The Sports Archives – Getting An Autograph From A Superstar Like Jose Bautista!

Posted on August 17, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Jose BautistaGetting an autograph is always an amazing experience. A signature on a baseball card, bat or other piece of memorabilia makes it special. If you are looking to get an autograph, how would you go about doing so? There are many options available to you if you really want that signature.

Stand Near The Playing Field Before Or After A Game

Getting an autograph is usually easier if you are able to get near the player. Many players will give out autographs before and after games. There may even be specific areas where select players will sign autographs outside of the stadium before a game. However, it is rare that you would get a Jose Bautista autograph at an autograph session before the game. If you can’t be at the stadium, you may be able to snag an autograph at a charity dinner or if you happen to see the player out in public.

Send Fan Mail To The Player

A direct request for an autograph may work out well depending on who the player is. Keep in mind that you need to come across as a genuine fan of the player. Players know when people are seeking out autographs just to sell them on the Internet. Make sure that you are sending something that can be autographed to ensure that you get something signed. Not all players are willing to send you something on their own. Including an envelope with your address and a stamp on it is also a nice nudge for the player to write back.

Send A Message Using Social Media

Getting a Jose Bautista autograph could be as easy as sending him a message through social media. Players love hearing messages from their fans as they go from stadium to stadium. It is usually seen as a nice gesture to offer autographs and other incentives to become a follower of a particular player. Superstar players tend to have large followings by default. Offering to send an autograph or tickets to a game to anyone who sends an athlete a tweet makes fans feel important.

Use Your Social Connections

You may know someone who knows someone who knows an athlete. Perhaps you have a family member who works at an airport that the team or player frequently uses. That connection can be enough to get an autograph from your favorite player. The key here is to be patient as the process plays out. No one likes to be hounded for things. Your friend or relative could potentially put their job in jeopardy by asking for an autograph. However, most athletes don’t mind signing things every so often.

Autographs from famous athletes are fun to collect. The trick is to be patient, respect their personal space and use tact when you request the signature. If you can do that, you should have no problem getting at least one autograph from your favorite player. The autograph will be something that you can display for the rest of your life.

The Sports Archives – Dragon Boat Racing – One Of The World’s Fastest Growing Team Water Sports!

Posted on August 10, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Dragon boating is a water sport that is recognized for the strength, endurance, and team spirit that participants share. All over the world, tens of thousands of athletes participate in dragon boat festivals each year. There are also thousands of people involved in dragon boat clubs and organizations. Today this exciting water sport is among the fastest growing team water sports in the world.

History of Dragon Boats

For centuries, dragon boats have been popular in Asia, however, its worldwide popularity and dragon boat festivals are a relatively new development. Approximately 2,400 years ago dragon boating emerged in China. Originally, various groups would gather in Chinese communities to celebrate the end of the planting season. There is a legend that says that in the fourth century, a well-known scholar and poet threw himself into the Mi Lo River as an act of protest against political corruption. In an effort to rescue the man, local fishermen paddled ferociously but were unsuccessful in their efforts to reach him before he drowned. In honor of the man’s memory and the rescue attempt, each year Chinese citizens re-enacted the event which resulted in the development of dragon boat racing.

A Team Water Sport

Dragon boating is a team sport that promotes team spirit. The actual dragon boat is a long and narrow boat with 10 rows of seats designed to hold two paddlers. There is also seating in the front for a drummer for pacing and a steersperson spot, or ‘tiller’ or ‘sweep’, in the back of the boat. Boats certified by the International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF) are 9 and 12 meters long. There are many different designs and sizes of wooden dragon boats used in the traditional dragon boat festivals. Developing the paddling technique takes effort and numerous drills to master but the technique itself is easy to learn.

The Dragon Boat Race

A dragon boat crew will paddle a 300 to 1000 pound dragon boat through the water. Dragon Boat races take place over a 200 to 2500 meter course. It takes on average approximately two and a half minutes for a twenty paddler crew minutes to paddle a 500 meter race. Many paddlers say the whole paddling experience is quite spiritual. When preparing for a dragon boat race, teams first stage on shore and then load their boats and paddle out to the starting point. A Starter and a Chase Boat will align the boats. Once aligned, there are 3 commands issued. The typical start commands are similar to the following:

  1. Starter has the race! – This signals that the start is about to happen.
  2. Attention, Paddlers! OR Attention, Please!
  3. We have alignment  – The boats are aligned and ready to go.

Once the commands are issued, the starting horn is sounded and the teams begin the race. Dragon boat racing first emerged in Vancouver, BC where the sport is extremely popular and it extends all the way down to Tampa Bay, Florida with thousands of places in between that have teams participating in the exciting water sport.

The Sports Archives – Cheap At Half the Price!

Posted on August 7, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Good-quality football boots do not come cheap…just ask any mum whose offspring want the latest ‘must haves’ from Nike, Puma or Adidas.

But just how pricey can they get?

Rio Ferdinand decided to commission the most expensive football boots in Britain, when he organised a charity auction of match boots worn by himself, Wayne Rooney and John Terry in aid of his Live the Dream Foundation.

Between them, the three pairs of boots were emblazoned with 7,500 precious jewels, including diamonds and rubies, and raised £60,000 for underprivileged children.

For the record, Rooney’s Nike boots made £18,000, Terry’s Umbros £20,000, and Ferdinand’s own Nike Total 90s – gold tipped laces and all – raised £22,000.

Terry’s signed Umbro Speciali boots included sapphires and white and black diamonds; Rooney’s Total 90 Laser II’s featured his famous number 10 moulded out of rose gold, while Ferdinand’s were customised with graffiti by none other than musician and film producer Goldie – not to mention 43 carats of diamonds and rubies.

But the prize for most expensive piece of football memorabilia ever must go to the match ball signed by each member of the 2006 World Cup winning Italian team.

The black, white and gold Adidas +Teamgeist raised an unbelievable $2.4 million in aid of the Reach Out To Asia outreach programme, a charity aimed at helping educational and community projects in Asia and Qatar.

Not quite in the same league, but:

Pele’s 1970 World Cup final football shirt sold at Christie’s ten years ago for £157,750. Geoff Hurst’s ’66 jersey made £91,750 at auction, and England team-mate Alan Ball’s shirt went for £51,775.

The World Cup Winner’s medal won by Nobby Stiles sold for £188,200 – it was bought by his old club Manchester United.

George Best’s 1968 European Cup winner’s medal was sold by Bonhams after his death for £156,000.

  • Collecting football memorabilia is big business…and can make big money.

An official programme – the ‘United Review’ – from their match against Ipswich Town in 1958 sold for £4,700.

A ticket for Aston Villa v Liverpool in the ‘English Cup Semi-Final’ on March 28th, 1914 – “Kick off 3.30. No guarantee is given that the proposed match will be played” – went for £1,500 at auction.

Issued – one has to wonder why? – by Tottenham Hotspur Football and Athletic Company Ltd – the original price for seat number 217 was 5/-…(five shillings,) or 25 pence in today’s money.

The Sports Archives – What’s In a Name?

Posted on August 6, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Red Devils, Toffees, Hatters, Gunners, Blades, Canaries….English football clubs have a plethora of nicknames beloved by their supporters.

But how did they come about?

Many revolve around team colours – like Manchester United’s Red Devils and Man City’s Sky Blues.

Some come from their home towns and the industry around them, like the hat makers of Luton and the cutlery manufacturers of Sheffield.

And some have monikers whose origins have simply become lost in the mists of time.

Here are a few to whet the appetite:

Everton Toffees – from a sweetshop near their home at Goodison Road

Ipswich Tractor Boys – from local links to agriculture

Not Just a Play on Words

West Ham Hammers – not just a play on words; crossed hammers on the club crest signify iron-making tools used by original founders Thames Ironworks

Southampton Saints – from the local St. Mary’s Church Young Men’s Association

Norwich Canaries – originally due to the local popularity of breeding canaries; also associated with the team’s bright canary yellow strip

Middlesbrough Smoggies – refers to the industrial pollution from steel and chemical plants surrounding the town

Bolton Wanderers Trotters – possibly from their 19th century pitch situated next to a piggery. Players had to ‘trot’ through the pigsties to retrieve wayward balls

Chelsea Pensioners – originally a tribute to the war veterans living at the nearby Royal Chelsea Hospital

West Bromwich Albion Baggies – either from the players’ baggy trousers in the club’s early days, or named after the ‘bagmen’ who carried the matchday takings away from the turnstiles in large leather bags

Charlton Athletic Addicks – a corruption of ‘haddocks’ in reference to the local chip shop

Come On You Blues

Birmingham City Blues – from the colour of the club kit

Sheffield United Blades – from the club’s links to the local steel and cutlery industry

Arsenal Gunners – a reference to the local military arsenal – the club’s founders were workers at the Woolwich Arsenal Armament Factory

Plymouth Argyle Pilgrims – named after those who set sail for the New World from the south coast port

Watford Hornets – from the colour of the strip

Blackpool Seasiders – the club is based in the tourist resort on the northwest coast

Newcastle Magpies – from the black and white home strip; also known as the ‘Toon’ from the local pronunciation of ‘town.’

Stoke City Potters – a reference to the local pottery industry in Staffordshire

The Sports Archives – Stay Fit and Safe with Combat Sports!

Posted on August 4, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Hand-to-hand combat is one of the oldest sports and most popular modern workout regimens for achieving whole-body fitness. Whether you’re craving a toned core or want to learn empowering self-defense skills, Muay Thai and traditional combat sports can accomplish these goals.

What is a Combat Sport?

Combat sports, also called fighting sports, are the purest forms of self-defense and sportsmanship. In these contact sports, two combatants are pitted against each other and challenged to earn enough points for one fighter to be declared the winner. Although combat sports seem rough, all fighters must follow the same rules of engagement. The technical conditions vary depending on the discipline. In some cases, the rules are based on specific challenges, demonstrations or practices. They are typically designed to encourage hand-to-hand engagement that incorporates moves learned through katas and training sessions.

Different Combat Sports

Today, there are many different combat sports. Boxing, kickboxing, wrestling and martial arts are all fighting sports. Some of these sports are modern while others have been practiced for centuries. Most martial arts follow a specific set of rules and traditions. These sports are practiced for self-defense, competition, physical fitness and mental development. Many of these sports require fighters to use only his or her body to perform approved strikes. Other disciplines emphasize swordsmanship and weaponry. For example, boxing is a contest of strength, speed and endurance until a knockout is achieved, or a winner can be declared at the end of the rounds. In swordsmanship, the swordsman must battle an opponent using only a sword. Kickboxing is a group of combat sports that employs traditional kicking and punching moves that are used in martial arts.

Judo is a popular Olympic-level combat sport from Japan that was developed by Jigoro Kano in 1882. The objective in this highly competitive system is to throw the opponent to the ground or to immobilize the competitor using a legal grappling move. Muay Thai is a traditional combat sport that is practiced in Thailand and parts of Asia. This system uses a series of strikes and clinching moves that must be completed while standing.

These sports keep you fit and safe

Any of these combat sports can keep you fit and safe. In fact, these sports can be practiced daily as an alternative to traditional exercise regimens. Regular exercise detoxifies the body, benefits the organs and improves endurance. Combat sports are ideal for improving self-confidence and self-discipline, which can help at work and in many dangerous situations where determination, endurance and self-defense skills are required.

The Sports Archives – Will the Great Britain Football Team Leave Any Sort of Legacy?

Posted on August 3, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Why Was It Done?

David Beckham

David Beckham was not selected for Team Great Britain.

As the United Kingdom, rather than England, was designated as the host nation for the 2012 Olympic Games, it was thought that it would be fitting to have a football team representing the nation this year. Everybody knows that each country in the union represents themselves when playing football at international level, and this was really the first bone of contention when it comes to having a combined team. The “smaller” nations’, or to be more blunt, the nations who aren’t named England, Football Associations were worried that being involved would lead to their FIFA memberships being called into question.

Even without the possibility of such sanctions, people were still left hugely unimpressed. This is partially what led coach Stuart Pearce into picking players only from England or Wales.

Courting Publicity

On the one hand, Pearce looked to remove the circus surrounding the whole footballing furore by not naming David Beckham in his squad. While this seems to be a shrewd move – playing in the American Major League is hardly top-level, I do not care what anyone says – what he has done is actually increase the media scrutiny and left the door wide open for huge criticism if they don’t perform.

Legendary Liverpool manager Bill Shankly once said to Phil Thompson, who had queried why he wasn’t in the team following a heavy defeat: “Did you see how bad they were? Do you really want to have your name associated with that?”

I have a funny feeling that Beckham may be feeling those same sentiments in a week or so!

Does Anyone Care?

Nationalism, at least among the working classes, is currently at an all-time high in the United Kingdom. Ask the man on the street what he thinks about Scottish independence, for example, and the answer will probably be “good luck to them.” Sport in the UK has always been afflicted with the notion of supporting people from another nation. It is why Andy Murray went from British to Scottish in the space of an hour at Wimbledon earlier this month, and why the rivalry between opposing nations in the union, particularly at football and when England is involved, is so fierce.

After all the publicity and fuss surrounding the Team GB football squad, there is likely to be an underwhelming feeling of “meh” felt by the vast majority of the nation both now and in the future, especially as their chances of success appear slim.

The Sports Archives – 2012 International Triathlon Events

Posted on August 2, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Every year, thousands of athletes take part in triathlon events in locations around the world. While many high-profile international triathlons have already taken place this year, there’s still plenty of action to look forward to in the next few months of 2012.

Triathalon

Alpe d’Huez Triathlon

The Sports Archives – Knickerbocker Glory!

Posted on August 1, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Teamed with ‘knickerbocker’ shorts, usually held up by a belt of differing widths, early footballers would wear thick leather football boots and long, woolly socks with shin pads which could be tucked in or worn outside.

Essex County Football Team

Earlier still, when football began to become popular in the 1800s, players would wear their tough, steel-capped work boots, with metal tacks hammered into the sole to provide some kind of grip on slippery grass surfaces.

Purpose-made football boots arrived much later, when entrepreneurs including Adi and Rudolf Dassler realised the potential in creating a whole new industry based around this burgeoning sport.

The brothers laid the foundations for what we know today as Adidas and Puma, two companies renowned worldwide for not only football boots, but for a huge range of apparel and equipment used in sporting activities as wide-ranging as running, rugby, boxing, cricket, hockey and golf.

Worldwide Recognition

The iconic Adidas 3 stripes are recognised throughout the world, and so too is Puma’s leaping cat logo, which can be found on sports clothing, footwear and equipment from Formula 1 to freestyle swimming.

Originally known as Ruda, after founder Ruldolf Dassler, Puma have been associated with some of the most legendary players ever to have pulled on a pair of football boots, including Pelé, Eusébio, Johan Cruyff and Diego Maradonna.

Over the years, Puma sponsorships have included Spurs and Newcastle United, the Irish Rugby Union team, boxing’s Oscar De La Hoya, golf’s Ian Poulter, and Red Bull Racing.

Olympic Sponsors

Adidas – named after Adolf ‘Adi’ Dassler – are sponsors of the London 2012 Olympics, and have been associated with clubs, countries and individuals too numerous to mention, from the England and South Africa cricket teams to the British and Irish Lions, the New Zealand All Blacks, and the victorious Team Sky Cycling, currently riding the crest of a wave after Bradley Wiggin’s incredible performance at the 2012 Tour de France.

Another name that has stood the test of time is Umbro.

Well over 80 years after their initial foray into the sporting world, Umbro are current suppliers of the England team football kit, following on from the first tailored shirts and shorts they provided for the two protagonists in the 1934 FA Cup Final.

Renowned for kitting out all but one of the 1966 world cup sides, they have been official suppliers of the team strip for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.

The Sports Archives – Is Having Sex Really Bad for An Athlete Before a Game?

Posted on July 31, 2012 by thesportsarchives

Do athletes really have to abstain from having sex before a big event?

This is a question many athletes are asked throughout their career. The answers are mixed; some answer “no,” while most answer “yes.” Some say it’s okay to have sex as it won’t affect the way they play; however, there are also those who are adamantly against having sex before a big game. In fact, Muhammad Ali reportedly refused to make love for a month and a half before a fight.

So the question is, is having sex before a big event really bad?

Testosterone and Aggression Talk

One explanation as to why having sex is not good for an athlete before a big event is because it draws testosterone away from the body. Testosterone is a hormone related to aggression. After a man ejaculates, there will be a drop in the testosterone level. So if you want the player to be more aggressive and perform better during a game, he should abstain from having sex. The more pent-up his sexual frustration will be, the more aggressive he’ll be on the field.

However, and this is a very big however, the drop is very insignificant that it doesn’t really affect the testosterone level that much. In fact, studies have already disproved this “explanation” and reduced it to a myth. One study has even proved that having sex actually boosts testosterone levels, so the athlete becomes even more aggressive. The study also showed that it is abstinence from sex that actually decreases testosterone level to that of a child’s testosterone level. Not good at all for aggressive sports such as boxing and football.

Weak-in-the-Knees Talk

Another explanation why many athletes refuse to have sex before a game is because the act of ejaculation often times leave some men feeling drained and weak. Now, this is definitely something that we don’t want. After all, who wants their favorite player to be weak-in-the-knees during the game, right?

However, it should be understood that, although having sex can make one feel weak afterward, the activity is actually not a very demanding one. In fact, some say it’s much like walking up a couple of flights of stairs. Also, making love oftentimes makes one feel rejuvenated.

Of note though; a study has shown that making love still has an effect on the heart rate up to a couple of hours after having sex. With the heart rate affected, the performance of the athlete may also be affected. However, who would be making love a couple of hours or more before a big event? The athlete should be preparing for the game then, not making love.

Sleep Talk

Some coaches urge their players to abstain from having sex before a big game simply because they want their players to be more rested after a good night’s sleep. Sleep can affect one’s level of alertness. The less sleep he gets, the more his alertness and performance levels are negatively affected.

In summary, if having sex before a big game is good for the athlete, then by all means have sex if it’ll make him perform better. If it affected his performance in a bad way, then he should abstain from having sex next time.
