As a coach and ex-corner infielder who’s logged 12+ seasons in dugouts and dusty baselines, here’s the quick truth: a first baseman lives on footwork, soft hands, scoops, and stretches at first base. You want fewer errors and more outs? Clean glove work. Fast feet. Smart throws. That’s the job. No mystery. What the job…
As a coach and foil nerd with 12+ years on the strip, here’s the quick answer most people want: the “fencing sword name” you’re looking for is usually one of three, foil, épée, or sabre. That’s it. Three weapons. Three vibes. Olympic fencing, electric scoring, the whole deal. In my experience, beginners get stuck on…
I’ve coached and performed for 12 years, so let me say this fast: synchronized swimming is water ballet with horsepower. In my experience, it’s equal parts artistic swimming, sculling drills, breath control, eggbeater kick, and choreography that makes your abs feel like they’ve been chewed by a tiny shark. If you want honest notes, you’re…
As a coach and marathon nerd for 12+ years, here’s the quick answer to how many miles is a marathon: it’s 26.2 miles, which is 42.195 kilometers. That’s the official marathon distance. Yes, the marathon length is fixed. No, it’s not “about 26.” It’s 26.2. In metric, think 42.2 km. Same thing. Why 26.2 and…
As a coach and ex-right-side who’s spent 12+ years yelling “close the seam!” at nice people, here’s the quick map: volleyball positions define who sets, who hits, who digs, and who keeps the rotations sane—setter, libero, outside hitter, middle blocker, opposite, DS. You’ll hear 5–1 and 6–2 tossed around too. That’s the playbook for how…
Let me answer fast, then we can bicker As a coach and choreographer who’s judged comps and taped more ankles than I care to admit over the last 12 years, here’s my short answer: yes, dance fits the “sport” box. The long answer? It’s messy. And fun. I get why people argue about “is dance…
As a sports injury analyst and coach for 12+ years, here’s my fast take: if you mean what sport has the most injuries in total ER visits, it’s usually basketball for team sports, with cycling topping all activities. If you mean injury rate per play, football and rugby are the beasts. And for scary stuff…
As a coach-turned-analyst who’s spent 12+ years breaking down plays and puzzles, here’s the fast take: when I hear “connections sports hint,” I think pattern hunting. I look for teams, positions, scoring words, colors, and sneaky word association tricks. That’s how I win trivia nights and keep my sanity. In my experience, the best “connections…
I work in sports management, which sounds fancy until you’re counting cones before sunrise. I deal with team operations, event management, sports marketing, sponsorships, ticketing, and fan engagement. On a good day, I also sleep. On a bad day, I explain what a “deliverable” is to someone who thinks it’s a pizza. If you want…
People ask me “how long should you wait to workout after eating” like I’m the stomach police. In my experience, it depends on what you ate, the workout, and your own digestion time. Big meal? Wait longer. Small snack? Quicker. Think pre-workout meal, cramps, bloating, fasted cardio, and—my favorite—gastric emptying. I’ve coached folks for over…
