***Parenting Tip: How To Coach Your Child At Any Sport
One of the great things about being a parent is the fun you can have teaching your kids about what you know and enjoy. I love tennis, golf, photography photography, racquetball, fishing, swimming and chess. Like many fathers, when I became a dad, I was eager to share some of these interests with the kids. Since I have coached hundreds of athletes from a wide range of sports, written articles on sport psychology and conducted seminars on improving one’s performance in sports, I could not wait until my kids got old enough for me to “impart some of my wisdom” to my offspring.

“My daughter is very bright, but she panics when she has to take tests.” “My son can’t sleep the night before a test.” “I was so scared during the SAT’s that I couldn’t concentrate at all.

Bowlers are always looking for simple ways to get more strikes and spares and to add pins to their scores.

***St. Louis Cardinals vs. Texas Rangers Math And Psychology Identify The Winner
While media experts are predicting low television ratings, this year’s World Series could be a very interesting game for avid baseball fans.

***How To Really Stop Violence In Sports
The recent violence at a football game in Sarasota caused me to reflect, once again, on violence in sports and what can be done to remedy this problem. It is conceivable that we may see more violence on the field as frustration with the economy grows and the financial rewards which athletics become more appealing and more important to many Americans. Violence in many sports has received a lot of media attention. Brawls in baseball games and players and fans acting in disorderly manners in sporting arenas are quite commonplace today.

***Golf Tips: Fourteen Ways To Get Out Of A Sand Trap The Way The Pros Do
I counsel lots of golfers. Some of them are professionals, some are highly ranked amateurs and juniors. Others are weekend warriors hoping to win a few more dollars and maybe the club championship. While most pros do not mind hitting out of bunkers, some golfers hate being stuck in the sand. It is obvious that they become angry, frustrated and anxious when they land their ball in the sand. Once these negative emotions take over, it is hard for golfers to get the ball out of the sand with a sense of accuracy, confidence, focus and control.
