I think it is the look on a kid’s face when he executes a play like he was taught & it works. Another rewarding thing is when I actually get them to listen to what they are told… instead of stepping on the foot of a team mate or staring into space.
I laugh about a lot of the things they do, but get a big lift when I find some kid actually listened to something I said. Getting a kid to think of helping his team instead of himself always gives one a sense of accomplishment. Every child wants to be the center of attention & directing them to do something that allows someone else to get the attention is counter to their instincts. That is why one must always look for a good block or defensive action to praise a kid for. Sometimes a kid will learn to praise the actions of a team mate helping to make a play & that is very up lifting.
Perhaps the most rewarding thing is to see the change in attitude playing a sport can induce in a kid.

I saw several sites in 10/20/06 edition of the Wall Street Journal. You did not bet actual money, but made bets and you acquired points to use for prizes.

Is yoga good?

In a given week I run and lift and do yoga. Yoga, in my experience, can be the toughest work-out if done right. Variety in exercise is crucial to fitness. Yoga can provide that, I think, more than just doing weights or cardio. My advice is to mix it up.

Do you think anyone who exclusively runs or lifts weights is as physically fit as this guy?

Professional sports teams like the Raiders and Diamondbacks travel from coast-to-coast all the time. If one of these flights were to end in a nasty crash, the entire team would be killed. This would be extremely devastating. Has it ever happened?

The Superga air disaster took place on Wednesday, 4 May 1949, when a plane carrying almost the entire Torino A.C. football squad, popularly known as Il Grande Torino, crashed into the hill of Superga near Turin killing all 31 aboard including 18 players, club officials, journalists accompanying the team, and the plane’s crew.

On October 2, 1970 a Martin 4-0-4 aircraft flown by Golden Eagle Aviation crashed near Silver Plume, Colorado. It was one of two planes carrying the Wichita State University football team to Logan, Utah for a game against Utah State University

The Munich air disaster took place on 6 February 1958, when British European Airways Flight 609 crashed on its third attempt to take off from a slush-covered runway at Munich-Riem Airport in Munich, West Germany. On board the plane was the Manchester United football team, nicknamed the "Busby Babes", along with a number of supporters and journalists. 23 of the 44 people on board the aircraft died as a result of the crash.

Sabena Flight 548, registration OO-SJB, was a Boeing 707 aircraft en route from New York International Airport (later renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport) to Brussels, Belgium’s Zaventem Airport on February 15, 1961. The flight crashed during the approach for landing. All 72 on board were killed, as was one person on the ground. The crash was the first fatal accident involving a Boeing 707 in regular passenger service.[1] Among the dead were the entire United States Figure Skating team, who were en route to the 1961 World Championships in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

On October 29, 1960, a chartered C-46 plane carrying the California Polytechnic State University football team, hours after a 50-6 loss to Bowling Green State University, crashed on takeoff at the Toledo Express Airport in Toledo, Ohio after the left engine lost power. Twenty-two of the forty-eight people on board were killed, including sixteen players, the team’s student manager and a Cal Poly football booster.

I am thinking about attending Ohio State University. I love to watch and play football,basketball,and baseball. My question is how good is Ohio State University at these sports. Is the campus nice and stadiums and arena. THANKS!!!!!

People have had many good things to say about OSU over the years.

Plus, they have the nation’s largest enrollment with 50,000 students.
They pack in 107,000 fans for every Buckeye home football game, with a great team.
Their men’s and women’s basketball teams are on top of their conference right now, and they might challenge for a national title.

The baseball team does okay in their conference. But when it comes to the Big Ten conference, in baseball the Big Ten doesn’t usually figure into the national picture.

I think in college there is more heart. Pro if you lose your still getting paid. I know that there are some players that’s not there for the money be what do you think.

college sports is another way for the players to make there case on how much they get paid for the next level. But overall id rather follow college teams then pro teams because there is no money involved yet. these colleges actually have to scout, mold, and fine tune the players they get to win. it is the real process of building a great team.

any1 know any online sports gambling/bookmakers sites that have a minimum deposit limit of £5 instead of £10? thanks

I’m doing a project on old sports wagering odds and statistics. Where would I find a printed log of past betting lines?

www.betexplorer.com is excellent if you are only interested in football (soccer) odds.

For past odds on all events on betfair’s exchange you can use http://data.betfair.com/

Never the #48 or the Lowe’s Chevy or anything remotely intelegent, just "the per diem car".

Because he’s uneducated. It is a "big, fancy word" that he heard someone else use, so he uses it to seem smart to the fans. I personally would use, reliable, steady, work-a-day or consistent to describe his car, which is always running up front, which is great, except he beat Matt Kenseth yesterday. (damn you Matt for not taking four tires!)

Most sports and/or competitions require that you begin young. Gymnastics, dance, ect are a few. However, are there any sports that women can begin over the age of 35, and still compete? I’m open to any and all possible competitions. Something physical and competitive.
NOTE: I’m looking for sports/competitions that I could START after the age of 35, without ANY experience, and eventually reach competition level.
