A. Colleges like it if you played sports in high school because it shows that you are a team player and that you have school spirit. It's not necessarily better than other extracurriculars, but it does look good to colleges.

Malaysia! How can sport fans play a role in determining who the sports officials are?
Q. It appears the sports officials from Badminton and Karate are flexing their muscles against their players and coaches. The fans know, the players are motivated by their coaches and not any of their management officials. The players and lower ranking coaches only kow tow to them because of the strong power they yield in their position. Its time the Sports minister kicks out all these political related management officials and place professionals for the future of Malaysian sports to ever reach and maintain international standards. These officials are making a mockery out of sports and its sportsperson. Politics out - Professionals In or Mediocre standard In - International Standard out. Choose.

A. You were told falsly. extra cirriculars are important on a college resume, sports are only one type of an extra cirricular. Without extra cirriculars, unless you are the smartest kid in your class of X in the United states...your application is much weaker. Admission deans LOVE kids who are involved outside of school. Sports, volunteering, plays, boyscouts, school newspaper, clubs...only a few examples of extra cirriculars. You don't need to play sports as I said before, those are only one kind of extra cirriculars.

What is the difference between sky sports 1 and 2 for the world cup cricket?
Q. I want to watch the world cup cricket on sky sports. What is the difference between sky sports 1 and 2? I am asking as it is obviously more expensive to get both. Should I get both if I don't want to miss a match or is everything going to be broadcast on sky sports 1. Does sky sports 1 normally carry the more important live event and 2 is used for the secondary sport? Like if there is golf and cricket on at the same time. All sounds to me as if sky did this to make more money out of sport deprived souls stuck on Freeview or Freesat.

A. Most of the Cricket World Cup matches are on Sky Sports 1, however if there is live Premier League football or another big match then the cricket does get moved to Sky Sports 2. Also when there are two matches on the same day which overlap the lesser match can be followed using the red button service.

A. While I do not have experience with college archery and/or fencing teams, I do have experience with archery and fencing done by college students. If the college(s) you are looking at do(es) not offer archery and/or fencing, you should find out if there is an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms, Inc.) branch located at/affiliated with the college(s) you are interested in. The SCA, because its main focus is the study and re-creation/re-enactment of the Middle Ages, incorporates archery and fencing into its activities -- and most major colleges (and many community colleges) have an on-campus SCA presence. The good part is that you do not have to join the SCA to take part in the archery/fencing, unless you want to join. I have been involved… [cont.]

A. I would check out the website for the National Federation of High Schools to see what they list, as well as check out the 51 state high school associations (Iowa has two) to see what they sanction. As far as what's on TV, try searching for the Neilsen Ratings organization, as it will show you what we watch.

A. You should totally do track. I had to go through the same thing, because my doctor said so and I don't know how to thank her. All sports make you try out and they break you heart if you don't make it. Track is different. You don't have to try out and you make so many friends. You get into shape and you never feel left out. Everybody on your team goes through the same experience, whether its being tired from practices or joy from winning, it's all fun. The first week might be tough and you might one to quit, but it all gets easier. After the first two weeks of practices, you'll want to go track more than ever. And it's not all running, there's jumping and throwing to. I would recommend throwing because it's easier, funner, and you feel like… [cont.]
