, or players can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive and irrational betting.
To maintain ethical standards, it is important to conduct thorough research, analyze statistics, and consider all available information before placing a bet refer https://apkjudibola.com/. By making informed and rational decisions, you not only increase your chances of success but also contribute to fair and ethical betting practices. In conclusion, soccer betting ethics require individuals to know when to quit, set clear limits, and recognize problematic behavior. It is essential to bet responsibly, not just for the sake of your financial stability but also to protect the integrity of the sport. Betting should enhance your enjoyment of soccer rather than jeopardize your well-being or the fairness of the game. By adhering to these ethical principles, you can participate in soccer betting as a responsible and conscientious enthusiast while avoiding the pitfalls of addiction and unethical behavior. | sports |

Phone: (916) 454-6677
To help female athletes who play competitive basketball, volleyball or soccer prevent Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries to their knees, orthopaedic surgeon David Coward, M.D., created the Sutter Sports Enhancement Program.
According to Dr. Coward, more young women are playing sports and therefore more are experiencing this painful injury that can keep them sidelined for an entire season. One in every 100 female athletes at the high school level is at risk for ACL injury each year. The risk is one in 10 female athletes at the college level.
Most injuries to this ligament are non-contact, meaning the athlete makes a cut or comes down from a jump and the ligament snaps. This injury is considered one of the biggest health and safety concerns in sports. However, there are several elements that can help female athletes decrease their risk factors for this type of knee injury.
The Sutter Sports Enhancement Program provides these elements through a series of exercises designed to help the player avoid vulnerable positions, increase flexibility and also increase strength. As female athletes carry out the elements to this plan, they will learn how to prevent injuries and enhance their athletic performances.The program is available, free of charge, on VHS or DVD by clicking here. | sports |

American football is a sport that demands a delicate equilibrium between physical prowess and mental resilience. In the pursuit of victory, players navigate the intricate interplay between body and mind, underscoring the importance of wellness in a sport that pushes both physical and mental boundaries.
The physical demands of American football are unmistakable.
The collisions, tackles, and exertion on the field require players to be in peak physical condition. Strength, speed, and endurance are prerequisites for success, and the toll on the body is undeniable. However, the quest for wellness in football extends beyond the weight room and training field—it encompasses a holistic approach that addresses both the physical and mental well-being of athletes.
The sport’s emphasis on physicality places a premium on injury prevention and rehabilitation. Advances in sports medicine and training techniques have revolutionized the way players prepare and recover. From state-of-the-art training facilities to specialized recovery programs, teams invest significant resources to ensure that players can withstand the rigors of a grueling season. The symbiotic relationship between physical wellness and performance is evident, as players who prioritize their bodies often find themselves at the top of their game.
Yet, American football is not just a test of physical prowess.
It is a battlefield for the mind. The mental fortitude required to navigate the complexities of the game is unparalleled. From split-second decision-making on the field to the psychological resilience needed to bounce back from setbacks, football demands a sharp and focused mind. The intersection of physical and mental wellness becomes even more pronounced as athletes face the pressures of competition, media scrutiny, and the relentless pursuit of perfection.
The toll on mental health in football has become an increasingly recognized aspect of the game. The relentless schedule, high stakes, and public scrutiny can contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression among players. The importance of mental health awareness and support systems within the football community has gained prominence, with teams and leagues implementing programs to address the unique challenges faced by athletes.
In recent years, players have become vocal advocates for mental health awareness, shattering the stigma surrounding psychological struggles. By sharing their own experiences, athletes have ignited a broader conversation about the importance of mental well-being in sports. The acknowledgment that mental health is as crucial as physical health represents a significant shift in the culture of American football, fostering an environment where athletes feel empowered to prioritize their holistic well-being.
In conclusion, the intricate dance between physical and mental wellness in American football highlights the sport’s multifaceted nature. As players strive for excellence on the field, the pursuit of wellness becomes a journey of self-discovery, resilience, and balance. American football, at its core, is a microcosm of life’s challenges, where success is not only measured in touchdowns but also in the ability to navigate the delicate equilibrium between body and mind. As fans recognize the demanding yet inspiring journey of physical and mental wellness in American football, there’s no better way to experience the passion, resilience, and balance of the sport than by securing their Chiefs 2024 tickets, granting them access to the electrifying atmosphere and thrilling competition on the field. | sports |

Can Chelsea keep up their unbeaten record in the Premier League? Another of the unbeaten sides, Manchester City, take on West Ham in a game you’d expect them to win on paper. Liverpool have a potentially tricky game away at Watford.
Brighton v Leicester (Saturday, 15:00)
This will be a tough away trip for a Leicester side who are hoping to have Harry Maguire and James Maddison back from knee injuries. Brighton are usually difficult to break down at home, so the visitors’ gameplan will be to counter with the pacey Jamie Vardy and Demarai Gray.
Everton v Cardiff (Saturday, 15:00)
The rejuvenated Richarlison scored for Brazil in midweek and he will be one of the key players to watch when Everton host Cardiff. Neil Warnock’s visitors have improved lately but they would be happy to leave Merseyside with a point.
Fulham v Southampton (Saturday, 15:00)
Expect plenty of changes as Claudio Ranieri takes charge of Fulham for the first time. The bottom-of-the-table hosts have been reliant on Aleksandar Mitrovic for goals this season, while out-of-form Southampton have scored just eight goals in 12 games – the second-worst record in the league.
Manchester United v Crystal Palace (Saturday, 15:00)
Manchester United desperately need to get back on track after falling 12 points behind City. This will not be an easy game, though, with Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace notoriously difficult to break down against the bigger clubs.
Watford v Liverpool (Saturday, 15:00)
This has the potential to be one of the best games of the weekend. Watford have maintained an attacking approach against the ‘Big Six’ sides this season, while Liverpool play every match to win. Expect plenty of goals at Vicarage Road.
West Ham v Manchester City (Saturday, 15:00)
On their day, West Ham can upset anyone in the league, but will one of those days come against unbeaten Manchester City? Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling & Co. have been flying this season and will be looking to build on their Manchester derby win from before the international break.
Tottenham v Chelsea (Saturday, 17:30)
Some ‘Big Six’ meetings this season have been incredible, while others have been underwhelming. Given the styles that these teams have, it’s safe to assume that they will both be going all out for the three points. Expect an entertaining game with Harry Kane and Eden Hazard the key men to watch.
Bournemouth v Arsenal (Sunday, 13:30)
Arsenal remain unbeaten since August but they have now drawn three league games in a row. As for Bournemouth, they have lost their last two games but they are still flying high in sixth after a superb start. If Callum Wilson, Ryan Fraser & Co. are on form, there could be an upset.
Wolves v Huddersfield (Sunday, 16:00)
Wolves and Huddersfield have scored a combined 18 goals in their 24 league games this season, so it’s safe to assume that this will be a low-scoring affair. Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho are likely to control the game in midfield for the hosts.
Burnley v Newcastle (Monday, 20:00)
This is unlikely to be an entertaining match – Burnley and Newcastle are known for grinding out results by the odd goal – but it should tell us a lot about which team is most likely to be in and around the drop zone over Christmas. | sports |

Proper use of the stick is the entry point for other types of hand held martial art tools.
The 2 handed curved wooden sword (bokken) is also used for basic training.
Medicine balls of various size and weights will be used to develop coordination and stamina. There is also an introductory stretching routine that accompanies each class.
Martial Arts Weaponry may be used as a complement or supplement to Aikido I and II. This class may be repeated since topics vary and require dedicated effort for mastery.
By the end of the semester students will have knowledge, experience and/or ability in one or more of the following areas:
- Principles of safe practice, injury prevention, and right-mindedness in use of martial arts weapons
- Several fundamental movements with the martial art stick and/or wooden sword
- Additional advanced movement sets as warranted by the student’s acquisition of the fundamentals.
- A basic repertoire of medicine ball or other stretch/flex/mind-body conditioning movements | sports |

Phil is a graduate of East Richland High School in Olney, IL. Playing under Newburgh, IN native Andy Julian, Britton lettered 3 of his 4 years at East Richland High school, setting a single season home run record his senior year with 12. After graduating in 2003, Britton attended Olney Central Community College as a catcher under NJCAA Hall Of Fame coach Dennis Conley where he led all of NJCAA in RBI’s with 89. Was 29th with a batting average of .426 and 10th in homeruns with 15. Britton was drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 36th round in 2004, was named GRAC freshman of the year, and earned Second team NJCAA All-America honors. Following his 2004 freshman season, in the fall of ‘04, Britton signed a national letter of intent to play at the University of Kentucky. Britton finished his sophomore year at OCC 30th in NJCAA in batting average hitting .430 and 50th in homeruns with 10, earning First Team NJCAA honors. All- Region 24 team honors and All-Region tournament team honors followed both 2004 and 2005 seasons.
After completing two years of JUCO baseball at Olney Central College, Britton elected to decline the offer to the play at the University of Kentucky, and join the Atlanta Braves Professional Baseball Organization. Phil was a member of the Atlanta Braves organization from 2005 -2009, playing in the Gulf coast league(R), Appalachian league (short season A), South Atlantic League (-A), Hawaii Winter Baseball League (Major league Prospects league), Carolina League (+A), Grapefruit League (MLB) Southern League (AA) Eastern League (AA) International League (AAA) with the majority of his time being spent at the AA level. In 2010, he spent the year with the Baltimore Orioles organization where he played at the A, AA, and AAA levels. 2011 was his last year playing professional baseball, spending the first half of the season playing in the American Association with the Fargo-Moorhead Red hawks, and finishing his career with Manager Andy McCauley and the Evansville Otters of the Frontier League.
Following his playing career, Phil began coaching with the 2016 Frontier League Champion Evansville Otters, and in 2012 opened Britton’s Bullpen Inc., a baseball/softball training facility in his hometown of Olney, IL. Britton’s Bullpen is the indoor training facility to the OCC Baseball and Softball teams, as well as local youth baseball and softball teams. Phil now focuses on instructing baseball and softball, and manages youth baseball traveling teams, working to help amateur players and parents not only showcase their ability, but also help them understand the processes of what it takes to advance in the game.
Guest Instructor, MLB Pitcher Jerad Eickhoff
“Britton’s Bullpen instruction and overall knowledge of the game of baseball is second to none. With nearly 10 years of professional experience, Phil Britton knows exactly what’s needed to elevate the game of anyone focused and driven enough to learn and put in the work. Young ball players of all ages have an opportunity to pick the brain of a guy who’s rubbed shoulders with some of the best in the game. Not to mention, the facilities alone are the best in the area. If I had the chance as a kid to sharpen my skills at Britton’s Bullpen, I know I’d be setting myself up for success.” -Jerad Eickhoff | sports |

You can compete in as many as all ten events or as few as one. The Combine is designed for anyone who wants to participate!
(Please Note: Athlete Registration is now closed for the 2023 Trinity Combine. We encourage you to register as a volunteer or spectator to cheer on the competitors!)
One Event Rockstar
The person who loves the cause and wants to challenge their own expectations of themselves in a single event! Don’t want to go at this alone? Grab a few friends and create a team!
Not quite ready for the 10-event gauntlet? Challenge yourself to compete in at least three events!
Trinity Combine Individual Elite
You've trained and are physically ready to compete in all ten events and see how you stack up against other elites. The physical, as well as mental, challenges are real. Can you maintain stamina and composure to make it through all 10 events, and challenge for the individual title in your division?
Trinity Combine Team
Do you have a few friends willing to join you for a good cause to fundraise and compete for the team trophy? Create a team and have three friends, co-workers, or family members register and join your team to see if you all have what it takes to be the top performing team across 11 events (fundraising is the 11th event!). Trinity Combine teams are required to have a minimum of two competitors and can be a maximum of four competitors.
**Competitors are able to register and compete either as individuals, or as members of a 2-4 person team. Team scores are calculated as the top score per team, per event. Every team member need not compete in all 10 events, meaning strategy and playing to individual strengths are important to consider. Divisions are further divided by gender and masters (40 and older) categories.
Each event is administered and scored by trained volunteer judges. You can learn more about each event at the Events Rules page. | sports |

CTi® Custom Ligament Knee Brace
CTi has set the standard for truly custom ligament bracing for more than 20 years.
Now, the CTi line has been expanded to include 3 models! From high to low impact/activity needs, CTi has it covered!
We've redesigned this classic with a host of new improvements like proprietary Sensil® padding that eliminates migration, a flexible lower medial cuff for greater protection against rotational forces and skin-friendly SensEdge overmolding to avoid pressure points.
Find out why CTi knee braces are demanded by top athletes and respected by leading physicians around the world.
Indications & Usage
- ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL, rotary and combined instabilities
- For High-End Use
For high levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Pro Sport model. Additional carbon fiber and a thicker core structure is used in the frame to provide maximum support and protection against extreme contact.
- For Moderate to High-End Use
For moderate to high impact levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Standard model. Carbon composite, rigid frame construction using a thin core structure provides excellent support and protection against moderate to high levels of impact in a lighter design than the CTi Pro Sport.
- For Low-End Use
For low levels of impact, we recommend the CTi Vapor model, the lightest CTi model yet. Reduced carbon fiber using a thin core structure provides excellent support and protection against any low to moderate levels of impact.
Product Highlights (pictured above from left to right)
- Anatomically-correct Accutrac™ hinges with extension stops
- Proprietary Sensil® padding eliminates migration
- Flexible lower medial cuff provides increased protection against rotational forces and is breathable for added comfort
- Skin-friendly SensEdge overmolding on buckles and lower cuff improves comfort and eliminates pressure points
Other Features & Benefits
- 1-Year Fit Guarantee
- Total Support System™ for ACL, MCL, LCL, PCL, rotary and combined instabilities
- Interior buckles for a more streamlined, lower profile
- Custom-fabricated to each patient's unique measurements

- Non-corrosive materials, ideal for water sports
With the additon of the new Vapor model for low impact the CTi line has been expanded to cover all impact/activity levels:
- Vapor (less graphite for lower contact needs)
- Pro Sport (additional graphite for highest contact needs)

About the Author
Coach David L. Rockwood has been coaching Track and Field and Cross-Country since 1996, specializing in training the sprints, jumps, relays, and distance runners. In that time he has been a part of many successful teams including six top 4 finishes in the Utah State Championships (two State Championship teams, two State Runners-up teams, and two 4th place teams). Rockwood is a certified Level 1 coach through USA Track & Field and is certified through the American Sport Education Program. Rockwood is also one of the All-Star coaches for Utah high school track & field. His responsibilities include helping to select, preparing, and coaching high school track athletes to represent Utah in the prestigious Great Southwest Track & Field Classic.
As a coach, Rockwood is known for being enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and goal oriented. He considers himself to be a student of the sport and therefore is always trying to apply new techniques into his program. Much of his coaching success is due to his knowledge of the sport and the sport psychology principles that he teaches to his athletes.
Coach Rockwood has a B.S. in Psychology from Brigham Young University (2003) and an M.Ed. in Instructional Design & Educational Technology (Educational Psychology) from the University of Utah (2008). He teaches Psychology, Philosophy, and Sport Psychology at Payson High School, Utah, where he has been cited multiple times in Who's Who Among America's Teachers, and nominated for Payson High's Teacher of the Year and Crystal Apple awards. He has also presented some of his innovative teaching ideas at the UTOPSS (Utah Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools) annual conference and the UCET (Utah Coalition for Educational Technology) conference.
When he began teaching Sport Psychology, he realized there were no textbooks or teacher resources for a high school level course. Subsequently, he created a curriculum from scratch and built a strong Sport Psychology program. After teaching and tweaking the course for several years, he decided it was time to write this book. It is his hope that this resource will advance the teaching of sport psychology in high schools.
He is married to April and they have two beautiful daughters. Rockwood enjoys reading, writing, running, movies, rock climbing, canyoneering, and practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu. | sports |

This puts Uruguay in the semifinals of a FIFA World Cup for the first time in 40 years.
As a way of supporting a team that has made us all proud, I would like to share two of the most popular soccer-related songs that have ever been written and recorded by Uruguayan artists. The first is “Cuando Juega Uruguay” [When Uruguay Plays] by Jaime Roos. The other is “Cielo De Un Solo Color” [Single-colored Sky] by No Te Va Gustar. That song is not really about soccer, but it has become synonymous with the sport here.
Now we are squaring up against Holland on Tuesday. I frankly believe that after today’s show of stamina and guts everything is possible.

The Miesville Mudhens have won 17 straight games and still are not the No. 1 team in Class B. How's that again?! Well, the Moorhead Brewers have but one blemish on the season -- even if it was against a Class C team, the Raymond Rockets (no disrespect to their ace pitcher, Alex Lotthammer). That said, the vote was close:
AARON OLSON – Shakopee
1. Moorhead Brewers (20-1) Would be undefeated if didn’t run into Raymond’s stud pitcher
2. Cold Spring Springers (23-6) Won Coors Light Classic and their own tourney the next weekend!
3. Miesville Mudhens (21-3) Great run lately
4. Blaine Fusion (27-7) Won 10 straight and on top of Metro Minny
5. Shakopee Indians (15-8) On top of Section 3. Four losses have come during tourneys
6. Chaska Cubs (15-9) Six wins in row including Chanhassen, St. Louis Park and Victoria twice!
7. Dundas Dukes (19-5) Couple tough losses but will rebound
8. Elko Express (25-9) Just missed the Coors Light Championship in three-way tie in pool play, which included beating Cold Spring
9. Forest Lake Brewers (17-7) 2nd in Metro Minny
10. Chanhassen Red Birds (15-8) 5-3 in Section 3, right in the thick of it
JAMIE HEIPEL – Blaine
1 - Moorhead (20-1) playing outstanding ball all season, no room to move them anyplace lower just because they suffered first loss.
2 – Miesville (21-3) 17-game win streak with big game versus Shakopee Tuesday night, a huge game in Section play.
3 – Blaine (27-7) have some big wins as of late, including 13 in a row and 16 of last 17. Beat a very good Forest Lake team on the road. 7-1 since last poll.
4 – Cold Spring (22 – 6) Some impressive wins in tournaments including the championship at the Coors Light Invitational, even though they lost a game.
5 – Dundas (19 – 7) playing good ball but have cooled down and dropped some key Section games.
6 – Elko (25 – 9) Just beat Springers in the Coors Light Invitational; very good all-around team.
7 – Shakopee (15 -8) dropping a bit with some recent losses since last poll. Looking to rebound with some tough Section games remaining.
8 – Forest Lake (17 -7) Lost a matchup at home with Blaine, but this team is really good and will be a tough out for anyone come State.
9 – Chaska (17-8) Hitting stride with a very tough game versus Shakopee; streaking towards the finish, which all good teams strive for.
10 – Rochester (11 -8) Last 11 games they have wins in eight of them, some very impressive.
Just Missed: St. Cloud Beaudreaus , Burnsville
ERIC KRAUSHAR – Chaska/Chanhassen
1. Miesville Mudhens (21-3) - reasons to move the Mudhens up to No. 1? SEVENTEEN straight wins. Who have they beat so far in July? Green Isle, Dundas, St. Paul Capitals, Cannon Falls, and Eagan – to name a few. 8-1 vs Region 1B teams.
2. Moorhead Brewers (21-1) - suffered its first loss to Raymond in the Coors Light Classic, but rebounded by beating Blue Earth and Shakopee in a 1-0 contest.
3. Blaine Fusion (26-7) - the class of the Metro Minny beat Forest Lake 7-1 on July 15 and are 10-1 in league play, having won TWELVE straight games and SIXTEEN of the last 17.
4. Chaska Cubs (17-8) - another team on an absolute roll; 6-0 in July. Victories over Region 3B opponents (Victoria 2x, Prior Lake and Chanhassen) as well as a decision over Class A No. 1 St. Louis Park.
5. Cold Spring Springers (23-6) - winners of 11 of the last 12 games, and 9-1 in July. Only loss came to Elko in Coors Light Classic, a tournament the Springers won with a 3-1 record.
6. Dundas Dukes (19-7) - suffered losses to Miesville and Hampton of late, now 9-5 in the CCVL. Big wins in May versus Elko and Blaine helps keep them in the middle of the rankings.
7. Elko Express (25-9) - have won 10 of the last 12 games, going 2-1 at Coors Light Classic. Lost to Jordan by a run before defeating Cold Spring and Hampton.
8. Shakopee Indians (15-8) - went 1-2 at Coors Light Classic, but rebounded afterward with wins over Coon Rapids and Prior Lake. Played Moorhead very tough, falling 1-0.
9. Chanhassen Red Birds (16-10) - losses to Victoria and Chaska have moved the Red Birds into the third spot in Region 3B. Four straight seeding games over next eight days; big stretch ahead.
10. Forest Lake (17-7) - losses to Coon Rapids and Blaine move them down the pecking order. Split with Duluth in a pair of one-run games on Sunday.
MATT MAREK – Champlin
1. Moorhead (21-1) – What can I say that hasn’t already been said? They have a team batting average of (about) .342, a team ERA of 1.96. You’re probably going to have to be near-perfect to beat the Brewers this year.
2. Miesville (21-3) – 17 consecutive wins. They are essentially 1B, with a case to be made for 1A, at this point.
3. Cold Spring (23-6-1) – Six wins in a row, and 12 out of their last 13 with nearly all of those wins being against quality opponents.
4. Blaine (27-7) – It’s officially turned into the ‘heat check’ poll. Blaine is also heating up, winning 13 straight, with six of those coming by one run. Finding a way to win close games should bode well for the Fusion!
5. Dundas (19-7) – A couple of minor stumbles as of late, but still business as usual. Tough to fault a team for losses to Miesville and Hampton, but with the red-hot stretches of the four aforementioned, it’s tough not to move those guys up.
6. Elko (25-9) – Had a pair of tough losses to #1 St. Louis Park, and another to Jordan at the Coors Light Classic. Two big games with Miesville and Dundas await the Express.
7. Chaska (17-8) – The top three teams in the RVL are very tightly bunched, but the Cubs come out on top in my poll this week after five straight wins following the holiday break, highlighted by an 8-4 win over St. Louis Park on Friday.
8. Forest Lake (17-7) – Had a couple of stumbles to Coon Rapids, Duluth and Blaine recently. They still hold a three-game lead on the VERY important #1 seed in Section 2, but have tough games left with Brooklyn Park (two) and Blaine.
9. Shakopee (15-8) – Shakopee holds a narrow lead in Section 3, but gets overtaken this week in my poll by Chaska’s recent stretch.
10. Chanhassen (16-10) – Not sure what their playoff roster will look like, but there is definitely a lot of young talent on this squad. 2-3 record since July 4break.
Northfield (15-8) – Reports say they can stick it pretty well. They beat Miesville early in the year, and are probably a signature win away from sneaking into the 10-spot.
Rochester (11-8) – Like Jamie mentioned, heating up with wins over the Minneapolis Angels (Park National Champs) and a 17-7 drubbing of Eagan.
KELLY McMONAGLE – Moorhead
1. Miesville - on a tear the last three weeks and leaders of Section 1B; tough stretch on the horizon with St. Louis Park, Elko, Hampton, and Lyon's Pub
2. Moorhead - shut out by Raymond in the Coors Light Classic, but came back with wins over Blue Earth and Shakopee
3. Blaine - ripped off 13 straight W's with a decisive win over Forest Lake last week; leading the Metro Minny with an 11-1 mark
4. Cold Spring - winners of the Coors Light Classic and Nic Bell Classic in back-to-back weekends, losing only to Elko
5. Dundas - wins over New Market and Rochester with losses to Hampton and Miesville; big game with Elko upcoming on Sunday
6. Elko - sitting in 2nd place in 1B standings behind Miesville; won two of three at the Coors Light Classic with a close victory over Cold Spring; dates with Miesville and Dundas this weekend
7. Forest Lake - Three losses in last five, with losses to Coon Rapids and Blaine, has them in 2nd place in the Metro Minny; split with Duluth last weekend
8. Chaska - winners of seven consecutive, including Chanhassen and St. Louis Park; tough schedule this week with Shakopee, Minnetonka, and Chanhassen
9. Shakopee - Three Section games this week will test them and should leave a more clear picture in 3B when the dust settles
10. Chanhassen - still in the mix in the 3B log jam with dates against Victoria, Shakopee, and Chaska this week
Mention: Rochester and St. Cloud
CLASS B RANKINGS (as of July 19):
1. Moorhead Brewers (48 points)

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to weight loss, incorporating regular exercise into your routine can play a crucial role in achieving your goals. In this article, we will explore some of the best exercises for weight loss and how they can help you on your fitness journey. For additional free weight loss information and motivation, you can visit MotivateTheWeight.com.
1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
High-intensity interval training, or HIIT, is an effective exercise method that combines short bursts of intense exercise with brief recovery periods. This type of workout helps to burn calories and fat more efficiently, boosting your metabolism and promoting weight loss. HIIT exercises can include activities like sprinting, cycling, jumping jacks, burpees, and kettlebell swings. The intensity and duration of the intervals can be adjusted based on your fitness level.
2. Strength Training
Incorporating strength training exercises into your routine is crucial for weight loss. Building lean muscle mass helps to increase your metabolic rate, allowing you to burn more calories even at rest. Strength training exercises include weightlifting, bodyweight exercises, resistance band workouts, and exercises using gym equipment. Focus on compound exercises that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, such as squats, deadlifts, push-ups, and lunges.
3. Cardiovascular Exercises
Cardiovascular exercises, also known as aerobic exercises, are excellent for burning calories and improving cardiovascular health. Activities such as running, jogging, brisk walking, swimming, cycling, and dancing can get your heart rate up and help you torch calories. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise for optimal weight loss benefits.
4. Circuit Training
Circuit training involves moving through a series of exercises with little to no rest in between. This type of workout combines cardiovascular exercises with strength training, providing a comprehensive full-body workout. Circuit training not only helps to burn calories but also improves muscular endurance and overall fitness. You can create your own circuit by choosing exercises like jumping rope, push-ups, mountain climbers, planks, and kettlebell swings.
5. Yoga and Pilates
While not typically associated with intense calorie burning, yoga and Pilates can still contribute to weight loss and overall fitness. These practices focus on strength, flexibility, and balance, while also promoting mindfulness and stress reduction. Regular yoga or Pilates sessions can help improve body composition, increase muscle tone, and support overall well-being.
Incorporating a combination of high-intensity interval training, strength training, cardiovascular exercises, circuit training, and mindful practices like yoga or Pilates can help you achieve your weight loss goals. Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

Stay committed, stay consistent, and enjoy the benefits of an active and healthy lifestyle.

I decided to learn more and went for a bachelor’s degree, followed by a master’s degree in sports science which gave me a solid foundation. Over the years I’ve practiced many different sports and disciplines, including competitive cheerleading, body building, weight lifting, crossfit and more. When I stepped into Firelight Yoga for my first yoga class, I fell in love with the practice and the community. Firelight has become my second home and I find joy in welcoming our students and helping them at the desk and in the yoga room. As a teacher I love to bring a smile and a feeling of accomplishment to everyone in my class. Be ready to push yourself and work hard. | sports |

Fishing the Flathead Valley
Last Saturday (4-5-2014) the captains from Captain Mikes’s Fish~N~Fun gave a fishing seminar at Cabela’s in Kalispell. Four of us were on hand to talk about how to make the most of fishing the Flathead Valley lakes and rivers.
Yours truly talked about how to fish the north end of Flathead Lake. We talked about trolling using downriggers and if you will watch the video below you’ll learn some great fishing secrets and some tips you can use to fill your cooler with fresh fish. Captain Shawn followed my presentation and talked about fishing and jigging the south end of Flathead lake.
Captain Rod Rogers gave us the inside tips for fishing Lake Koocanusa. He discussed the use of ‘planer boards’ and how to lure those skittish Rainbows and other fish to your bait. Captain Mike talked about other local lakes and shared some great fishing tips.
We will be holding another fishing seminar at Cabela’s in a few weeks so be sure to subscribe to this blog so that you don’t miss anything. | sports |

CDGS is chartered through Little League Illinois District 13 which allows diversity in the competition and ballparks visited. This does require some travel to the parks within the district and locations can be found here.
The benefit of Little League occurs when the players:
(1) Experience the different park environments from fields with lights, clay, varying dugout configurations, etc. to field that have been in existence from 2 to more than 35 years
(2) Experience different league cultures and players, but also learn how to respect those differences and play with sportswomanship
(3) Get to enjoy the butterflies on the way to the park and the anticipation of the new experiences to come.
Illinois District 13 is the largest District in Illinois with 10 Chartered Softball Leagues. See map here.
Note: Little League charters can have both baseball/softball or just one or the other. Crystal Lake, Hanover Park and Woodstock typically do not have softball teams, so travel to those cities generally does not occur.

Coach Warren Gatland said: Sam is a great player, an outstanding leader and a winning Lions captain.

He went on to pick up triathlon during his college days in Raffles Junior College. Today, he is one of Singapore’s fastest marathon runner (A National Record Holder, SEA Games Gold Medalist and 2x Singapore Marathon Local champion).
Despite his busy schedule in medical school, he decided to concentrate on running as he feels that it is an extremely time efficient sport. He said, “A typical run starts from your own doorstep and ends when you finish at your doorstep. No time is wasted traveling.”
His success today is not without failure.
“I failed to qualify for the 2005 SEA Games in triathlon when I finished 3rd in the trials. Only the first 2 got to qualify. Thus, for the next 2 years I worked harder and qualified for it in 2007, winning the gold medal eventually. If you do not work hard and prove yourself, no one will owe you a second chance. This incident shows that in all aspects of life, one needs to prove that he/she is deserving of the second chance given.“
On supporting the Yellow Ribbon Prison Run, he shared that this event is a great opportunity to highlight the importance of giving second chances.
“As runners, we like to be given second chances to break our own Personal-Bests when we do not break them at a particular run. That is why as runners, we can't wait to take part in the next race to strive and achieve a new Personal-Best. Similarly, deserving ex-offenders should be given second chances in life so that they can becoming contributing members of society after their release. Every one makes mistakes and if they are willing to start anew, we as a society, should show them our support. “

RUNFREE club members raring to go
Organised by ISCOS, a co-operative for ex-offenders that provides aftercare services to help in their reintegration into society, the first run was a success with 10 ISCOS volunteers, Yellow Ribbon Project supporters and ex-offenders turning up on a balmy morning at Bedok Reservoir Park.
The runners were excited and in good spirits, and everyone was ready to start on this journey, not only towards a fit and healthy life, but also to encourage ex-offenders towards a better life.
Shariff, or more popularly known as the Singapore Blade Runner, also attended the run in support of the Yellow Ribbon cause. A local ultra-marathon runner and amputee, he serves as an inspirational role model for ex-offenders and members of the RUNFREE club.
The short 4.3km run around Bedok reservoir ended off with Shariff sharing tips on running postures and training for marathons. A friendly tip for all budding marathon runners who are wondering about the pre-run diet:
“Durians can be taken before a marathon. The sugar and calories will give you a stronger edge and more energy to last on long runs.”
An ISCOS member who took part in the run said,
“I used to run alone after my release from prison as a way to keep fit and de-stress. I’m ecstatic that ISCOS has organised a running club and hope to make new friends who share a common interest.”
The RUNFREE club will be organising weekly runs and would like to invite running enthusiasts and supporters to join them. Do share this with your friends and leave us a comment at http://www.facebook.com/yellowribbonproj if you’d like to be kept updated on RUNFREE club’s schedule.

A total of 9000 runners registered this year and a total of $50,000 was raised for the Yellow Ribbon Fund to help ex-offenders and their families.

Punters in the Great Lakes State can bet on the most popular US and international sports like basketball, baseball, soccer, etc. Both college and professional games are part of Michigan bookmakers’ offers, and they all come with hundreds of betting markets each. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. Read on to find out more about online sports betting in Michigan.
Michigan online sports betting sites
To get the most of each online bet, you must play at the best Michigan online sports betting sites. If you don’t, you miss out on some excellent betting options and, worse, risk losing your money. To prevent this from happening to you, always play at sportsbooks with valid licenses from the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). These online sports betting sites have been thoroughly checked and vetted by the MGCB, one of the US’s strictest regulatory bodies. That means that they are safe, reliable, and come with a proven track record. As such, they are excellent options for your Michigan sports betting adventure.
Online sports betting in Michigan
Online sports betting became legal in Michigan in December 2019. It was then that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed the bill that legalized sports wagering in the Great Lakes State and made Michigan, the twentieth US state, legalize sports betting.
To bet on sports in Michigan legally, you have to be:
- 21 years or older;
- Located in Michigan when placing a bet (Don’t have to be a Michigan resident);
- Must have a valid US Social Security Number;
- You cannot bet if you are in some tribal lands;
- You cannot bet on individual statistical occurrences on collegiate athletes.
Only the 23 tribal and the three commercial casinos that operate in Michigan can apply for online sports betting licenses. If an online betting provider wants to offer its services to Michigan punters, it has to partner with some of these casinos to get a license.
The regulatory body responsible for issuing licenses and overseeing online sports betting in Michigan is the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). So far, the MGCB has approved licenses for 15 online sports wagering providers, which have partnered with some of the existing casinos in the state. Some of the approved licenses include:
- Betfair Interactive US LLC d/b/a FanDuel Sportsbook;
- BetMGM, LLC d/b/a Roar Digital;
- Crown MI Gaming LLC d/b/a DraftKings;
- Penn Sports Interactive, LLC;
- PointsBet Michigan LLC.
Playing at one of these betting providers is always a smart move because the MGCB has already done the due diligence on a sportsbook for you. That means you will be able to place sports bets worry-free and will have that much-needed peace of mind when betting.
The BetRivers sportsbook entered the Michigan betting market via a Little River Casino Resort license in June 2020. RSG, the company behind BetRivers, owns and operates the SugarHouse Casino in Philadelphia and the three Rivers Casinos in Pittsburgh, Illinois, and Des Plaines. In other words, if you are looking for a sportsbook with years of wagering experience, BetRivers is an ideal choice. If you are a punter looking for more than just a run-of-the-mill bookmaker, BetRivers has pretty much everything you want to see in a sportsbook. It boasts tons of American and international sports events, as well as lots of markets. Besides, you can bet on pregame and live propositions, and the sportsbook features some unique bet types like sportsbook pools and teasers.
BetMGM joined the Michigan online betting scene in March 2020 and had to work very little to do so. All the sportsbook had to do was a partner with the sister MGM Grand Detroit casino and applied for a Michigan license. It was as easy as that. And the BetMGM online betting offer has been one of the best in Michigan right from the start. It allows players to bet on all the local teams, and they can get some excellent odds and markets to choose from. In addition to betting on the Lions, Tigers, and Pistons, punters can bet on college and international games at BetMGM. They can do all that at industry-leading odds and with the help of some enticing bonuses.
WynnBet is a name synonymous with safe and reliable gambling, which goes double when betting on sports. The sportsbook, operated by WSI US, entered the Michigan sports betting market on January 22, 2021. It has a top-quality offering of sports that features popular US sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, and hockey. However, it also boasts sports and competitions, which are more popular outside the US. These include sports like Aussie rules, soccer, cycling, and so on. WynnBet also has a lot of enticing promotions ranging from lucrative welcome bonuses to ongoing sportsbook promos.
William Hill Sportsbook
If you are looking for a world-renowned betting provider with years of experience, William Hill is an excellent choice. The bookmaker was founded in 1934 and has always been synonymous with sports betting excellence. These days, William Hill is owned by Entain plc, one of the biggest online wagering companies in the world. Because the London-listed company is behind betting brands like Coral, Ladbrokes, and Sportingbet, it has added even more betting know-how to the William Hill brand. And for those of you who want to know if the sportsbook is legal in Michigan, we have some great news. The William Hill sportsbook is entirely legal in the Wolverine State. It partnered with the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians and the Turtle Creek Casino & Hotel to get a Michigan sports betting license.
The Barstool sportsbook is a well-known name in the world of online sports betting. Penn National Gaming, a company with over 40 gambling venues across North America, is also part-owned. That means that the Barstool sportsbook brings a lot of top-tier sports betting knowledge to the Michigan betting scene, and you won’t make a mistake if you opt for it ahead of the competition. When it comes to Michigan licenses, the Barstool sportsbook is perfectly legal in the Great Lakes State. It partnered with Greektown Casino to get an MGCB license, and it officially entered the Michigan online betting market in December 2020.
PointsBet is one of the fastest-growing sportsbooks in the US. It took betting markets such as those in New Jersey, Indiana, Illinois, and Colorado by storm as soon as it launched there and is now doing the same in Michigan. Initially founded in Australia, the sports betting provider got its Michigan license courtesy of its deal with the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians. PointsBet’s main forte is its sports betting app. It is one of the most accessible apps to navigate and use and makes placing bets a breeze. In addition to a top-quality app, the PointsBet sportsbook boasts the most popular US and international sports and a wide variety of bonus offers.
The giant in daily fantasy sports launched in 2012. These days, in addition to being a fantasy sports franchise with over 10 million players worldwide, it is also one of the most popular US online betting providers. The sportsbook entered the Michigan betting scene in June 2020, and it operates under a Bay Mills Resort and Casino license. When it comes to betting, you can place bets via the Draftkings Sportsbook app or directly on the Draftkings Sportsbook website. Both are easy to use and are tailored so that they meet your every need.
Why Michigan Online Sports Betting
If you are located in Michigan, there is only one sensible option for online sports betting. Licensed and regulated sportsbooks that operate legally in Michigan’s state should always be your first port of call. There are several reasons why Michigan online sports betting providers are your best bet when wagering in the Great Lakes State.
Legal and Safe
All Michigan sportsbooks licensed by the MGCB are legal and safe choices. The MGCB is one of the most rigorous regulating bodies in the US. But this is not a bad thing if you are a Michigan punter. A strict betting regulator is a guarantee that all sportsbooks that it licenses will be first-rate. And fortunately for punters, that’s precisely the case in Michigan.
To get a Michigan license, a sportsbook must fulfill several conditions, two of which are crucial. First, it must partner with one of the existing casinos in Michigan to be eligible for a sportsbook license. There are 23 tribal and three commercial casinos in Michigan, and none of them will risk partnering with a fraudulent sportsbook as that move would ruin their reputation for good.
The second condition that Michigan online betting providers have to meet is to prove that they are legitimate businesses. Here, bookmakers have to show documentation concerning their performance history and track record. If everything checks out here, they get a Michigan license.
The rigorous assessment that Michigan betting sites go through before being given a license is a guarantee for punters regarding Michigan online betting providers’ safety. That’s not the case when they are betting at offshore betting sites with dubious credentials. Therefore, always bet at licensed Michigan sportsbooks. Online betting doesn’t get any safer than that.
Bonuses are another excellent reason why you should opt for Michigan online sports betting providers. The betting market in the Great Lakes State is very competitive. A dozen top-quality sportsbooks are vying for your attention, and they are trying to persuade you to choose them over others.
Fortunately for punters, often, the only way for sportsbooks to stand out is to offer better bonuses than the competition. And almost all Michigan betting sites seem to have figured this out pretty quickly. They have some of the most enticing bonuses in the sports betting industry, and Michigan punters can benefit from them the most.
If you are a betting enthusiast in Michigan, you can qualify for some or all of the following bonuses:
- Welcome bonus offers;
- Free bets;
- Risk-free bets;
- Cashout options;
- Accumulator boosts.
When you join a Michigan sportsbook, you can easily qualify for the provider’s welcome bonus offer. Welcome bonuses, or new customer offers, are usually matched bonuses or risk-free bets. In other words, the sportsbook either matches your first deposit or returns your stake if your first bet is a losing one.
And that’s just the beginning. Continue playing with Michigan sportsbooks, and you can look forward to lots of other bonuses like the never-ending collection of free bet and reload promos.
You can also cash out a bet slip before all outcomes have been decided to minimize the risk of losing and maximize your chances of winning.
Lastly, accumulator boosts come in very handy if you want to include more selections on your bet slip and increase your winnings. Often, a sportsbook will increase your winnings substantially if you have four or more picks on your bet slip, and that’s not a promo that you want to ignore.
Another perk of playing at top-quality Michigan sports betting sites is the variety of payment methods you can choose. You might not think of banking options as crucial when betting on sports, but that’s very much the case, especially if you want to make the most of each bet you place.
Michigan online sports betting sites allow you to deposit and withdraw using a wide range of payment methods. These include banking options such as:
- Credit and Debit Cards
- Wire Transfers
- Online Bank Transfer
- Cash at Casino Cage
As you can see, the list of banking options includes credit and debit cards, E-wallets, wire transfer payments, as well as traditional methods of depositing and withdrawing such as casino cage transactions.
But why is a wide range of payment options a perk at online betting sites? Well, there are several reasons. First, they allow you to continue depositing and withdrawing with banking options you are familiar with. The offer of payment methods at Michigan sportsbooks is so extensive that you will likely find your preferred payment method instantly. That means you won’t have to learn how to use a new payment option, and you will have more time for placing bets.
Deposit and withdrawal limits are another reason why you want a wide variety of payment methods. If you are a high-spending bettor, you will need deposit and withdrawal options with high limits. On the other hand, if you are a budget punter, you will look for lower deposit and withdrawal thresholds.
To find your ideal payment methods, it helps if you have a wide range of payment options to choose from. Michigan sports betting providers know this, and they deliver a comprehensive list of banking options.
The extensive offer of sports is another reason why you should play at Michigan online betting sites. Michigan sportsbooks have the most popular US sports and competitions. They include both professional and collegiate events. Here are some of the sports that Michigan punters love to bet on:
For instance, if you want to bet on the Detroit Tigers and the MLB in general, Michigan sportsbooks are your best bet. They cover the MLB better than offshore sites do and have more betting markets than the competition. The same is true if you plan to bet on the Detroit Lions and the NFL or the Detroit Pistons and NBA games.
In addition to sports popular in the US, Michigan sports betting sites feature more prominent sports internationally. These include sports such as:
- Australian rules
- Table Tennis
Having so many different sports on offer is an excellent thing if you are a Michigan punter. It means you can find the sports you like betting on, no matter how obscure or exotic they are.
And that’s not all. Michigan sports betting providers have special sections dedicated to wagering on horse races. You can find these sections next to the leading sportsbook, and they feature both local and international races. There isn’t a lot that Michigan sportsbooks don’t have when it comes to sports.
Do you want to have more options than just the match-winner one when betting? If you do, then Michigan betting sites will be right up your alley. Michigan sportsbooks have many different bet types, and it is straightforward for punters to find the ones they like. Here are some of the betting markets you can find at Michigan sports betting sites:
- Match winner
- Bet lines
- Over/Under totals
- Winning margin
- Player stats (points/runs/goals/assists)
- Correct score
You can bet on these markets when you place single wagers, and you can do the same when you compile accumulators or combo bets. Similarly, you can bet on markets from only one sport, or you can combine as many events from as many sports as you like.
And that’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to bet types. For instance, Michigan punters can place Teaser bets and alter the spread themselves. They can also choose from a wide variety of systems or combination bets. These include wagers such as:
- Lucky 15
- Lucky 31
These bet types will satisfy even punters with the most discerning betting palates. If you want to bet on your favorite sports and games and have the best-betting markets at your disposal, Michigan sportsbooks are great choices.
MI Online Sports Betting vs. Offshore
You might think that you have a choice when it comes to where you are going to bet. You have Michigan sportsbooks on one side, and you also have hundreds of other offshore sites on the other. Well, if you want to have a safe betting experience, you should only go with Michigan sports betting sites. In other words, you have only one choice to make – which Michigan sports betting site to choose.
Offshore sports betting sites should never be an option. Now sure, some of them are reliable businesses and have a proven record. However, for every safe offshore betting site, there is one that is not so trustworthy.
And if you are a Michigan player, you shouldn’t even try to find reliable offshore betting sites in the first place. Wagering at offshore sportsbooks is illegal in Michigan. If you place bets at offshore betting sites, you and the sportsbook are breaking the law.
That means that if something terrible happens to your deposits or winnings, you will have to keep quiet. You will have no one to turn to and no regulating body to tell about the incident.
That’s hardly ideal and is one of the drawbacks of playing at illegal offshore sites. Let’s look at how Michigan betting sites compare to their offshore counterparts and why you should always opt for bookmakers closer to home.
Offshore Betting Sites are Illegal
Most punters thinking about joining an offshore betting site should know that what they would be doing is illegal. Offshore betting sites cannot accept US players, and that includes punters from Michigan.
International betting sites might tell you otherwise, but the book of the law says that Michigan punters can only place wagers at sportsbooks regulated by the Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB). If you join an offshore betting site, you are doing that at your own risk. You are also breaking the law.
You Might Not Get Your Winnings
And if breaking the law wasn’t bad enough, here’s something that will scare you. Offshore betting sites are not the most reliable ones when it comes to withdrawals.
Sure, they will accept your deposits and will let you bet on as many sports and games as you want. However, if you happen to get a big win and ask for a withdrawal, you might not get your money.
After all, betting at offshore sites is illegal, and you shouldn’t have been there in the first place. Who are you going to complain to? There is no regulatory body that you can report the incident to, and there’s absolutely no way to open a dispute with the sportsbook.
However, if you play at Michigan sportsbooks, none of this will happen. First of all, Michigan sports betting providers wouldn’t even think about defrauding you. Doing something like that would harm their reputation and would put them in trouble with the MGCB. They might even lose their Michigan license.
Secondly, even if a Michigan sportsbook fails to give you your winnings, there are legal routes that you can take. The most obvious one is to report the incident to the MGCB and wait for them to resolve the issue. As you can imagine, these legal routes don’t exist when you bet at offshore wagering sites.
Privacy and Security Issues
Lastly, some offshore sites are regulated by authorities from third-world countries. They also come with dubious credentials. That means that it’s more than just your winnings you are risking when playing with them.
To register a sports betting account, you must give the sportsbook your details and banking information. However, offshore betting sites are by no means obliged to keep that information private. As we already said, you shouldn’t be there in the first place – offshore betting is illegal.
That means that the sportsbook, which might be a front for a criminal organization, will have unlimited access to your most valuable data. Of course, they might not do anything with it. However, they might have been set up with the sole purpose of stealing your personal and financial information. Thus, you should not take that risk.
Once again, when you are placing bets at Michigan sportsbooks, none of this will happen. Michigan sportsbooks use the data you give them to comply with government regulations. They also ask for it to prevent fraud. In other words, when they ask for your personal information, they do that for your protection and don’t have any malicious intentions.
Michigan Online Sports Betting – How To Place a Bet
If you want a crash course in Michigan online sports betting, you came to the right place. Placing bets like a pro is not that difficult if you follow the right advice. Go with our five-step guide, and betting on sports in Michigan will become even more accessible. Here’s how you can place a Michigan sports wager in five simple steps.
Step 1: Choose a Michigan sportsbook
Before you start placing sports bets in Michigan, you have to find your ideal sportsbook. There are over a dozen Michigan sports betting sites, so take your time when picking your sportsbook.

Step 2: Register
The next thing you should do is to register with the Michigan sportsbook you chose.

Michigan sportsbooks use the data you give them to comply with government regulations and to prevent fraud.
Step 3: Deposit
Once your sportsbook account is verified, you can make your first deposit. This is also the step in which you trigger a welcome bonus if the sportsbook has one. To deposit at Michigan online sports betting sites, you first need to go to Cashier from your account menu and select your payment method. Then enter your banking details and the amount you want to transfer. As soon as you click Confirm, the amount you deposited will go to your account.
Step 4: Find your sport and outcome
Now you have an account to play with and money to spend. The next step is to choose your sport and market. Michigan sportsbooks have a wide range of sports and outcomes on offer, so finding the bet you want to place should be a piece of cake. To do this:
- Navigate to the A-Z sports section and choose your sport.
- Select the game or event you want to bet on.
- Click on it to see all the betting markets available.

During the height of the pandemic this annual event was put on hold, but now it’s back in full swing and I couldn’t be happier. There are two race cycles during the month of August, and each one lasts 3 days. The cycles take place when the tide is lowest, typically at the beginning and end of the month. There are usually 4 to 5 races per day, 12 -15 races total each cycle.
My first time back at the races since the pandemic 🙌
The Carreras de Caballos (horse races) are one of Europe’s oldest equestrian contests. The true origins of Sanlúcar’s horse races are unknown; some say it started in the early 1800’s when fishermen began racing their horses on the beach to see who could take their fish to market first, others say fishmongers would race their horses along the shore as they waited for boats to bring fish to the port. In any case, the tradition originated with local Sanluqueños, and in 1845 the Sociedad de Carreras de Caballos de Sanlúcar de Barrameda (Horse Racing Society of Sanlúcar) was established, making the event the first ever regulated horse races in Spain. Ready to learn more? Check out my tips below to get the most out of the event.
1) You can get the best of both worlds
There are two ways to enjoy the races and I recommend experiencing both. Option one is to watch the races for free on the beach; bring your beach gear, pack a lunch, and make a day of it. You can enjoy the playa during the day and in the evening (around 6pm) the races will begin.
My happy place…in the VIP balconies 😜
2) Show up early and stay late
Whether you plan to watch the race from the beach or the event grounds, you’ll want to show up early. Sanlúcar’s population is 70,000 in the off season, but in summer it skyrockets to 140,000+! There’s always limited parking and tons of people, so you’ll want to grab your spot on the beach early (before lunch), or find parking near the event before the crowds arrive at 6pm. Note it’s a 30 minute walk from the Plaza de Cabildo to the Playa de las Piletas (the event grounds) or it’s a 10 minute taxi ride. Also, if you’re going to the big tent, you can scope out the horses before placing your bet; the jockeys walk them around the ring 30 minutes before each race.
Scope out the horses 30 minutes before each race
Keep in mind the last race of the day is always timed to end right at sunset (around 9:30pm), this way the sun sets just behind the finish line as the horses race across it (*hint* this is your kodak moment). During the second cycle there’s an afterparty every night, it’s the place to see and be seen. If you don’t know someone with a palco (private tent), you can leave the event, grab dinner (see my favorite restaurants), and use your ticket to get back in. There’s usually a live band and DJ, and the party can last until 7am!

3) Bring cash to place your bets
Make sure to bring Euros to spend at the betting booths. I’ll usually bring €20 – €40 to bet each day, but of course you can spend much more. I love betting at the races because the amounts are small and if you get lucky the return can be quite high. Here are the different types of bets you can place:
- Single (“ganador”): You can put €2 or more on any of the horses participating in the race. At the betting booth tell them the number of the horse you want to bet on and the amount of money you’ll pay, for example, “quiero poner €2 en numero 4, ganador”.
- Double (“gemela”): If you’re feeling lucky, spend €2 on a gemela bet (choose first and second place winners). Gemela bets are automatically reversible if there are seven or more horses in the race. If there are less than seven horses you can ask to make your bet reversible for an extra €2. A reversible bet means as long as those two horses come in first and second place you’ll win (the *exact order* doesn’t matter if it’s reversible).
- Triple (“trio“): Want to gamble for the big prize? Place a triple bet and choose the horses you think will come in first, second and third place. A triple bet costs €1 and you can make it reversible for €6. The payout for a gemela or triple bet can be large—one year my brother-in-law won €700 from a trio!
To collect your prize money you’ll need to wait 10 or so minutes for officiators to verify the final racing order. They’ll announce the final order over loud speakers and display the list on the big screen inside the tent. Then you can show your ticket at the betting booth to collect your payout.
I won €50 from my reversible gemela 💰 not bad for a €4 bet!
4) Dress for the occasion
If you’re watching the races from the beach then you don’t have to worry about what you’re wearing, just bring some layers to keep you warm as it usually gets chilly near sunset. If you’re watching from the tent, you’ll notice a mix of casual and dressy styles.
My advice is to dress nice but wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be walking on sand the entire time you’re there, so ladies should opt for wedges or flats instead of heels. Again, it can get chilly at night, and the tent is open air, so check the forecast before you go and bring layers if necessary.

If you or someone in your family plays a sport, it’s important to make sure you have the best protection against dental injuries.
The only way to do that is to visit Just Smiles for a custom-made athletic mouthguard!
Customize Your Athletic Mouthguard For Fall Sports!
Any sport you participate in can put your teeth and gums at risk for injuries. That’s why, regardless of whether a team, school, or coach requires it, you should invest in an athletic mouthguard for maximum safety and protection.
But where you get a mouthguard makes a difference!
Here’s why the best investment in your favorite athlete’s smile is a customized mouthguard from your Westerville dentist:
As an athlete, you’re expected to move with agility, constantly and quickly changing speed and direction.
How well can you do that, say, if your shoes were too big or your pants were too long?
Not very well at all, right?
How about communicating with your teammates and coaches? A big, bulky mouthguard is going to make breathing and speaking difficult.
The point is, how something fits you will have a major impact on your athletic performance. That’s one way you benefit from a mouthguard that’s been measured to fit your teeth and gums specifically. It’s smaller, sleeker, and fits your mouth more securely so you can do your job on the field.
Another reason customized mouthguards are superior to mass-produced guards, even the boil-and-bite kind, is coverage, cushion, and protection.
Rather than sliding around, your custom guard will stay put so it can actually serve its purpose, which is to provide full, even coverage over your teeth so that if you’re struck in the mouth, face, or jaw, your risks for head or dental injuries are minimized.
If you’re wearing something for the first time that doesn’t fit properly, how likely are you to wear it a second time?
That’s one thing parents understand all too well! Kids will wear an article of clothing or a pair of shoes once, and after that, you never see it again. It’s hidden deep in the closet or under the bed.
Or in the case of a bulky, uncomfortable store-bought mouthguard, it’s buried somewhere at the bottom of their gym bag.
Comfort matters, so when you invest in a professionally-made athletic mouthguard from your dentist, you’re increasing the likelihood that your child will actually wear it!
The Clock Is Running Out!
During a game, you need the comfort and protection of a custom mouthguard to work at peak performance and to help lead your team to victory!
Get the right gear for your teeth and gums at Just Smiles before time runs out on the clock! | sports |

I always walk out feeling magical, refreshed, and like my mind and body are reset." –T.L.
"The first time I came in to see Michael I was experiencing a persistent and painful case of costochondroitis that no one had been able to help me with, but just hours after seeing Michael I felt almost 100% better.
Ever since that first session, I have turned to Michael first with any sort of pain. His unique and wide-ranging skillset combined with his remarkable intuition always make him able to address my discomfort." –E.W.
"As a distance runner this not only helped me to get through this one injury..it has made feel stronger and less injury prone…the results speak for themselves." –E.L.
"Michael helped me train for 6 months to prepare for the US Marine Corps Marathon and thanks to him, coming off of 3 children in 5 years and patella knee surgery, I was able to reach my goal of beating a previous PR and finishing in Sub4.
Everything Michael does is with intention. His innate understanding of the musculoskeletal relationship to physical endurance and strength is what sets him apart. As a result, you finish the race not only intact, but strong." –G.W.
"Even after seeing numerous massage therapists, athletic trainers and PT’s my chronic achilles injury grew worse. After working with Michael I ran pain free for the first time in many months. Employing a variety of methods was really key. As an NCAA Division I 10k and 5K runner, I really recommend him." –M.C. | sports |

Just as you can train your body NLP enables you to
train your mind and perform at your best.
What is NLP?
NLP is not therapy – it is an established model with proven results. It works for everyone. It uses techniques to manage any issue that is preventing you from training and performing at your best.
Professional sports teams and athletes recognise the importance of the mind-body connection and tap into the power of sports psychology to squeeze out every resource available to them. The Mind Coach can help you do the same.
Your mind is a powerful tool and with NLP you can develop the skills and techniques you need to fulfil your potential.
Sessions & Pricing
The number of sessions you will need will depend on your goal and what you want to achieve but most people need two to three sessions. Many come back for more to tackle other areas and to build on the success!
Your first session lasts 90 minutes. This is where we explore what you want to achieve, identify any problems and lay some groundwork.
Subsequent sessions last one hour when we get to work.
Sessions will take place in a purpose-built studio, but home visits can be arranged.
While individual one-to-one sessions are more effective and targeted to specific aims, The Mind Coach workshops introduce you to the benefits of NLP and are a great way to sample some of the effective methods. Follow on Instagram and Facebook for details of upcoming workshops.
If your group/team/club is interested in hosting a workshop please do contact me.
