How Sports Cars Work
Then, starting in 1913, one Henry Ford made the motorcar itself universal by using a moving assembly line to crank out his simple Model T with unheardof speed in unheardof numbers. Competition and free enterprise did the rest. Soon, most anyone who wanted a car could afford one.
It was in this heady, fastpaced era of technical innovation and industrial growth that the sports car began to emerge as something beyond mere transportation. As pioneer American auto journalist Ken Purdy explained it: "The automobile had tremendous appeal for the sportsman of the [early 1900s]: It was the fastest vehicle at man's bidding, it was new, much about it was unknown. It offered a great challenge."
To the manufacturers, turning out perhaps a few score automobiles a year, racing was the best kind of advertising. Because it was a brandnew sport, the newspapers gave it extensive news coverage, and the manufacturer whose car won an important race on Saturday could be sure of a full order book the following Monday evening." In short, the first racing cars were also the first sports cars. They've been close cousins ever since.
But the pundits were wrong again. Liberated by unpredecented prosperity in the early postwar years, some Americans began rejecting homegrown automotive values for cars that looked good and were actually fun to drive. Though no one knew it at the time, a revolution was underway. The sports car was about to captivate America as never before.
In the following pages, you will be able to trace the exciting history of sports cars, from their postwar boom to the present day. Along the way you will also find links to individual sports car profiles that offer history, specs, and photos. In addition, you can also read sports car reviews and browse through our sports cars by year and manufacturer.

How To Coach Children in Baseball
How To Coach Children in Baseball
The love for sports usually starts when we are young. But notice how some adults lament about their botched athletic dreams. And all too often the reason behind their not pursuing a specific sport is because they were traumatized by the way a coach handled their training and instruction. There is more to teaching the baseball basics when one decides to coach baseball to young children.
First, ensuring your team's health is of the utmost importance. Parents who have their kids attend baseball camps or clinics trust the coaches that their kids are safe and monitored. While accidents are inevitable in sports, it is your responsibility to teach and uphold basic safety measures to protect your team. There are very talented players who started out young but ended up not pushing through with the sport because of an injury.
Second, coaches make the usual mistake of expecting too much from their team. Remember that these are kids, and that most of them are there to start out in the sport. So naturally, their skills would not be as polished as you may expect them to be. Setting realistic expectations and goals is crucial. You avoid discouraging the kids and yourself as well.
Baseball basics are of course best learned through constant practice. But since clinics last only a few hours a day, and most of baseball camps are held only during school vacations, making training a fun and inviting activity will encourage them to practice outside of your class. It might be a good idea to have some baseball techniques, such as correct pitching or catching of ground balls, taught prior to ending the class. Persuade the children to practice these with their siblings at home.
During a game, notice how a coach might fuss over a player's strikeout but gloat over a home run. Some even go so far as ridiculing the kids from other teams. While the spirit of competition should always be there as a factor to drive the kids to perform well in baseball, showing such disgraceful behavior from no less than the coach will impart a very negative message to the children. It is always best to use positive reinforcement with kids. Congratulate them for a job well done, but do not condemn them for messing up.
Every baseball enthusiast has some desire to coach baseball. Always remember that it's the passion for the sport that must be given the most weight. Teaching the basics is not your only job as coach, rather it's showing them to love the sport enough to want to perform at their best.

Add Power to Your Sport Using Your Hips
Add Power to Your Sport Using Your Hips
This is the secret of ancient masters who were able to perform athletic feats even in old age. People noted that veteran players who have mastered their sport performed gracefully and with apparent ease, though mostly average in body size. This is especially observed among martial arts experts in the East who bested opponents often bigger and taller than they were.
It will help even nonathletic people in their daily chores to know that so much physical effort and muscle strain could be avoided if they only realize that true physical power starts from the hips down. Activities like pushing, pulling, lifting, walking, and running can all be made easier if we use our hips correctlyand even avoid body aches that often accompany wrong body maneuvers.
Swinging a baseball bat or golf club, pitching a ball, spiking a volley ball, shooting a basketball, delivering a hook or throwing a jab in boxing, doing a dead liftall these depend on the use of the hip.
Without the correct use of the hip, the move becomes powerless and quite frequently awkward. Besides, it may end up straining your back or tearing a muscle.
A body motion, especially one made to exert excessive effort, should be timed to cause a smooth body flow and coordination. That's why we often count 1 to 3 before we give a heavy task all we have. This timing need not always be consciously numbered; it often goes on automatically in us when we set out to do a skill.
Now here's the secret: the timing and the smooth body flow should always coincide with a good sway of the hip. The force applied must always be supplemented with a hip sway. Without this, the timing and smooth flow will all be outward show, lack any real power, and even worse, may cause injury.
But with a good mix of timing, flow, and enough hip movement, the performance becomes dynamite! Hence, masters often say you should put yourself into the punch, or go with the force.
But make sure the hip sway is just enough to send a bolt of power, and not throw you off balance. A power "surge" (or a full sway of the hips) can also help at times, but be sure that it does not compromise your stance and balance.
Try throwing a ball with a stiff body posture, with only an arm moving to throw the ball. Then, try throwing it again with your arm swinging as your hip sways (in the same direction) and your legs giving way to your hip sways. You'd see the obvious difference. Power is mostly in the hip.
The next time you grab, lift, or do anything, remember that the hip bridges the body to the legs. Without the hip, neither body nor legs are hooked up to real power.
