Embarrassment Stopped Them From Excelling in Sports
July 16, 2009 by Kimberly Edwards · 1 Comment
What? You’re going to let embarassment stop you from playing sports?
You’re afraid to do something wrong? Well, we all do something wrong when playing sports – DON’T WORRY ABOUT IT! Say, “My bad!” and move on…just as everyone else will.
I think it’s most worrisome to our own selves…no one else is as concerned with our bobbled play or move than we are!!! We are always our own worst critic!
Yesterday, while enjoying some snacks on our porch in Dallas, a teenage boy was skateboarding down the street…We were hardly paying attention to him, except that we knew he was skateboarding.
He accidentally Read more

If you’re looking for a great website to help you organize your children’s sports education with camps, then you’ll want to check out Skyhawks.
Skyhawks is a serious organizer of children’s sports camps across the nation in 24 states and in some areas of Canada. That’s attention getting, as there aren’t nearly as many camps in Canada as there are in the U.S.A. for kids.
If you’re looking for a soccer camp, baseball, basketball, tennis, golf, volleyball, track and field, cheerleading, lacrosse, or flag football for kids 3-15 years of age, this is the place you may want to start.
They’ve been providing and hosting camps since 1979 and have a proven safety track record.

Basketball Is In The Air…
March 21, 2008 by Kimberly Edwards · 1 Comment
Since Spring is in the air, you must have a Spring in your step…
If you live up North in North America, you’re no doubt tired of this snow and cold!!!
If you love basketball, with March Madness on the airwaves and in sports fan conversations, you must be itching to get out and shoot some hoops…maybe a little one-on-one?
Be prepared…What does the basketball hoop in your driveway look like? Will your kids be trying to shoot hoops at their friends’ houses instead?
If you’re an avid basketball player, parent, or someone that gets together with their friends to play regularly, think about getting an Upgrade!
How cool would it be to have professional-looking, actual basketball court dimensions marked off on your driveway? Pretty cool, I think. For a young athlete that’s aspiring to get an athletic scholarship, who is constantly working on their game, this would be so handy!
Are you tired of those portable basketball hoop set-ups? Tired of them blowing over, or not being regulation height? Upgrade…inground basketball hoops are an awesome option and are really not that difficult to install.
I say all of this because I got to thinking about our “set-up”…It could be “Upgraded” too! So, I got to looking around online and found a website, dazadi.com…It got my brain racing with how we could “spruce” it up a bit…okay, a lot…

Dancers Are Serious Athletes – And They Have Needs…
March 12, 2008 by Kimberly Edwards · 1 Comment
For those of you who have never participated in a ballet class, you have no idea!
I was a rhythmic gymnast and Canadian hopeful back in the day. I even lived away at Gymnastics school in Toronto, and guess what…We did ballet EVERYDAY (and Jazz a few days/week)!
This, by far, was the most difficult and strenuous part of our all-day practices, but probably one of the most important…The sheer strength and endurance it takes, not to mention serious concentration, is off the charts, if you want to be good at it! Phew!
One of my favorite days would be when the Gym Suit lady would come to sell new Leotards and other gear like our special Gymnastics Slippers we needed for working on the carpet, Dance Shoes and Ballet Shoes, and other Gear like our apparatus…Not only did we get a short break, but there’s nothing like dawning a brand new outfit…not just any outfit…but one that has been made specifically for our gymnastic and dancing purposes! They may have been a little pricey from that lady, but it was well worth it, and much cheaper and better quality than you would have found retail.
There are times when you are having a really tough day in training and you look down at your new suit and get a bit of cheer…It may sound funny, but it’s so true!
I remember how hard it was to track down all of the Gear and Leotards you needed…What a Pain!!! They never had everything you needed in one place at one time, and if they did, the price sent you right back out the door empty-handed, since it could get costly replacing your gear and leotards as often as they were needed.
We didn’t have the internet then, and that certainly would have made life a lot easier. Today, dancers have access to what they need and I Stumbled (add me as a friend on Stumble Upon) an amazing place where you can find all of your dancing needs in a one-stop-shop!
