Baseball isn't a sport focused on team power. I've deuced that it is a sport more reliant on individual skill coming together to make stuff happen. It's all about chemistry. People liking each other, and being confident in each others skills. All the players come from many places, ranging from New Zealand, across to the United States. They allows follow the same routine before they start their games, and it really works for chemistry building. Even when they lose, they still go out the next day and make it a new day. Although, they still really take it to heart. It's their job to go out like that, and play, so when they lose, sometimes they lose their pride, but it's all good. They keep a positive attitude, and rock the next game.

Red Bulls, Més que un club

Today, we visited the New York Red Bull's practice at Montclair University. What we observed them doing today, was dead ball situations. They were practicing corner kicks, and free kicks. They had some pretty nice goals, and most of their shots were on target.

After the practice, we got to interview Christina, and Kate who were community relations, and public relations people for the Red Bulls. They talked about the history of the club, and they talked about the back round of the players. After we talked to Christina, and Kate, we also spoke with defensive midfielder, Luke Sassano number 32. He spoke about his favorite player who is Wayne Rooney, who currently players for Manchester United in England. He said he liked Rooney, because even though he is a super star, he stays focus, and respectful to the game. Luke also talked about what he does when he faces problems with his teammates. Usually, they just keep it on the field, because it's all a competition. Once they get off the field, they forget all about it. Before and after practice, Luke also trains on his own. He usually goes running with his mates, and then after practice, they go weight lifting to keep fit.

All in all, the Red Bulls are family to each other. They're like brothers, they look out for each other, take younger ones in as their own, and even meet up with each other outside of practice very often. This weekend, they will be traveling to South Africa to see the world cup finals. Most of the team is rooting for Spain, and i think they will be delighted to see the outcome.

*********, Jets Beat Writer

            "Being a beat writer is a very exciting life," says *********, a beat writer the the New York Jets. she started out in college trying to go into a scientific career, but when she started to write for her college newspaper, she quickly realized she liked journalism better.
           The life of a beat writer is very hectic and active, but can also be just as much fun. The work load is ever always increasing. It has gotten harder because of the different trends, such as blogging, and twitter. This makes the job more overwhelming, but it is countered by the ability to be allowed to go to games for free, get the best seats, and write about it. She also gets to work from home a lot, and likes not having to be in an office for eight hours a day. *****  says being a sports writer is a crazy, because you never know where your going to be the next day. She also likes writing for the Jets, because she gets to know the team and the players better. One thing ***** doesn't like about this job however, is all the stress it seems to bring. She always has to meet deadlines, and sometimes she is beat to getting a story. Sometimes she even gets called into work while she is on vacation. All in all, she says the job is worth it.
