Golf club brands: What's your favorite?

The world of golf has a wide variety of products and brands. You can get a basic set of golf clubs for a few bucks while you will find some very specific, taylor made clubs for several thousands of dollars. But the golf industry is not only about the clubs. If you want to start playing you will need shoes, a bag, a good set of balls, a package of tees, probably a pair of gloves as well as some other accessories.

The most important thing before buying anything is what you are looking for, how much knowledge of the game you have and how much money you are willing to spend. For example, Nike is a great brand around the world and it has become very popular (specially after sponsoring Tiger Woods for so many years). However, players who are really into golf know that Nike aims to the general audience rather than the elite, more sophisticated players.

Yoga basics. A great activity for body and mind.

Yoga is a great activity for your body, mind and spirit. But don't think it's easy because you might get surprised. Here are some examples of the exercises you have to perform:

Utthita Pada Sirsasana
Adho Mukha Svanasana

Soccer positions, formations and more tactic concepts.

If you have any questions about the strategy a team uses to beat another, you came to the right place. Soccer is a game where 11 players try to beat another group of players (the same number) putting into practice the concepts trained during the week.

So how is a coach able to teach all the abilities required to make a team work well together? The most important thing is that players need to have good physical and technical principles in order to understand what the coach is trying to teach them.

Running for beginners. A chronicle.

So you decided to take your first steps in the amazing world of running. Great! You went to your favorite retail store and bought those beautiful shiny sneakers, which that kind lady told you were the last trend.

You set your alarm last night but you wake up just before the beeping started, you get dressed in a hurry with your new gear (including the new ipod nano), you are full of energy and think that the 41 Fahrenheit won't stop you.

You drive towards the nearest park, you have been told that it is a great place to run. Once you are there, you start wondering:
- "Should I stretch?" You think.
- "How much time should I run?"
- "Should I walk first?"
