I really like the Williams pads [...]

Youth Football Website – Results
Back in February I started reviewing team websites. These websites allow you to manage your team and communication. I narrowed my review down to 2 website solutions

I really like both website solutions but I chose TeamZone Sports because of its price. It is free.
I have been using TeamZone Sports for my son’s baseball team over [...]

The Mental Game of Football
Since my son is playing baseball this year, I visited John Reed’s site the other day to read a few of his baseball articles and order his baseball book.

Congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers
I just wanted to say congrats to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning the Super Bowl on Sunday. What a great game! The Cardinals played their hearts out and had a wonderful season. I guess the old saying that defense wins Championships is true.

Coaching Youth Football
I love coaching youth football and other youth sports. It amazes me the spectrum of coaches. I guess I should not be surprised since the majority of us are parent volunteers. And some of the unlucky few, defaulted into the coaching spot because the assigned coach got busy with work or resigned for some other reason.

This does not belong in Sports! Unsportsmanlike conduct.
I know this is a college basketball clip, but this might be one of the worst unsportsmanlike acts I have seen thus far.
Coaches, let’s not draft, coach or promote players that demonstrate this type of behavior on the field or off.
Parents, lets try to raise better young adults to send them [...]

When is a Win a Loss? – Coaching Youth Football
I read a story yesterday on FOXNews.com about a girls high school basketball team winning a game 100-0. Wow. How does any coach allow this to happen? I am talking about the winning coach. And to top it off, the winning team is from a Christian High School.
There is hope for the school. The head [...]
