  • Barlas Baylar Catching The Eyes Of Keyshawn Johnson?
    By: Paul Wise | - A superstar athlete is typically judged only by his or her performance on the field and what little bit of his or her personality is shown on and off the field. As a society we don't mean to judge someone we don't know personally, but when they are on our television every week, it's only natural that it happens. Look at Super Bowl winner Keyshawn Johnson. We, the NFL fans, know him as an incredible wide receiver who was over-top athletic, durable and extremely volatile. That's all we knew him a ...

  • Strength Training Guidelines For Endurance Athletes
    By: vino | - You can make great strides in your sport performance in the weight room. Because strength training can break down a lot of muscle tissue I recommend weight work be done in the foundation or base period.

Hill running, slow cadence cycling work outs, and resisted swim work outs are all forms of strength training that are specific to disciplines. Weight training should smoothly transition into strength training in you ...

  • How To Be A Full-time Runner
    By: Tellman Knudson | - We all dream about it. Running.

    We sit in our cubicles, tap, tap tapping away, entering data, answering phones, dealing with ungrateful bosses and grumpy co-workers.

    We pound away at our jobs, or even our own businesses that we have grown to hate, just staring at the clock, waiting for it to tick by so we can get free of the 9 to 5, let loose and rip out a fast 10-miler after work - where we can finally feel alive.

  • Recreating That Locker Room Feeling

Its not uncommon for sporting relationships to extend beyond the sporting field to personal life and this can result in an athletes life revolving around sport and its contacts. ...

  • Retired Athletes Lose More Than The Game
    By: Annette Huygens-Tholen | - On retiring from sport an athlete may set new goals, establish a new career but they may still miss an important key.

  • Are Your Kids Overweight? Tips To Get Your Kids To Eat Right
    By: Alex Tatarinov-Levin | - Almost 30 years ago, the USDA made an earnest attempt to classify ketchup as a fresh vegetable in school lunches.

So don't feel guilty about super-sizing your fries anymore; just think of them as a salad-the USDA does.

  • Olympic Personal Change - The New Extreme Sport
    By: Dorothy Tannahill Moran | - This week a person made an observation of me that stuck with me long enough to think up this concept. He observed that change was really a big part of who I was but noted that most people run the other way due to fear and loathing of change.

    Like a fire fighter running into a burning building, I also run to the flame of change. Why is that? What makes a person gravitate to things that frighten other people? It occurred to me that it is a lot like an extreme sport. There is a ...

    Just so we\'re clear, here is what I mean when I say bodybuilding. Bodybuilding uses sets, reps and loads with only one goal in mind, buildi ...
