Prrrrrrrhhh the last whistle to mark the end of the game went off. The Lions could now not manage to book a place in the World Cup soccer quarter finals. They had shamelessly lost 2-0 to the Leopards. Perhaps if their super striker Bernardo had been in the game, they would have beaten the Leopards. Unfortunately, he was still lying in a hospital bed nursing a severe ankle sprain that he had suffered the previous day during a similar match. Ankle sprains are a common injury in all sports. These kinds...

One of the key contributors to the development of surfing culture is Tom Blake. He started surfing when he was young and continued with that sport until old age.

Blake first surfed on a redwood plank he acquired when he was...

Football is organized and governed by Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) cricket is governed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) while basketball is run by the Federation Internationale de Basketball (FIBA). These regulatory bodies should introduce rules that limit the number of players that can be transferred within a certain period of time.

David Hunter (1998) once wrote, football is there for life. It never goes stale. (p.37). In a sport as lasting as football, every member of the team must strive to perform at his best, all the time.

The following 8-week training scheme will help...

The last two years of my life had been momentous.  It involved experiences that I have never encountered, and more importantly, of challenges that I have never overcome before.  Perhaps it was because these involved concerns relating to emotional struggles, instead of the physical ones that I had been more accustomed to dealing with, that seemed to make them harder to conquer. Nevertheless, through these personal struggles, I became aware of the strengths that I possess that otherwise...

Sport is an important part in American culture since it is all over the media (Althen, Doran and Szmania 191). Sociologists have made it clear that coverage of sports events are cultural artifacts. Other scholars have also regarded popular sports figures as artifacts because they mirror the very values of the nation take for instance Muhammad Ali (Duncan xiv) who is not only a gold medalist but a symbol of cultural ideals.  This paper will explore the sports system in America. First of all,...
