Posted on January 14, 2023 by thesportsarchives

Throwing a sports game event or party at your home is a great way to enjoy the space you live in with a group of family and/or friends. Dressing up the home though is one way you can level up the experience for everyone attending, whether it’s a regular sports game of your beloved team or it’s a big event like the Olympics.

If you’ve been tasked with throwing a sporting event or game at your home, then here are some top tips for dressing the home for the occasion.

Choose colors based on the team or event

Depending on the team colors or designs, it’s worth scoping out some decor options that match up with the colors. Even better, if the team is up against one or more, you might want to represent those colors both in the home and ask guests to dress up too.

Adding some color to pay tribute to your team that is being supported is a great way to dress the space and it’ll certainly help create the atmosphere you want when inviting others to the home.

Get some decorative bunting

Decorative bunting is an absolute must-have and there are lots of options to try out. If you’re someone who wants to fly the flags or show off to the neighborhood that you are in fact, having the best gathering ever, decorative bunting is a worthwhile purchase.

For independence bunting & flag options to match every season in the year, it’s worth exploring what’s available online.

Set up the watching area like a home theater

To make the most out of a game, it’s worth finding a setup that will be the most enjoyable when it comes to watching the event. Set up a watching area where the game can be enjoyed without any distractions or anything clambering over and in front of the screen to get to the bathroom.

A home theater-type setup with a projector is always a good idea and having it outside might be a worthwhile option.

Consider adding in a sports bar

Adding a sports bar will always go down a treat with the adults attending the sports game or event. You may want to set one up within the kitchen area of the home or get a mixologist to come in for the afternoon/evening and make drinks suited to the event and whoever is attending.

Create space for ample cheering and celebratory jumping

To help ensure there’s enough room for celebratory cheering and jumping around the room, create space. Pushing back some tables and chairs might be needed to ensure there’s ample space for jumping with excitement without causing any injuries.

Dressing your home for a sports game or event is a worthwhile decision to make if you’re the one hosting the event. Use these tips to make the most out of this occasion and to ensure the home is ready for a lot of fun and laughter. It’s sure an opportunity to make memories too!

The Sports Archives – How To Throw A Fun Game Day With Friends

Posted on January 13, 2023 by thesportsarchives

Sports games are an incredible way of bringing people together and creating excitement amongst young and old generations. For those looking to get back into sports or want to start making it a tradition to watch sports with friends and families, organizing game days is a great way to bring everyone together.

As mentioned by Stephen Troese Jr, it’s exciting to have that love for a sport, whether it be football, baseball, or something more niche and obscure. Whatever it is, bringing together those who also love to celebrate it, can make it much more exciting. Here are some tips for throwing a fun game day with friends.

Dress up if desired

If you’re up for getting dressed up for the occasion in your team’s kit, then make it a theme for everyone who is joining to do so too. It’s always good to throw a game day with friends and have plenty of photo opportunities in your team’s colors.

It might not be necessary for some, but those who are avid purchasers of team shirts or kits, in general, may want to show their support even more by showing up for the game day in the latest gear. 

Stock up on refreshments

To help keep people entertained during the game, make sure there are enough refreshments available for everyone to enjoy. From the kids to the adults, you may want to put on a certain amount of refreshments yourself and ask others to bring along their own drinks so that it doesn’t become too much of an expense for those hosting.

Put on a spread

A spread is a must-have for anyone that’s hosting a game day. It’s not surprising that the build-up to a game and during the game is both thirsty and hungry work. With that being said, you may want to set up a variety of snacks and nibbles that will keep guests well-fed before the main spread comes out.

Think finger foods and bowl food that’s easy enough to eat without having to do too much washing up by the end of it.

Use a projector to watch the game on a larger screen

To help bring the atmosphere of a live game to the living room or the outdoor space of your backyard, look at using a projector. This can help project the game on a larger screen that will make the event itself feel more of a spectacle to be enjoyed by all.

Projectors are fairly cheap nowadays and they’re a great investment to have and take advantage of for these types of at-home events.

Celebrate spending more time with friends – win or lose!

While everyone wants their teams to win all of the time, that sadly isn’t always the case. With that being said, celebrating with friends and spending time with family members over a love for a support is more important – so celebrate!

Throwing a fun game day with friends is a great way to find a renewed love for the sport or sports you follow.

Martial arts can help both students and parents build confidence and self-esteem that lasts a lifetime, in and outside the gym. If you’re experiencing a lapse in motivation, changing your routine can make all the difference. Here are a few strategies to consider, courtesy of The Sports Archive Blog.

Diet

There’s no overstating the importance of diet in affecting mindset and, with so much fast food available to us, it takes real self-discipline and hard work to break the binge cycle. A good place to start is with home cooking. Try to cultivate a list of recipes that makes use of fresh vegetables, nuts, and meat alternatives. With the right combination, you can enjoy a delicious diet and wake up feeling more energetic and motivated.

Career

For many of us, work is at the root of our stress and anxiety. Fortunately, the last few years have opened up new possibilities that allow for flexibility and independence. So you may want to try a resume builder to highlight your skills and give you an advantage over the competition, then see what’s out there!

Alternatively, you could take your industry knowledge and try founding your own business. With a solid business plan, you can apply for investment and set yourself up for a future of self-earning. Make sure it describes your company, details how you’ll sell your services, and outlines a financial forecast. See this start a business guide for more details.

Education

Transitioning to a new career can hold many benefits but it’s not always possible without the right expertise. If you want to pursue a new line of work, a return to education can help you to cultivate the skills you need to succeed. With online degrees, it’s now possible to learn key skills that improve your career prospects without having to attend in person – this means you can more easily fit study around a work schedule.

Community

Collaborating with others is key to building confidence and one of the easiest ways to meet others is to volunteer within your community. Try researching local charities and see if there’s a way you might be of use. Sometimes, shelters need extra hands or you could help organize fundraisers for a worthy cause.

Exercise

There’s no substitute for exercise when it comes to developing a healthy, positive mindset. Finding the motivation to get out and move after a long day at work can be difficult but, thankfully, there are strategies to help. Start small, by using stairs instead of elevators or by walking for some of your commute, then work your way up. Light or low-impact exercise still counts and with momentum on your side, you can soon upgrade to more intensive activities.

Therapy

If you find that the stress of daily life becomes overwhelming, it might be necessary to seek professional help. As we work to destigmatize mental health, many are turning to therapy as a method for dealing with issues of the past and moving into the future with renewed positivity. Seeking help is made easier by the advent of online therapy. This is a more secure, private option and can represent less of a commitment as you won’t have to travel to sessions. Before opting in with one particular service, make sure they offer a free consultation so you can be comfortable you’ve found the right professional.

To navigate the many challenges of modern life, it’s important to build confidence. Sometimes, this might require a small adjustment, and sometimes, it might involve huge changes to our lifestyle. Either way, make sure you’ve done plenty of research in advance and that you act on your problems with conviction.

The Sports Archives – Choosing Your Sport: Which Will Tick Your Boxes?

Posted on December 6, 2022 by thesportsarchives

Some of us love sports and are heavily involved in sports from childhood. But others amongst us do come to sports at a later age. If you’re considering getting into sports, you may be struggling to figure out which sport is for you. While some of us have a natural inclination to specific sports, many of us will have to go through a process of trial and error until we find something that fits us well and ticks all of our boxes. Here are some areas of focus that can help you to determine which sport will best suit you!

Spectator Sport vs. Active Sport

First, you need to decide whether you’re choosing a sport to watch or a sport to play. If you’re choosing a sport to watch, the world is your oyster. You can pick any game and get fully involved in it, watching on TV, keeping up on the radio, attending games and matches and more. If you’re looking to play a sport, however, you may need to be more realistic and personalised with your options. While anyone can play any sport, you may want to consider which you are likely to excel in based on your personal character and physical traits. If you’re better suited to non contact, you’re not likely to choose football. If you hate running, baseball might not be for you.

Merch and Collectibles

Pretty much every sport comes hand in hand with a bunch of merch. If you enjoy collecting merch, you’ll likely found something to enjoy with any sport. However, some sports do tend to have more valuable and harder to find collectibles than others. For example, some sports have specialist collector cards that you can get into. ​​Kevin Burge Sports Cards can highlight an impressive collection. Baseball tends to be the sport with the most extensive range and most costly collection of cards out there. The current record for the most expensive sports card, for example, is the 1952 Mickey Mantle baseball card which sold for a huge US$12.6 million.

Locality

You may find it easier to get involved in a sport that is more easily accessible in your local area. Sure, many people travel miles on a regular basis to attend games and events, but life is a lot easier if you choose something that you are already near to. Take a look at local stadiums or sports centres in your area and see what kind of games and matches they host. Take a look at game times and league schedules to find something that works well with your schedule. Of course, you can always catch up on most games online or through streaming platforms, but being able to watch a game at the same time as everyone else and not falling prey to spoilers can make the entire thing more exciting.

These are just a few areas of focus to start out with, but hopefully, each will guide you on your journey towards choosing the right sport to tick all of your boxes!

The Sports Archives – How Kettlebell Training can Improve Sports Performance

Posted on December 2, 2022 by thesportsarchives

Are you looking for a way to gain a competitive advantage on the sports field or track? The answer could lie in the posterior chain, a range of muscle groups on the body’s backside used for power, strength, and performance; you can train the posterior chain more effectively using kettlebells that train the muscle groups using weight, natural movement, and improved recovery. 

Posterior Chain 

The posterior chain includes different muscle groups on the backside of the body; these are the hamstrings, glutes, lats, calves, and others. A strong posterior chain boosts sporting and athletic performances, but it’s not always easy to train or strengthen them using conventional weights. 

Fixed weights and free weights can improve strength and flexibility in these areas when used correctly, but they have their limitations. Kettlebells offer more naturalistic training for these areas due to their range of motion. Athletes improve posterior strength for speed and strength.    

Killer Cardio 

Kettlebell snatches are an excellent way to build cardio strength and reduce body fat, as well as increase posterior strength more effectively than any other weight training or sporting activity. Kettlebell snatches involve swinging the weight from a raised position under the legs and back. 

Kettlebells are renowned for their ability to burn fat and improve cardio in gyms for sports and other activities. Kettlebell snatches work the entire body with intense naturalistic movements that are more common in sports. These exercises build the best core strength.  

Active Recovery 

Kettlebell workouts are excellent for active recovery. Some athletes and sportspeople work out two or three times a week and spend the other days recuperating, but that isn’t always the best way to improve strength and conditioning. Some light training in between can be helpful as well. 

On recovery days, you don’t want to train your muscles as this with simply tire them out further and lead to fatigue instead of resilience. However, some light kettlebell workouts help to stimulate blood flow to key areas improving the ability of the muscles to heal and build strength.      

Combination Workouts 

Forget about abandoning your ordinary regime and adopting a kettlebell-only workout; it doesn’t work like that; instead, kettlebells offer an excellent combination training option that supports strength training by offering alternative movements and light exercising during recovery times.  

Some popular kettlebell exercising includes The Turkish Get Up, The Windmill, The Pushpress, the Renegade Row, and many others. Use these popular kettlebell workouts in combination with conventional training to improve posterior strength and boost your performance on the field.   

Focused Workouts 

Combination exercises teach us that kettlebells offer a nice supporting activity for a diversity of training, but kettlebells can also stand on their own and offer a dedicated training option that improves strength and performance without sacrificing the gains from the many regular regimes. 

If you are unconvinced, try a dedicated month of kettlebell exercises. All you need to do is swap your focus from conventional training to kettlebell exercises for a month and notice the difference. Chances are, they will be no drop in performance; conversely, you should find gains.

The Sports Archives – New York Mets Win the 1969 World Series

Posted on October 13, 2022 by thesportsarchives

1969 New York Mets

The New York Mets and the Baltimore Orioles met for the 1969 World Series, and everyone was expecting the Orioles would prove to be the stronger team. Not only were they one of the teams that was expected to compete in the World Series from early in the season, but the Mets were not even expected to get this far! It was remarkable they had made the World Series, and now they were expected to lose out to a vastly superior team. However, the likes of Donn Clendenon and coach Yogi Berra had other ideas.

Why was this such an amazing triumph? If we are going to talk about the 1969 World Series in isolation, you may be wondering that fact. The Mets won four out of the five games. There have been a ton of World Series events that were closer than this matchup. The Mets proved they were the superior team, and they got their first World Series as a franchise. On that record, you would think it was a run of the mill win. Then why does everyone refer to that season as a Cinderella story? Why are the Mets often regarded as one of the greatest upset teams in baseball history?

To understand these characterizations, we have to look at the Mets history. This is a team that was still new to the baseball world. This was a team that had never achieved a winning season before 1969. That is right – every season for the Mets before 1969 was a losing season. They had some promising rosters in the past, but they would always lose more games than they would win. All of that changed in 1969, and it changed in the most dramatic way possible. Not only did the Mets finally have a winning season, but they went on to win everything.

The Mets were an expansion team in the league. They still hold the record as the first expansion team to ever win a World Series. They had only existed for eight years after that season concluded. The previous seven were losing seasons, as they were still getting to grips with Major League Baseball. There were a host of teams in a better position to win the World Series. And if anyone expected a New York win, it was the Yankees they fancied, not the Mets. But that would be the Mets’ year!

It was a remarkable season for the Mets, where they finished with 100 wins and 62 losses. Even leading up to the World Series, they had lost more games than the Orioles. They were the underdogs, the team that was just meant to enjoy the occasion and let the more seasoned competition get the win. But their players knew it was a special roster, that Mets team. They knew their camaraderie, team spirit and tactics were good enough to win. And that is precisely what they did. They showed us their best qualities, and they emerged as World Series winners in their eighth year of being a baseball team!

The Sports Archives – Go From Newbie to a Gym Regular With This Helpful Guide

Posted on September 27, 2022 by thesportsarchives

If you want to go from being a gym newbie to a full regular, then this is the guide for you. Here you can find out what you can do to overcome some of the mental barriers that you have when it comes to going to the gym, so you can get the best result out of your fitness regime. If you want to find out more then the only thing that you have to do is take a look below.

Get Good at One Thing

One reason why you may feel as though you look out of place whenever you go to the gym is because you don’t feel as though you are doing things properly. Other people may well be picking up on it as well. If you can, you have to try and pick one thing so you can work on it over and over again. If you can do this before you move on to something new, then you may find that you can give yourself a real confidence boost, and this can work in your favour. Focus on the exercises that you love to do in the earlier days, and remember, there is not a single way for you to work out. The best fitness plans are ones that you enjoy as well as ones that you can be consistent with. If you choose an exercise because you think that it’ll get you good results, then this is great, but if you hate doing it then you won’t be doing yourself any favours at all. If you want to improve your cardio or if you want to workout outside more, then getting a Sunmono E-Bike could be a really good idea.

Wear What Makes You Feel Good

There is nothing better than wearing clothes that make you feel good and invigorated. If you can, you need to do this before your workout, or the night before. If you feel confident in the clothes that you are wearing then this can go a long way, so go ahead and treat yourself to a new outfit or even a pair of leggings. This will help you more than you realise and it will also give you the inspiration you need to push yourself harder at the gym and work harder for your health in general.

Make Friends

Do you ever notice those subtle nods that gym-goers give each other when they arrive at the gym? If So, then you need to try and copy it yourself. Make an effort to say hello and give the front desk worker a greeting too. This will make you feel a little less awkward about walking in and it will also help you to really get to know people. You may also find that it can help you to forge new relationships and the great thing about this is that it will ease you into your fitness journey.

So why not see if it is possible for you to get the result you want out of your gym experience today by simply trying to follow the above tips?

The Sports Archives – 5 Things You Can Do To Improve Your Lifestyle and Health

Posted on September 17, 2022 by thesportsarchives

Creating a healthy lifestyle starts with self-reflection. What do you see in your life that could use improvement? What makes you feel less than satisfied on a daily basis? If you can pinpoint the things that make you unhappy, you can start to make the changes you need. Here are a few healthy adjustments you can make now, presented below by The Sports Archives Blog.

  1. Develop a New Fitness Routine

Physical fitness is a major component of overall well-being. If you haven’t already developed a fitness routine or you think it’s time to try something new, this is an obvious first step in improving your health. If you’re a person who thrives with a routine, you can join a gym or take some classes, but if you need a little less structure to maintain, there are simple ways to be more active throughout the day. Go for a walk after work or during your break or take the stairs instead of the elevator. Work outside in your garden every afternoon. Fitness doesn’t have to be boring.

  1. Create a Mental Health Plan

Your mental health is just as significant as physical health. Just like you see a medical professional for a physical ailment, you need a mental health professional for your emotional issues. If mental illness contributes to any negative feelings in your life, you can get help from a mental health expert online. Several online platforms offer access to therapists and other mental health experts. You can see a variety of licensed professionals and save the time it would take you to travel for an in-person visit. You can find someone with expertise in the specific help you need and even schedule a free consultation to make sure it is a match.

  1. Make Your Home a Peaceful Oasis

Home is where you should feel comfortable and at ease. You can start creating an environment more conducive to peace by decluttering. If the process feels overwhelming, start with a single room and work your way through the house. Research shows that getting rid of clutter and appreciating a minimalist approach to decorating can help you avoid overstimulation and reduce stress. Create a space where you can meditate quietly, and clean out areas of the house that have bothered you. For example, A Beautiful Mess suggests re-arranging cabinets and closets to be more organized.

  1. Treat Yourself Once in a While

Retail therapy can work wonders. If you have some extra spending money, the Organic Matters Blog recommends treating yourself to something you’ve been wanting. You don’t have to earn it first. Treat yourself mentality isn’t about rewards. As long as you have the money to spend without damaging your financial stability, you deserve a treat every now and then.

Consider adding a few items of clothing to your wardrobe, clothes that make you feel and look your best. Look for comfortable clothes that don’t sacrifice style, such as a dress, leggings or a jumpsuit. Splurge a little and pick well-designed items that are made of breathable fabric that’s also stretchy, like bamboo fabric.

  1. Practice Being Kind to Yourself

Take time each day to reflect on the things you like about yourself. Then, practice being grateful for the blessings in your life. Be mindful of the moments when you feel down on yourself about something and take the time to say some words of affirmation to lift yourself back up. It only takes a few moments out of your day to stop and think about the good things in your life.

Not every health-conscious choice you make is going to stick. You’ll have ups and downs in your health journey. The key to success is persistence. If you try something that isn’t working for you, throw it out and reevaluate.

The Sports Archives – How To Find Your Fitness Motivation

Posted on September 3, 2022 by thesportsarchives

bodybuilding

Everything in life is a lot easier when you are fit and healthy. Even though we all know this, sometimes it’s hard to get motivated to get healthier and fitter, especially when we’re busy with other things and don’t have much time for anything else. But because so much depends on how well we take care of our health, we also need to make sure that we stay motivated. Here are some ways to get and keep the drive to work out.

Photo by Victor Freitas

Exercise With A Friend

When you work out with a friend, your motivation goes through the roof. It’s also good for both of you, so you’re helping someone out while doing something good for yourself.

When you work out with a partner, you can push each other to the next level and help each other reach your next goal. Also, when someone else is looking out for you, you will have to be held accountable. For example, it will be harder to skip an early morning run if someone is counting on you to go with them on theirs.

Hire A Personal Trainer

Taking that last idea a step further, why not hire a personal trainer? Again, you’ll have to answer to someone, but you’ll also know that you’re working out the right way for you if an expert makes you a personalized training plan. Follow their instructions while they are right there with you, and you’ll know you’re going to do well. That’s a good way to get yourself going.

Buy The Right Clothes

It may seem unusual, but once you have bought a good set of gym gear to work out in, your motivation will grow. Not only will you not want to waste the cash you spent on these clothes, but wearing them will make you feel much more prepared to go for a run, utilize your home treadmill, use your weight plates (you can learn more about them here), or even go to the gym if possible.

The more you like the clothes you bought for yourself, the more you’ll look forward to wearing them, and the more prepared you’ll be for your exercise regime, whatever shape or form it takes. They say that ‘clothing maketh the man,’ and when it comes to staying in shape, clothes really make a difference for both men and women.

Set Achievable Goals

One of the biggest problems with getting fit is that there are no goals. Without goals, you don’t know what you want to get out of it, which can make it hard to stay motivated. On the other hand, you might have set goals that are much longer-term and harder to reach. When you don’t reach them as quickly as you wanted or thought you would, your motivation can start to slip.

Goals are important to keep moving in the right direction, but they should be small and easy to reach. Once you reach one, you’ll feel much more motivated and be ready to move on to the next one right away.
