Your Questions About Soccer

Daniel asks…

How to become a soccer player?

I LOVE soccer and I want to pursue my dream of being a
professional or possibly national soccer player.

I’ve been playing soccer for 5 years and I think soccer is my thing.

I’m planning to play soccer in university team. Can I become a professional soccer player by joining university soccer team?

and yes… what university is good at soccer?

admin answers:

My first suggestion would be to play all the time. Just look at every successful sports star…they played all the time! To be successful in America, fitness is a major part of the college soccer scene. I would suggest asking for a fitness guide and make sure you pass all the fitness tests with flying colors at the start of preseason. To go pro, especially to get drafted into the MLS, you need to stand out…so work your ass off until you are better than everyone else! Play soccer, 1v1, 3v3, 11v11, whatever, all the time!

Mark asks…

What does it take for soccer players to be eligible to play in professional soccer?

I want to become a professional soccer player, but don’t know what I have to do in order to become one. I don’t have much soccer experience because my parents never put me in soccer when I was little. I just played once in my sophomore year in the spring and only played for the city, but I have never had a soccer coach or anything like that. So I am not really sure.

admin answers:

You have to be very very very good.
Preferably in a country that values soccer more (like an european country).
Then start working your way up starting in the small leagues, training a lot.

Richard asks…

What is the best website for soccer news and updates?

I am interested in soccer, and I really want to know more of the sport and what is happening. I was wondering if there is a website that is free that has soccer news from Europe and others. I am not too interested in American soccer, but the big leagues in Europe. I also kind of want to watch soccer game highlights videos, and learn the score, upcoming matches. And even get more info on each team themselves. I would prefer it to be free, to sum it up I was wondering if there is a place that has all European soccer info in one website, while having soccer video highlights.

David asks…

How can i dribble a soccer ball with out it slowing me down?

When i run with a soccer ball, i have to run slow inorder to keep in control of the soccer ball. If i run fast than i don’t have control of the soccer ball. What can i do to be fast and keep control of the soccer ball? What drills might help? What part of my shoe should i hit the ball with when running?

admin answers:

It depends on the position of the defender, with a defender behind you or beside you, usually you need to stretch it long, dribbling it farther away from you than you usually do, then run after it. I usually hit it with my upper outer part of my toes. Look for ronaldhino videos during his prime at barcelona

if the opponent is in front of you, play it short, diagonally behind your marker making him/her backpedal and turn, if your faster than the defender you can still control the ball, watch how wingers play, it’s what they do to get to the sides before crossing the ball

Sandy asks…

Your Questions About Baseball America

Mandy asks…

What is the best baseball town in America?

In my opinion, New York of course. Yankees games have baseballs best atmosphere. The stadium is loud and the chanting of Lets Go Yankees and Role Call send chills up your spine! When the Yankees take the field everybody claps along to “You ready for this” and everybody sings along to New York, New York when they win. The city comes to life when the Yankees do well. The city is in a slump when the Yankees do bad. New York is the best baseball city in America!

Oh and we have another team but they dont really count.

admin answers:

New York, New York.

By the king of the hill, top of the world…

Laura asks…

How do you become a ranked (All American, Baseball America, etc) high school baseball player?

I’m just wondering how players are chosen to be ranked on websites and are all american/all state players. Are there scouts that go around looking at games and take note of a player and post their name on the websites? Are there tryouts to be on the all american teams?

I’m a sophomore in high school. What age do they start looking at you to be a ranked high school player?

Thanks

admin answers:

Talent, hard work, dedication.

All high-school players are elibible.

No tryouts.

Jenny asks…

Why do British people think Baseball is only popular in America?

Baseball is extremely popular in South America,Mexico,and Central America!In Japan,baseball made it as top 3 most popular sports!In Panama and Cuba,baseball is the most popular sport!What is up with this?

admin answers:

To be fair, we don’t hear very much about it coming from those other areas you mention, and we hear an awful lot about it coming from America. I knew it was big in Japan though, for what it’s worth. Plus the British are probably not alone in the world as not being that interested in baseball. If we were more interested in it, we’d be more likely to know these things, eh, old bean?

Joseph asks…

What’s the difference between baseball in Japan and baseball in America?

What are the differences and advantages in both? and is Japanese baseball players better than American players? If the United States went over to Japan and had a baseball competition, who would win? and why
what if the MLB and the best league in Japan were to compete. Who would most likely win?
In Japan, could you get any points from playing defense? If baseball is so much of a defense game…

admin answers:

Tune into the World Baseball Classic to see see how Americans hold up to teams around the world…… It won’t be pretty

Maria asks…

What if, instead of playing basketball, football and baseball, America’s best athletes played “soccer”?

admin answers:

Try to convince people in Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida to teach their children “soccer” instead of “football” …. You might recieve a few shotgun wounds. Or someone will throw one of their 3 teeth at you.

But in honesty, and this will make me unpopular for saying so, but the real reason soccer-type football is the most popular sport on the planet, is because poor people can play it (same with basketball) you just need a ball, and a net (or two shoes, close enough together trees, etc). Hockey, baseball, american football, golf, need equipment that costs money. And weather conditions to be right. Whereas soccer can be played outdoors in any weather and even indoors

Your Questions About Cycling Training

Maria asks…

Can exercise, in particular weight training and cycling, cause male baldness?

I understand that testosterone levels increase when weight training. As I have read that testosterone causes male pattern baldness, will someone with the male pattern baldness gene go bald quicker if they weight train regularly. If so could cycling also accelerate MPB? Thanks in advance.

admin answers:

Only if you drop the weights on your head or drag your head against the pavement while cycling.

Lance Armstrong ain’t bald. Neither is Arnold Schwartzenegger

William asks…

What is a good road cycling training schedule for a 15 year old?

admin answers:

For the time being, just get out and ride. After a few months, start looking for a training schedules. Right now, you should be worried about adding distance, learn the bike and learning how to keep it moving with the least amount of effort (efficiency).

Charles asks…

Im new to cycling ive recently bought a road bike and want to start training. I want a varied training?

programme. I dont really want to build my legs though as they are quite big already. I am more interested in definition/weight loss.Can anybody suggest the frequency of training/milage i should be doing? Distance or hills? And does anybody know of any good cycling web sites with training tips on etc? Many thanks in advance..:)

admin answers:

This is easy. Get your heart rate up high (80% of max) for as long as you can stand it and spin, spin, spin. Don’t ever mash: shift to a lower gear and spin. Hills, flats…doesn’t matter, just spin. And in case I didn’t mention it before: spin.

Distance is the key factor. Staying on the bike long enough to burn fat reserves builds definition and makes for true lasting weight loss. Remember: spinning builds lean muscle (mashing builds bulk).

Performance’s web site has a good training section and Bicycling magazine devotes about half its pages to training in the spring issues.

Sharon asks…

Help with my Cycling Training program Please?

Trying to improve my road bike riding including power and endurance. Designing a year long…season long program. Is it necessary to have a powermeter or computrainer or can I get the improvement I want by simply training better and using a HR monitor. Are spin classes a good off-season workout?

admin answers:

The best two resources for a self-coached cyclists are Joe Friel’s “Cyclist’s Training Bible” and Arnie Baker’s “Smart Cycling: Successful Training and Racing for Riders of All Levels”.

You can get away without any training tools. However, most coaches recommend a heart-rate monitor and speedometer. Powermeters are a valuable tool only if you know how to use them. For a fee you can get power oriented coaching through TrainingPeaks.com or other websites as well.

Spin classes are ok, but your best friend in the winter should be a bike set-up for winter riding with full fenders and/or an indoor trainer or rollers. You can also supplement your bike workouts with plyometrics cross-training.

Mary asks…

Is cycling a cross training for marathon runners?

Or does cycling works on almost same muscle group?
Which cross training is most effective for runners to prevent injuries?

admin answers:

You can use the cycling as a recovery day from running. It does not work the muscles in the same way as running. It does work the cardiovascular system. It does not have impact on the ground so it is easier on your joints and feet. You can run in deep water which has no impact and works you very hard. To prevent injuries you need to make sure you hydrate well, stretch, and cool down. Taking off one day per week is a very good idea. If you feel like you have a problem coming on then you need to adjust or take off.

Your Questions About Hiking In Michigan

Sandra asks…

Hiking trails in west michigan are near and around Muskegon?

Could anyone tell me where any good hiking trails are in the muskegon and the serounding area. I have hiked Manistee river trail, Nord house dunes trail, Muskegon block house trails, PJ Hoffmaster trails, Pigeon creek trails, Musketawa trail, Muskegon bike path, White river trail, and probably a few others in the area I cant think of right now. Is there any other trails in the area of west michigan that is worth hiking on, purfurably by a river or somthing away from it all. Thank You.

admin answers:

I suggest looking for the Atlas and Field Guide for southern Michigan. (second website below) they will have a list of all trails in the area.

First website is State of Michigan Trails search. Sounds Like you’ve done most of them in your area.

Paul asks…

What is the best vacation spot in Michigan for outdoor type activities – boating, fishing, hiking?

admin answers:

It might depend on what “boating” is for you. If that includes sports like tubing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, then I certainly recommend the Coldwater Lake area in South Central Michigan.

Additionally, you might check out Torch Lake or Houghton Lake in northern lower Michigan. Both of these lakes are famed for boating sports.

At any rate, there are a million things to do everywhere in Michigan, and I hope you have fun there!

Michael asks…

Multi-day Hike in Michigan?

I’m looking to do a 3-4 day hike (30+ miles) in Michigan with a buddy. Looking for great scenic views along the way, such as waterfalls, lakes, caves, and anything of those sorts. The trails can be any difficulty and we will be tent camping along the trail during the days. Thanks

admin answers:

Pictured rocks in munising michigan. It’s located in the upper peninsula and is one of the most beautiful places in michigan. There are a lot of waterfalls, cliffs…it’s right along lake superior.

Mary asks…

Challenging Day Hikes in Michigan or Norhtern Ohio (Toledo area)?

Looking for some suggestions for day hikes in the above locations, there will be 4 of us (2 adults and 2 teens-13,16). we don’t have a lot of experience but we are physically fit and want a challenge. Best suggestion and info gets 10, yes 10 points. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

admin answers:

Since you should always have a trail guide with you anyway, you might as well find one of the area with listings of hikes for that area which will help you decide where to go.

They will list the distance, the vertical elevation gain, and a general route description.

I like the “Falcon Guide” series for hiking and climbing areas:

Lizzie asks…

Michigan outdoor activities for dog owners…?

I have an active husky and would like to get involved with an outdoor activity in the southwestern Michigan area… hiking, sledding, etc.? Anyone know of clubs or organizations? Any ideas?

admin answers:

For one husky, look into Skijoring/Bikejoring/Hiking…Find a local breed club or specific Skijoring club (Skijoring is for more than just the Sibe)…Many Nordic trails are open to owners and their dogs on set days or set times.
