Athletes in the Business World

10 April, 2010 (18:58) | Athletics News | By: Chino

Athletes are not only for athletics, they also have a huge potential in being hired in a business interview or being promoted in a company. A sales guru, Jeffrey Gitomer said that his employees who play sports are the one who performs best.

I agree to Gitomer. Being an athlete you have certain qualities that give you advantage from other co-employees. The following are personal observations:

    ?athletes know the sense of teamwork
    ?they are goal oriented people
    ?they have proper motivation in finishing a task
    ?they apply strategies to be more effective

The Bears would not go quietly in game two. They jumped on the board early with a leadoff double from Kevin Rawls and a single from Chris Davis, taking an early 1-0 lead. They would get another in the fourth thanks to a double from ex-Bulldog Jonathan Yerby, who then advanced to third after a walk and a hit batter and scored on a wild pitch from Alan Knotts to make it 2-0. Lorio and Richard would hold off the Bears in the eighth and ninth with some help from catcher Matt Combs, who nailed a would-be base stealer in the ninth to keep the tying run from getting into scoring position and sealing the victory.

The excitement  is on Washington Sports.   Even just the practice of the football team  is prioritized  against seeing or listening  to Dalai Lama’s presentation.   Listening to Dalai Lama could have benefited  them, but some don’t want to miss a thing.   For the football enthusiast,  this would rather worth their time.

 Tyler Bray started LC’s game-winning rally with a two-out single. He moved to second on a single by Cole Bishop and scored on a short single to center by freshman catcher Anthony Benoit. A good throw likely would have gotten Bray at the plate, but the center fielder’s throw was up the line, allowing Bray to score easily.

“We’re not going to out-fancy anybody,” Byrnes said. “We have to beat you by doing all the little things.”

Dustin Tubre (1-1) was the winning pitcher for LC, allowing a run over the last two innings. Tim Flasik (0-2) was tagged with the loss for the second consecutive game. Flasik allowed one run over two innings of relief work.

“We used a lot of pitchers today and they threw a lot of pitchers,” Byrnes said. “We walked more (eight) than we wanted but the guys hung tough.”

Athletics: Gender Talks

27 August, 2009 (18:39) | Athletics News | By: Chino

gender-talks.jpg

Ever since, when referred to athletics, usually we immediately can think of sports events having played by males. But nowadays, females can do what males do. But what’s behind the issue of athletes having gender change?

Yvonne Buschbaum was one of the athletes who preferred to have a sex change. She claimed that she experienced mental imbalance. She doesn’t want anymore to live in a woman’s body but still feeling like a man.

Decisions like this in athletics are not unusual. For me, what matters is their dedication in what they do. As long as they can do their passion, there’s nothing wrong right? They’re indeed inspiring individuals.

What’s Behind Athlete’s Foot

27 July, 2009 (18:26) | Athletics Health Issue | By: Chino

What comes to your mind when you hear athlete’s foot? For me, I define athlete’s foot as a foot that is stinky. I only assume its meaning because I imagined what the foot of athletes is. So I arrived to the idea that having an athlete’s foot is having a stinky foot. But I am definitely wrong!

Athlete’s foot is a common infection in skin. It is called athlete’s foot because athletes are the ones who usually have this. But this is not exclusive only for athletes; anyone of us can have this especially those who often wear shoes and having wet feet.
