Mental Errors



After watching a majority of the games in my region yesterday there was something that stood out to me in a majority of the games. MENTAL ERRORS! There were too many false starts, delay of games, and holding penalties. For these to be professional athletes, I felt that was unacceptable. I still stand by the fact that the lockout had a negative affect on teams and their cohesion. With that being said, the NFL is six games into their season and at some point teams need to get on the same page. Mental Errors can be detrimental to a team's momentum. A team can be driving down the field until suddenly they are plagued by two false starts and now they are moving backwards. Unacceptable! There is something to be said about self-control as a team. It's not always that teams are being "out-played" or "out-coached." Sometimes there are internal issues amongst a team. This week, the entire NFL needs to work on some of those issues.

Breaking News: NFL hires first female coach....well, sort of

I have received  this link  from numerous friends and cohorts, with all of the well meaning intentions possible. You see, I am currently a doctoral student in sport management at THE GREATEST UNIVERSITY, with a focus on uncovering why there is such a severe lack of underrepresentation of Black women in athletic administration. While my particular focus is on women of color, mainly due to the fact that there is a lack of research on this population, I am always excited to hear about women in general that are 'moving the needle'.

And then...I actually read the article.  Coach Welter was only hired on a temporary basis. She was an intern during preseason and training camp. As is also the case with Coach Kathryn Smith, who was hired in as the Quality Control-Special Teams Coach (QCC). I must admit, that even...

Hit Felt Around The World

It reigned in the number one spot on SportsCenter for over 40 weeks. It hurt Wolverines to the core every time it was replayed. It solidified Clowney as a top draft pick. It is The Hit. I watched this game and The Hit was nothing short of amazing. The way Clowney hit Vincent Smith, the way he scooped up the ball with one hand and then attempted to run it back for a TD.  I'm still amazed that Vincent Smith was able to get up after that.  Personally, I thought I he was dead. Not even joking!
