What to bring to camp!
When choosing a sport camp that will have you spending nights away from home, it is important to pack appropriately:
If you are bringing a new pair of sport shoes, be sure to spend some time breaking them in before camp.
Remember any medications you need such as prescriptions, asthma inhaler, etc.
Take a large enough fan (and extension cord) to make it a bit easier to sleep on hot muggy nights.
An alarm clock will be essential for that early morning wake-up call.
Check with the camp to find out if towels and bed linens are supplied.
Take your own pillow and any other night time comforts that will help you get the sleep you need.
Pack a wide-mouth water bottle. Sports drinks are okay, but not necessary.
Do yourself a favor and spend two to three weeks before camp starts doing some running, stretching, sport specific movements and even some weight lifting.
One last suggestion...go to camp with an open mind, willing to learn new ways to perform the skills you may already know.
Suzyn Waldman is the first woman to broadcast a World Series Game |
|
On Wednesday, October 28, Suzyn Waldman became the first woman to broadcast a World Series game on the radio. In the middle of Game 1 on Wednesday, the Yankees honored the veteran broadcaster for reaching this milestone. "It was very important to me, and it meant a lot," Waldman said. "It really meant a lot to me. It's the highest thing you can do in baseball, broadcast a World Series game." Waldman is known for her achievements as a woman in sports broadcasting, working consistently in radio and on television since the mid-1990s. Her involvement with the Yankees has been monumental in her becoming the first woman World Series broadcaster, and in all the boundaries she has broken along the way. Waldman was the second woman in history to serve as the regular color commentator for a Major League Baseball team, and the second woman to serve as a play-by-play announcer. She credits former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for hiring her as an analyst at a time when jobs for women were scarce in sports broadcasting. "If I live to be 150, I could never thank George Steinbrenner enough," Waldman said. She currently works alongside John Sterling on WCBS radio as the color commentator for the Yankees, a position she has held since 2005.
