There are a lot of technical terms when it comes to the world of archery which could become confusing if you’re new to the sport. Some of these terms describe parts of the bow itself such as the limbs, tillers, cams and risers which are all important for the speed and accuracy with which the bow shoots. Other terms, such as draw weight, draw length and IBO refer to the dimensions of the bow and how fast it can fire an arrow. A distinguishing feature that is related directly to the Read the rest of this entry »

Over the past thirty years, golf has exploded onto the sports scene as one of the most popular pastimes worldwide. Along with its ever increasing popularity, the equipment associated with the sport has  come a long way. From the use of golf clubs with wooden shafts, to those that are made from graphite and other space aged materials. New designs and innovations have allowed for golfers to hit balls harder and with much more accuracy. The technology of the past has now melded with the ideas of the future. The result has been golf clubs of mixed species. These hybrid innovations have taken the ideas behind golf club drivers, and meshed them with the concept of irons. Read the rest of this entry »

When you ask who’s the greatest basketball player who’s ever played the game, whether you like him or not, the unanimous reply is almost always Michael Jordan.  When you tweak the question, however, and ask who the best active player is, it almost always comes down to either Kobe Bryant or Lebron James.  Both came into the game as dynamos out of high school breaking records in the NBA almost instantly, and both of them are such integral parts of their respective teams (LA Lakers and the Cleveland Cavaliers) that they’ve each been given the title of the league’s Most Valuable Player during their still booming careers.

So I am here visiting Tampa for work and I was super excited to go out to a real grass driving range since I haven’t been able to go practice on anything but hitting mats since November. I went out to hit golf balls at a pretty awesome driving range at Tampa Downs that’s open until 9 or so at night.  It was nice….except for the fact that the Read the rest of this entry »

However, as they develop their skill and continue to grow, practicing in the backyard will likely no longer be a viable option. Read the rest of this entry »

In the 50s of the 19^th century, the world didn’t know anything about Tai Chi Kung Fu before the grand master Yeung taught Tai Chi in Beijing. The Tai Chi system he taught was called the Chan’s Tai Chi. In the 30s of the 20^th century, the famous master Chan was invited to teach Tai Chi in Beijing. His kung fu was so good and personality so kind that people called him the Tai Chi Man.

During that time there were some people practicing Ng’s Tai Chi in Beijing and were quite famous. They heard about master Chan and his skills, so they invited him for some cultural exchange and sharing. After they greeted each other, they invited Master Chan to show them his Taichi routines. Master Chan did not refuse and immediately started doing his routines. After that he was leaving. Read the rest of this entry »

While everyone around me seems to be enthralled with the ongoing Olympic games, I think it’s important to remember your own sporting activities.  This is no time to be sitting in front of the TV sucking back beer and chips while watching your favorite country battle it out in Vancouver.  As much as I enjoy watching different sporting events, I must admit, that they all pale in comparison to actually participating in my favorite activities.  I mean, I think I just got through Christmas, and the Superbowl socializing activities with minimal damage to my athletic skills when it’s now time for the Olympics.  Winter can be a tough time for the athletic types, if you only enjoy doing outdoor sports.

I enjoy golfing, football, baseball, and soccer as much as the next guy, but what I really enjoy doing, is playing squash and sailing.  While sailing is a predominately summer sporty (at least where I live it is), squash is something that I can play all year long.  Although it’s primarily played in the winter, there’s no reason not to play in the summer as well.  Other than as you get older (like I am), it’s good to have a few months for recovery, as squash can be a harsh sport on the body.  I don’t think I’ve ever met a s squash player that didn’t have a few injury stories to tell.  It’s really the kind of sport, that you need to get into shape to play.  Not play to get into shape.  Herbalife Sports, is the kind of company that understands you can have more fun playing sports like squash when your healthy and strong to start with.

So, the point is a sporting lifestyle is essential I think to living a healthy and balanced life.  I also believe that the more sporting activities you participate in, the more you enjoy it when watching it either live or on television.  I’m a very amateur skier, but I really developed an appreciation for the professional skiers, after doing it a bit on my own.  After spending plenty of time on the bunny and beginner slopes, I’m constantly blown away when I watch the pros go flying down the mountain.  I believe, that in order to make it on the professional ski tour, you have to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie.  I think ski racing, is as much about skill as it is about nerve.  Those guys and gals that win on a consistent basis, are truly fearless and constantly push themselves to go just a bit faster than their current skill can handle.  They really are on the edge of losing control all the time.

So, as I said in the beginning, be sure to enjoy watching your favorite country or team compete in whatever sporting event you enjoy.  But don’t forget to get yourself out there and set a few records of you own.
