Wednesday, 27 May 2009. Who's at fault for poor grassroots participation? A 2001 UK Census table showed men participated in, on average, 18 minutes of physical activity a day, women about five minutes less. The standard figure given by first-world government sports ministers around the globe is usually 30 minutes per day. But if taking part in sport or physical activity ends for many after the under-12 football finals, where is the next generation of champions going to come from? Years of playing basketb...

Monday, 6 June 2011. Frauds, fakes and tricksters - an entertaining post on The Roar. The Roar is one of those sports blogs that usually delivers more than it promises and has only recently begun to be inundated by advertising. One of my favourite recent posts has been by Geoff Lemon, in the second half of a piece on sporting fakes and frauds. But more serious sports reporters and financial journalists should have taken notice when the company's failure led to the Sydney Kings basketball team collapsing.

Tuesday, 22 September 2009. Not that you would know it where I'm living but back home in Melbourne, Australia, people are going understandably mental about the Geelong Cats. Making their third grand final in three years. After last year's painful loss, the Cats should bounce back to take this one against the Saints. My girlfriend's hoping that's not the case so we'll no doubt be at odds this weekend. Nothing much more to add right now, thanks for tuning in. Monday, 7 September 2009. On Luol Deng and the ...

stevepog: February 2011
http://stevepog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 February 2011. So many sports stories, so little time etc. It's funny that now I've moved further into sports marketing and sponsorship than in the last two years, I've had less time and inclination to write about it. Partly because some of the stories I could have written about here could have got me fired but mainly due to the limited time I can give over to blogging, with the move back to Australia, settling in, finding work, moving house and all the rest.

Thursday, 21 January 2010. Why American college sports teams have all the luck. When I stepped into the Cameron Indoor Stadium (an odd name I thought but then it states its purpose) last week, it was the peak of my four days in North Carolina. I was actually there to attend a conference on science and the web. Duke have 15 wins, 3 losses for the season after the 88-74 loss to NC State on Wednesday. Their 6'8" forward Kyle Singler's No 12 jersey can be seen on anyone from freshman to college professor...

Monday, 30 November 2009. Nice plug from blog awards site. I've been featured as Blog of the Month on Football Jerseys. In their Blog Awards section. The site averages 200,000 unique visitors per month and has featured more than 30,000 blogs from the world of football and sport in general. Thanks for the mention guys. Thursday, 19 November 2009. NBA UK gets their act together and Cash gets a serve. I made the cut twice for their highlight video. Though in a watching not playing capacity. Cash may be a lo...

Monday, 27 September 2010. Do sports fans at live games really need more stimulation? There are times in a serious sports watcher's life when they question whether three hours spent yelling at players and umpires on a rain-soaked pitch has really been worth it. Or for soccer supporters who sit through a string of nil-all or one-all draws, drained of the satisfaction gained from a pivotal victory, who might wish they had an option of something else to watch than the boring spectacle in front of them.

Tuesday, 6 October 2009. Still hope yet for basketball's future in the UK. I get cynical about UK basketball often but the weekend was one of those great opportunities to see there are some very enthusiastic players from junior level to streetball warriors who are keen on the game, not just the image. That was filmed on my phone but still shows the quality. Ok, most of those guys were from Europe but still, Londoners need all the inspiration they can get. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I'm passionate about ...
