Guide to Tennis Rackets

- by John Katu

Tennis can be an exciting sport for people of every age group. There is little or no equipment necessary to play tennis, but what there is certainly, is extremely important. When you begin to try out or learn tennis, you need a place to learn and employ. Many schools have tennis courts that you just will be able to use when school isn’t in session. You can also find courts at local parks, private clubs, and sometimes community centers. Sometimes usage of these courts will be free, while maybe they will often charge a small fee. Once you have found a location to try out, you will want comfortable clothing and running sneakers (or sneakers), a tennis ball, and most importantly, a tennis racket.

Your tennis racket consists of two parts: the handle or grip along with the racket itself. When choosing a racket, the grip is the central thing to keep in mind. The wrong grip on your tennis racket can cause blistering and discomfort, it may also affect your game by requiring more energy inside your swing. To select the correct racket, you should first measure your grip. This is done by measuring through the middle of one’s palm, towards the tip of the ring finger. Typical sizes are four inches for the children, four-plus an eighth to four and three-eighths inches for females and four and a half to hour and 3 / 4 inches for males. This measurement will coincide with the measurement across the handle …

My Perspective on Being Overweight and Overage in Taekwondo Training

- by John Katu

I have recently trained in the Korean martial arts, and to be frank, it appears that my training appears to be completely fruitless – and it is not because I am unwilling to learn taekwondo, but rather It’s due to two important factors which have placed me on a handicap: being overage and being overweight. As much as I have untapped potential which can be used to serve a larger community, sadly these two factors are bringing me down like a prisoner carrying his heavy burden all day and night.

Being Overage

At the not-so-young age of 31 years old, paying attention to details is very different when I was just sitting in the classroom. It is a sign that I am getting older, and thus it is more difficult for me to learn the sport. Watching children learn the basics of taekwondo feels refreshing, but at the same time, it reminded me of my inferiority as I was then wearing eyeglasses. I started wearing them at around 6 or 7 years old, as I have inherited my nearsightedness from my parents. Being bespectacled for close to twenty years is a curse and a hindrance to my physical training and development, as I never had the chance to participate in sports. Most of the time, my classmates in elementary school would oftentimes exclude me from playing because of my handicap. I can understand their concern, but at the same time, it also amounts to contempt, because it only shows that …

The New Springboard – Africa

- by John Katu

For the past handful of decades it has been alleged that in case you put ten Africans within a race, the fastest American would take position eleven. And so it has been the case for the other sports arenas for instance boxing; tennis; golf – sorry, soccer. A single would also appropriately argue that the former boxing globe champions Mohamed Ali and Mike Tyson as American citizens but of African descend. The same brush may also be used to paint Serena Williams and Tiger Woods for the Tennis and Golf sports respectively. So what about Africa?

To the majority of the outside world, Africa is a poor continent with enough population that is either susceptible candidates or already graduates of the American Idea of Discouraging Sex – sorry – AIDS. By inches, with the like of Swaziland’s King Mswati’s 13th wife’s infidelity, yes, this is possible. Also remember that majority of riffraff’s overhear suffer life elimination via hunger, kwashiorkor, malaria, elephantiasis of the scrotum, and septic wounds – diseases that understand clearly that they belong to the “socially excluded” (the latest euphemism for the poor). But the rich exit in style, through posh-sounding diseases, the affluent diseases – always to do with heart and related to overconsumption of meat and alcohol and stress. Yes, Alcohol. Alcoholism is another African way of dissolving problems.

The continent also produces sensational soccer players such as Didier Drogba (Chelsea) and MacDonald Mariga (inter-Milan) who have made the European leagues the current cash cows of …

Avoiding Dehydration When Swimming

Avoiding Dehydration When Swimming

Swimming is one of the best ways to spend your summer vacation. There’s nothing like jumping into ice-cold water on a very hot day. But there are dangers that you need to be aware of before heading to the local swimming pool. One of the biggest (and quietest) threats is dehydration.

Dehydration

Dehydration is a disease that causes an extreme electrolyte imbalance in the body. This happens when you don’t take enough fluid to replace what is lost through sweating and urinating. While dehydration is a danger during sports physical activity, it becomes more during swimming. This is for two reasons, first when you exercise, you sweat. When you are in swimming water, you do not realize that you are still sweating and thus lose fluid. Second, because you are surrounded by water, your brain is tricked into thinking that you have all the fluids you need and does not signal that your mouth and throat are thirsty. This can be made worse if you swim in the sea. When you swim, you must swallow salt water which can make you dehydrated faster.

As always, prevention is your first line of defense. When you swim, pay attention to your fluid consumption. You should avoid alcohol as much as possible because it is a natural diuretic. Fruit juice is also not very helpful because it often contains a lot of sugar. Because your brain won’t tell you when you need to drink, make sure you schedule special breaks during swimming to …
