Featured Article:
Sometimes referred to as 'Rafa,' Rafael Nadal is a native of Spain who has made a large impact in the world of tennis. Born June 3, 1986 in Manacor, Mallorca, Rafael Nadal is the son of Sebastian and Ana Maria Nadal. His sister, Maria Isabel, is five years younger than Rafael and is his only sibling. Standing 6'1" and weighing 178 lbs, Rafael Nadal became a professional tennis player in 2001 after having played since 4 years of age. Fans should not let this young age fool them as Rafael Nadal nabbed his first championship at only 8 years of age.
Under the guidance and teaching of Toni Nadal, his uncle, Rafael Nadal began learning to play tennis very early in life as is evident from his early championship. Toni, who remains Rafael's coach, is a very important part of this youngster's success. In 2003, Rafael Nadal earned the ATP Newcomer of the Year award. In 2005, he won 11 titles and also captured recognition as the 'Most Improved Player' for 2005 as named by the ATP.
In June 2006, Rafael Nadal won his second Roland Garros crown and also scored his 100th claycourt career victory. That same month, Rafael Nadal turned 20 and ended his teenage years with great success. It was during these years that Rafael Nadal won 16 career titles, which tied the record for the most titles won by a teenager.
Even though Rafael Nadal is right-handed, he plays left-handed and produces a backhand using both. As with most top athletes in their sport, Rafael Nadal is managed by IMG and is frequently found in Nike attire.
Fans who would like to request a signed photo or simply send Rafael Nadal their best wishes are urged to do so in care of his professional affiliation. If you are requesting an autograph, be sure to include a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) along with your request. Popular items to have signed include blank index cards and photographs. It is recommended that fans not send any item that they cannot afford to lose, such as prized possessions and/or limited edition collectibles. As with all mailed autograph requests, there is no guarantee of a reply. For this reason, many fans simply prefer to request a signed photo. Depending on the athlete's schedule, autographs may be authentic, secretarial, pre-printed or even impossible to provide. Patience is the key to requesting autographs by mail, especially when you are talking about an athlete as popular as Rafael Nadal. Letters and requests should be mailed to:

Gold Mind Play: When Over-thinking Becomes a Hazard by Tracy Tresidder
What makes golf appear so easy when it really is quite challenging?
There are few games where you actually hit a stationary ball. Beginners often assume that golf must be an easy game because a carefully contrived formula is used when teeing off, using irons, chipping or putting, as opposed to reacting to a ball that is coming in your direction. Unfortunately, in the time you have to stand over the ball your brain gets in the way. When you're engaged in a tennis game for example, as you run to hit that forehand top spin, you don't think about where to exactly place your hands and how you're going to exactly position your feet each time the ball is coming at you. It happens at such a rapid pace - you don't have time to think an awful lot about it during play. After learning how to swing the racquet to hit the ball effectively, the movements you carry out during the tennis game become instinctive, natural reactions. Golf is different in that you are given an opportunity to take time before each shot to narrow your focus and to think about what you're actually going to do. Although time to think may seem to make the game more elementary, it actually creates an opening for a series of diversions that contribute to the complexity of the game. As you are standing over the ball, the slightest distraction, whether it be a sound, or a thought in your head, has the potential to seriously affect the outcome of your shot. In turn, one bad shot can then affect how you perform for the remainder of the game, simply because it has the ability to alter your state of mind.
What are the thoughts in your head?
Thoughts of your grip position and over-thinking your stance are diversions that take you away from the task at hand. Although having a pre-shot routine during practice is instrumental in the execution of your golf swing, over-thinking the mechanical processes during the actual game is detrimental to the flow of the action. It is this uninterrupted flowing movement and a relaxed mental state that is essential to achieving consistent, positive results on the golf course. So the question is, how can you eliminate distractions such as nagging thoughts or other negative influences to improve your game? There are several approaches to taking charge of your own mind game, but the first and most important is learning to accept what you can and cannot control.
Tips
1. Avoid over-thinking your shots, clear the mind of all the technicalities and concentrate on achieving a relaxed mental state each time you address the ball.
2. Don't let the discouragement of one bad shot carry through to the rest of your game. Think only of your present shot, not what lies ahead, or what has already occurred.

Which tennis racket is better?
http://www.cbssportsstore.com/sm-prince-triple-threat-hornet-performance-racquet-pre-strung--pi-1760477.html
or
http://www.holabirdsports.com/m/Tennis/Junior-Tennis-Racquets/Prince/p1/090238.htm
I am an intermediate player at tennis who is looking to buy one of these rackets. Which racket would you perfer and why? Also if you have any other recommondation for any other racket (like the one you own), that would be great!
Thanks!
1st link - Prince Triple Threat Hornet
*what other triple threat do you recommend?
2nd link - Prince hybrid Ignite
*What does it mean "Junior"? At the store, it says adult.
The second one is a junior racquet. Junior racquets are shorter than standard, and typically very light, which makes them easier for kids to use. The Hybrid Ignite has a 26.25" length (standard is 27").
