2008 Summer Olympics Team USA Basketball Quick Hitter …
http://gamblerstelevision.com Hello Summer Olympic fans from our “Rockstar” studio this is Dana Ward here with a Team USA Basketball Quick Hitter. Team USA Basketball assembled for a minicamp workout this past weekend at the campus of UNLV in Las Vegas. The goal for this year’s team is the Gold Medal and anything short of it will be a major disappointment. Many of the players and coaches from Team USA gave a 3-year commitment to their national team so one can understand the importance of this trip to Beijing for Olympic competition. The 12-member squad has already been announced and is headed by Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and Dwayne Wade. The team went through 1 day of practice and orientation to prepare for their full training camp that begins on July 21st. Team USA opens play in Group B against the host country China on August 10th in the preliminary stages of the Men’s Basketball competition. China’s Yao Ming returned to training for the China National Team and reported that the stress fracture on his left foot suffered during the NBA season was 80% healed. Doctor’s have told the Houston Rocket center that his injury usually takes a full year to heal and there’s a good chance it wont be until February of 2009 when he is 100%. But do to the pressures of playing for his host country Yao will give it a go. Team USA’s remaining preliminary group games in Olympic Competition are against defending Gold Medallist Spain, Angola and 2 more teams to be determined in an Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Athens Greece commencing on July 14th. Oddmakers have set Team USA the overwhelming favorite at minus three fifty to win the Gold Medal at the Beijing Summer Olympics. Spain the defending Olympic champion is the second favorite at 3 ½ to 1. That will do it for today’s Summer Olympics Coverage.

Cat Osterman on Pitching: Softball Training Tips
Cat Osterman, NCAA all time leader for strikeouts per 7 innings in Women’s softball, and 2004 Summer Olympics athlete, gives a how to on finger placement when pitching the ball. “”Its not necessarily where, the biggest thing is whatever pressure fingers you are using, I use my index finger a lot of pitchers like to use their middle finger. But whatever finger you are using, you want to put it on the seam somewhere. I get more kids that this is my rise-ball, or in the middle of the horse-shoe, and I’m like what seam are you driving on? Because driving on the seam, is going to get your seams spinning the way you want them to. Obviously, you want your seams spinning because the seams catch air, and then the ball moves.”"
