Serena Williams Is Never Stopping

Serena Williams will be competing in the Australia Open 2014 that starts this week. She is not just going for another Grand Slam title, she is going to add another mark towards becoming the “greatest women tennis player of all time”. She is 32 years old and by this time in many of her past opponents careers, they decided it was time to retire. She has previously the Australian open back in 2010, and wants to claim victory to the field yet again. The only downfall is that Williams has not competed her since due to illness and injury. From the French Open back in 2012, Williams has won 16 of the 22 tournaments she played in.

In doing so, Winston was also awarded the Heisman trophy; the highest honor for collegiate football players. In terms of physical ability, Jameis Winston has been rated as the best quarterback prospect to come out of college since Andrew Luck, who is now a pro-bowl signal caller for the Indianapolis Colts.

Cuts for a Cause

Eat. Sleep. Play. Repeat. This is the sequence of events often used to describe the average day in the life of a student athlete. Then, on top of all of this, there is homework, and any other demands or challenges the day might bring along. These athletes all end up on the same intense schedule, and it is one that leads them to success. They all share a common goal, along with the motivation and drive to achieve it. No wonder there always seems to be a special sort of bond between the members of a team. They are linked together with passion. This type of bond is hard to understand from the outside looking in. These members become more than just teammates. They become a family.

Merica takes the Gold

In lieu of the recent winter Olympics, the United States has claimed another “Gold Medal.” On Feb. 14, the Hennessey Venom GT claimed the world record for world’s fastest production car, theoretically speaking. The world record isn’t official because Guinness World Records rules say that Hennessey would have to make at least 30 Venom GTs to consider it a production car, but Hennessey has only planned on making 29 of them. Guinness also requires that the car go one way and then be able to come back the same way at same speed, but NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, where the car was tested, didn’t allow another run.

2013 Major League Baseball Season Preview and Predictions

Almost two weeks ago, on Easter Sunday, the 2013 Major League Baseball season began as the Houston Astros defeated the Texas Rangers. After over 50 years in the National League, the Astros played their first game in the American League. The Astros moved from the NL Central division, which previously had six teams, and moved to the AL West, which previously had four teams. This move has evened up all divisions across the MLB, with each league containing three divisions of five teams. Because of this, almost every day will contain an interleague game (AL team vs. NL team), an occurrence that was limited to a few weeks in July in previous years. With all that being said, the 2013 season is sure to be an exciting and interesting one.
