Indisputable phenomenon with the ball at his feet but, according to some, even with the hypothetical big tennis player. Cristiano Ronaldo was chosen by Boris Becker as a football player that could be expressed well in the court: “Tennis is a very demanding sport – Becker said on CNN- very physical demanding, For this reason I think that Ronaldo is cut out for this sport also for the readiness of his reaction.”

Inter and Juventus both want to win today this game, not only because it is considered to be the derby of Italy but for other reasons far more important. Stramaccioni want to win to be confirmed on the Inter bench and his players because they know that winning it would give a meaning much more positive in their championship. Conte wants to win to continue to maintain a strong pressure on opponents and increase the team’s belief really be able to achieve any success playing with anger and determination. It’s really the game of the motivation, where it win will who has the desire to give up until the referee blows the whistle at the end of the match. Everyone is looking for the great results, of course for the three points, but also to prove to themselves that they are the strongest.
Start the new season of athletics and the sports world is facing a new ethical problem: Pistorius could compete in a meeting if he will be invited? We know that he is accused of killing his girlfriend and that he defends himself saying that he thought it was a thief. From a legal standpoint the judge who is following the case said it may leave South Africa as long as they present the travel plan. Someone will invite you to advertise his meeting? Does Pistorius want to race? His manager, Van Zyl, says that next week, will speak with him and his coach about his future.
I hope that the process will soon make!
Foot Solidaire (http://www.footsolidaire.org/#) is an internationally operating non-profit organization with the goal of protecting young soccer players from exploitation and trafficking due to their love of the game.
Predominantly in West Africa, but in other areas as well there are people posing as soccer agents or talent scouts that scam young players and their families. They promise the player (usually only about 16 years old) tryouts with professional European clubs and generally charge the equivalent of $2000. This usually means that the boys family will give the fake agent their entire savings, even selling their homes and businesses in order to provide their son with this opportunity. The “agent” then takes the money and flies the boy into Europe somewhere…and abandons him. These young men find themselves in foreign countries with nothing – no money, nowhere to live, and no means of contacting their family or getting back home.
Foot Solidaire works directly with the boys that find their way into the Paris metropolitan area as well as working with governments and soccer organizations to raise awareness and to make it as difficult as possible for these fake agents to keep working. Foot Solidaire is currently dedicating itself to a program of information dispersal, education, and the creation of positive soccer programs for young players in Africa.

It could say that emphasize the Tiger Woods sport greatness is part of the rhetoric a bit boring praising the champions when after so many personal problems back to be number 1. He was destroyed by gossip about his private life with the publication of text messages that were exchanged with his numerous lovers, giving 300 million divorcing from his wife, he had physical problems, he went on television to apologize for his misbehaviors with his wife, he fell to 59th place in the world rankings but he wanted to start again. It took three years but now he is the first.
I am convinced that it is a great achievement, made in an individual sport where the responsibility of each result is exclusively yours. Woods had certainly put himself in this terrible situation, he admitted the mistake, he humbled himself because he could not do well what he first excelled. But he did not repudiate the reality that it was made of poor performance and a slow slide to the bottom, he did not give up to lose in the eyes of all his fans, sponsors and media. He showed that it was no more the winning Tiger Woods but another player who did not only win the tournaments but it was relegated to 60° position. The sport and human greatness lies precisely in this, he has not given up to humiliate himself and he has not given up to train to get back to being who he was. This did not happen in a short time, it took three years, but he is now once again the number 1. Woods could retire now, because he did it to have a new golf life at the top or continue to break new records, depends only on his desire for greatness.
Never as like during this season there have been so many expulsions of coaches in Italian football Premiere League. The phenomenon reflects a level of occupational stress that coaches often have difficulty controlling and consequently the field during the matches inveigh against referees. What might be the causes:
Pressure – there is a strong demand from the Club managers and fans to win and the result and also the inability of the Clubs to allow, with rare exceptions, at the coach to work on targets that are not only those of the next game.
Insecurity – the effect is that the coach will likely exonerated if he loses a few games or if he is not meet the expectations of the president.
Exposure – the coaches are daily on the newspapers and sports broadcasts. Around them spread a continuous gossip exposes their choices to the ongoing discussion of the public and journalists, which are interrupted only during the game to get up immediately after, during the post-game interviews.
Under these conditions it is not easy to carry out their work and certainly for the coaches can be useful to engage in activities of coaching in order to improve their ability to manage the stress they need to cope of during their job. On the other hand this is an approach used by the managers of the companies to improve their own leadership.

Chinese people are pretty skinny when compared with Americans and Europeans, so exercise is more about socializing than about burning calories. Badminton and basketball are common street sports, and students perform daily group calisthenics. The parks are full of spry senior citizens who can be found practicing tai chi, walking backward, and vigorously slapping their arms, torso, and thighs (improving circulation, of course). Line dancing and ballroom dancing in parks are especially popular among women—the tinny blare of Communist folk tunes over a loudspeaker will always evoke summer evenings in the courtyard of my Beijing apartment.
