Coach Bill Renner Launches A Series Of Training Books For Kicking And Punting Specialists

Lorton, VA (PRWEB) February 18, 2010

Bill Renner, one of the nation?s leading kicking coaches, has launched a series of training books to help high school and college kicking specialists reach their ultimate potential.

?Nothing is more important to a player?s development than a well-designed training program,? says Renner. ?A properly designed training program can take an average player and make him good, a good player and make him great and a great player and make him elite.?

Renner, who has a Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology from Virginia Tec, is nationally recognizes as an expert in coaching punters and kickers. His Master?s thesis ?Selected Physical Performance Factors and Football Punting Ability? focused on the factors of what makes a football go high and far.

This thesis laid the groundwork for his ground-breaking and critically acclaimed book ?Kicking the Football? which details a curriculum for players and coaches on how to teach punting and kicking.

?Over the past 25+ years of coaching and training high school, college and pro athletes, lack of training repetitions is the number one reason I have observed as to why an athlete did not achieve their full potential,? says Renner.

Renner says often times the athlete sincerely believes they are doing enough repetitions until they are educated as to how many repetitions the body needs to be able to master a skill well enough to repeat it at the level they aspire to.

Research shows that it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate or deep practice to reach a level of mastery that will enable you to become a top level performer in your field, says Renner. ?So, if you practiced 6 days a week for 2 hours a day for 52 weeks that would get you only 624 hours in one year!?

Renner says this assumes you are doing the right drills with the right techniques to produce the desired skill. ?Skill is the insulation that wraps the neural circuits and grows according to certain signals, he says. ?If the drills and techniques are not right then you will not get the desired skill and you would have to subtract practice hours.?

Renner says this illustrates the importance of having the right training program, and why he has created his series of training books.

?These training programs are unique because they have been honed from coaching and training athletes who were active team members,? he says. ?This means the techniques they used were necessary for them to be able to perform well so that their team could win?.and their team?s won. In fact, numerous players earned local and national post-season honors as a result of their performance and the team?s winning.?

?These programs are not speculative, they produce results? Renner says.

Online Sports Memorabilia Giant Celebrates a New Season with Cracking Signed Football Memorabilia


(PRWeb UK) August 31, 2010

Autographs Store , which has developed a pretty big name for itself in the past couple of years as one of the UK?s prime suppliers of quality signed memorabilia, is usually first in line for new signed kit. Thanks to a network of excellent contacts in the industry, plus the cachet its obviously stellar reputation gives (Autographs Store?s authentication policy is so rigid it?s become one of the top scoring memorabilia outfits in the country), the Kent based sports memorabilia company is often top of the list when new signings come out. This start of season bonanza, then, is no exception. The new Manchester United signed shirt features signatures from the full squad, old favourites and new heroes alike. The new signed Liverpool shirt similarly offers fans the chance to get their hands on top quality assured signatures from recognised Kop legends, as well as being the first to own the signatures of the team?s new signings.

All Autographs Store football memorabilia is fully guaranteed and supplied with a certificate of authenticity representing the highest possible standards in UK trading law. Every item is available either framed or unframed (the guys at Autographs Store recommend the frames, which have been custom designed to showcase their sports memorabilia beautifully and with superb protection) and postage across the whole of mainland UK is absolutely free.

That?s a pretty big bargain, all told, whether fans are choosing the Manchester United signed shirt or the Liverpool signed shirt. Either way, this level of authenticity guarantee combined with that kind of service is something to be snapped up while stocks last. Talking of stock levels, anyone looking to get their hooks on that special first batch of Man U and Liverpool football memorabilia wants to be moving quickly. The season has started well for all the top clubs, Manchester United and Liverpool being no exception ? so fans looking to get those all-important ?we were there first? purchases need to get their skates on.

Sports memorabilia purchased from Autographs Store is so popular because the company has never compromised on their ?genuine article? guarantee ? which, of course, has given fans and collectors alike the confidence to buy a Manchester United signed shirt or Liverpool signed shirt without worrying that the signatures contained therein are less than the real deal. Autographs Store has a rigorous authentication protocol in place involving seen records ? an industry standard that requires an actual visual recording of a signing event to be held by the company selling the football memorabilia. The record in question is either a dated digital photograph, legally witnessed, or a proper video recording. Every signed shirt or other item of sports memorabilia supplied with an authenticity certificate has a number that allows it to be traced back to the visual record proving when and where it was signed.

In memorabilia terms, the Manchester United signed shirt and the Liverpool signed shirt are never going to go out of style. Getting the first numbers in a new batch, though, have that extra something all collectors value. So get moving!

Sports-O-Zone Self-Service Kiosks Are New Non Franchise Business Opportunity for Locker Rooms, Gyms, Health Clubs, Workout Centers and Sports Facilities

West Chester, PA (PRWEB) December 12, 2005

A new self-service kiosk is available that that ozone-sanitizes sports equipment to help prevent the spread of MRSA and staph infection. Sports-O-Zone’s (http://www.sportsozone.com) patented Equipment Deodorizing and Sanitizing Self-Service System ? integrated with the new MEI Combo Acceptor that accepts cash-and-credit card payments ? are installed at sports facilities nationwide to help prevent infections that could sideline professional and amateur athletes.

Already installed in over 30 sports facilities including in the NFL St. Louis Rams? locker room, the new ozone-sanitizing system enables athletes to completely clean and sanitize their clothing and sports equipment in just five minutes for $ 10. The system was developed to inhibit the spread of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) and other bacterial infections and viruses through athletic equipment at gyms, health clubs, workout centers and sports facilities.

In the case of MRSA, the New England Journal of Medicine (http://content.nejm.org/) reports that about 2 million people develop a dangerous infection each year in the U.S ? many of whom are athletes. In addition, both the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Federation of High School Associations have issued alerts on skin infections, and NFL medical staff have received Centers for Disease Control (CDC) documentation on MRSA infections. As the CDC explains, the infection is spread via contact with infected persons or by contact with shared equipment that carry the bacteria, and can affect the skin, heart, and central nervous system. [More information available at http://signonsandiego.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&title=Battling+a+superbug

Sports-O-Zone self-service kiosks use ozone gas to kill 99.99% of microorganisms without any residue or odor. Unlike other locker room sanitizing systems, the Sports-O-Zone system efficiently dispenses ozone gas to effectively permeate all the crevices in the equipment, including those not easily reached with sprays or other types of disinfectants.

The Sports-O-Zone ozone sanitizing system is a 4 feet tall by 5 feet wide front-loading machine that is installed in a locker room, arena, or other sports facility. Users open the door, insert the load of equipment and clothing, close the door, and either insert a $ 10 bill or swipe their credit card. This new business opportunity requires no ?consumables? like detergent or other disinfectants, as it converts regular air to ozone gas. Facilities that install the system enjoy virtually indefinite, maintenance-free operation. It is capable of ?cleaning? over two hundred loads per day, generating over $ 2,500 in revenue.

According to Sports-O-Zone president Pat McKenna, ?The Sports-O-Zone ozone sanitizing system in the Burnsville Ice Arena (Burnsville, MN) has been operating for over two years without maintenance. Not only does it improve the safety and cleanliness of the users of the facility and equipment, it?s really a cash cow for the operator of the facility.?

MEI?s Combo Acceptor payment system was integrated in May 2005 and marks the first major implementation of the product line in the field. Sports-O-Zone evaluated various cash acceptor products before selecting MEI for its self-service kiosk. A history of reliable performance, customer payment flexibility, and a PC-based wireless credit card acceptor were the key reasons they selected the MEI Combo Acceptor for this new business opportunity. ?About 40% of customers choose to pay with cash so the decision to offer both cash and credit is really paying off,? concluded McKenna.

About MEI?s Combo Acceptor

The MEI Series 2000 Combo Acceptor features a Series 2000 bill acceptor and a debris-resistant, swipe-style credit card reader. Credit card transactions are integrated through the kiosk for delivery to the vendor?s backend system. MEI?s Series 2000 bill acceptors use advanced optical scanning technology to identify and validate legitimate bills in virtually any condition. They exceed industry standards for the acceptance of wet, damaged, and crinkled bills; accept coupons; and meet the MEI Gold Standard for water resistance with full fluid protection and jam resistance, preventing shorted boards.

About MEI

MEI systems are relied upon for more than 1 billion transactions per week in 90 countries. The company developed the first electronic coin mechanism in the 1960s, followed by the first electronic non-contact bill acceptor, and more recently its vending management system. Today MEI has the largest worldwide installed base of unattended payment mechanisms. In 2004, MEI reached a milestone of selling more than 3.5 million bill acceptors, 4.5 million coin mechanisms and 1 million control boards worldwide. Its products are in widespread use in the vending, soft drink, gaming, amusement, transportation, retail, and kiosk markets.

Former MN Gophers Athletic Star Joins Lommen Abdo Law Firm; Lee Hutton III Brings Sports Representation to Firm’s Growing Entertainment Practice Plus Considerable Trial Skills


Minneapolis, New York, Hudson, WI (PRWEB) October 23, 2007

Former MN Gophers Football, Track and Field Star joins Lommen Abdo Law Firm; Lee Hutton III brings sports representation to firm’s growing entertainment practice plus considerable trial skills.

A former Golden Gopher letterman has joined the law firm of Lommen, Abdo, Cole, King & Stageberg, P.A., effective October 1, 2007. Lee Hutton III, who played for the Gophers between 1994 and 1999, brings sports representation of players from the NFL and area coaches to the firm’s growing entertainment practice, plus considerable litigation skills in construction law, products liability, premises liability, advertising law and other areas. Hutton was previously at Johnson & Condon, P.A., in Edina, MN, where he was an Associate Attorney in the Liability and Litigation Group (2003-2007).

“Lommen Abdo is an ideal place for me to grow both my skills as a litigator and my practice in sports and entertainment law. There are not many law firms that would allow me to do both,” Hutton says. “The firm’s substantial relationships throughout the entertainment industry and the corporate community provide a great foundation for my sports clients to help them further their careers and their businesses. But I’m also excited to be joining a law firm with a history of successful litigation that dates back more than 70 years.”

With entertainment law offices in New York and Minneapolis, the law firm boasts one of the largest entertainment practices in the Midwest. Lee will further expand its roster of music, film, game, literary and other intellectual property issues with his experience in player- and sports-related contracts, says Ken Abdo, Co-Chair of the entertainment division at the firm.

“We believe Lee will grow his already significant sports practice as part of Lommen Abdo’s legal entertainment services,” Abdo notes. “Lee has the grid iron-honed drive, talent and skill. We’re thrilled to have him on our team. This is definitely important yardage for our practice.”

“Gopher football fans will remember number 3 for his aggressive and competitive spirit on the field,” says Margie Bodas, Attorney/V.P. Practice Management for Lommen Abdo. “His outgoing nature, strong communication skills, and community participation–including his affiliation with the Norwegian Norske Torske Clubben, perhaps the only membership held by an African-American in Minnesota — make him a great asset for current and future clients of the firm. His substantial business trial experience and sports practice that serves players, coaches, educational organizations and local nightclub establishments make him a double threat.”

Hutton’s clients and colleagues expect the best and get it from him

Those same sentiments were reflected in remarks from former and current clients and longtime colleagues:

“Lee always has done a good job for us,” says Jim Clark of Great Plains Supply Co., based in Oakdale, MN, who retained Hutton for about 30 cases of water intrusion where the company was charged with water-related damages as a subcontractor in the residential home building industry. “He’s aggressive and smart and has done very well defending our company.”

“Things really changed once we started working with Lee,” explains Jim Jordan, a general contractor with the 12-year-old Prairieland Homes company in Mankato, MN. “We were working with other legal representation but felt like we were not gaining any traction. Lee really charged ahead and he really knows his stuff on construction litigation. He’s aggressive, knowledgeable and a good communicator, plus he’s enjoyable to work with.”

“Lee’s always shown leadership ability, from the time he was on student committees in college to his professional duties as an attorney,” says Darrell Thompson, who broadcasts Gophers football games for WCCO Radio and who also is the Executive Director of Bolder Options, a youth program that helps young juvenile offenders. “I’ve know him for 10 years and he’s very capable of getting things done, whether it’s a reconciliation process or working with sports and agents. Lee’s got great capacity for accomplishment and goes above and beyond what’s required of him. He has always been someone you could trust to get things done.”

About Lee Hutton III

A Texas native, Hutton came to the University of Minnesota on an athletic scholarship and had an outstanding academic and athletic career while at the U. He was recruited by Coach Wacker and played under Coach Glen Mason. He also met his future wife at the university. The couple has two children and lives in Brooklyn Park.
