Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar

Perry Smith was a short man with a large torso. At first glance, “he seemed a more normal-sized man, a powerful man, with the shoulders, the arms, the thick, crouching torso of a weight lifter. [However] when he stood up he was no taller than a twelve-year old

Sir Donald Bradman, born in 1908, is the most renowned and respected of Australian cricketers who, although of retiring demeanour, attained heroic stature in the interwar period and captained Australia in test matches against England from 1936 to 1948. He represents an era, long gone, when sportsmen were gentlemen and the love of a game, not dubious 'star' status and huge financial rewards, was the inducement to play. In this way, too, he represents an Australia that has now receded into the romantic past, when the kind of man he was and the principles he espoused embodied a unified nation's beliefs about itself an understated confidence, even in hard times, a sense of fair play and a simplicity

He showed determination and character in his first major league at bat, driving a two-

“It was just being confident, working on my hitting, keep on driving the ball and going out there with confidence, don’t let the pitcher out-think you, just work on driving the ball," he said. "If he gets two strikes just work on putting out the play and see if you can beat anything out.”

When he yells, he strikes fear into his comrades. Along with leading by example, a captain should be able to speak up. When a teammate is harming the team he should speak up and let them know to stop what they are doing or to leave. A leader shouldn’t be quite and expect people to listen and follow them, he needs to speak up and take action.

Few months before, Kobe Bryant who is probably the most controversial player ended his 20-year basketball career. Experts made their comments about him which led to a dispute about whether he is the greatest player in 21st century. As a limitation, the players in 21st century means the players who spent most of his career in 21st century, which put Michael Jordan out of consideration. Hence, the range of the choices could be probably narrowed to three players: Tim Duncan, Lebron James and Kobe Bryant. Moreover, according to Dan Harriman, a professional writer mentioned, a great player is the one has his contribution on and off the court, which is also the reason Michael Jordon is generally considered as the greatest player ever (in 20th century? Better to mention). Namely, the greatest player is determined by both the achievements inside the court and the impact outside the court as a public character. As a result, it can be

People often came to the Engelettes stadium to see Mitchell pitch and were amazed by the speed and control of her pitchers. Only one scouting report describes it, “She uses an odd, side-armed delivery, and puts both speed and curve on the ball. Her greatest asset, however, is control. She can place the ball where she pleases, and her knack at guessing the weakness of a batter is uncanny.”(March 31, 1931, page 7). This caught the attention of Joe Engel, a man known for being a showman. (Gargolia, 70). He thought a

He demonstrates great attentiveness to the game and builds his confidence by it. When Dickey was in search of self-awareness, he had little to no confidence in his pitches. He relied heavily on his knuckle ball, but he could not throw it with demand; resulting in him letting up a lot of runs and putting his career at jeopardy. Once Dickey turned to his Christian faith, he began to find his self-awareness that he was searching for and started to excel in his performance. Although he did well, he wanted to be the best, so he paid attention to the game as a whole and realized that ‘one is only good as their last inning’.

To add on to the idea that a 3 foot 7 cake jumper during a doubleheader batting is odd, is most people are at least 5’ 10’’ or 11’’

1928-Don Bradman was selected to play Test cricket for Australia and at that first Test match in Brisbane, the Queenslanders were delighted to see ‘the baby’ of the Australian team bat. Sadly the team lost the first Test and a difficult batting wicket meant that Don was left out of the second test. However he made it back into

It was at Givany's camp that Cox was first introduced to Australian Rules Football. At 6'11", Cox had the requisite height that coaches seek in the AFL. However, it would ultimately be his soccer skills that would lead to the Mason Cox success story as he earned a tryout and eventually got himself signed to a professional contract to play with the Collingwood Football Club. It was an opportunity many experts believe will lead to a great

Though his stature wasn’t very tall, this small man lived out a fifteen yearlong baseball career with multiple teams creating quite a great name for himself. He started

Captains of sports teams are given the stereotype that they are the most athletic player on the team, scoring the most goals and handling the ball best. In truth, captains have a lot of work they have to do that doesn't even involve playing the sport. Captains are the most looked at player of the game; other players, younger kids and coaches look to them to set examples. They have to set examples in every aspect of the game; athleticism might be part of their job but it is not limited to it. The captain of any sports team must set the leadership standard for commitment, confidence, intelligence, and attitude.

When we think of golf in Bangladesh, the name of Siddiqur Rahman, a prominent golf star of Bangladesh, is pronounced first of all. Siddiqur Rahman had passed his boyhood days through severe hardship. He had a childhood life of struggle and spent his days in utmost misery. Golf in Bangladesh is a game totally for the privileged quarter but glory of Siddikur Rahman can only be termed as a fairy tale. Proving him as was not just a one-match wonder. He had to work extremely hard to climb out of the poverty of his birthplace, Dhamalcoat, a slum-like area in the capital city. He is making a name for himself and for his country on a global stage. It can indeed be termed as a fairytale that a boy from Madaripur, despite all the
