Middletown, PA (PRWEB) March 19, 2008

The Appalachian State football team began last football season with an upset for the ages over Michigan and finished it by winning a remarkable third consecutive NCAA Division/ FCS National Title. No other team in FCS/I-AA history has ever accomplished the three-peat feat. This is a program that expects the best and gets results. Aware of the benefits aquatic therapy will bring their athletic program, Appalachian State’s administration and athletic training staff chose HydroWorx technology for their school’s hydrotherapy and fitness needs.

Three HydroWorx therapy pools will be housed in the Mountaineers’ new Kidd Brewer Stadium Athletic Complex. With the 1000 Series exercise pool, ground-based gait training and sport-specific activities will easily be duplicated by ASU athletes on the variable speed underwater treadmill. The therapy pool’s high-powered water jets are strategically placed for resistance training and deep tissue massage. Several athletes will be able to receive aquatic therapy at one time with multiple workstations and a variable water depth feature.

The indoor therapy pool’s high-tech heating unit provides fully-automated water temperatures. Next to the 1000 Series exercise pool will be the HydroWorx ThermalPlunge hot tub and PolarPlunge cold tub pools, enabling warm and cold water therapy as well as contrast therapy. This state-of-the-art facility will stand behind the home side of Kidd Brewer Stadium, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, North Carolina.

The complex will open at the inception of the 2009 football season. All ASU student-athletes will have access to the benefits of the new hydrotherapy and athletic training rooms; the strength and conditioning room with also be open to all of the school’s athletic teams. In addition to the underwater treadmill pool, hot therapy pool, cold therapy pool, and athletic training room, the three-peat national champion football squad will take advantage of a new equipment room, locker rooms, and team meeting rooms. Fans will benefit from the stadium’s new press box, luxury suites, and VIP club seating. Appalachian State student-athletes will also enjoy new athletic offices and a study hall and tutorial space.

The inclusion of HydroWorx hydrotherapy technology in the Kidd Brewer Stadium Athletic Complex demonstrates the university’s incredible drive to stay atop the competition. Appalachian State’s commitment to excellence is also proven by the fact that they will open the 2008 season by challenging the defending FBS national champions, Louisiana State University, on August 30th. Both schools are HydroWorx aquatic therapy customers.

About HydroWorx: HydroWorx specializes in designing, manufacturing, and marketing the world’s finest aquatic therapy and conditioning equipment for the home, sports, healthcare, eldercare, and fitness markets. The company leads the industry in scientific research and data supporting the therapeutic and rehabilitative properties of hydrotherapy.

Middletown, PA (PRWEB) April 4, 2008

The U.S. Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen and the U.S. Navy SEALs, whom many consider the toughest and most elite combined combat force in the world, have commissioned HydroWorx aquatic therapy technology to help keep America’s Special Operations Forces healthy, fit and “at the razor-sharp tip of the spear”, where there is no room for illness or error. SEAL Teams, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Teams, and Special Boat Teams comprise the elite combat units of Naval Special Warfare, a service component of the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM). These teams are organized, trained, and equipped to conduct a variety of clandestine missions which include unconventional and riverine warfare, direct action, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, counter terrorism, leadership interdiction, maritime interception, and search and rescue missions. Their highly-trained specialists are deployed worldwide in support of National Command Authority objectives–and now they’ve acquired a new addition to their aquatic training arsenal– a HydroWorx swim spa pool.

The Naval Special Warfare Personnel and Operators at the Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek near Norfolk, Va. have purchased the world’s first mobile poolroom-on-wheels. This high-tech unit contains a HydroWorx 500 Series water therapy and exercise pool, which arms the Navy with the ability to rehabilitate, test, and exercise all east coast SEALs and SWCCs.

Ground-based gait training and combat-rehabilitation activities can be easily duplicated on HydroWorx’s variable speed underwater treadmill. Underwater cameras and a flat screen viewing monitor greatly enhance NSW instructors’ diagnostic capabilities when evaluating a soldier’s underwater gait pattern. HydroWorx states that “strategically-placed, high-powered, 200-speed water jets can be used for demanding resistance-based hydrotherapy rehabilitation and training”–something the SEALs and SWCCs are well-suited to, since they are expected to push their bodies past the ultimate human limits of endurance and pain.

SEAL instructors relentlessly drill the soldiers to ensure that the troops will never quit while engaged. SWCCs train similarly; moreover, they pilot specialized, low-profile watercrafts at breakneck speeds down narrow, winding rivers or open ocean, transporting SEALs to and from hostile situations and operating nearly every weapon with a trigger that the military has to offer. Their bodies are pummeled unremittingly by choppy waters and seas, withstanding bone-jarring wave shocks of 10- 15 g’s with peaks of 20 g’s. Fortunately, such demanding discipline and rigor can be offset by aquatic physical therapy and deep-tissue massage; SEALs and SWCCs can now enlist the therapeutic qualities of the HydroWorx pool. Despite the fact that an NSW soldier’s closest ally is the water, soldiers can utilize the pool’s raised rear platform for drills when additional bodyweight loading is desired. HydroWorx specifies that “a state-of-the-art heating and cooling unit allows for fully-automated water temperatures”; this is a luxury for individuals accustomed to training and combat in turbulent, frigid waters and the harshest, most demanding conditions imaginable.

The inclusion of HydroWorx technology at the Little Creek Amphibious Naval Base proves the government’s continued focus on keeping the Navy’s two Special Operating Forces trained to perfection and near-mythical in worldwide fighting status.

Middletown, PA (PRWEB) May 14, 2008

For the first time in the history of European Football’s Champions League final, two English teams will be squaring off against one another. The Chelsea and Manchester United Football Clubs will clash for the European Cup on May 21st in Moscow, Russia. The European Champion Clubs’ Cup is widely considered to be the most prestigious club trophy in the sport.

This upcoming football match has the world abuzz with anticipation; the event is especially exciting for an aquatic therapy equipment company from Middletown, PA. HydroWorx International, Inc. manufactures underwater treadmill s for aquatic rehabilitation and exercise–and both Chelsea and Manchester United are prominent HydroWorx customers.

A large part of Chelsea’s success has been due to the levels of health and fitness of the club’s players; they get a rehabilitation and conditioning boost from HydroWorx’s flagship product–the 2000 Series pool. It boasts a host of high-performance features which represent the cooperative efforts of visionaries, engineers, and clinicians. The moveable floor, underwater treadmill, resistance jet technology, computer and camera systems, and automated water temperature capability satisfy the varied demands of traditional physical rehabilitation, as well as those of top, world-class athletes who recognize the benefits of advanced hydrotherapy.

Chelsea FC head physician Bryan English states, “Since Chelsea FC moved into their new training ground facility we have had the luxury of a Hydroworx 2000 that has without doubt assisted in getting injured players back on the field of play sooner than we would have had we not purchased this equipment. The unquestionable benefits of aquatic therapy in rehabilitation are crucial in a sport where a quick and safe recovery can mean the difference between success and failure. Adding underwater treadmill exercises, sometimes on day one after an injury, moves the player into more advanced stages of rehabilitation with ease.

Manchester United has been fortunate this year in the injury department as well. Though key players have been banged-up, the physiotherapist team has rehabbed and returned them to play. The club utilizes a HydroWorx 500i Series pool for their aquatic physical therapy. Ground-based gait training and sport-specific activities are easily duplicated on the variable speed underwater treadmill. Strategically-placed, high-powered water jets can be used for resistance training and deep-tissue massage. Athletes can utilize the indoor pool’s raised rear platform for exercises where additional body-weight loading is desired. A state-of-the-art heating unit allows for fully-automated water temperatures.

Interestingly, this proud football club owns the first of HydroWorx’s pools with the revolutionary InstaFit option. These new, versatile pools offer a convenient, plug-in answer for sports and healthcare professionals who need immediate access to the benefits of aquatic PT. The units leave HydroWorx headquarters skirted, prepackaged, and ready to perform. The 500i is up and running after it is set in place and connected to an electrical source at its rehab and exercise destination.

John Davin, a physiotherapist with Manchester United explains, “The HydroWorx pool provided the perfect platform for our players to prepare and recover in quick succession during such an intensive season. Without this valuable facility we may not have had such a large number of our 1st team squad available for selection. This has without question contributed to Manchester United challenging to retain the Premiership title and reaching the Champions League final”

Doylestown, PA (PRWEB) August 15, 2008

MyPointPool, Inc. has signed an agreement with Pro Club World (PCW), a sports marketing and consulting firm based in Ladera Ranch, Calif., which will provide former NFL players to participate in the online football pools they will run this year.

Founded in 1999 by ex-New York Giant Kenyon Rasheed, PCW is a unique sports marketing and consulting firm that supplies customized marketing initiatives that utilize networks of current and retired professional athletes. The available NFL players include former greats such as Jim Brown, Tony Dorsett, Harry Carson, Tim Brown, Rod Woodson, Andre Reed, Thurman Thomas and Richard Dent, as well as dozens of past Pro-Bowl players.

The agreement provides one former NFL player to every radio station working with MyPointPool, Inc. The player, chosen by the radio station from a list provided by PCW, becomes a participant in that radio station’s Point Pool. The player will also become available for up to four regular season on-air interviews.

The Point Pool is a patent-pending, “office” type football pool that focuses each participant’s attention on picking the winners of just two games per week, keeping time required to play at a manageable level. The game also challenges point management strategy, as players must decide how much to risk on each of their two picks. Requiring long-term planning, the game runs the entire NFL season, including the playoffs.

The agreement ensures that the former NFL stars, along with promoting MyPointPool.com (MPP), will actually participate in pools sponsored by MyPointPool, Inc. The players will create content for publication on MPP’s blog network, as well as weekly game picks for a “Beat The Experts” segment. The former NFL players will also participate in video conferences and play directly against the fans and other players in the game itself.

“We’re confident this agreement will provide MyPointPool.com fans with an additional level of fun and challenge, through direct competition and interaction with veteran NFL players they’ve seen perform at top levels of the game, on TV and in the stadium,” says Scott Dow, president of MyPointPool Inc. “The ability to go up against some ex-NFL greats in a game of strategy, knowledge and luck will make the pool even more interesting and exciting than it already is.”

This new enhancement makes MyPointPool.com an attractive option for non-profit corporations and other organizations looking for new and different fundraising promotions. MPP offers an exciting way to extend the football season for true fans, with several pool options. Half-season NFL pools start in early November, college bowl pools start in mid-December, and NFL playoff pools begin after the New Year. There are also March Madness basketball pools, baseball pools in April, and more for fans whose sports interests extend beyond the gridiron.

“These pools are all well-suited for fundraising audiences, while providing a low-cost, no-work fundraising tool for non-profit businesses and other organizations,” says Dow. “Contributors get to compete in a fun new game that lasts for weeks or months, plus a chance at some great prizes. MyPointPool collects and disburses the funds, while keeping just fifteen percent of the gross proceeds. It’s a lot of value for the participant/donors, and the organization receives a check for 85 percent of the gross receipts within a couple weeks of the pool closing to new signups.”

High resolution, print-ready color photos of the game screens and of company president Scott Dow are posted for download on the company’s online press room at mypointpool.com.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 19, 2009

Washington DC — It has been a phenomenal first season for Family Fantasy Sports. The first and only fantasy football site created for family play recently awarded over $ 40,000 in contributions to the 529 college savings plans of winning players and families.

Using their fantasy football skills in free leagues at FamilyFantasySports.com, kids aged 15, 9, and 9 won $ 25,000, $ 10,000, and $ 5,000, respectively, in contributions to their qualified 529 college savings plans.

While athletic scholarships have long been a popular method of funding the rising cost of higher education, Family Fantasy Sports has now created a way for fantasy sports to help American families meet their higher education costs.

Jonah, the 15-year-old Grand Prize recipient from Chicago, was encouraged to play in a public fantasy football league by some friends from high school. Jonah has been playing fantasy sports for years and plays fantasy basketball in addition to football.

“I love sports and hanging out with my friends. The game was a great way for us to do something fun together, and getting money for college was pretty cool too!,” he said.

An active basketball and soccer player himself, Jonah’s favorite athlete is NBA hoopster Monta Ellis, and his game console of choice is the Xbox 360. His team, Irish11-1, played strong throughout the season, and was active on the waiver wires, picking up Matt Cassel and DeAngelo Williams en route to a first place finish during the regular season.

The First Prize winner, 9-year-old Jacob, lives in Virginia, but is a die-hard San Diego Chargers fan. His mom gave his older brother the project of finding a fantasy football game that the entire family could enjoy together. After a Google search, he came back with Family Fantasy Sports. This led to the birth of their ‘first annual family league’ in which everyone from grandparents to the youngest cousins got involved.

According to Jacob, “My biggest rivals were my aunt and my cousin.” Jacob was the final seed to make the playoffs, but his team, Super-Bolts, got hot during the playoffs, winning his league’s championship over his aunt’s team and scoring well enough to capture the $ 10,000 college savings prize.

The Second Prize of $ 5,000 was awarded to 9-year-old Lily from Connecticut, who co-managed her team with her dad and little brother in a private league full of local Dads and their kids.

Lily’s father, Michael, loved the idea of sharing fantasy sports with his kids. Michael explained, “I’ve been playing fantasy sports for 20 years, but getting my kids involved has been a lot of fun and brought some added excitement to the house on Sundays.”

Lily is a huge New York Giants fan, as her team name “Big Blue Team” suggests. She enjoys swimming and playing tennis and also loves tap and jazz dance. Lily won the second prize by scoring the most points over the entire season among all of the non-playoff teams.

According to FamilyFantasySports.com’s President David Tasner, “Our goal is to provide interactive opportunities that help families and friends have fun together and build stronger relationships. Our inaugural season has been a great success and our winners highlight the demand for free, fun family friendly entertainment.”

The site’s focus on fun, useful content and easy to use fantasy sports games has broadened the appeal of fantasy sports. Family Fantasy Sports’ first season showed higher rates of participation among women and kids than traditional fantasy sports sites.

“We are already at work on new features for our site and for football 2009. We’re also adding more tools and prizes to assist American families in managing the escalating costs of higher education,” said David J. Miller, FamilyFantasySports.com’s CEO.

About FamilyFantasySports.com

Created by two Dads, FamilyFantasySports.com is the only fantasy sports site designed for family play. Our family friendly, free leagues help families spend more time together, build stronger relationships and have more fun. Prizes are family oriented and support education, health and fitness, and family friendly entertainment. Family Fantasy Sports awarded over $ 40,000 to families for their 529 college savings accounts during its inaugural season; the 2008 Fantasy Football Season.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 21, 2009

Baseball. The game has linked generations of fans for more than a hundred years, encompassing thousands of games, dozens of teams, and a score of truly memorable pennant races. Many of the teams that have stood the test of time are those that were involved in the greatest regular season collapses and the most remarkable comebacks.

But which collapse was the worst of all time? For that matter, which comeback was the most improbable?

To quantify and rank the top collapses and comebacks, coolstandings.com has modeled every season going back to 1903, the year that concluded with the first World Series. Using game scores maintained by retrosheet.org, and factoring in such variables as team performance and strength of schedule, coolstandings has simulated the remainder of each season 10,000 times for every day of every season to determine each team’s daily playoff chances, now posted on the site.

“It’s fascinating to explore all the past seasons and relive pennant races through the standings and teams’ playoff chances,” comments CTO and co-founder Sean Walsh.

To determine the greatest comebacks of all time, coolstandings has analyzed all teams that have made the postseason, and ranked them by their lowest playoff chances during the season.

Using this method, two comebacks are tied for the number two spot. The 1964 St. Louis Cardinals found themselves in 8th place in late July, 10 games out of first, with only a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs. Led by new acquisition Lou Brock, the Cardinals worked their way back and took advantage of the dramatic Phillies “Phold” in September to claim the pennant on the last day of the regular season.

The 2005 Houston Astros also found themselves with only a 0.2% chance of making the playoffs, getting off to a terrible 15-30 start. But they slowly climbed back into the race and claimed the National League wild card, becoming only the second team to make the postseason after being 15 games under .500.

The first team to accomplish that feat tops the list of most improbable comebacks, rallying from less than a 0.1% chance of making the postseason after finding itself in last place, 15 games out of first. From that point the team went 68-19 to win the pennant by a whopping 10.5 games.

Analyzing the teams that failed to make the playoffs, coolstandings has ranked the worst collapses of all time by sorting peak playoff chances held by a team during the season.

Two summers ago, the New York Mets squandered a 7 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies with only 17 games to play, and failed to earn even the wild card as the Rockies won 14 of their final 15 games. Mets fans lamented that the end of the 2007 regular season was the worst collapse of all time. But in fact, it was only the third worst collapse of all time, as the Mets blew a 99.5% chance of making the playoffs.

The Brooklyn Dodgers held a 13 game lead over the second place New York Giants in August of 1951, giving the Dodgers a 99.7% chance of making the postseason. But the Dodgers went cold as the Giants mounted a stirring comeback, and the teams ended the regular season tied to force a three game playoff. Bobby Thomson’s ninth-inning homer, the “Shot Heard ‘Round the World”, clinched the pennant for the Giants in the third and deciding game.

Only one team pulled off a worse collapse than the 1951 Dodgers, failing to make the postseason after reaching a stunning 99.9% chance of making the playoffs. Was it the 1978 Red Sox? The 1969 Cubs? Or another fateful team that disappointed the baseball gods?

Check out the complete list of historical comebacks and collapses at coolstandings.com to relive some of baseball’s greatest memories, where you can also continue to track your favorite team’s 2009 playoff chances.

About coolstandings.com

Coolstandings.com projects the playoff picture for baseball, football, and basketball, calculating the chance of each team making the playoffs – updated daily – by simulating the remainder of the season millions of times.
