A. Colleges like it if you played sports in high school because it shows that you are a team player and that you have school spirit. It's not necessarily better than other extracurriculars, but it does look good to colleges.

A. It depends where you are located. If for example you are in the U.S. the law makes it illegal for banking institutions to be used for gambling purposes. Thus, if an online sportsbook does take U.S. customers than the number of withdrawal options will be limited and in some cases, it may take a long time for you to receive your withdrawal. Recently, many bookmakers that cater to U.S. customers have had delays going as long as 3 months before a U.S customer could receive his withdrawal. If you are located outside of the U.S., like in the U.K., Canada, Australia or other countries where it is legal to bet on sports online, most sportsbooks can get you your money in a fast and efficient manner. Thus, sportsbooks that cater to the U.S.… [cont.]

In the case of sports marketing it involves get consumer to buy more sports stuffs...ie) tickets, jerseys, anything that has a logo or "brand" on it. Sports management would involve contracts, dealing with talent, managing workers ie. sports talent etc.

A. Running and swimming are both examples of great exercise regimes that do not 'bulk' a person up. You could also investigate dancing, and if you don't think dancing is a 'sport,' boy are you in for a surprise! Dancing is a great way to exercise while doing something truly enjoyable! Yoga is never a bad thing. Pilates is also great!

Although I'm not sure why (considering it doesn't really pertain to sports) Boras specializes in medical litigation.

What is the origin of sports players wearing black armbands?
Q. Sports players will frequently wear black armbands to commemorate the death of a teammate or close colleague - for instance, the Liverpool/Manchester City players are wearing them today in memory of the Motherwell captain who passed away yesterday. My question(s) are: (a) Where did the wearing of black armbands first originate? Would I be correct in guessing that it's something to do with the military? (b) When was the first recorded instance of sports players wearing black armbands?

Asked by susannehurst - Sun Nov 9 11:08:30 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Definitely wear a sports bra. If you get the right size there's no reason to wear a regular bra under it (that's a silly idea IMHO). Your cup size isn't big enough to require 2+ bra support during exercise. Sports bras, like the Shock Absorber, have numbers to them (not the size!) that tell you what form of exercise they're meant for. For example, a 1 sports bra is low impact bra - like yoga. Numbers 4-5 are the highest impact - for running and also basketball. So whatever bra you'll get make sure you get one meant for high impact sports. You don't have to buy an overly expensive bra but I recommend you do invest in a good quality sports bra, they'll offer better support and last longer. You can look for them in sports stores or online (li [cont.]
