Vancouver, Wash. (PRWEB) December 14, 2005 -

BookSurge announces the publication of Innocence in the Red Zone, by Roger M. Groves.

College and professional sports has increasingly become a ticket out of the inner city and poverty for African American athletes. Recruiters from the Big Ten and other college athletic departments discovered that talent and drive often thrived in the mean streets, and it translated into electrifying athletics on the basketball courts and football fields of the major universities.

Presently, African American players dominate the collegiate grid irons, but upward movement into coaching and other post-player positions have rarely materialized for these smart, quick, dedicated athletes.

Roger M. Groves drilled down into the records, the statistics, and the past in the Big Ten football programs to find out why such a disparity existed and continues to exist between African American and white players who go on to become head coaches and decision makers in America?s heartland of athletics and professional sports.

He illustrates this story of disparity by focusing on Bobby Williams, Michigan State University head coach and bowl winner one year and unemployed two years later. In a cross-examination using facts and interviews, he ably indicts the system that allows the disparity to continue year after year, decade after decade.

But the book is not just an indictment, it’s also an invitation. It provides multiple recommendations to university decision makers on how to hire and not fire African American coaches. Groves fervently and humbly asks that they remember what the venerable president of MSU said decades ago “In education only people are important” so when accepting student athletes with unique academic challenges, they compassionately provide coaches that care and connect with those players and send them out better off than when they came in.

Racine, WI (PRWEB) June 13, 2008

Green Bay’s head coach Mike McCarthy is seeing Red these days: Case IH Red. “Green Bay’s Coach McCarthy is officially endorsing Service Motor Company – one of the top Case IH dealerships serving the greater Green Bay area – as well as the famed Case IH Farmall line of tractors,” says Julie Rudnick, Case IH manager of marketing communications.

“Coach is appearing in television and print advertising for Service Motor Company, explaining why a new Case IH Farmall tractor was the best choice for him,” Rudnick adds. “In the ads, he credits the power and reliability of Case IH equipment.”

Coach McCarthy will serve as a guest speaker for the Service Motor Company special VIP customer event to be held at Lambeau Field.

“We’re thrilled to have Coach McCarthy on the Case IH team. With our worldwide corporate headquarters in Wisconsin, thousands of Case IH enthusiasts are obviously die-hard Green Bay fans – and have been for decades,” says Rudnick.

“And with 2008 being the 85th anniversary of the famous Farmall tractors, it’s a great time to celebrate all three legacies,” she says. Service Motor Company was established in 1916, when Antone Sommer began selling Case tractors on his farm near Dale, Wisconsin. That was three years before Curly Lambeau formed a football team in Green Bay, in 1919. Four years later in 1923, the first Farmall tractors were introduced. “Nearly a century later, all three are much bigger, stronger and more successful than any of the founders could have ever expected,” Rudnick notes.

Service Motor Company has been serving northeastern and central Wisconsin’s football fans for 90 years. The company has six locations: Green Bay, Dale, Fond du Lac, Seymour, Stevens Point and Wausau.

Case IH is a global leader in agricultural equipment, committed to collaborating with its customers to develop the most powerful, productive, reliable equipment – for those who demand more. With headquarters in the United States, Case IH has a network of dealers and distributors that operates in over 160 countries. Case IH provides agricultural equipment systems, flexible financial service offerings and parts and service support for professional farmers and commercial operators through a dedicated network of professional dealers and distributors. Productivity enhancing products include tractors; combines and harvesters; hay and forage equipment; tillage tools; planting and seeding systems; sprayers and applicators; and site-specific farming tools.

(Vocus) May 19, 2009

Pittsburgh, May 18, 2009 — Forget a three-peat, Salt Lake City-based rugby Coach Larry Gelwix (whose coaching philosophy is immortalized in the film Forever Strong, debuting on DVD May 26) led his team Highland Rugby to its 19th national rugby championship title on Saturday.

Saturday’s national championship win brought Gelwix’s overall win/loss total in his 34 years of coaching to an unprecedented 392-9. That’s a 98 percent winning record, and marks Gelwix as the winningest coach in America. The coaching records of legendary coaches like the Tennessee Lady Vol’s Pat Summit (84 percent), UCLA’s John Wooden (81 percent), and the NFL’s Vince Lombardi (74 percent) still fall short to Gelwix.

Since the inception of a sanctioned High School National Tournament 25 years ago, Highland Rugby has won the national title 19 times, finished 2nd five times and 3rd only once. Salt Lake City’s Deseret News called Gelwix’s record “mind boggling.”

The team’s championship legacy is immortalized in the new DVD, Forever Strong, which releases May 26. The film showcases Gelwix’s formula for success–a strong ethical code to achieve victory on and off the field. The result? Championship teams and championship boys.

Following in the tradition of Rudy, Remember the Titans and We are Marshall, Forever Strong offers sports action, drama and the results of following a strong ethical code to achieve victory on and off the field.

Coach Gelwix’s motto throughout his 34-year coaching career at Highland, “Be forever strong on the field, so you can be forever strong off the field,” has inspired countless teenage boys and serves as the driving force behind an unstoppable rugby powerhouse.

Ogden, IA (PRWEB) August 2, 2007

A new player has arrived in the world of health, and he’s teaching others how healthy foods can be used to heal common ailments. He’s neither a doctor nor nutritionist, nor is he a medical practitioner in any way, but his experience makes him a contender in this extremely competitive and vital arena. He’s a high school football coach who, in July, released a book called, “Healing Foods.”

Coach Rick Hamilton is a high school teacher and football coach. He has helped countless high school kids, their siblings and their parents, experience a happier and healthier life through his work. Coach Rick Hamilton believes it would be better to use nature’s own remedies, remedies with no side effects, to cure and prevent diseases. That is why he’s behind the hot new book, Healing Foods — Important Information You Need, For A Healthier Life.

“When you look at the increasing number of commercials on TV and the ads in magazines for drugs, you will notice that many times the side effects sound worse than the disease they are meant to prevent or cure!” says Hamilton. “People need to understand that by changing their diets and improving what they eat, they can live happier, healthier and more productive lives.”

The importance of eating healthy foods for their vitamin and mineral content is well documented, but in recent years scientists have discovered that there are hundreds of substances in food that have healing and disease prevention properties.

Hamilton’s book, Healing Foods — Important Information You Need For A Healthier Life, is filled with important information about foods and their healing powers. “It’s a mission,” says Hamilton. “Poor health as a result of poor eating habits is the biggest diseases in this country.” Hamilton just might have the cure.

(PRWEB) December 3, 2004

The firing of Notre Dame head coach Tyrone Willingham is already sending ripples throughout college football with rumors about potential successors instantly surfacing. With the most storied football program in America now in need of a new coach, WagerOnSports.com today announced odds on who will be named Notre Dame’s next head football coach.

The premium sports betting destination online, WagerOnSports.com has created odds on a number of coaching luminaries taking over the reigns of the Fighting Irish. Like a number of analysts and reporters, the odds makers at WagerOnSports.com believe Utah head coach Urban Meyer will succeed Willingham at Notre Dame, listing Meyer as an overwhelming 1/8 favorite. Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz, who has been rumored for several high-profile jobs in the past, has been listed with the second best odds at 8/1. The names of some NFL coaches are also being mentioned for the Notre Dame job and WagerOnSports.com has included odds on Tampa Bay coach Jon Gruden (10/1) and New England offensive coordinator Charlie Weis (15/1) taking over for the Irish.

“The head coaching job at Notre Dame is widely considered one of the most prestigious positions at any level of football,” said Michael Perry, odds maker at WagerOnSports.com. “Urban Meyer is a virtual lock to be offered the Notre Dame position – he’s a former assistant and has an out in his Utah contract if he’s offered the job. Although the odds are on Meyer’s side, Ferentz’s name always seems to pop up whenever there’s a high profile coaching opening and being a good friend of athletic director Kevin White could help bring him to South Bend. Gruden was considered for the job when Willingham was hired and Weis is a Notre Dame graduate who is known to have interest in the job.”

WagerOnSports.com has also calculated odds on several other current collegiate coaches taking over under the Golden Dome. These include: California’s Jeff Tedford (20/1); LSU’s Nick Saban (40/1); Louisville’s Bobby Petrino (50/1); and Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops (50/1). Currently unemployed coaches such as Butch Davis (100/1), Ron Zook (200/1) and Rick Neuheisel (200/1) could also be in the running for the Irish job. The odds makers at WagerOnSports.com have even calculated the odds on Notre Dame bringing back former coach Lou Holtz, who stands at 50/1 to reclaim the head coaching position in South Bend.

CINCINNATI, OH (PRWEB) September 30, 2004

The National Hockey League and its players are at a standstill regarding a collective bargaining agreement. The players are locked out of the rinks, and the owners are determined to strike a more favorable labor contract.

But all of this should not mean that NHL fans should not follow their favorite teams for the 2004-05 season.

WhatIfSports.com, the leading sports simulation site on the Internet, today announced that 30 lucky fans will be selected to manage an NHL team through an online simulation of the 2004-05 season.

The WhatIfSports.com simulation will feature the actual 2004-05 NHL schedule and all of the up-to-date NHL team rosters. Registered WhatIfSports.com users who sign up to take part in this venture will be randomly drawn and assigned to coach and manage their favorite teams for free.

Throughout the simulated 82-game season, all player statistics will be tracked, team standings compiled, awards granted and playoffs determined en route to crowning perhaps the only 2004-05 Stanley Cup champion. NHL fans must be a registered WhatIfSports.com user to participate. Registration is free, but users must sign-up for the NHL simulation by October 3 at http://www.whatifsports.com/nhl/nolockout.shtm

“Hockey fans are some of the best in all of sports,” said Tarek Kamil, President of WhatIfSports.com. “We want to provide them with a way to stay involved with the sport they are so passionate about, even with the labor issues the NHL is facing.”

Sports Sim ? Recreating the Past

Which team was better, the 1976 Montreal Canadiens, or the 1981 New York Islanders? How about the ’86 Boston Celtics or the ’96 Chicago Bulls? Were the ‘27 New York Yankees better than their ‘98 counterparts?

Sports simulation allows fans of the major sports to live the ultimate sports fantasy, letting them recreate dream sports match-ups or build teams using any player from any era. Imagine Barry Bonds and Babe Ruth on the same team!

WhatIfSports.com lets fans choose the teams, players and game factors, and then run a simulated game and see a play-by-play account of the game, as well as all of the generated stats.
