Will Novak Djokovic Become the Best Ever Tennis Player?
Novak Djokovic was born on the May 22, 1987 so he is currently 31 years old. He is currently ranked number one in the ATP world rankings. As of the February 28, 2019 he has won 846 matches, 32 ATP 1000, events and 15 grand slams. He was won the last three grand slams: 2018 Wimbledon, the 2018 US Open, and the 2019 Australian open. This is an incredible achievement since in he missed six months of the season in 2017 and started 2018 with several early round exits. He lost to Hyeon Chung in the fourth round of the Australian open, Taro Daniel in the second round at Indian Wells, and Benoît Paire at the same stage of the tournament in Miami. However, his form began to change as it came to the clay court season with Novak stating, "It's the first time in two years I've been able to play without pain," referring to the constant elbow problems that had caused him pain. He got to the third round in Monte Carlo, knocked out early in both Barcelona and Madrid, but got to the semi-final of Rome when he was knocked out by the eventual champion Rafael Nadal. He got knocked out in the quarterfinal at the second gland slam of that year after showing some signs of improvement. He went on to dominate the season after this, only losing four more times to Marin Cilic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Karen Khachanov, and Alexander Zverev to reclaim the top spot.

“One More Time”
So, a little background. I’m a pretty clumsy person. I seem to always end up breaking bones or tearing ligaments. I’m also pretty stubborn when it comes to sitting out in sports. Now you're wondering what that has to do with anything, but it will be useful when you read this. So, when I was back in elementary school, we went on a ski trip every year from third grade until you went to high school. In my eighth-grade year, I was at the ski resort and originally been snowboarding (had to be different from everybody). I switched to ski’s an hour before we had to leave so I could go down the same mountain as my friends. Now, remember, this wasn’t my first year skiing. I was going to go in for a drink and snack, but my friend begged me to go one more time.

Things You Might Need to Understand About Color Guard
When people ask, do you start off with telling them you’re in marching band or do you jump straight in with explaining that you’re in color guard? There are so many people that as soon as those two words fall from your lips, they get a glazed look of confusion in their eyes. Personally, I always explained it as performing along side the band on the field. I think it took my parents a good two years to truly understand what I was doing everyday after school and on Saturdays.

Fielding Drills for Baseball Pitchers
Three letters that strike dread among pitchers of all calibers and skill level—from the majors, to high school, to even little league: ‘PFP.’ The reviled Pitchers Fielding Practice has probably been maligned since its inception, but it has its benefits and purpose. Just ask the 2006 Detroit Tigers, who saw numerous chances bobbled away through errant fielding by their pitchers throughout that World Series loss.

The NBA Has Taken Over the NFL's Biggest Week
What was supposed to be the NFL's biggest week has felt like it's been pushed to the B-block of many sports news, TV shows, and to the shorter column in the newspapers. In fact, it is probably accurate. The NBA has taken over this week in sports news, with many big moves and news sending ripples through the NBA. From LeBron's return to Kyrie's comments to feel-good All-Star stories, the NBA has had a flurry of news come out this past week. All of this being huge and imperative to the future of the NBA, it has made the NFL and the Super Bowl take a backseat when it was supposed to be their week in the limelight. Credit the NBA, but the NFL could be to blame as well for their lackluster lead-up to the Super Bowl.

The Dark Side of Youth Sports
In recent years, organized youth sports participation has been normalized in western society and registration numbers have since peaked. The rise of organized sports has also triggered the rise of elite sports for children. Thousands of children per year join high-performance training programs and teams in an effort to become the best possible athlete and, in many cases, advance to the professional level. Whether these “elite youth sports” do more harm than good for the children playing them is debated by professionals, parents, coaches, and athletes. Having the opportunity to participate in high-performance sports as a child is a unique experience that holds the potential to also be very positive. However, over-involved adults, year-round sport specialization, financial commitments, a lack of freedom, and losing focus of why they are playing are all reasons why young children quit elite sports. In this sense, evidence would suggest that “elite” and “high-performance” sports are more detrimental than beneficial to today’s youth.
