Drivers
.... habit of not seeing a traffic
light turn green and they just sit there till someone honks their horn at them.
All drivers fall into one of these three categories. Most people would
probably lie and say that they were in the good driver category. Some would have
an honest opinion of his/her driving and categorize themselves properly. So I'll
leave you with this question "Which type of driver are you"?

Greed In Sports
.... but struggle to make the transition into the pros, and
average only four points; pay up! If their egos swell so much that they are out
of control in public and do something to disgrace the organization they play
for; pay up, because the contract guarantees that they get their money.
The NFL is a breeding ground for holdout players. I think that Holdout 101,
taught by Professor X-Pro Millionaire, is a required class for all pro
football players. Rule number one: if you think you can get more money
than what your contract says, holdout. Rule number two: if you are in the
middle of a multi-year contract, then fuck that c .....

How To Fight In Hockey Successfully
.... his jersey
right below his chin with one hand and pull him foreword quickly. While you
slam him forward, use your other hand to punch him in the face. This technique
hurts the opponent the most because his momentum moving toward you makes the
blow twice as hard as an ordinary punch. Continue to use this technique over
and over until the fight is done. The opponent usually will not know where he
is, so it will be a fairly easy fight.
Along with the previous techniques, there are also a few tips that will
help you out. First of all, avoid throwing your opponent on to the ice. When
you do this, the referees can easily break up .....

Martial Arts
.... during the late 1800's, focuses on developing
moral and aesthetic developments. Karate-do and Judo are forms of Budo. People
who learn budo learn it to use it only as a last resort.
Another martial art that developed in Japan is ninjitsu, which means
"the art of stealing in!" People who practice ninjitsu are called ninjas.
Ninjitsu was developed in the late 1200's. At that time, ninjas were masters of
all armed and unarmed combat.
Although the emperors banned ninjitsu in the 1600's, it was still
practised secretly, to keep the value it possesses. Ninjitsu gained world
attention in the 1980's.
This was a report about mart .....

Minor League Baseball: Boom Or Bust To Communities?
.... played the game it is,” says one editor of The Minor League Baseball
Book.
There are currently 156 teams that are part of the National Association
of Professional Baseball. This number will grow in the next few years with the
addition of two expansion teams at the major league level. There have also been
a number of independent leagues formed which are said to be the “future of minor
league baseball.” The success of these teams have shown how the value of these
franchises have grown over the past ten years. In the past, class AAA teams
would sell for three hundred thousand dollars while a smaller class A team went
for fi .....

Mountain Bikes
.... mountain bike.
The road bike has taken more than a hundred years to evolve into the
frame that it is being used on todays bicycle. Because of the increasingly
popularity of the mountain bike the demand for advances to be made have come
very rapidly.
The evolution of the mountain bike has been a stormy one over the past
decade. Within one decade the design has changed radically; this is due to three
reasons. First , because geometry and design were copied from the first "Stone-
Age bikes"; second, because off-road riding created different problems ; and
third, because innovative frame design mirrored the "spirit of the times": yo .....

Sports Management
.... my
athletic abilities to participate in softball. I have no regrets on the
decisions I have made, because I would never be the person I am today or have
met all of the key people along the way.
Throughout my college career, I have attempted to learn as much as
possible about the field of sports management through various work experiences
with many different types of sports organizations. Through my experiences with
people in a minor league baseball association, fitness club, public relations
department, athletic departments, and various recreation centers, I have had the
opportunity to develop and hone my communication and pub .....

Prop. 16
.... shows the students that they need to try alot harder to pass Prop. 16 to play
the sport they love so much. And sence they have to try harder to get at least
a 2.000 GPA, a 86 on their ACT, and a 1010 on the SAT to pass Prop. 16 they will
then hopefully become smarter and go to college to play sports. And a lets take
a event from real life, lets say that a interlectually challenged four star
football player; lets call him Ricky. Ricky does bad all the way up to high
school where he finds out about alittle thing called Prop. 16. He then changes
his ways, in a good way. He starts to turn a 2.800 GPA instead of a 1.250 GPA.

Should Scholarship Athletes Work?
.... most administrators have
estimated the costs to be between $2,000 and $3,000 a year. Athletes who choose
to work, and their employers, will be required to sign an affidavit that says
the athletes have not been hired on the basis of their athletic ability or
status and that they will be compensated only for the work they perform at a
rate commensurate with the local rate of pay for such work.
Critics of the legislation that passed said it opens the door for the
very problems that originally sparked the regulation, athletes being paid for
menial labor, and that keeping track of how much money athletes are earning will
be diffi .....

Types Of Skiing
.... slalom competitors race downhill through a series of gates
represented by pairs of poles. The flags on the gates are either red or blue.
There are three types of events: Slalom, Giant Slalom, and Super-G. Slalom
has many gates and tight turns. Giant Slalom has fewer gates and wider turns.
Super-G is a combination of Giant Slalom and downhill racing.
Getting through the gates of a slalom course calls for great balance and
skill. Races are won on the fastest time, as in downhill, but if a gate is
missed or taken wrongly it means disqualification of the racer. Olympic slalom
events require a course to have a vertical .....

Sponsors And Sports
.... these
companies even more chances to influence the public with commercials that
companies might sometimes pay up to $1 million for. The uniforms that the
players wear are now being made my different manufacturers whereas five years
ago each league had all their teams wearing the same brand. The equipment being
used is also made by different companies. No matter what is being fought for,
sponsors create good and bad influences in each sport. Major League Baseball is
recognized as the most popular sport. They also play the most games which is a
plus to sponsors. Each game is seen as a chance to spread word of their company.
