Mental Health and the Pressure of Performance

“We wonder why mental health is a hot debate in athletics while we see statements like ‘you’re just a quitter’ in the comment section of most athlete mental health coverage stories. It highlights truly how misunderstood they are," says Cory Camp, the author of Forever Athlete, a collection of tales from athletes nationwide.

The Legend of the Cheerleading Spirit Stick

The legend of the cheerleading spirit stick has been passed down through generations of peppy youngsters since the 1950s. But why is a piece of plastic so widely "praised?" 

#ScaryEvents is Back for Year 2!

SportsEvents is bringing all things tricks, treats, and more right to your social media feed!

Who is Getting the Blame for Toxic Sports Culture?

Toxic sports culture is a thing and should not be taken lightly. When we are trying to get our children to sign up because it is fun then get mad when said child loses, a switch flips. After all, aren’t sports supposed to teach people one of the most valuable lessons in life? You win some you lose some?

Referee Shortages are the Last Thing We Need Right Now, Part 2

For example, in June at a Florida basketball tournament, a 19-year-old player was charged with a misdemeanor after throwing a series of punches at a referee. In a Kansas City tournament, after becoming upset by a whistle call during a basketball game, a coach shoved an official. The official then tried to retaliate, other coaches, a player, and spectators, surrounded the official while hitting, punching, and knocking him to the floor. A hockey official is also recovering from sustained injuries after a player clubbed him with his stick. The man has been left with a constant headache, blurred vision, and soreness. We need to do better.
