Are you looking for a new hobby? Perhaps you would be interest in something that enriches the lives of others. This is what I think about coaching youth basketball. There is really nothing like working with young people to help them build their self-esteem and get good exercise too.

I can tell you that I have been involved in youth basketball coaching for over a year now, and there has never been a more rewarding experience in my life thus far. You really should not take my word for it alone. You have to try youth basketball coaching to believe it.

The gulf between rich and poor clubs has never been greater. The amount of money circulating in the game has never been greater. The amount of players instantly becoming multi millionaires and buying fast cars and large mansions have never been greater. However, more sadly, the amount of clubs, especially ones with a lot of prestige and history behind them, going under have never been greater.

There’s always something wrong in seeing a football club, especially one which gets packed houses, struggle to break even and compete for a title. Just as the amount of money circulating has increased, the cost of staying in the game has increased as well.

China is now less than a month away from hosting the Games of the 29th Olympiad and at the same time, being the host country for the Olympic football tournament, the second biggest international tournament after the World Cup. In fact, this tournament gives an indication of how teams are placed for the following 2 World Cups, and as a result, it is not a tournament that is taken lightly. Who doesn’t want to win a gold medal at the Olympics? One thing that many people are not aware of is that the Olympic tournament preceded the World Cup and it inspired FIFA to organise its world tournament. Hence, it is a tournament with a very rich history.
