40-yard dash

Have you ever been scared to try? Have you ever just wanted to quit after failing, the first attempt or after multiple? How hard are you willing to work? I was told if I want something I was told I got to go and get it. Many people have told me I got to work even when people are sleeping. I have a family friend who's son is in the NFL and they both told me how hard you have to work to get there. I'm working for that right now. I'd say my greatest failure happened to me this year. I was originally

Every Defense in football is different, but there are some parallels no matter how unique a defense is. Every defense has a defensive front, different coverages, unique blitzes, and they all have the same positions. Defense is what gives a team an edge. It is the difference in a good team and a great team. A good defense keeps the opposing team’s offense off of the field, limiting their chances to score. While doing so, they are increasing their chances to score by keeping their team’s offense on

knows how to pick out players with high potential. If Linta likes what he sees, he will do an in-person workout, putting these players through a variety of drills- some that you would expect, but many unconventional. He might watch a player run a 40-yard dash, see a wide receiver run routes, or he may have a player do something unusual, like have a linebacker catch a ball one-handed. He has his methods, he knows what he is looking for, and it

Football has always been a sport about strength and size. Players would use their strength and size to hurt other people to score a few points. For this reason, Football has become a very popular sport in the United States for many decades. However, since football is based on a person’s size and strength, many coaches around the world have begun to plump up their players to make them more hard-hitting and threatening causing teams to have an advantage over other the teams. With many teams trying

a year just from his NBA contract and is widely considered one of the greatest if not the greatest basketball player of all time. This could be due to him being 6 feet 8 inches tall, 250 pounds, having a vertical of 44 inches and running a 4.60 40-yard dash. His athleticism is unmatched but his shooting ability/decision making combined with his athleticism is what makes him so great. LeBron wasn’t always this great basketball player, he lived a rough life on his road to the NBA and his journey all

Pay to Play Over 70 percent of full time employees work 40 hours or more a week (Wesley, Daniel). These individuals have what many would consider to be a job. So why is it when an athlete spends 40 or more hours a week dedicated to a sport it is considered anything less (Alessi, Dominic)? College athletes cannot be paid or accept any free merchandise of any sort because of rules currently set by the NCAA. The reason for this ruling is to keep the integrity of the “amateur” athletics. It’s an amazing

playoff round, I had an unfulfilled, hollow feeling, and a sense of unfinished business. During this time, my acting teacher approached me about trying out for our high school’s annual theater production. I fluffed it off faster than I could run the 40 yard dash, thinking “this is not what varsity football players do.” She persisted and finally dragged me into the high school auditorium where there was a flurry of activity; students trying out for various parts of the musical, Sister Act. How extraordinary

What are the health and performance effects of alcohol use by intercollegiate / Varsity athletes?

University is a place in one’s life when those who have just finished secondary school go to experience a higher quality of education

Babies come into the world with musical preferences. They begin to respond to music while still in the womb. At the age of 4 months, dissonant notes at the end of a melody will cause them to squirm and turn away. If they like a tune, they may coo. Scientists cite such responses as evidence that certain rules for music are wired into the brain, and musicians violate them at the risk of making their audiences squirm. Even the Smashing Pumpkins, a hard-rock group, play by some of the same rules of harmony

European Crab Apple: The native Crab Apple is occasional in southern Illinois, yet uncommon or absent in the central and northern sections of the state .
