You know how to lead a huddle. Whether playing an intramural game with friends or coaching your child’s school team, you are a great leader and can rally the troops to play their best. This leadership you possess as an athlete, and possibly a coach, doesn’t have to stop once the game ends. You’d be surprised to find that your leadership skills on the football field can extend to other aspects of your personal and professional life as well.

2018 will mark the second year in which a period of three weeks runs in between the end of the French Open and the start of Wimbledon. The slight extension of off time between tennis grand slam events may seem like a minor detail, thing but in the extremely structured, overly-micromanaged big money global sporting universe, this is a big deal.
With every event and tournament, there is an extensive amount of energy put into making sure optimum exposure, on multiple levels, is achieved. You have to make considerations for sponsorships, facility needs, venue concerns, athletes, the athletes supports staff and so much more. With so many different competing interests, you better believe that it takes years of behind the scenes maneuvering by the game’s powers-that-be to make this one shift come to fruition.

The 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 faces a multitude of challenges. Ticket prices have gotten so ridiculously high that they have now priced out their core fan base, and the tourists. Television ratings have sagged so badly that the race will now have to make a change in broadcast rights holders.
In 2017, the Indy 500 saw a 13% drop in ratings, and that made for the worst number in 31 years. America is quickly losing interest in the IndyCar series race which traditionally provides the unofficial opening of summer, and with it, typically some nice wholesome thoughts. A truly compelling storyline is needed now more than ever- enter Helio Castrovenes

Russia is the only team that was certain to participate in the 2018 FIFA World Cup – the host country’s national team automatically qualifies. The rest of the participants were as unpredictable as a game of roulette at either of the new UK online casinos emerging in the last couple of years. And the qualifications for this year’s massive football event were, indeed, surprising – teams that anyone would’ve bet will be there will stay home this year, and others that nobody expected to will get on the plane.
