  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

  • COLE MILLER from Kc to the Whl
    WINTER 2020 weyland siblings supporting each other on & off the ice! Feature Interviews With: COLE MILLER From kc to the whl Wes McCauley NHL’s top referee Hockey participation offers families value beyond making an individual player a better player or even a better athlete. The game of hockey is a powerful platform for participants to build character, foster positive values and develop important life skills. These benefits are available to all players, desirable to every family and transcend the game. WE BELIEVE • Hockey should be an enjoyable family experience; all stakeholders-organizations, players, parents, siblings, coaches, referees, volunteers and rink operators-play a role in this effort. • Hockey’s greatest value is the role it plays in the development of character and life skills. ISSUE • All hockey organizations, regardless of size or level of competition, bring value to players and families in their abaility to deliver a positive family experience. • Physical activity is important for a healthy body, mind and spirit. • There are significant benfits of youth participation in multiple sports. • Hockey programs should be age-appropriate for all players, accounting for each individual’s physical, emotional and cognitive devlopment. • There is great value in all forms of hockey, both on and off the ice. • All hockey programs should provide a safe, positive and inclusive environment for players and families regardless of race, colour, religion, national origin, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation and socio- econmic status. Simply put, hockey is for everyone. We believe in our ability to improve lives and strengthen communities globally through hockey. We believe that by living by these principals will provide a health, balanced, and enjoyable experience for all and inspure impactful service beyond the rink.

  • Origins of Canadian Olympic Weightlifting
    1 Page # June 30, 2011. ORIGINS OF CANADIAN OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTING INTRODUCTION The author does not pretend to have written everything about the history of Olympic weightlifting in Canada since Canadian Weightlifting has only one weightlifting magazine to refer to and it is from the Province of Québec “Coup d’oeil sur l’Haltérophilie”, it is understandable that a great number of the articles are about the Quebecers. The researcher is ready to make any modification to this document when it is supported by facts of historical value to Canadian Weightlifting. (Ce document est aussi disponible en langue française) The early history of this sport is not well documented, but weightlifting is known to be of ancient origin. According to legend, Egyptian and Chinese athletes demonstrated their strength by lifting heavy objects nearly 5,000 years ago. During the era of the ancient Olympic Games a Greek athlete of the 6th century BC, Milo of Crotona, gained fame for feats of strength, including the act of lifting an ox onto his shoulders and carrying it the full length of the stadium at Olympia, a distance of more than 200 meters. For centuries, men have been interested in strength, while also seeking athletic perfection. Early strength competitions, where Greek athletes lifted bulls or where Swiss mountaineers shouldered and tossed huge boulders, gave little satisfaction to those individuals who wished to demonstrate their athletic ability. During the centuries that followed, the sport continued to be practiced in many parts of the world. Weightlifting in the early 1900s saw the development of odd-shaped dumbbells and kettle bells which required a great deal of skill to lift, but were not designed to enable the body’s muscles to be used efficiently.

  • State and District Promotional Toolkit (Pdf)
    RESOURCES AND TIPS FOR ADVOCACY OF THE ATHLETIC TRAINING PROFESSION AT THE LOCAL, STATE AND DISTRICT LEVEL. The purpose of this toolkit is to equip state and district athletic trainers’ associations with resources and knowledge to effectively promote At Your Own Risk and advocate for change in their communities through improving awareness of risk and the athletic trainers’ role in risk mitigation. At Your Own Risk is a public awareness campaign for athletic trainers developed by NATA. The mission of At Your Own Risk is to educate, provide resources and equip the public to act and advocate for safety in work, life and sport. Project goals for this initiative include: 1. Create ambassadors for the athletic training profession and for causes championed by athletic trainers. 2. Reinforce the athletic trainer’s position as an authority in athlete safety. 3. Clearly define how key stakeholders can get involved to impact change and improve safety for the physically active athlete and/or worker, given their area(s) of influence. Based on the findings of the 2015 “Athletic Training Services in Public Secondary Schools: A Benchmark Study” which showed that only 37% of public high schools have a full time athletic trainer, secondary schools are the primary emphasis for At Your Own Risk. Key stakeholders for this group include student athletes, parents, school administrators, risk managers and legislators. Over the next 3 years, At Your Own Risk will be rolled out to other settings and stakeholder groups including occupational health, military and the college and university setting. These resources serve as great tools for your association and your members to engage with and educate the public on issues relevant to the athletic training profession.
