Life’s Rebounds and Success Stories
The Crossover

Rebounding and boxing out are two essential skills that every member of any basketball team must master in order to be successful. One of basketball’s most prevalent fallacies is that a player must be tall in order to be a competent rebounder. The key to being an effective rebounder, however, is tenacity and physical and mental toughness. A player need not be the size of Shaq or as talented as Lebron to be able to rebound; all they need to do is aggressively put their body on an opposing player and push them back away from the basket to ensure that they will gain possession of the rebound. In my experiences as both a player and a coach, many times the smallest player on my team topped the stat sheet in rebounds. The simple formula for being a great rebounder is: Desire+Determination+Fundamentals=Rebound, and the same formula holds true off the hardwood. No one personified this formula better than my own father, Tony Siscone. He was a NASCAR stock car driver from 1972-1994 and rea

A Racy Weekend Starts Well
Fear The Hat

The Indianapolis 500 is tomorrow. Let’s hope it’s half as exciting as this Carb Day race, which Peter Dempsey won…by .0026 seconds. And here’s the video:

Chicagoan Wins Indy Freedom 100 By .0026 Seconds!

Closest Finish in Indianapolis history? might just be! Margin of victory .0026 and 4-wide for Chicago resident Peter Dempsey. Going into the the last lap Peter was fourth, a few seconds later, he won! This is likely the greatest finish in the history of racing.  Four Cars side by side to the finish!

Some Things Change, Some Things Stay The Same – Qualifying For The Monaco GP
AmerF1can

It’s a Mercedes front row lock-out, but four drivers are waiting to pounce starting with Sebastian Vettel. So what changed? That is a simple one. The Weather. I am always taken aback when just as qualifying is supposed to begin for a grand prix the rain shows up as if on cue. And to dispel any question of who is in control (the race gods), the rain checks out right after Qualifying has been completed. Exit stage right. One thing never in question is what the rain does to a qualifying session. Answer: create complete chaos. At one point in Q2, I think just about everyone set the fastest lap. Such is the nature of a drying track and being in the right place at the right time. What stayed the same? The Mercedes boys have made it four in a row and Nico Rosberg completes the hat trick for pole position. Much to the dismay of both Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, Rosberg is taking a page from Red Bull, no scratch that, taking a sip from the RED BULL and really putting together an i

2013 Tour of Japan | Stage 5: Izu

Stage wins in the OceaniaTour and AsiaTour have already been tucked away in Nathan Earle’s pocket for 2013, but the Tasmanian can now add a Tour of Japan stage to his palmarès, which gets more impressive, and international in its scope, with every year. Images: Sonoko Tanaka Following yesterday’s Mt Fuji triumph by teammate Ben Dyball, Earle (Huon Salmon – Genesys Wealth Advisers) built on the Australian legacy that began in the first Tour of Japan (1996) with Baden Burke. Australian riders have since won 21 stages at this race; 50% more than the next most-successful nation, Italy, can claim. However, Italian riders also have a special relationship with the Tour of Japan, having won three out of all 15 editions held. Of course, we all know Team Nippo – De Rosa’s resident Italian Fortunato Baliani prevailed in 2012, with teammate Julián David Arredondo taking second overall; 22″ in arrears. With one stage remaining this year, and an even larger gap be

Today is that day
Über die Brücke

I knew it was going to happen at some point. Beautiful weather on a weekend day, and I would be sitting and looking out the window, thinking about the race that I was not racing. Today is that day. It will be the first Memorial Day weekend since 1995 or so that I will not be doing a race. When I stop and consider this, I’m again struck with how racing can take over your life. For many years now, the decision wasn’t about “what should we do for Memorial Day weekend?” but rather “what race am I doing?” It wasn’t always an entire weekend of racing, but there was always at least one race. Right now I’m looking at the clock and thinking it’s 90 minutes into the Tour de Frankenmuth, where my teammates are racing. I’m remembering the course and where they should be at this point, and imagining how they might be racing it. I’m coming to realize that what I like as much as the racing itself is the post-race feeling I get from
