Paragliding

I started smoking 2 months ago, I smoke 4 cigarettes a day, sometimes 6-7 on weekends. Im going to stop in August, will my athletic ability be affected or will I still be healthy when the football season starts.

Considering you’re not up to a pack a day it’s not that serious yet. It wont have any major effects now, but the longterm ones will bite you in the ass if you don’t quit SOON. You probably want to quit 3-4 months before season. After quitting you will get sick and congested (you will be coughing up mucus for a while, its good though it means your body is recovering from that nasty stuff) You’ll need a month for sickness, a month for recovery (rebuild your immune system, cut junkfood for a week or two) and lastly a month for training your lungs to hold the regular amount of air it used to. Good luck!! :3

I am a bit confused about the difference between a jock strap and an athletic supporter, please help!

An athletic supporter could also be a fan; a person who supports that team….

I want to become an athletic director so how do I start? I graduate next year with my Bachelor’s in Business and Sports Management. Should I coach this upcoming summer? Do I need to get a teacher certificate? I need some help so I can get started.

You should at least have some varsity level coaching experience, and preferably some coaching experience in more than one sport. If you want to be in a high school setting, you should have teaching credentials, probably in phys. ed. so that you are qualified to supervise all the sports activities. If you want to be AD in a college, you should still be a PE major but having teaching credentials would not be required. You would probably need even more coaching experience, I would guess.

So I’ve gone to gyms before but they never really worked for my because I have a lot of injuries so I couldn’t do a lot of the machines that they had. The athletic club that is in my area (ottawa orleans area) has a pool and a buch of other thing that I could do. I was just wondering how much it was.

If it has many amenities, it is meant to be more exclusive than the general community center. Therefore, call and speak to the director of admissions for the information or look on the website.

I go to school and I plan on being an Athletic Trainer when I get out. I am doing a research paper for school and I need to know what injuries do athletic trainers have the right to take care of, and which injuries they don’t have the right to take care of. Any information is helpful, thanks.

You know, you could have asked me this in the training room….silly. For a general idea of what the scope of practice of an athletic trainer is, go to www. nata.org. This gives a general description of our profession as well as the six domains that cover what we do. In general, we will take care of sprains, strains, contusions, wounds, etc. Management of concussions also falls under our scope of care. If something falls outside of our scope of practice, it is our job to identify that, and refer the injured athlete to the proper advanced care. Obviously I’m not going to reset a fractured bone, but I do have to splint the injury until the athlete can be taken to the doctor for further treatment.

I am going to a beach in Europe with friends, but I only brought my athletic speedo swimsuit (for females) because I’ve "outgrown" my other beach swimsuit. Is it weird to wear an athletic (black) swimsuit to the beach?

I would think so
the women in Europe don’t wear bathing suits like that, and they arent as modest

but do whatever makes you comfortable

So i want to wear boxers to, you know, its cool. I know they are comfortable and stuff, and i love wearing them under jeans, but my question……… When i put athletic shorts on top of them, my dick is clearly visible. Can you give me some tips on ho to wear boxers.

Dude man up your a male everyone know what kind of parts you have down there

Most athletic, NOT necessarily most successful. So Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods don’t fit this category. And neither does Muhammed Ali or Peyton Manning.

I want to know those who have the freakish abilities that the vast major of professional athletes don’t have. The speed demons, high fliers, and the ones with god-like motor skills — who are they?

roger federar…insane lateral movement very quick great shape, and great hand eye coordination
gsp…overall great athlete. fast, quick, strong, explosive
bo jackson…baseball and football…and great at both
lebron (im from st vincent st mary hs home of lebron) as much as i hate him he is a great athlete. power, speed, explosive,
deion sanders returner, db. great athlete
Paavo Nurmi…won 9 gold and 3 silver medals in the 12 events he competed in during the olympics between 1920-1928
and if u just want a complete freak…randy the natural couture. he fought his last fight a few weeks ago. he is 47, six pack, great shape, olympic wrestler, he is freak, not speed or anything but just a freak

And at what age do you think is athletic prime?

36 and 20

I am a rather tall girl and the normal tall "knee" socks do not come to my knees. Does anyone know where I can find some taller athletic socks? I would like them to be a more athletic-y material instead of mostly cotton because I would like them to stretch a little.
I want to know if anyone has found any good websites because I would like some reliable places to look.

Why don’t you wear thigh high socks? Thigh high socks comes to the thigh for most people, but for you, it should come to the knee area.
