He’s so good that the local paper predicts that he’ll play in Division I football, and college scouts have already started contacting him. A teenager’s dream, right? Well, unfortunately, John isn’t too keen on football. He plays the sport solely because it’s the only time his father, a famous college football player, pays attention to him.  And John pines for that attention and his dad’s approval. But he also wants to quit football and pursue other interests. Maybe you’ve felt a similar trap with your own parents: not enjoying or downright hating something you’re doing but sticking ...

That is, your mental state has a lot to do with your success on the course. And, not surprisingly, it’s like that with other sports. Psychology can give players an edge. As Ludy Benjamin and David Baker write in From Séance to Science: A History of the Profession of Psychology in America, “Indeed, in so many instances when physical talents seem evenly matched, it is the mental factors that will make the difference in winning or losing.” That’s where sport psychology — also sometimes referred to as sports psychology — comes in. So how did sport psychology start and evolve? Early Experiments In America, sport psychology’s roots date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when se...

The earliest available photos of me were taken when I was five months old, just after I was adopted. I have dark hair and freakishly large eyes that seem far too big for my face, like a Japanese anime character. In fact, they’re so big and dark that the rest of my facial features seem almost invisible. All you see are eyes. “Alien baby!” shrieks my friend Clare, spotting one of the photos on the wall of my grandmother’s house. “Look at your eyes!” She puffs out her cheeks and opens her eyes as wide as possible, and laughs. It’s 2003, and Clare has decided that my native Alabama would be more anthropologically interesting than her native U.K. for the Christmas hol...

The 2010 census will pave the way for subsidies to state and local governments. Secure property rights and government support help make U.S. farmland a good investment. But what about the property rights of taxpayers? The federal government’s IT budget increases by $5 billion while Uncle Sam’s private sector counterparts make do with less. New York’s fraud-ridden Medicaid program is a prime example why government involvement in healthcare is part of the problem, not the solution.

Federal judge dismisses charges against Blackwater guards over the killing of 17 in Baghdad. David Isenberg: “The fact that the Blackwater contractors are not getting a trial will only serve to further increase suspicion of and hostility towards security contractors. It is going to be even more difficult for them to gain the trust of local populations or government officials in the countries they work in.” New report shows state and local government workers have higher average compensation levels than private workers.

As a college football fan, it pains me that I can’t even get a respite from big government on game day. This Wednesday’s matchup between Central Michigan and Troy will be particularly insulting to taxpayers because it’s the annual GMAC Bowl. GMAC, the former in-house financing arm of General Motors, has been sponsoring the bowl game since 2000, when it paid $500,000 for the right. More recently, the firm was battered by the collapse of GM and the housing market, and it was allowed to restructure as a bank holding company, which made it eligible for TARP bailout funds. The federal government has given GMAC $12.5 billion in return for 35.4 percent ownership stake in the company...

Except — wait a minute — it was actually a senior Republican member of the House, one of those right-wing Texans, who issued the most direct threat to the football officials summoned before the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection: Rep. Joe Barton of Texas, who has introduced legislation that would prevent the NCAA from calling a game a national championship unless it’s the outcome of a playoff, bluntly warned Sw...

Mustain was such a highly recruited quarterback, Arkansas hired his high school coach as offensive coordinator in order to snag him.

If you pay even the slightest attention to the sport you probably have a vague notion that no one has been better at recruiting over the past four or so years than USC. Over that time frame the gap between them, in terms of the high school [...] (Source: From Medskool) From Medskool blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=536284 Wed, 11 Apr 2007 04:42:18 +0100 536284 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=514373&cid=t_109026_93_f&fid=34826&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.switchpod.com%2Fusers%2Ftxmed%2Fcoach-o.mp3 Apparently Jim Harbaugh is in the know. “Perhaps the reason it’s been up and down here [at Stanford] is that no one has stayed here 20 years,” Harbaugh told Dodd. “… Charlie Weis is going to do that at Notre Dame.
