										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/pexels-photo-1432039.jpeg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16100" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/pexels-photo-1432039.jpeg" alt="" width="340" height="431" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/pexels-photo-1432039.jpeg 513w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/pexels-photo-1432039-237x300.jpeg 237w" sizes="(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px" /></a>Playing a sport is a fantastic, productive hobby. It’s fun and it keeps you fit, there are all kinds of sports out there to try so whatever you’re into, chances are there’s a club or team you can join. If you’ve been out of sports for a while and considering ways to get back into it then here are some points to consider.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>Find the right sport for you</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You might want to dive straight in and play rugby or get involved in </span><a href="http://www.fullcontactmartialarts.org/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">contact martial arts</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, but spend some time thinking about it first. Choose a sport that suits your fitness levels and health conditions, not every kind of sport is suitable for every person. While many sports can be adapted and classes can be run for all different ability types, there might be some things you need to actively avoid. For example, if you have a pre-existing or old injury then you’ll want to avoid anything that might aggravate this. It doesn’t mean you need to give up on the idea of sports altogether, but do look for something that’s right for you. You might have been sporty and active as a youth but things might be different now. In some cases, you might just need to go to the gym and work on building your fitness levels up first, before you join a sport where you’re playing against others.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span id="more-16099"></span></p>
<p><b>Get the right kit</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once you’ve decided on the sport, your next step is to get yourself the right kit. With sports like rugby for example you’ll need to make sure you have all of the correct safety gear on or you could put yourself at risk. You might find yourself seeking the services of a </span><a href="https://www.hupy.com/offices/personal-injury-attorneys-in-quad-cities-ia.cfm"><span style="font-weight: 400;">personal injury lawyer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> if you get hurt, but if you’re the one who has neglected to take precautions then chances are you won’t have a claim. For sports where you need to be light on your feet the right footwear is crucial, and for sports like tennis, badminton etc you’ll need the right racket. If you’re joining a club, they might have equipment you can borrow or hire, otherwise do some research and find out what you need to buy.</span></p>
<p><b>Rope in a friend</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Any kind of </span><a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/better/health/why-you-should-work-out-crowd-ncna798936"><span style="font-weight: 400;">exercise is more enjoyable with friends</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you’re more likely to keep it up too. If you have a friend that’s interested in getting fit too, encourage them to come along with you. Whether you’re working together on the same team or practicing some friendly competition against each other, it’s a lot of fun. Why not kill two birds with one stone and socialise while exercising- the perfect balance when we all lead such busy lives!&nbsp;</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stefanos-Tsitsipas-with-ATP-Finals-trophy.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16088" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stefanos-Tsitsipas-with-ATP-Finals-trophy.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="386" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stefanos-Tsitsipas-with-ATP-Finals-trophy.jpg 468w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stefanos-Tsitsipas-with-ATP-Finals-trophy-264x300.jpg 264w" sizes="(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px" /></a>As we all know American Tennis has been down recently (on the Men’s Side. Serena Williams and Sofia Kenin are kicking butt right now). The last American to win a Grand Slam was Andy Roddick in 2003… That’s almost 2 Decades ago. There are players in the top 10 (Tsitsipas and Zverev to name 2) that could barely even hold a tennis racquet back then. American Sam Querrey made it to the Semi’s of Wimbledon in 2017 and Quarters in 2019 where he lost to Federer and Nadal respectively. Other than that… nothing. American Tennis has some up and comers that are top 100 but can’t quite seem to break out as elite talents. So what is it about the 2000’s that we can’t quite produce the same level of talent as the 70’s – 90’s when America once dominated tennis.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span id="more-16087"></span></p>
<p><b>Tennis has become more Global</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis was always a global sport. It is regarded as the second or third most popular sport in the world behind only soccer and debatably cricket. There are more players around the globe that might not have had the same access to all the necessary </span><a href="https://www.takinsports.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Vegan Sports Gear</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, even the small things such as </span><a href="https://www.takinsports.com/products/tennis-grips"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis Grips</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and </span><a href="https://www.takinsports.com/products/tennis-shock-absorber-vibration-dampener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis Shock Absorbers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. There is so much tennis competition coming from all across the globe. Even now Small Countries like Serbia and Switzerland have been dominating tennis. Fun Fact: There is also roughly 50% of NCAA Tennis Scholarships are going to Non-American Tennis Players.</span></p>
<p><b>Tennis is not as popular with the Kids</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are a lot of reasons that kids don’t tend to make tennis a priority growing up. And if they do, they aren’t considered “cool” like the football or basketball players. Why is this? I believe it because it is not a team friendly sport. Most people make friends with the people they play sports with, or are in the same club with. Most tennis “friends” are your competition/enemy, where on the basketball court they are your teammate/ally. Your success is their success. On the tennis court it is the exact opposite. Even if you are a top ranked Jr, there are 50% less scholarship opportunities which a tennis program usually only has 2-5 whole scholarships anyways. And then you are on team with many non-americans that come from a very different cultural background than you. And even then you are still competing for the coveted 1 spot on the roster.</span></p>
<p><b>The Travel in Tennis is Brutal</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In Juniors, a tennis player is traveling all over the state or country to play the top tournaments. The schedule is brutal and exhausting. Plus once you do make it pro, the travel only intensifies to global. There is a tournament in Australian, then California, then Rotterdam all with in a month period. Plus there is only about 1 month of true off time, which you really can’t afford to take off as you can afford to have a slow start to the season. Most American Tennis players come from upper class families and now that the competition is so competitive and the travel so demanding, the choice to become a professional tennis seems less lucrative to those with means to be great at others things as well.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you’ve probably read in the Latest Takin Tennis News, American Tennis is in a low place right now. However if we can get our youth excited about tennis and make it more of a team sport like they do in a college atmosphere; that would a great step into making Tennis fun for all kids and turn it into a life long passion. Afterall tennis is the best sport to play when you are older right?</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Sports_portal_bar_icon.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-16012" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Sports_portal_bar_icon.jpg" alt="" width="340" height="404" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Sports_portal_bar_icon.jpg 366w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Sports_portal_bar_icon-252x300.jpg 252w" sizes="(max-width: 340px) 100vw, 340px" /></a>There are some sports that are always going to lead the way. The likes of soccer, </span><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/2019/12/11/2019-nfl-week-15-betting-picks-against-spread/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">football</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and ice hockey are always going to be firm favorites in our great country. But those are the ones that are getting all of the limelight, and they’re on three out of the many that we could have mentioned. But what that tends to mean, is that there are some sports that get left in the shadows, with some even referring to them as not real sport, just because they’re not one of the more infamous options to watch. But luckily, we feel like the underdogs are gaining a little bit more traction at the minute, with more and more people are finding themselves interested in what the sport has to offer. Whether looking at this from a spectators point of view, or if you’re looking to get into a hobby that isn’t as mainstream, there should be one below for you. So, if you keep on reading, we’ll show you some of the sports that are gaining a little bit more traction, and how you can get into them if that’s what you’re looking to do.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-16011"></span></p>
<p><b>Golfing</b></p>
<p><a href="https://www.rules.golf/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Golfing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> has long been a sport that everyone knows about, but not many people actually follow. It’s regarded to be an old man&#8217;s sport, and a lot of young people only know about golfing because of the scandals that Tiger Woods has been in the press for. But golfing is so much more than just an old man&#8217;s sport. Golfing requires focus, precision, and a hell of a lot of skills. For a newbie, simply hitting the ball down the range is going to be nearly impossible, let alone hitting it where you want to go. There are major tournaments and competitions to watch if you’re looking to find a new sport to dedicate your life to. It’s a slow sport, but one that comes with a lot of rewards for the player. If you’re looking to get into it as a hobby, you could start by going to a driving range to practice your swing, as we said even this is a struggle! You could then join a local club, which often means becoming a member at some sort of golfing resort, and then using their course to practice. You can practice anywhere in the country, or in fact the world, but most men like to be a member of one country club first.</span></p>
<p><b>Hunting</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hunting is such a taboo subject in this world, but in America, it’s a sport that’s still practiced. Rightly so, it’s far more governed than it ever used to be. Only certain game can be hunted, and it has to be done in specific areas. As long as the rules and regulations are followed, you won’t find yourself behind a prison door. Often people like to hunt because it’s a skillful pastime, it’s often peaceful, and it’s a release of aggression in a way. The hunt can take all day, with only one shot being fired. You need accuracy and precision which is only going to come with practice, and good equipment. There are many weapons suitable for hunting but you need to make your decision based on what animal you’re hunting, state laws, and what you’re comfortable using. It could be a specialized hunting rifle, a shotgun using <a href="https://bulkmunitions.com/buy-ammo/shotgun/12-gauge-ammo/">buckshot</a>, or any number of specialist weapons. It’s important you get advice from a professional, especially if you’re new to the sport. If you </span><a href="https://survivalgenesis.com/best-binoculars-for-hunting/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">click here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, you’ll find a website full of equipment that you might need to use, but most importantly, binoculars. There are three essentials for hunting. Good camouflage, good vision, and a good gun. The rest is up to your own skill and precision. Hunting might not be your thing, and you might be completely against it, which is fine. If so, then some of the other sports might suit you a little bit more.</span></p>
<p><b>Tennis</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis is another slow sport to watch. It’s a lot of back and forth with your head, watching from player to player as they hit the ball to one another. That might have made it sound a little bit slower than it is. For the players, it’s about lightning reflexes, precision shots, and excellent footwork. To become a full time professional tennis players takes years of practice. Often they begin as young children, and never drop the hobby. For a spectator, it’s just a nice day out to go and watch the tennis. Often they’re big events, held during the summer so the weather is nice. For the players, the match can go on for such a long time, requiring endurance and a test of mental ability. Tennis is so easy to get into if it’s something you’re interested in. There will be at least on amateur club in your area. Or you could simply go to courts with your friends!</span></p>

The </span><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/2019/06/21/2019-nba-draft-best-undrafted-players/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">basketball player</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> who can shoot a flawless penalty basket; the tennis player who can hold his nerve in a tie-break, and the athletics champion who can bring their A-game to a crowd of screaming fans &#8211; it all requires psychological toughness. You could have the most skilled sportsperson on the training ground, but if they don’t have the mental fortitude to perform at their best when it counts, then they’ll forever fail. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sports psychologists have spent decades studying the world’s top athletes to find out how they think differently from the average person. Superstars don’t arrive at the top of a sport by chance: they get in a mental place that allows them to dominate the game and come out on top as the victor. What are their secrets? And how can you apply them in your own life?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span id="more-15685"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The great thing about </span><a href="https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-sports-psychology-2794906"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sports psychology</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> is that once you know the principles, you don’t have to apply it solely to the realm of sport. You can put the lessons you learn into practice in business and even your relationships. Here are sports psychologist secrets you need to know.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>You Need To Believe Unconsciously That You’ll Succeed</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The majority of people live in the prison of their unconscious mind. Their unconscious tells them the success that they can expect in their lives and the kind of level that they can achieve. The horrible thing about these self-limiting beliefs is that they are invisible and, often, inaccessible by the conscious mind.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">People with self-limited beliefs often come to believe that they don’t have the skills or the talent to become a professional sports personality. Their parents, culture, and people they spend time with can all feed the bias of the unconscious mind. This primes it to believe things that aren’t necessarily true. Who is to say that you can’t become a world-class basketball player by doing </span><a href="https://www.breakthroughbasketball.com/training/workouts.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">basketball workouts at home</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">?&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nasketbal-ua.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-15686" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nasketbal-ua.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="401" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nasketbal-ua.jpg 700w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nasketbal-ua-300x201.jpg 300w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/nasketbal-ua-624x417.jpg 624w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></a></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The work of sports psychologists is to reprogram the unconscious mind. A person has to believe on a deep level that they can succeed so that they avoid self-sabotaging on the way up. A soccer player who </span><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/unconscious-beliefs_b_863178"><span style="font-weight: 400;">unconsciously believes</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> that she can never progress past Sunday league will probably continue to play in a way that means that she can never progress past that stage. Unconscious beliefs are often self-fulfilling.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>You Can’t Let Past Experiences Inform Your Future Beliefs</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When Roger Federer first entered Wimbledon in 1999, he barely made any progress and hardly picked up a game. He could have gone away from that tournament, believing that he had nothing to offer the tennis world. He could have packed his bags, and stayed away from Grand Slams forever. But Federer had an absolute ineffable belief about himself. He knew on some level that he possessed the talent he needed to see him through, at least to the quarter-finals.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The turning point undoubtedly came for </span><a href="https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2xodsz"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Federer in a 2003 Wimbledon match</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> against former champion Pete Sampras in the quarter-finals. Federer was still relatively unknown at the time. But during that match, he showed that he had the mental muscle to take on a seven-time champion like Sampras and win. Few people realized it at the time, but that moment was a genuine change of the guard. Federer would go on to dominate the tournament for the rest of the decade, quickly dispatching practically every other opponent that came his way.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If Federer had allowed past experiences to get the better of him, he would never have emerged from obscurity. He wouldn’t have had any of the success he now enjoys. And he would have remained a minor league player with practically no real-world impact.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><b>You Are Your Own Competition</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We live in a culture which tells us that we have to be better than the next guy to climb to the top of any industry. But this isn’t how it works in reality. What sports psychologists do is turn the focus of the sports star inwards on themselves. Instead of asking whether they can beat the best person in their sport, they always seek to improve their own abilities, whatever they may be. Doing this enables you to progress at a sensible pace. All you have to do is be one percent better than the day before, not match somebody who’s been on the professional circuit for a decade.&nbsp;</span></p>

Players at different levels (beginner, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">intermediate</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and pro) will also have different needs. As you continue playing, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">you</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> will realize certain equipment work </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">best</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for your gaming style, movement </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> capabilities.</span> Below are some tips on choosing the best tennis gear.</p>
<p><strong>Start with the essentials (racquet, ball)</strong></p>
<p><span id="more-15618"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are two things you can’t do without when playing tennis. The first item is a racquet. </span><a href="http://protennistips.net/how-to-choose-a-tennis-racquet/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis racquets come in different structures</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> so you can find standard 27 inch long racquets, extended length and head-balanced options. They are also strung differently and you can find options such as natural gut, monofilament, multifilament, synthetic gut and hybrid among others. When choosing a racquet, consider properties such as string tension, durability, power, control, feel and comfort. The second gear you will need is a tennis ball. One is usually sufficient, but tennis balls tend to get damaged so it is usually recommendable to have a couple just in case you need them. There are different types in the market with a fairly close quality range, so this shouldn’t be a tough decision to make.</span></p>
<p><strong>Buy the right clothing and shoes</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wearing the right tennis gear will help you settle more better the game. The first thing you will need is </span><a href="https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/features/how-choose-athletic-shoes#1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a pair of sturdy, comfortable tennis</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (sports) shoes. They should provide sufficient shock absorption and range of movement. Choose laced shoes with rubber back soul, interior padding and breathable exterior. You should also invest in a pair of shorts or skirts and a tennis t-shirt. Make sure you chose the right tennis shoe for your court. Grass courts have different requirements of gravel courts. You may also require knee and elbow straps if you are prone to injuries and comfortable sports bra (for female players).</span></p>
<p><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tennis-racket-net.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15619" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tennis-racket-net.jpg" alt="" width="568" height="375" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tennis-racket-net.jpg 568w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/tennis-racket-net-300x198.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Have different gear for training</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Training is not any different from an actual playing in terms of what you need. The only thing removed from that experience is real competition. You still need the same gear including a racquet, tennis balls, court and the right clothing. You should also get the best tennis bag to carry your gear and supplies. Simply compare the </span><a href="https://lifestyle.reviews/best-tennis-bags/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">top tennis bags reviewed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and pick an option that best suits your needs and style. One extra training gear you can add is the tennis ball machine. It is very helpful whether you want to compete at a professional level or simply want to improve various aspects of your game.</span></p>
<p><strong>Choose the right court</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can find tennis courts in local tennis clubs or community centers. Most courts are accessible for public training and leisure activities. All you need for the court is a tennis net which is usually available for rent, but you can also buy your own. Train in different types of courts to improve your flexibility and adaptability. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Other things you may need include tennis racquet grips and over-grips, tennis strings and racquet vibration dampener. These are all optional gear you may require as a pro tennis player.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Picking the right tennis gear can be an overwhelming process with all the options available. However, it is very important and impact significantly your gaming experience. If you have shoes that are too tight for instance, you will not be able to play comfortably. Worse yet, you may injure your feet or cause inflammation. This is the same case when you have sub-standard, non-ergonomic racquets and cheap quality tennis balls. You should therefore invest in the best tennis gear your budget can afford. It will not only improve your gaming, but also ensures you are safe on court.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sports-Mens-Rugby-Rugby-Team-Sports-Rugby-Game-3775642.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignright wp-image-15604" src="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sports-Mens-Rugby-Rugby-Team-Sports-Rugby-Game-3775642.jpg" alt="" width="333" height="392" srcset="https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sports-Mens-Rugby-Rugby-Team-Sports-Rugby-Game-3775642.jpg 495w, https://americaswhiteboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Sports-Mens-Rugby-Rugby-Team-Sports-Rugby-Game-3775642-255x300.jpg 255w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 333px) 100vw, 333px" /></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sports are a funny old thing. They exist in the exact middle spot between exercise and culture. We play them, we watch them, we even </span><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/2019/03/03/soccer-betting-tips-for-serious-money-makers/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">bet on their outcome</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. One can be obsessively in love with sports while never having played them in their lives, and one can also be an avowed sports nut, playing anything they can that involves a ball, yet live their whole lives happily without ever watching a game on the TV. Most Americans, however will have played a range of sports by the time they leave high school and have at least a layman’s knowledge of staples like football, baseball, basketball and soccer. But these sports really are just the tip of the iceberg.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-15603"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re looking for a new activity to keep you fit or a new pastime to help you to remain active despite a sedentary desk-job, it behoves you to think a little outside the box when choosing a new sport. Here are some great sports with a range of fantastic benefits that </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">all </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">readers should try at least once…</span></p>
<p><b>Golf</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While many of us enjoy fast-paced, explosive and dynamic sports, there’s a great deal to be said for golf. It may not be the best workout to be had, but it offers a range of great benefits for your hand-eye coordination, concentration, strategy and mental health.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Golf is a great stress-busting game, combining the various gratifications of competitive sports while also giving you access to fresh air, beautifully manicured grounds, trees and other plants. Play a few rounds at </span><a href="https://www.pga.com/golf-courses/details/fl/naples/golf-club-fiddlers-creek"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fiddler’s Creek Golf</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and it’s hard not to feel the stress of the day slip away. No wonder so many busy executives swear by it. There’s even evidence to suggest that playing golf </span><a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-05/ki-gpl053008.php"><span style="font-weight: 400;">could help you live up to 5 years longer</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">!</span></p>
<p><b>Boxing</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Even if you’ve never thrown a punch in your life (and don’t ever intend to), boxing is still a great stress-busting sport and one of the best cardiovascular workouts there is! Boxing rounds only last 3 minutes but they are among the most gruelling 3 minutes you’ll ever experience in the world of sport. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boxing is great for heart health as well as physical strength and coordination. What’s more, there’s no better way to let go of the frustrations of your day than punching the hell out of a bag! Even if you don’t feel up to stepping into the ring there are a great many training drills you can try without ever needing to spar with another boxer.</span></p>
<p><b>Tennis</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tennis is one of the most fun sports out there and it’s astonishing that so few people take the chance to try it out. It’s a great full-body workout that burns over </span><a href="https://www.livestrong.com/article/444674-how-many-calories-does-an-hour-of-medium-intensity-tennis-burn/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">400 calories an hour</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> when playing singles and almost 300 calories an hour when playing doubles. It’s also a great mood booster and a fantastic way to vent after a busy day.</span></p>
<p><b>Rugby</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Finally, if you’ve tried your hand at football and want to try something a little different, how about giving its British cousin rugby a try? Named after the town in which it was invented, rugby football was created during a soccer game when one of the players picked up the ball and started running with it. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">It may not be quite as high-impact as football, but perhaps that’s as well as players wear no padding (except maybe a headguard). The British have a saying “Give blood, play rugby!”. It’s not for the faint hearted but you’ll find no better strength and cardio workout. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">A great game for playing with groups of friends! </span></p>

Of course you do, what’s not to love? But maybe you want to add a little more variety to your interests. You might be an avid follower of football or baseball, but you yearn for a fresh thrill. Not to worry, below are three popular sports you can start following now and discussing at length on forums or with your friends.</span></p>
<p><b>Horse racing</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is a hugely popular sport to follow, and not just because you can make a decent amount of money betting on it. Going to the race is an event in itself, with many people dressing up in their best clothes and making a full day of it </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">while watching the </span><a href="https://www.kruzey.com.au/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">horse racing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Obviously, a huge part of the culture is “having a little flutter” on the races, and if that’s your thing, then companies like The Professional Syndicate can help you increase your chances of coming home with more than you left with. But all in all, it’s a great way to spend an afternoon. There’s nothing quite like being surrounded by hundreds or thousands of people who are all thoroughly enjoying themselves and are fully invested in the action.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-13112"></span></p>
<p><b>Boxing or MMA</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Often referred to as ‘the noble art,’ nothing comes close to the sheer rawness of two people going toe to toe in the ring. There is a huge culture surrounding </span><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/2012/06/10/boxing-is-fixed-manny-pacquiao-loses-to-timothy-bradley/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">boxing</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and many fortunes have been won and lost betting on the outcome of two athletes in peak physical condition battling it out. MMA has also had a huge surge of interest in the last decade, and many of the top athletes are becoming household names. You can even have a go yourself from the comfort of your own home, with many computer games being available for both sports. </span></p>
<p><b>Tennis</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As quintessentially British as the strawberries and cream that are served to the spectators. But there’s something hypnotic about the simplicity of the game. The power of the athletes as they serve at over 150 mph, the speed and agility as they change direction, the silence that falls upon the stands during play, and the intense concentration in the crucial moments of serving and match points all add to the drama of the sport. It truly is a great way to spend time as a spectator, and it’s a fun sport to get involved with too. Whether you’re happy just to get a rally going between you and another player, or if you want to take things a bit more seriously, there’s a club for every skill level.</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, there you have it sports lovers. Three other sports you could find a new frenzy for outside the usual go-to choices. Give them all a try and see if any capture your imagination. You could also look for others that aren’t on the list, from the more popular alternatives, like golf, to the more obscure, like </span><a href="http://www.justrabbits.com/rabbit-shows.html"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rabbit agility and show jumping</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. There are countless options, and one of them might just be the sport you had missing from your life all along.</span></p>

<p>With the NBA Finals now over, and the soccer season well and truly finished, many sports fans have retreated for the rest of the year, awaiting their favorites to return. This time of the year can seem like a bit of a drag when it comes to major sporting events. But look a little closer and you can soon see that the sporting calendar still has a lot to offer, especially for those who like to put their money where their mouth is.</p>
<p>One of the most popular times of the year for sports enthusiasts is during the Wimbledon tennis tournament in the U.K. from July 3<sup>rd</sup> -16<sup>th</sup>. People placing wagers for sports fans are on fire for these matches, as punters try to guess the match outcomes and the tournaments outright. This year&#8217;s men&#8217;s singles is set to be exceptionally close, with both <u><a href="http://www.eurosport.co.uk/tennis/wimbledon/2017/roger-federer-rightly-favourite-for-wimbledon-he-s-ready-to-win-record-crown_sto6230286/story.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roger Federer and Andy Murray close favorites</a></u> with 2/1 and 3/1, respectively. If you want to take a slight outside wager then Rafael Nadal is a good option.</p>
<p><span id="more-12129"></span></p>
<p>If you want to watch or place a wager on a tennis game that is closer to home, then you&#8217;ll have to wait until September 29<sup>th</sup> to catch the U.S. Tennis Open in New York, which is also set to be an exciting event.</p>
<p>I know what some of you will be thinking by now. Where is the adrenaline? Without the NBA, how will you truly get your kicks? I recommend tuning in for the Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor fight on the August 26<sup>th</sup>. It should be legendary.</p>
<p>For anyone who hasn&#8217;t heard of this match-up, Mayweather is coming out of retirement to square off with UFCs McGregor, a man that has never actually had a boxing match in his life. Mixed martial arts trained McGregor will not be allowed to use kicks or groundwork, and will be bound by the rules of boxing, leading many to believe that <u><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/boxing/2017/06/26/manny-pacquiao-thinks-floyd-mayweather-beat-conor-mcgregor/428125001/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mayweather is a firm favorite</a></u> to win, but if you want to take a chance on the outsider, then consider that McGregor is not to be taken lightly –he could pull it off!</p>
<p>Back to the green grass and relaxed atmosphere with a bit of golf. The next truly worthy event of the summer is the U.K. Open Championship on July 20<sup>th</sup> -23<sup>rd</sup>, the only major championship outside of U.S. soil, and the oldest in the world. The U.S. Championship is now finished, so this is the next best thing to place a wager on. Dustin Johnson is the current favorite with <u><a href="https://www.betstars.uk/odds/british-open-golf-betting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">17/2 odds on BetStars</a></u>, but Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth are not far behind him. Additionally, many of the top golfers have similar odds, making for an interesting outright wager.</p>
<p>The U.S. PGA Championship will be the last of the four major tournaments and takes place in North Carolina on the August 10<sup>th</sup>.</p>
<p>You might be glad to know that soccer is back on the cards, too, with the 2017/18 Premier League season set to begin on the August 13<sup>th</sup>. Shortly after this, you can catch the 2018 World Cup qualifiers, starting with Group C matches between Malta and England and Lithuania and Scotland on September 1<sup>st</sup>. The regular NBA season starts once again on October 20<sup>th</sup>, and we can&#8217;t wait, but until then let&#8217;s kick back and enjoy the summer&#8217;s sporting events.</p>

Well, maybe it’s time you stopped being a passive spectator and became an active participant. Making that transition is not even as hard as you might imagine it to be. Anyone can do it once they put their mind to it and take the right steps. But what are those steps? Read on to find out.</span></p>
<p><b>Don’t Take the Know it All Attitude</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This is one mistake that people often make when they are picking up a sport for the first time. Just because you have watched lots of other people play sport on TV, that doesn’t mean you really understand anything about playing the sport yourself. Those are two entirely separate things, and you need to remember that. If you adopt a know it all kind of attitude, you will just end up looking stupid and alienating those around you.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-11872"></span></p>
<p><b>Start as a Beginner Would Because That’s What You Are</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You need to remember that you’re a beginner, and that’s going to be the case for a while yet. So, take the steps that a beginner would. Find out how you can get involved and get started. Don’t assume that you are able to just jump in without learning about the sport. You should ensure that you know the rules and the basics of the game. Or get lessons from someone who can teach you about all these important things.</span></p>
<p><b>Get the Right Equipment</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Having the right equipment in place is obviously going to be very important. If you want to play golf, you will need the right golf clubs, a carrier, shoes and gloves. You can find those kind of items at </span><a href="https://www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk	"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.thegolfshoponline.co.uk</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Some sports demand more equipment that others, so do keep that in mind. It might mean having to invest a little cash to get started, but it should all be worth it in the end. And it’s vital to play the sport in the right way if you want to keep at it.</span></p>
<p><b>Join a Team, Club or Group</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can’t go it alone in most sports either. To get a proper experience and to grow as a competitor, you need to join a team, a club or a group that allows you to get participate. Having that competitive element can help you a lot. And you will hopefully be able to build friendships and relationships with the people you meet when you do this as well. Having a social dimension to it will help you to keep going because they’ll spur you on.</span></p>

<p><b>Track Your Progress and Expand Your Abilities</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the best things about participating in a new sport is tracking your own growth and progress as you get better and better. It’s incredibly satisfying to see your hard work pay off in this way. Try to track your progress and do everything you can to expand your own abilities. If you do that, you will have plenty to look forward to.

The rush of energy that surges through the crowd when a player does something amazing. The tension as the clock ticks down when a match is so close. Wondering if a player is going to beat their personal best. The sheer sense of camaraderie and community that forms when you&#8217;re in the stands cheering without hundreds, even thousands, of other people all swept up in </span><a href="http://www.wikihow.com/Behave-in-a-Sports-Arena" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">the love of the game</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Sure you can watch a lot of it on TV or online these days, but it simply doesn&#8217;t capture the sheer magic of getting to see it happen in person. Not only that but there are some events that are the kinds of things that you really do need to see in person. With that in mind, here are some amazing sporting events that you won&#8217;t want to miss in 2017.</span></p>
<p><span id="more-11417"></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Dubai World Cup</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you ever needed a reason to visit one of the most remarkable places in the world, this is it! Not only is it one of the biggest sporting events in the world but it&#8217;s also the world&#8217;s richest horse race with over thirty million dollars handed out to the winners!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anzac Day Clash</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Set up as a way to honor those who served their country in World War Two, this annual Australian rules soccer match is definitely worth getting </span><a href="https://www.theticketmerchant.com.au/product/afl-anzac-day-tickets/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ANZAC day tickets</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and traveling for. It sees Collingwood and Essendon facing off on Anzac day, which is a day of remembrance across Australia and New Zealand to remember all those who fought and lost their lives in combat throughout history.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Masters</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first of the four major golf tournaments, The Masters is by far the most well known and features many of the greatest golfers in the world. Held every year in Georgia, this tournament is one of the things that every self-respecting golf fan really does have to witness in person at least once in their life.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tour de France</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Speaking of things that everyone should experience at least once in their life, there really is no excuse for any </span><a href="https://americaswhiteboy.com/2017/02/20/outdoor-activities-worth-getting-out-of-bed-for/" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">sports fan</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> not to travel to see the Tour de France. Not only do you get a chance to see some of the world&#8217;s premier athletes battling it out for the title across miles of gorgeous French landscape, but you also get to experience the incredibly French culture and towns that come bustling to life with markets, stores and cafes whenever the tour passes through.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The US Open</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you&#8217;re going to see one tennis grand slam this year, make sure that it&#8217;s The US Open.
