El vídeo que veras a continuación tiene poco en la red y ya supera el millón de visitas. Es que la estatura de este jugador de basquetbol de Brethren Christian High School en California es impresionante. Mide 2.26 metros de altura y solo tiene 17 años, es de Senegal y ya el libro de Guinness esta buscando en su base de datos para ver si lo nombraran el El basquetbolista mas alto del mundo a nivel de High School, y probablemente de todo el mundo si sigue creciendo y jugando de manera regular.

The football and basketball both look like a lot of fun to play with. The puck would definitely create some bouncy, unexpected play.

I've written a number of times before about youth soccer referees not wanting to use their cards. Initially it seemed to be due to the age of players that I coached. But now that my older girls team is in high school, I haven't seen many more cards, even though I've seen plenty of fouls to warrant them from opponents AND my own players.

Why The Clock Counts Up And Not Down

Soccer is unique in contrast to other sports. The clock does count down having a set time for how long a period lasts. That means to the extent of maybe 20 minutes for hockey to count down until the next period or 15 minutes for football. With soccer, however, the clock tends to go up instead of down as anything could happen in a soccer game.

Bastian, being the cuter of the two, obviously has an unfair upper hand (see also: Looks Influences Winning, A Kickette Case Study) and the result is testament to that.
