Hi friends. Today I am going to say something about the condition of sports in India. I am from India so obviously I love my country a lot. If must know that India is 2nd in population after China. As compared to this India is still nowhere in sports. Except cricket the condition of sports in India is just ridicules.
India is a huge country and the number of sports played here are also wide. The contribution of these sports in International level is also remarkable. Despite these achievements and records the condition of sports is really pathetic. I would say, we the people of India are responsible for this. If we compare cricket to other sports then you will realize cricket gets great management and sponsorship, but what about the other sports? The reason may be the craze and popularity of Cricket in every Indian but it’s not good.

Even media is also responsible. Media gives so much attention to cricketers. A single victory against Australia or Pakistan made cricketers milliners, whereas government of India gives only 1000Rs ($20 US) to WHOLE team of hokey for each goal. If you calculate the distribution of money amongst players then you will realize what the condition of Hokey in India is though it’s our national game!

Then why we expect great victories from other sports if we are treating them as low. Hokey is a national game of our India. You should know great hokey player MR. Dhyanchnad. A great player, who played a great role when India defeated Germany in Olympics though Hitler was present to watch the match. Since that day India achieved number of gold medals in Olympics in hokey. But you can’t believe but it’s true that Indian hokey failed to qualify for the Beijing Olympic last year! They came 11 out of 12. More than eight gold medalists, Indian hokey team, even failed to qualify for the Olympics? What a ridicules thing in history of Indian hokey.

Not only hokey, but tennis, football, golf, badminton; all share the same pathetic condition. Neither the sponsors are interested in financing them, nor does the government raise enough funds. Have you ever heard about any other player’s name in news about Income tax except cricketer? Every year there is common news, “XYZ cricketer leave behind others in paying income tax”. What the hell is this? Why no one taking action and restrict them?

Only due to money the talented player in other sports are changing their path and attracting towards cricket. And today the Indian cricket is no more a pure cricket. Politics had entered too. So there will be always plus point for a political background player while getting selected in National team. I would give you another example of dominating behavior of cricket. You may remember this controversy. Pullela Gopichand won the All England Badminton Championship in Britain in 2001, no one cheered him because in the same week, Harbhajan Singh took a hat trick and V. V. S. Laxman scored 281 runs in the Kolkata test against Australia.

Indian sportsmen hold important and unique positions in world sports. We have a lot of players who have added the fame and glory to our nation by their great performances in sports. Leander Paes, Mahesh Bhupathi and Sania Mirza in Tennis, Jyoti Randhawa in Golf, Pankaj Advani in snooker, Anand and Humpi in chess, Saina Nehwal in badminton, Kartikeyan and Chandok in F1, Bhutia in football, Anju in long jump, Rathore and Rana in shooting. And also recently Abhinav Bindra, Sushil Kumar and Vijendra Kumar, by bagging gold and bronze medals at the Beijing Olympics in 10m air rifle, wrestling and boxing respectively are some of the names that deserve a standing ovation.

I think in Indian sports, only money matters. But if you have a great talent then you must have a great management and sponsors or you will no more. So India should improve a lot of such things in world of sports. Every sport has its own importance and it deserves same respect and management compared to cricket. And about women group sports, NO Comments! They are too poor and backward. Indian government should take a serious attention to the condition of sports in India.

Hi friends. Today I am going to share my thoughts on the Super bowl Odds. So basically what is the meaning of Super bowl? According to Wikipedia Super bowl is the championship game of the NFL (National Football League, since 1967), the premier association of professional American football.
If we focus on the history of Super bowl Odds then we will notice that the early odds for Super bowl was the AFC team to beat NFC by about 10 points. This spread has been trashed as the Colts losing to the Steelers. The Colts are well known about their performance. They always knew as high explosive offense who can win their games by huge difference. And even with them having been the favorite to make it to the Super bowl, the spread was 10.
Though the Steelers are very legitimate AFC teams but the overall public perception goes way long in inducing NFL Super Bowl Odds. I think LV (Las Vegas) may go to shade the line on the public team in super bowl. It’s also true that if Steelers made it to the super bowl then they could even be underdogs to the Seattle Seahawks.
If anyone see early betting lines like this AFC -10, to go against the public perception. I will suggest you to take NFC at +10. The reason behind this is that, the line was completely formulated based on the assumption the Indianapolis Colts were making it to the Super bowl. There is value if they do not. With a Broncos and Steelers matchup possibly being a 3-7 point spread, you can take the AFC team and hope for a middling situation. A middling situation is when you both on both sides of a game and win both of them.

Hi guys. Today I am going to give you a Guru Mantra about 4 most important skills which you should have to develop in Soccer. Today soccer is most loved game compared to any other game in the world. And it’s true. So basically if you are a soccer lover then only read this! The reason behind this is, “The work which you really love gives you 100% satisfaction”.
So we first focus on which are the most important moves in Soccer. Well there are basically 4 most important skills. These are Passing, Receiving, Shooting and Heading (most difficult). If anybody asks me, “Hey Dude! What are the most important skills in soccer?” then I will smile at him and say “It depends how much skills you already have!” But remember that there is always something you can improve in your skills.

So we will start with Passing.

Passing:
This is the basic skill on which you have to work hard! It’s doesn’t took your valuable time which you are going to focus on other skills since passing is sort of Baby Step! But remember if your baby steps are strong then only you can achieve mastery in future. So work harder on passing skills. Just create a group of your friends, family members and practice. Kicking against wall can also make a good practice. The advantage in kicking against wall is that you can simultaneously get improved in receiving and trapping skills.

Receiving
Ok. Now the important part starts here. It’s really important how you receive ball. If you don’t know then don’t worry! Practice is quire to all problems. While practicing just remember about Warm-Up. Just relax your feet give them some warming exercise. I also researched on a technique which will help you to improve your receiving skills. It is very simple but effective. Just try to receive the ball by being on your toes. I am sure this will really help you in your accuracy!

Shooting
Woooh! It’s an amazing thing in the game of Soccer. If you are not qualified in shooting a ball at least 10 meter then it’s true that you are really poor in soccer. It’s really important how much strength your legs have. It’s totally depending upon your shootings skill that how many goals you are going to write after your name in future. So what is the solution on it? Don’t worry! I am here! Just choose a wall or a tree, mark a target. Then start with short distance. Try to hit your ball on that mark. Don’t give up! You may need hours of practice but what you will get after this is important. So when you will become qualified in hitting ball on target then increase the distance. Same process follows. Then try to hit harder and harder. It sounds easy but again Hard-Work is important! And also locate your target in different position. This will help you to imagine if goal keeper present on field then how you will shoot the ball. Practicing with both the feet will increase chances of scoring in some critical situations. But mostly try to focus on your convenience!

Heading
Now the Big-Boss comes here! The most important use of this skill is in corner kick situation. It doesn’t matter whether you are playing offensive or defensive. But keep in mind that never stand still and wait for ball while you are going to head it. It will strike you hard! This may cause serious problems too. Just jump and force up your body against its impact. And don’t forget to keep your mouth close and jaws in close position. If not, then you can face a great strike on tooth. This may also cause toothache too.

So now we will focus on practice. Just take a basketball’s basket and drill it to a proper height, say 2 foot above your own height. Means suppose you are 6 foot tall then drill it on 7-8 foot from ground. Now take the ball and throw in air and try to Basket it. More you try more you get! After successfully qualifying in making baskets by your head, try to hit the ball horizontally. Same technique as we used in Shooting. Mark a target and try to hit it by your head.

That’s all. I think this is sufficient for improving your basic skills. Just remember Never give up! Try harder and get greater.
