Becoming A Great Sprinter

Usain Bolt

To be a great sprinter one needs determination, grit and speed. It takes many years of training, sacrifice, hard work and overcoming challenges. However, it can be done. With time sprinters learn their bodies and what works best for them. Coaches and trainers have varying techniques, some which have proven quite successful. Here are a few inspirational quotes from successful sprinters Jesse Owens and Usain Bolt.

Jesse Owens

Well all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.

The battles that count aren’t the ones for gold medals. The struggles within yourself - the invisible, inevitable battles inside all of us - that’s where it’s at.

Friendships born on the field of athletic strife are the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, friends gather no dust.

Find the good. It’s all around you. Find it, showcase it, and you’ll start believing in it.

A lifetime of training for just ten seconds

One chance is all you need.

Usain Bolt

Don’t think about the start of the race. Think about the ending.

Learning the mind is as important as understanding the body.

If I keep my core and back strong, the scoliosis doesn’t really bother me.

 

I have learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I’m gonna do after the race, what I’m gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax before the race.

I know what I can do so I never doubt myself.

Kim Kardashian Slammed By Her Fans For Revealing Bikini Picture Showing Most Of Her Behind (Photo)

Kim Kardashian (Photo redacted by the Judiciary Report). I don't need to see her butt first thing in the morning or any other time of day. Really, none of my business.

Reality star Kim Kardashian posted what is known as a "selfie" photo to Instagram (a photo of one's self), revealing most of her behind and was roundly criticized for it by the public. Kardashian, 32, who just gave birth to baby North West, sired by trouble prone rapper, Kanye West, 36, was slammed by fans as an attention seeking insecure woman, who is engaging in conduct not befitting a mother.

Kardashian has no musical ability or talent for acting and seeks relevancy in the entertainment industry the only way she knows how, exploiting her body, which most do not deem respectable conduct. The message online has basically been put your clothes on and go take care of  your baby. And a beautiful little baby she is.

The Kardashians are doing way too much for publicity in bids at saving their show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" which has fallen in the ratings. Kris and Bruce Jenner separated for publicity, while she floats rumors he is a transvestite. Jenner was an Olympian. The man deserves more than someone trying to air his alleged secrets. Then there's the Jenners' underage daughters, Kendall and Kylie, going to a sex club in Los Angeles and leaving looking drunk. The club is now under investigation as the underage minors were not allowed to be in the club in conduct that violated the law.

Now Kardashian is baring most of her behind for attention and getting bashed for it. None of this is good publicity. It's not going to help the show's ratings return to what it once was at the height of their popularity. It's only breeding intense scrutiny and public disfavor.

This family is so in need of an image consultant. Kris Jenner is not a professional. She is a stage mom, who walked right into the minefield that is Hollywood (she even tanked Lamar Odom and Kris Humphries and they are athletes). The Kardashians would not be in this mess if Jenner hadn't done so many money hungry deals that destroyed their brand. A true pro in management knows what offers to take to bring in revenues and what to turn down for the sake of longevity and preserving a name. She took just about everything and they ended up severely overexposed.

Justin Bieber's Friend Lil Twist Corrupting Another Young Star With Drugs

Lil Twist bragging about getting everyone in the room high, including 15-year-old Kylie Jenner

20-year-old Young Money member, Lil Twist, has been dating 15-year-old reality star, Kylie Jenner, smkong weed with the underage minor (isn't she too young for you right now). Twist, known for being Justin Bieber's friend, weed carrier and car crasher, tweeted photos on Twitter of himself, smoking marijuana around Jenner and stating she is getting a "contact high." He also labeled the 15-year-old "sexy" *crickets.*

Kylie Jenner and Lil Twist

Jenner's dad, Olympian gold medalist, Bruce Jenner, needs to wake up and nip this relationship in the bud, as Twist is not a good influence on his underage daughter. Twist is getting Jenner's 15-year-old daughter high. How can that be a good thing. Girls end up making choices they regret when under the influence.

Lil Twist with large amount of marijuana

Once Kylie is 18, hopefully she will be able to make better decisions and handle herself under pressure. But no 15-year-old girl, black or white, should be dating a 20-year-old adult marijuana smoking, reckless driving rapper. She will learn things a minor should not know. Bruce, come get your daughter.

Apr 12, 2013 01:58 PM EDT - Teen reality starlets Kylie and Kendall Jenner danced up a storm at
Rihanna's LA concert on Monday evening (April 8), and while Kendall was spotted leaving the Staples Center with a group of gal pals, evidently Kylie hooked up to party the night away with rapper Lil Twist!

As MediaTakeOut exclusively reports, 15-year-old Kylie may have pulled a Justin Bieber... by lighting up a joint and smoking some weed with Twist! Is it time for pregnant Kim Kardashian to fall into over-protective older sister mode? Read on for the details...

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashian" socialites tweeted their excitement over seeing RiRi live throughout Monday evening... they were then spotted leaving the venue in separate vehicles. Kylie hopped into a ride driven by rapper Lil Twist.

The two friends were in for a wild night (or shall we say nights)... at least according to MediaTakeOut, that is. Lil Twist posted a photo of himself on Instagram a few days later (April 10) smoking a massive blunt in the studio, and apparently Kylie must have been somewhere in the background...

Twist's friend/YouTube enthusiast "Sam" posted these tweets to go along with the pic on April 11:

And here's the exclusive MedaTakeOut report posted on April 12:

Kim Kardashian's mama better STEP IN and start REGULATING the company that 15 year old Kylie Jenner is keeping. MediaTakeOut.com learned that 2 nights ago, Kylie and a 15 year old GF of hers were 'HANGING OUT' with rapper Lil Twist and one of his boys.

The foursome went to dinner together, and kicked it. At one point in the evening - Twist took a pic of Kylie's finger and sent it out - describing the UNDERAGE KARDASHIAN as "sexy."
liltwist: "wow that fingernail looks so sexy bu that fire. lol."

But that's not all. After dinner - the foursome went to the STUDIO with twist, where he IMMEDIATELY sparked up a blunt. And according to Twist, the blunt was SO STRONG - it got "everyone" in the room high. SMH...

Oscar Pistorius Set For His First Race Since Start Of Murder Trial But Is He Ready

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Olympian and Paralympian, Oscar Pistorius,  has been cleared to leave South Africa, in the middle of his murder trial, regarding the tragic shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Pistorius formally stated the shooting was an accident, while prosecutors maintain it was premeditated murder. The court stated, " I find no reason why the applicant should be forbidden from leaving the Republic of South Africa if he's invited to compete in athletic events in other countries."

Oscar Pistorius

Pistorius is set to compete in the World Athletic Championships this summer, but the question is, will he be ready, both physically and mentally. Pistorius lost key training time due to his crucial murder case and he is also in a fragile mental state. Running well takes physical and mental strength. A distracted and troubled mind can prove a hindrance. Additionally, how will audiences react, as the public is divided on the case.  

As Oscar Pistorius Holds Memorial For Shooting Victim Reeva Steenkamp Her Family Refutes Stories She Was Pregnant

Oscar Pistorius held private memorial for Reeva Steenkamp without her family and friends

Some press outlets, such as Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, remain in overdrive making up stories about the shooting death of model Reeva Steenkamp at the hands of boyfriend, sprinter, Oscar Pistorius. The latest story, by another news outlet stated Steenkamp was pregnant when she was shot to death.

Reeva Steenkamp

Her family, who have a right to be upset about this claim, slammed the story. The model's father, Barry Steenkamp stated, "The post mortem would have revealed if Reeva was pregnant and it did not reveal anything like this. Maybe it comes from the other side, to garner and build up some sort of support for Oscar."

Reeva Steenkamp's dad Barry Steenkamp

As this serious case is a matter of public interest, it is imperative that the truth comes out, without anything added or taken away from it. To do anything less would be to dishonor the deceased, whose promising life was cut short in a incident that is nothing short of tragic.

The Family Of Oscar Pistorius Shooting Victim Told Of 'Cricket Bat Attack'

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

New reports in the press regarding the Oscar Pistorius murder trial indicate the family of victim, Reeva Steenkamp were, "Told Reeva Steenkamp's family that the model could have been beaten to death with a cricket bat before being shot by Oscar Pistorius."

Reeva Steenkamp's dad Barry Steenkamp

It is also being stated, Steenkamp's family, who attended her viewing and funeral, confirmed the body had, "Sustained horrific head injuries." However, said claims have not been confirmed in court during the trial. This sad story just keeps getting worse. What a tragic waste of life and a horrible way to die.

Oscar Pistorius' Brother Has Also Been Charged With Killing A Woman

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Carl Pistorius, the brother of sprinter, Oscar Pistorius, is up on murder charges in South Africa just like his famous sibling, who is currently charged with "premeditated murder" in the death of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp. Carl's case is regarding a traffic accident that left a woman dead.

Carl Pistorius
 

It is being reported, tests revealed he was not drunk at the time of the accident. However, he is still liable in the woman's death. Charges were initially dropped, but have been reinstated this month. Carl Pistorius' attorney stated to the press, the charges will be challenged in court.

 

Oscar Pistorius is currently staying with his uncle in a posh suburb of Pretoria, as he has been banned from reentering his home during the case, as it is the scene of the crime where Steenkamp was killed. He has been bailed until June 2013, when his murder trial resumes.

Parents Of Shooting Victim In Oscar Pistorius Case Speak Out About The Sprinter

Oscar Pistorius

Barry Steenkamp and his wife, June Steenkamp, have spoken out about the shooting death of their daughter, model, Reeva Steenhkamp, at the hands of Olympic and Paralympic sprinter, Oscar Pistorius. The athlete has stated in court that the shooting was an accident, as he mistook Steenkamp for an intruder, but based on their statements, her parents are not convinced.

 

Reeva Steenkamp and Oscar Pistorius

Barry Steenkamp stated, "If it didn't happen the way he says it did he must suffer and he will suffer. It does not matter how much money he has and how good his legal team is, he will have to live with his conscience. But if he speaks the truth, I can perhaps some day forgive him."

Barry Steenkamp

June Steenkamp said of her daughter's death, "She loved like no-one else could love. She had so much of herself to give and now all of it is gone. Just like that, she is gone. In the blink of an eye and a single breath, the most beautiful person who ever lived is no longer here. All we have is this horrendous death to deal with, to get to grips with. All we want are answers, answers as to why this had to happen, why our beautiful daughter had to die like this."

Oscar Pistorius Granted $115,000 Bail In Murder Case

Olympian and Paralympian, Oscar Pistorius, has been granted conditional bail in the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. Conditions of his bail include not returning to his mansion, which is the crime scene, staying away from witnesses in the case and not consuming drugs or alcohol. He must also report to police twice a week.

Lead Cop In The Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial Is Up On Attempted Murder Charges

Shots Fired!

Oscar Pistorius

The lead investigator in the Oscar Pistorius murder trial, regarding the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, has been hit with attempted murder charges in Pretoria, South Africa. Hilton Botha, in his capacity as a police officer, opened fire on a bus of suspects, wounding several people. Charges against him in the case were announced today.

Some are stating he should not be involved in the Pistorius case due to his own legal troubles, but others state it has no effect on the athlete's conduct. Under the circumstances, for a fair trial to be obtained, especially in such a high profile matter, in front of the watching world, there needn't be any aspect thereof, perceived as tainted. It is best the investigator turns his file over to a colleague not facing the same legal issues.

Oscar Pistorius and Reeva Steenkamp

Pistorius is still seeking bail, but prosecutors object, as he is a millionaire with the resources to flee South Africa. Pistorius' defense team attempted to use his disability to help him in this regard, stating he would not get far, due to being an amputee. I beg to differ. Paralympians move faster than the majority of the public and are fitter than most as well. The week before the Steenkamp murder, I tweeted a video of Pistorius outrunning a race horse by a comfortable margin.

But in all seriousness, if Pistorius gets bail, there is a risk he may commit suicide, as his life is in tatters and for all the world to see. It wouldn't be the right choice, but when a person is at their lowest ebb, they sometimes do not think rationally. His story is a dramatic fall from grace.

Some people with disabilities develop alcohol and substance abuse issues in attempting to deal with the emotionally pain of the loss of limbs or mobility. It is a very traumatic experience. However, the key is to see one's self as whole and equal to everyone else. 

Prosecutors In The Oscar Pistorius Murder Trial Label The Star A Liar Over The Death Of His Girlfriend While His Defense Team Refutes Steroids Claim

Oscar Pistorius in court this week

Olympic and Paralympic sprinter and murder suspect, Oscar Pistorius, has withdrawn from all competition in the upcoming racing season, despite the fact he is seeking bail in his criminal trial, regarding the shooting death of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp. There may also be another reason. Police acknowledged the fact steroids were found in Pistorius' Pretoria, South Africa home, which is the crime scene.

Some will also interpret his announced withdrawal from all competition in the upcoming racing season, to the aforementioned steroids found in his property. However, Pistorius' legal defense team has refuted the police claim regarding the alleged steroids in his home, stating what was found by officers is a testosterone enzyme product that is classified as a herbal remedy. Pistorius' lawyers state the substance is legal. Medical tests are expected in this regard.

Reeva Steenkamp

Prosecutors have laid out a very serious case against the gold medalist and are adamant it was not an accident. They spoke in no uncertain terms about their strong suspicion Pistorius’ actions constitute "premeditated murder." They are of the belief, Pistorius is lying about mistaking Steenkamp for a burglar.

Evidence presented indicates Steenkamp was in her night clothes and an overnight bag was present in the property. Initially, it was reported Steenkamp surprised Pistorius and he opened fire. Now Pistorius’ defense team is stating the two were asleep in bed, he woke up and went onto the balcony at 3:00 without his prosthetic legs. Steenkamp went to the bathroom and Pistorius heard the noise, believing it was a burglar. They are stating Pistorius did not realize Steenkamp had gotten out of bed and went into the bathroom, as they allege it was dark due to the lights being off.

Prosecutors do not believe Pistorius' account of events, stating neighbors heard arguing and shortly after a woman's screams. Another key claim is a neighbor stating the lights were on in Pistorius' property, including the balcony in question. The neighbor stated he was on his own balcony and saw the lights on at Pistorius' place.

Prosecutors believe Pistorius attacked Steenkamp in the bedroom after the two had an argument (allegedly over his suspicion of her cheating on him) and she fled into the bathroom, locking herself in the toilet. Pistorius then opened fire, shooting her three times through the locked door, as bullet wounds were found in Steenkamp's head, arm and hip. The state alleges Steenkamp locked the door for a reason, as she was in fear of her life, due to Pistorius' attack.

Some in the press alleged Pistorius called a friend rather than an ambulance, implying he wasted crucial time when emergency medical services could have been summoned, potentially saving Steenkamp's life. However, it is estimated he called emergency services 20 minutes after the shooting.

Many news sources have cited police leaks in the case, which authorities have denied. Thus far, neither prosecutors or the police have publicly confirmed claims in the mainstream press of Steenkamp's skull being crushed with a cricket bat. It was stated today that other than the gunshot wounds found in Steenkamp's body, there was no other injury to her body.

This case marks a tragic turn of events regarding two promising lives - both Steenkamp and Pistorius - who had so much going for them. It is truly sad, as their lives have been destroyed. There is much to be learned from this case. Those who are truly paying attention will grasp those lessons and not walk down the same path.

Prosecutors In The Oscar Pistorius Murder Case Recreate The Shooting Death Of The Athlete's Girlfriend (Video)

Famous sprinter and double amputee, Oscar Pistorius, made another appearance in court today, charged with the death of his girlfriend, model Reeva Steenkamp. prosecutors painted a grim picture of how they believe Steenkamp died, during a fight with Pistorius.

The description of the killing reveal prosecutor's theories that Steenkamp and Pistorius had an argument, which resulted in the athlete shooting her to death. 700 miles away from the courthouse, Steenkamp was laid to rest in a funeral attended by her family and friends.

Oscar Pistorius Should Be Placed On Suicide Watch

Oscar Pistorius in court

After being remanded into custody, in Pretoria, South Africa, on "premeditated charges" in the murder of his girlfriend, model, Reeva Steenkamp, sprinter Oscar Pistorius is facing a significant legal battle for his freedom. It has been stated, Pistorius' prosethtic legs will be confiscated in jail, as they can be classified as a weapons.

  

 

Reeva Steenkamp

With the loss of his girlfriend, name, career, sponsorship deals and freedom, Pistorius should be placed on suicide watch whilst in jail or if bail is granted in the case. The circumstances in his life dictate it. His emotional, tearful breakdown in court is also a sign of someone on the brink.

The Oscar Pistorius Murder Case Explodes With Claims Of An Affair, Steroids, Alcoholism And His Girlfriend's Skull Being Crushed By Cricket Bat

The Oscar Pistorius criminal case, regarding the shooting death of the double amputee Olympian and Paralympian's girlfriend, model and law graduate, Reeva Steenkamp, has taken some very serious and sad turns, as leaks in the press reveal explosive claims. Last week, on February 16, 2013, in the article "Oscar Pistorius Cries In Court As Charges For Killing His Girlfriend Changed To Premeditated Murder (Video)" the Judiciary Report stated, "The police have labeled it 'premeditated murder' due to something they have in their evidence files leading them to believe it is so."

Oscar Pistorius (center)

It appears the smoking gun in their evidence files has arrived, as the following day it was stated in the press, a cricket bat with blood on it was found at the crime scene, the track star's mansion in Pretoria, South Africa and the victim, Steenkamp, was found with a crushed skull and four gunshot wounds (to the head, hip, hand and chest). It is going to be very difficult to explain a crushed skull in a court of law.

Pistorius being perp walked

In a previous interview, prior to the shooting, Pistorius stated he keeps a cricket bat behind his bedroom door, an AK-47 machine gun by the window and a pistol by his bed, in crime plagued South Africa, where the rich have experienced a higher than usual amount of home invasion robberies.

What also complicates this tragic case is an allegation in the press today that late night texts and tweets between Skeenkamp and  ex-boyfriend, South Africa rugby player, Francios Hougaard, enraged Pistorius. Some are attempting to label her death a crime of passion on Valentine's Day. Steenkamp's iPad is being held as evidence regarding the claim.

To any man, especially a disabled man, often discriminated against by society, due to closed minded people, who would make a person with said medical condition feel like less of a man, being cheated on is devastating. However, one must always control one's response to such situations, keeping things in perspective and knowing you are just as good as anyone else.   

 

Francios Hougaard

The trouble does not end there for Pistorius, as it is also being reported the sprinter's home contained steroids and police ordered be tested for its use. If this is in fact the case and these allegations of cheating prove true, Pistorius could be stripped of the medals he has won in competition. 

Another report exists that excessive amounts of alcohol were found in Pistorius' home - a property police repeatedly were called to during "domestic violence" incidents. Three people have come forward in two separate allegations, stating Pistorius was drunk and threatened them. In a case involving two women at a Kings of Leon concert, they stated he was drunk, verbally abusive, called them lesbians and pushed them.

Crime scene inside Pistorius' Pretoria mansion in South Africa

In another incident, a friend of Pistorius' ex-girlfriend stated the athlete threatened to break his legs, believing something was going on between the two of them. He stated he was called to a meeting with police "colonels" where Pistorius showed up with a black eye, from getting into a fight with a friend the night before.  

Pistorius crying in court

If all of the aforementioned points are entered into court record, Pistorius will be in serious legal trouble and could lose his freedom. The picture it paints is one of an angry athlete, using steroids, getting drunk, having violent confrontations with female members of the public and harboring suspicions of girlfriends cheating on him. The irony is, prior to Steenkamp's death, Pistorius was repeatedly referred to in the press as a womanizer.
