    In what order would you put the four major league sports?

    I’m interested in what order hockey fans will put Hockey, Baseball, Football, and Basketball from best to worst. Obviously hockey will be at the top a lot, but I’m wondering what other sports you also like. Can you say which ones you actually like and follow and which are just in order from least evil to most evil?
    And if you want to answer another question: Besides these four major league sports, what other sports do you like?

    Four Common Sports Parenting Challenges

    I’m a youth soccer coach and sports mom/stepmom to four young athletes aged 8 to 19. Our kids dance, skate, ski, run cross-country, and play soccer, lacrosse, football and basketball.

    As a sports parent, I’ve dealt with sports kids who:

    1. Are stars in practice but choke up during competition (and then get angry at themselves).

    2. Worry too much about what their coaches and teammates think of them.

    3. Don’t know how to communicate with coaches who give negative feedback.

    4. Feel pressured to play—even when they’re sick or injured.

    These are just a few of the tough situations I’ve faced over the past 14 years, since our oldest first began playing sports at age five, These are challenging situations, and I can tell you, the answers aren’t easy to come by!

    For example, what do you say to a child or teen who regularly gets angry at himself for making mistakes during a game?

    You can help your child modify his expectations about making mistakes. Sometimes kids try to be too perfect on the playing fields and expect to not make any mistakes. Modifying their expectations can help them perform without the burden of constant frustration.

    Every day as sports parents, you face so many other tough—and interesting—situations. Believe me, how you react to these issues is critical to your child’s self-confidence and success as an athlete! (I’ve made enough mistakes to know).

    One really important challenge for kids in sports today is a phenomenon called social approval. Young athletes with social approval challenges focus too much on what they think others may or may not be thinking about them. We also call this mind reading because young athletes have no idea about what others are really thinking!

    They often make things up and things that are not really positive or confidence-enhancing. It’s your job as a sports parent to be aware of such mental game challenges. You can become the “mental game” coach in ways that boost your kids’ confidence and happiness in sports.

    Water Sports – Tracing The Origins Of The Four Most Popular Ones

    Water sports: they’re fun to watch, exciting to participate in, and they’ve been enjoyed for ages! We’ve been trying to dominate water since the time we stood up as humanoids. We try to take air beneath the surface, we build crafts to skim across the surface, and we use the power of its resistance to build strength in our bodies.

    Water sets the stage for some of the most unique, and yet some of the most common events in the world. Covering 75% of our Earth’s surface, and making up over 90% of our bodies, it doesn’t make you wonder why water has played such a huge role in our personal and professional lives. Let’s dive in!

    Swimming:

    Swimming is the most popular of the water sports because it is easily accessible and inexpensive. In several of the earliest stories of classical literature, it’s portrayed as a symbol of heroism and religion. The first known documentation of the various swimming methods is Nicolas Wynman’s Dialogue Concerning the Art of Swimming, originally published in 1538. (Historians are still trying to figure out who he was having that dialogue with.)

    With the development of swimming pools as we know them today, it became easier and safer for average people all over the world to learn to swim and master it. Swimming was made an Olympic event for the first time in 1896. The most publicized swimming events are the insanely ambitious attempts at swimming across the English Channel. It is a feat that requires strength, endurance – for both the distance and the notoriously frigid waters – and a lot of determination and courage.

    The first man ever to swim across the English Channel was Matthew Webb of England who did so in 1875. In 1926, Gertrude Ederle from the United States became the first woman to cross the channel. From speed, to endurance, to form – the different styles of swimming are continuously evolving.

    Snorkeling:

    Snorkeling is a very thrilling water sport that involves viewing exotic fish and aquamarine life. It’s like jumping into a painting where the views can range from extreme tranquility to paralyzing fright. Humans are definitely land mammals, and snorkeling is how we can enter a world that was not made for us. Long ago, snorkels were made out of hollow reeds.

    After swimming, snorkeling is the next oldest water sport. There is a reference to it made by Pliny the Elder in first century Rome. Leonardo Da Vinci, the world-renowned painter and lesser-known inventor, created a more modern snorkel at the command of the Venetian senat. Da Vinci’s snorkel was a tube attached to leather helmets used by divers. Most agreed that his invention was indeed better than a reed. Modern day snorkels are J shaped tubes, usually made of rubber, that open at one end and attach to a mouthpiece at the other end. The average length of the tube is 2 ft (61cm).

    Surfing:

    Surfing is reported to have first appeared NOT in Hawaii as many people mistakenly believe. Archaeology indicates that Peruvians (people from Peru) were “hanging ten” as early as 200B.C.E. Their boats were made from reeds, and even today, the local fisherman can be seen riding their “little reed horses.”

    Surfing really gained popularity in America, mostly in California, in the 1920s. By the 1960s, it was a highly popular sport among young people. When surfing first emerged as a water sport, the best surfers were long, handcrafted wooden boards. They were heavy and cumbersome to maneuver on the water.

    Modern surfboards are made of lighter synthetic materials, and they’re shaped in different aerodynamic fashions that allow more maneuverability and movement on the waves than was originally possible. International Surfing Championships are held all over the world including Australia, California, and of course – Hawaii.

    Water Polo:

    A water sport that originated in England in the 1870s is water polo. It began as a form of rugby played in the rivers and lakes. The name comes from the English pronunciation of the Balti word for ball, pulu. Americans started playing it in the early twentieth century. Today there are several college teams and clubs for this sport.

    For a while, Americans tried their own version of water polo that used a soft rubber ball and a larger pool. This game came to be known as softball water polo. However, due to a high incidence of violent behavior and rough play, this variation was abandoned. Men’s water polo became an Olympic event in 1900 and women’s water polo was added in 2000.

    These are only a few water sports. There are many others that are equally thrilling, like white water rafting, water skiing, underwater hockey, diving, etc.

    Whether you are participating or just watching, water sports are amazingly fun. If you want to take a cool break from the traditional sports like football and basketball, give your body the unique experience of water sports.

    Summary:

    Water sports have excited and energized people all through the ages. This article takes a look at the origins of four of the popular variety – Swimming, Snorkeling, Surfing and Water Polo.

      Four Myths That Can Keep Girls From Getting Into the College of Their Choice, Playing the Sport They Love and Winning a Sports Scholarship

      Today female athletes are “in.” It has not always been that way. A generation ago most girls and women were called “tomboys” if they wanted to participate in sports, especially team sports with physical contact. But now it is commonplace for girls to play catch with their fathers while their mothers are off playing soccer or softball…or ice hockey. As little girls grow into women encouraged to be physically active, their self-confidence and skills grow and they find increased opportunities to use their athletic talents. One way that today’s female athletes benefit is by playing sports in college and by getting scholarships to help pay for the exorbitant costs of a college education.


      According to the book “How To Win A Sports Scholarship,” by Penny Hastings and Todd Caven, nearly 167,000 females played collegiate sports in the 2005-06 school year. Many of them were on full or partial scholarships.


      Unfortunately, certain myths surround college athletic scholarships and often prevent talented female athletes from taking advantage of the possibilities available to them. Let’s debunk these myths one by one.


      Myth #1–You have to be a superstar to win a sports scholarship. False!


      Only 1% of the nation’s high school or community college student-athletes are superstar or “blue-chip” athletes. These elite athletes have no problem catching the eye of college coaches. In fact, their biggest dilemma might be a constantly clamoring telephone or overflowing e-mail inbox! Clearly, if these blue-chippers were the only athletes recruited, colleges could not fill their rosters or field a team. So, what happens to the other 99%? Some make up the teams of colleges around the country, but others do not even try because they think only superstars get the breaks.


      Myth #2–College coaches will automatically hear about you if you are good enough. False!


      The truth is that college coaches will probably never hear about you unless you bring yourself to their attention. No matter how good you are on your high school or club swim, tennis, basketball or lacrosse team, only college coaches within your geographical area will ordinarily know about you. There are thousands of female athletes across the country who excel. But shrinking athletic budgets at all but the largest, most competitive schools prohibit coaches from scouring the countryside looking for players so many talented student-athletes are overlooked in the recruiting process.


      Myth #3–If you want a sports scholarship, you must have the talent to play at a Division I school. False!


      Over 180,000 athletic scholarships are available each year in all sports (many of them divided so that a single soccer scholarship, for instance, might be given as partial scholarships to three or four players). Not all of these scholarships are from Division I schools. Many student-athletes think about Division I programs when they think about playing collegiate athletics because of their high visibility. They see them on television and read about them in the newspaper. But while Division I programs draw the most attention, there are several thousand other colleges with competitive sports programs that offer college scholarships to help pay student-athletes’ expenses. Savvy young women look at a variety of college programs, not just Division I, when investigating options.


      Myth #4–There are few sports scholarships available for women. False!


      Scholarships, as well as other intercollegiate sports opportunities for women, have increased dramatically and will continue to do so. According to Mary Jo Kane, director of the Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sports, at University of Minnesota, “Title IX (Federal legislation mandating equal opportunity for males and females) fundamentally changed the landscape of sports, because without it, we wouldn’t be where we are. In one generation we have gone from young girls hoping there is a team to young girls hoping they can make the team.”


      Sports scholarships are awarded to women in 24 college sports from archery to field hockey, lacrosse to soccer, rowing to water polo. Sports called “emerging sports” by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), offer additional opportunities to females. These sports are so new to intercollegiate competition that even young women who have little or no proficiency in one of these sports find that their athletic backgrounds can sometimes get them recruited by college coaches trying to fill their rosters. Archery, badminton, bowling, equestrian, rugby, squash, synchronized swimming and team handball are all emerging sports.


      Laying to rest the sports myths is an important step for young women interested in playing collegiate sports. But it is not enough. You cannot afford to sit back and wait to be recruited. It is up to you to market yourself—to grab the attention of college coaches and cause them to begin recruiting you.

      Penny Hastings is the co-author (along with her son Todd Caven) of How To Win A Sports Scholarship, 3rd edition (Redwood Creek Publishing, 2007, 192 pages, $24.95), a step-by-step guide for high school and 2-year college student-athletes who want to play their sport in college and help pay their college expenses, too. Hastings gives presentations and workshops to student-athletes and their parents, guidance counselors, coaches and others interested in helping kids learn about college sports and how to play the recruiting game successfully. Hastings can be reached at penny@winasportsscholarship.com or visit the website: www.winasportscholarship.com. Hastings is also the author of Sports For Her, A Reference Guide for Teenage Girls (Greenwood Publishing, 1999), which is currently being revised for a softcover 2nd edition by Redwood Creek Publishing (www.winasportscholarship.com).
