Yoga, traditionally an Eastern discipline of strengthening, stretching and breathing exercises and poses, has been on the rise in the West for some time now. Every city across America has a yoga studio, some with many studios, and some even offering many different styles and levels of yoga workouts.
We know you’ve been trying to bend it like Beckham (too old?). We’ve seen you working on those mad skills, but what we haven’t seen is you caring for your knees. This word might be new to those who like to live on the edge, so let’s define it first: a knee is the part joining your thighs to your legs — it’s the round and fragile medium that looks like the back of Uncle Fester’s neck. Please moisturize.
Cuando crecí jugando al fútbol juvenil tuve compañeros cuyos padres les daban dinero cuando marcaban. No recibían grandes sumas, pero tal vez 5-10 dólares por gol. Cuando me enteré de esto, me enfadé. Por ejemplo, ¿por qué no ganaba dinero por marcar? Pero más seriamente, me preocupaba que algunos de mis compañeros estuvieran más interesados en anotar ellos mismos que en ayudar a que el equipo anote. Entonces, ¿deberían los padres pagar a sus hijos por marcar goles en el fútbol juvenil?
Willian did something truly outrageous in the FA Cup against Hull City last week: an elastico pass to Cesc Fabregas.
This move looks damn near impossible for humans who aren't full Brazil internationals playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world, but, though practice, it can be achieved in five easy steps:
Haters think Cristiano Ronaldo is just lucky.
You might not, but plenty of people do. So many, in fact, that it's fair to say that the collective "you" of the Internet hates on Ronaldo almost constantly because he is lucky, a poacher, and many other things that don't have much to do with skill. Apparently, like so many super models, Ronaldo has bedded Lady Luck and now she plays exclusively in his favor.
One of the things I am most proud of as a soccer player is my first touch, which is as pure and soft as driven snow – not to mention as controlled as those terrifying door-opening dog robots that are eventually going to kill us all.
You, like me, probably think you have a pretty good first touch. Every footballer thinks they have a good first touch. It's like thinking you're a good driver. You think you're like the folks in the videos below.
Injuries are a part of sports. So it’s only fitting that as you train for soccer, you should also train to avoid injuries. Injury prevention for kids is particularly critical as over 1.5 million kids injure their knees and ankles every year. ACL injuries in kids especially are on the rise, with a 400% increase in the last decade.
Cuando se trata de atraer a los mejores talentos a tu club o liga juvenil, controla lo que puedas controlar y el resto se encargará de sí mismo. Suena fácil, ¿verdad? Bueno, no siempre es sencillo saber dónde concentrarse para reclutar jugadores jóvenes, especialmente si quieres a los mejores.
Nos sentamos con varios directores de clubes experimentados para averiguar en qué se centran para reclutar a jóvenes jugadores con talento (y a sus familias) para sus organizaciones.
Ask any soccer player what injury they dread the most and the likely answer is going to be either an ACL tear or a concussion. A rightfully-invigorated focus on concussions in particular has been brought on in recent years by the issues coming to light in the NFL. The frequency with which they occur, the fear they invoke, and the serious long term damage they may inflict have led a number of medical institutes to undergo extensive research into how to decrease the prevalence of head injuries.
