Ability gets you to the top. Character keeps you there.
For someone that is roughly the same age as me, I am truly amazed by how much skateboarder Ryan Sheckler has already accomplished in his lifetime. He was born in 1989; by four years old, he was successfully completing ollies, and by 2003, at 13, he had turned pro. That same year, Ryan won first [...]

Most of what I already know about Jeremy Affeldt has been through my lifelong dedication to the San Francisco Giants. I will always remember that he was an essential part of helping us through the playoffs and ultimately winning the 2010 World Series. His career numbers are impressive; an overall 4.12 E.R.A. in the Majors, [...]
Kudos goes to San Jose Giants catcher, Tommy Joseph, who’s had an amazing past couple of weeks and who’s recent August success can serve as evidence against the contrary notion that ball players go through slumps, late in the season. For the week of August 8 through the 14th, Joseph was named California League Player [...]

One thing that I’ve really developed an appreciation for this year is how much positive attention and praise the X-Games has been gradually getting since its origination in 1995. The dynamics of alternative sporting events have changed. BMX and skateboarding, sports not once considered “sports,” are becoming much more acceptable fixtures. I’ve witnessed this progression [...]
The more I do research on sports-based foundations, the more I’m struck by just how powerful grassroots organizations can be. Although The Good In Sports has already touched on organizations working on fighting pediatric cancer, (“Strike Three, You’re Out Cancer”) I have, since then, found out about other organizations that also deserve recognition. One of [...]
Call it just a crazy dream of mine, but I’ve always wanted to run the Los Angeles Marathon. Granted, I’m a fairly consistent runner and try to eat as healthy as possible, but I’ve just never thought that running a full marathon would be something I could actually do, especially when competing against some of [...]
TORONTO, Ontario — After the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup win, led by that awesome bearded goalie, Tim Thomas, I’ve taken a mental break from hockey, a two-minute penalty, if you will. Well, maybe just switched over to baseball and the X-Games, instead. But even though it’s the summer offseason for hockey, we still shouldn’t forget how important [...]
