Vertical Jump, The Pride And Bragging In Sports - The Higher Your Vertical Jump, The Better You Feel

There is always a particular pride and brag factor attached to every sport or practice. In track and field events, such as basketball, football, and volleyball vertical jumps are used by athletes as something to brag about among themselves. But what is a vertical jump anyway?

A vertical jump can be defined as the ability to raise one's center of gravity higher in the vertical plane solely with the use of one's own muscles. It is a measure of how high an individual or athlete can elevate off the ground from a standstill. Some people may go further and define vertical jumps as: The ability to perform jumps of a height many times that of the human body. It could also be explained as being the ability to travel long distances with a flitting, continuous motion as if flying. However you look at vertical jumps, the one thing for sure that is true is that many athletes are now using it as a point of measuring performance. The better you are in your vertical jump, the more pride you have I the team or in your group. In other words, the higher your vertical jump, the better you feel among your team mates.

Since vertical jumps have become so popular in the world of sports, there are so many athletes who would kill, just to bit the recode in vertical jump. As of now, a vertical jump of more than 40 inches is considered as quite unusual. That not withstanding there is continuous tracking and measuring of the various jumps in various tracks and filed events. As more and more people keep training and perfecting their vertical jump skills, chances are that we would in the near future see even more and more athletes performing vertical jumps of 40 inches or and more.

Do you think the Olympic Basketball team players take pride in representing their country?

Most Athletes spend their life time preparing for the Olimpics. And they take pride in their preparation and their participation. Give me your opinion if you think that the Basketball players should prepare longer for the olimpics....

Yes they should.... which is probably why the USA took bronze 4 years ago.

They probably do take pride in their country, or they wouldn't even join the team in the first place.

However, they also have their NBA careers to think about, which includes their salary and risking injury in practices and games, which they can't afford to do.

KH008 $99 Edgy, bold, and willing to make a statement.  These Keith Haring earrings represent exactly who he was as an artist.  The popular "dancing man" is solid brass and plated in 18k gold, with racy red enamel.  His top and bottom halves are connected with brass chains, for a look that you've never seen before.  This dancing man hangs about 2 1/4" and is about 1 1/4" in width. Born May 1958, Keith Haring was an openly gay artist and social activist whose work responded to the New York City street culture of the 1980s.  He was inspired by graffiti art, and his bold lines, vivid colors, and active figures carry strong messages of life and unity.  By expressing universal concepts of birth, death, love, sex and war, Haring was able to attract a wide audience and assure the staying power of his imagery, which has become universally recognized in the 20th century. In 1988, Keith Haring was diagnosed with AIDS, which resulted in his establishment of the Keith Haring Foundation in 1989. His main goal was to provide funding and imagery to AIDS organizations and children's programs, and to expand the audience for Haring’s work through exhibitions, publications and the licensing of his images. Haring enlisted his imagery during the last years of his life to speak about his own illness and generate activism and awareness about AIDS. At the very young age of 31, Keith Haring died of AIDS-related complications.   Since his death, Haring has been critically acclaimed for his artwork, and for his work in the community.  The work of Keith Haring can be seen today in the exhibitions and collections of major museums around the world. For more information about Keith Haring or the Keith Haring Foundation, please visit www.haring.com. A portion of the proceeds of all jewelry purchased from the Keith Haring Collection will be donated to the Keith Haring Foundation.
