    By: Jeff Obrien | - I would like to focus the gist of this article on the basis of the golf swing... the grip. With spring in the air and golf on our minds let's get this year off to a good start by not overlooking the basics.

    Unquestionably the biggest mistake I see in people's golf swing isn't in their golf swing itself.

    Nope. Not at all.

    More often than not the mistakes happen before the swing even begins. The first mistake is made in how the golfer holds the golf clu ...

  • Youth Basketball Passing Tip & Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Though we all love to see a dazzling crossover dribbling move, a sweet jumper that tickles the twine from beyond the arc, and the monster slam from behind the ear, in the final analysis, youth basketball is a team game.

Their rivals have superstars, they really could do nothing: Aldridge and Roy enjoy their play for fear that they can not prove that Portland Trail Blazers have completed their metamorphosis in the first game.

  • Youth Basketball Free Throw Shooting Drills
    By: Trevor A. Sumner | - Though it may seem like one of the least exciting offensive aspects of the game of basketball, free throw shooting is every bit as important as making lay ups, knocking down open jump shots, or hitting the three.

    The game's greatest free throw shooters have three things in common. They spend countless extra hours practicing free throws, they establish and follow a free throw routine, and they ...

  • Zeugma -rhetorical Device Used By Master Writers
    By: marciano guerrero | - What is a Zeugma?
    Zeugma is a rhetorical device where a single word is made to refer to two or more words in a sentence, often playing on the words' literal and metaphorical meanings.

    The verb 'To hide' controls two other words: intentions and teeth. But what is worthy of note in this zeugma is the juxtaposition of an abstract noun (intentions) to a c ...
