Here we are at a cross roads of sports.....NFL hasnt quite started, baseball is at is "borning" period, hockey is over, basketball just ended....what is there to do? watch? write about? So what I have decided to do and change up for a min - we ALL hear about the Pacman Jones, the Michael Vicks, the Cedrick Benson - but how much time is spent on the positive side of thing? How much time and energy is used by the media, websites, news, papers and magazines to shed light on some of the positive things athletes ARE doing? Hard to answer that question huh? Well, I know it is not a lot, there are some yes, but the negative outweighs the positive! Well - I dont know how much of a difference it is going to make, but I figure I will take some time out and bring what attention I can to the positive side of things and some of the things that I know these cats are doing which may or may not get press. Ever heard about Native Vision Sports and Live Skills Camp? What about United for a Cause? Or how about The Key To Success Scholarship Program? Have you ever thought about what goes on in the head and minds of an NFL player as they prepare themselves for training camp? How do they spend there last day of "freedom"? What are they thinking about a month out, a week out, in training camp? We have tapped into our network of friends and have spoken to some of our NFL friends and will be having a series of post from an actual NFL player (or a couple of players) that will give you that insight, feeling and experience. So please check back for the different postings - I hope you enjoy....because I will enjoy bringing it to you! So stay tuned - the fun starts today June 20, 2008 |
