Airsoft one of the more difficult, stratigic and fun sport that should certainly be adoped by the Olympics, and will be if people promote the sport.

In 2010, I was a promising young professional leading public relations and marketing campaigns for clean technology companies. My career was thriving: I worked alongside the brightest minds in Silicon Valley, at a leading venture capital firm. The firm had recently doubled down investments in the clean technology sector and the solar, electric vehicle, biofuel and lighting technologies we invested in were poised to disrupt incumbent industries. My colleagues and I believed that these…

Back when I was in the fifth grade. I had three injuries back to back. First I broke my index finger, then ring finger, and finally my right collar bone. The first two where due to sports, but the last one was due to the fact that I was stupid. So pretty much I stayed hurt in fifth grade.

Perspective 1 (Me): Allergies drove me crazy as I waited my turn for the Star Drill at softball practice. Discreetly wiping under my nose, I shifted my weight as I watched my teammates throw the ball around the bases. The catcher threw the ball to Tess, who was standing about ten feet in front of me. I saw it coming in high compared to Tess' small frame, and got prepared for the ball coming at us. Tess jumped up to get the ball, tipped it off her glove, and next thing I knew I was on the…

On the school softball team I hit 5 homeruns over the fence (Late March - Early May) because it was an easier team with easier…

According to French and Raven (1965) there are six common and important bases of power (referent, expert, legitimate, reward, coercive, and information power) which an individual may use to increase their capacity to influence others. An individual's source of power is not set in stone, it can be fluid and change as a function of the situation (Sager, 2008). Dr. Hassan demonstrates to utilize four sources of power as a…

Have you ever wondered what goes through an extreme sports participant’s mind? We may have the wrong perspective of them and call them “risk-takers,” but little do we know how they actually feel. Let's see what studies have to show for extreme sports and their participants.

Pressures On All the bases were loaded, two outs, two strikes, and we were losing 5-9. I was up to bat, extremely scared, and very pressured. My coach was yelling at me and telling me all these things to do and they were making my mind crazy. I was scared I would strike out and my whole team would be mad, I was scared my dad would be angry, and I was afraid that I would let myself down. I didn’t believe in myself that I could hit the ball, but it all began when I stepped up to…
