Murray Looking at Sunnier Side

William — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 03:10:00 +0000

It hasn’t been an easy time of it for Scots player Andy Murray, as the months roll by and are revealing a rather tough year. He finally to admit that the game was up at the Monte Carlo games, while the French Open 2010 , starts to gather steam and focus. The star player is back at the practice courts again. The loss to German Phillip Kohlschreiber has caused his odds to go up quite a stretch, and although the loss was pretty substantial, it’s not difficult to see that the performance isn’t up to par.

That can mean many things for a tennis player, and particularly for a star as large as he is. His famous temper could be getting the better of him, as some of the more mean-spirited columns suggest, but it could also be a momentary lapse, like an inhale that comes right before a storm is unleashed. He’s been in the top five for a year now, having made it into the top ten in 2007, and for a player of his lean years, there’s plenty of opportunity in the season, and the years, ahead.

Meanwhile Murray can focus on the Masters at Wimbledon 2010 , with the heat off, and some time to start honing his abilities to come back shining. He always does. He has an incredible resilience, and a very lucky star following him. It would be nice to see the streak finally get broken. He has bounced back from the split with girlfriend Kim Spears , and he can certainly contend with this.

In the case with her, the reports suggest that is was a very amicable split, which just goes to show that this is a player with grace that’s hard to match, on or off the court. The following months will give him ample opportunity to demonstrate his natural talents again.

Bryant to Coach Basketball at the University of Hawaii

William — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 03:10:00 +0000

Kobe Bryant is the best basketball player in the world today. The man that raised Kobe and was his first teacher is now looking to become the head coach for the University of Hawaii’s men’s basketball team. Joe “Jelly Bean” Bryant does not need an endorsement from his son, who happens to be a NBA Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist, in order to be qualified.
Joe “Jelly Bean” Bryant has an extensive basketball lineage and legacy of his own. The elder Bryant played eight seasons in the NBA for San Diego, Philadelphia, and Houston. He also has played professionally abroad in Italy for seven seasons after that. Years of playing the game he loves has taught Bryant many techniques and details that he is willing and able to share with younger players. He played under great coaches and took bits and pieces from each and applied them with his own ideals.
Bryant has already had experience coaching as well. After his playing career ended Bryant didn’t want to be away from the game he loves so he took a job coaching a girls basketball team at a high school. He then went on to be an assistant coach at La Salle University. After that he got his first professional head coaching position coaching the LA Sparks of the WNBA. While coaching the Sparks he led them to a league-leading 25-9 record in 2005-06 and Lisa Leslie was named the league MVP. Now he has his mind set on coaching at the University of Hawaii. Bryant will make a great college head coach because of his past and his connection with his Kobe Bryant and Nike. When it comes to recruiting they can bring in high school players and have them stay off campus at the best five star hawaiian hotels and get the latest gear from Nike as well as have a conversation with Kobe himself.

What to Do At the Cheltenham Gold Cup

William — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:30:36 +0000

Races are not just about the horses or the betting and when a big race comes to town so do a lot of other great things to do in the area. The Cheltenham Gold Cup is no exception and Cheltenham makes sure that there is no disappointment if you come to the races looking for entertainment. If you are a lady and really have no interest in the races there is no problem in going with your boyfriend still, or even just going with a group of girl friends as you will not be disappointed by the shopping or the concerts. If you go on Ladies Day you could even find yourself entered into the fashion contest without even knowing it. There are several categories that you can be entered into and all it takes is showing up that day in your favorite outfit.

There is also a lot of shopping to be done here and it’s not all for the racing enthusiast although you can pick up some nicnacks for those you know who like racing as well. Every year a large number of companies come together and show their wares at this race knowing that it is also a good shopping weekend with so many people in town to see the races in person. From distinctive silver and gold jewelery from Argent of London (http://www.argentlondon.com/) and bronze sculptures by Belinda Sillars, to British knitware from Woolovers and Turtle Dirt trapping mats there is a little bit of everything at this site.

There are also a lot of restaurants to go to in the area and you wouldn’t be able to eat at all of them even if you stayed through all four days of the races. Inside the stadium there are great places to watch the races, enjoy entertaining bands and get some great food such as the Panoramic Restaurant with, as I’m sure you can guess, a panoramic view of the the track. There is also the Gold Cup restaurant and a number of others. These places are nice when the race is out of season, but when it is a race day they are packed, so you may want to look into if there is another restaurant that fits your needs somewhere else nearby before heading in.

National Theatre and More in DC

Corey couldn’t make up his mind over what he wanted to do first. He agreed to travel with his mom on a business trip to Washington DC, and normally he resisted going with her because there usually wasn’t anything for him to do. However, when he was presented with the opportunity to spend four days in one of the luxury hotels DC he really couldn’t resist. Not only did that particular trip sound incredibly exiting, but his alternative was to stay with his aunt because his older brother Steve would be working nights that week. And it wasn’t that he didn’t get along with his aunt, he truly loved her. It was just that she didn’t own a television, and as mundane and superficial as that might seem, Corey couldn’t imagine spending a whole four days without being able to watch any baseball games.

So, it was settled. Corey would go with his mother to Washington and she thought ahead to make reservations to tour the White House and the Capital, but other than that she decided to wing it and also to let Corey decide his own agenda while she was at work. This was a new element in their traveling structure. It had been at least two years since her son had agreed to go with her and Corey was thirteen now and his mother felt he was ready to make some of his own travel attraction decisions. At first Corey thought this meant he could roam around the city and do what he wanted while his mother was in meetings, but of course that was only unrealistic positive thinking. Instead, his mother was willing to drop him off at a secure place for an hour or so, but really meant that he could pick some of the places they would visit together during her free time. In addition to some of the standard tourist attractions they attended a dance performance on Saturday morning given by the National Theatre. It was his mother’s idea, but Corey had a great time and maybe even enjoyed it more than she did.
