Track Stars on the Rise
Watching Usain Bolt run during the past two Summer Olympic Games has been a once (well, twice) in a lifetime experience. He has the perfect physique for a dominating sprinter: long legs, a slim frame and an explosion out of the blocks that is world-class in itself. Not to mention, he has a blistering middle and ending kick!
But alas, he now has two challengers that will make him a little nervous come next race…and they hail from Europe.
Although, I’d bet Usain isn’t going to worry about any newly discovered running adversaries mentioned to him today…
P.S. God Bless ‘Em!

For all of the fans who will make their way to stadiums to support their team, hopefully they will be filled with lots of enjoyment. While today is a work day, that doesn’t mean that people won’t find a way to get to the ballpark. Below is a short clip of the happiness that comes with watching a baseball game on a sunny afternoon in the one and only Wrigley Field.
And remember: Save Ferris!

Inspiration can transform mediocrity into greatness. Sometimes, this can be accomplished with a motivational thirty seconds from the “skipper” himself. Being proud of a win, he will speak as if the entire world is anxiously awaiting his infinite words of wisdom. Thankfully, I have located such a moment that happened to be recorded…for a movie.
Take a deep breath and prepare yourself to listen to a speech that transcends everything we know about the world (or at least comes pretty close).

Today is March 31st and officially Opening Day of Major League Baseball. The Houston Astros host the Texas Rangers tonight for the first game of the 2013 season. Accordingly, coaches and players are finalizing their lineups and strategies for the first few games. Cohesion is vital for clubs that want to perform at the highest level. It’s essential that everybody be on the same page. Once the first pitch is thrown, all the members of the team need to have, “all hands on deck.”
What happens if there is a discrepancy? Hopefully, there is a leader who can take his teammates through any mutinies. Otherwise, it could be “bad news.”
