Nashville, TN (PRWEB) January 26, 2006

Football games sometimes result in terrible injuries ? and they?re not always on the field. Injuries can take place inside the throats of screaming fans at the stadium, in sports bars, or even at home watching TV with friends. According to leading voice expert Renee Grant-Williams, sustained yelling can brutally tear up a fan?s vocal cords resulting in damage that may persist long after Super Bowl Sunday.

?Whenever anyone yells repeatedly, it puts severe friction and pressure on their vocal cords. A fan risks becoming hoarse, losing their voice or even developing nodes,? says Grant-Williams. ?Nodes are like callouses, they form on the vocal cords to protect them from strain. However, nodes get in the way and keep the vocal cords from fitting together cleanly, causing the voice to become hoarse and unpredictable. Over time, these nodes may require surgery.?

Grant-Williams offers suggestions for voice protection during the Super Bowl:

1) Dress appropriately. Layer clothing so the layers can be removed or added as needed. Fans attending the game should take a warm scarf to protect the throat.

2) Drink plenty of fluids. Limit beverages that dehydrate, such as alcohol and caffeinated drinks.

3) Eat smart. Eat a good balance of protein and carbohydrates. Limit the intake of salty foods like salted nuts and chips.

4) When expressing support for your team, breathe low and support the yelling by contracting your lower abdominal muscles. Do not scream from the throat.

?Just as in football, the best defense for the voice is a good offense,? says Grant-Williams. ?Don?t wait until the damage is done to take precautions. Even though it is normal to be enthusiastic during a sports event, think twice before yelling too much.?

Grant-Williams offers more tips in her book, ?Voice Power: Using Your Voice to Captivate, Persuade, and Command Attention? published by AMACOM Books, New York. This book is endorsed by Paul Harvey and was selected by ?Soundview Executive Book Summaries? as one of the best business books of 2002.

Renee Grant-Williams coaches business executives, sales professionals and celebrities including Faith Hill, the Dixie Chicks, Tim McGraw, Linda Ronstadt, Randy Travis and Huey Lewis. She presents communication programs to business organizations and has been quoted by Business Week, Cosmopolitan, AP, UPI, TV Guide, CareerBuilder, CNN, Southern Living, the Chicago Tribune, the Boston Globe and the San Francisco Chronicle. She has appeared on numerous broadcast outlets including ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, Bravo, USA, MTV, GAC, NPR

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 10, 2009

Women are sports fans too. That?s the motivation behind HerGameFace.com, a new online destination for female sports fans. HerGameFace.com was created when Jennifer Myers Robb and Diane Burnett, two savvy online marketers with a passion for sports, grew tired of the endless search for sports apparel that fit a woman?s body.

?I would spend hours wading through thousands of men?s jerseys and t-shirts to find the perfect Tar Heels fitted shirt only to end up buying a youth size because there weren?t any styles that fit me?, says Myers Robb, a UNC grad. ?While there are dozens of great websites for sports fans, none cater to the special needs of women. Diane and I decided to apply our over two decades of combined online marketing experience to create a website for die-hard female fans to shop for the items that they are looking for ?from a curve hugging vintage jersey to a stylish purse in school colors.?

From that inspiration grew HerGameFace.com, a site that caters to growing female fan bases across college and professional sports teams. Finally, there is one destination where women can shop for fan gear and gifts from all of their favorite sports teams including NCAA, NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, NASCAR and Soccer. HerGameFace.com aggregates hundreds of thousands of products from trusted online merchants including Sports Authority, FansEdge, and FootballFanatics.com. Myers Robb and Burnett have developed an algorithm that filters and sorts items using keywords most used by female shoppers across a wide range of categories such as apparel, tailgating, collectibles, and autographed memorabilia. Filters allow users to quickly and easily find the size and style representing their favorite team.

?Our game plan is to become the premier online destination for female sports fans,? says Burnett. ?HerGameFace.com continues to add new partners and inventory every month and will continue to refine the display algorithm to further improve the customer experience. We also plan to grow into a community where women can read the latest sports news, discuss the big game, and connect with each other.?

For more information about HerGameFace.com and to shop for fan gear and gifts, visit the web site at http://www.hergameface.com or contact Jennifer Myers Robb or Diane Burnett via email at info(at)hergameface(dot)com or Jennifer by phone at 954-778-0047.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2005

Orion Data Analysis Corporation (ODAC) announces the successful launch of StatShark.com, the first online sports forecasting service that enables people to see the results of 10,000 simulated games before the actual game is played. StatShark.com was launched at the beginning of the 2005 professional football season. The service is available to the millions of people who love sports and need forecasting services for online gaming and fantasy football teams. StatShark.com will also be forecasting professional basketball in fall 2005 and 2006 baseball for the 2006 season.

“StatShark is an addictive and easy-to-use site that takes into account factors which regular sports fans are unable to calculate. The engine accurately simulates each game, play-by-play, 10,000 times after assessing the irregularities in athlete and team performances,” said Jason Manasse, CEO, Orion Data Analysis Corporation. “Now, in addition to following historical stats and listening to expert recommendations, sports fans can use StatShark.com to get the odds of the odds, test their hunches about future player performance, and research the upcoming game in a way that has never been done.”

Sports fans can log on to StatShark.com for free to get game forecasts. They can also subscribe as a FAN for in depth fantasy forecasting and forecasted player rankings, or as a PRO which provides access to all forecasts, including the means and medians for all statistics. StatShark uses the latest player data available for each athlete and team and automatically forecasts every statistic a player and team can generate. Online gamers and fantasy sports fanatics can then leverage the easy-to-use interactive tools to test team and player performance for the upcoming week and determine their best play.

StatShark.com simulates sporting events using ODAC’s proprietary data analysis and simulation engine. After dozens of game conditions are assessed and each player, team and coach’s patterns of performance and response to these conditions are analyzed, StatShark leverages this condition-response analysis to construct a mathematical equation comprised of over 100 different variables that describe every player, team and coach, individually. The mathematical versions of the players, teams and coaches play each game one play at a time. Each individual simulation result is a realistic approximation of what could happen in an upcoming game. By simulating each game 10,000 times, StatShark.com generates the full range of possible results and the precise odds and probabilities for every statistic, every player, and every game.

For credentialed editors and reporters, a 3 month PRO subscription will be provided for free.

Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 14, 2005

EveryTeam.com, the first social networking website dedicated to enhancement of sports fan interaction and communication, launched their website at the beginning of the 2005 National Football League season.

?We are excited to give sports fans of every sport, and of every team the best services we could offer to network and communicate with other fans around the world about the thing they love. Sports!? explained Jason Morrow, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder.

Similar to social networking industry giants like MySpace and Friendster who provide online services, EveryTeam.com is designed specifically for sports fans to facilitate online and offline social interaction with other sports fans around the world.

EveryTeam lets fans interact in traditional ways that are common to most sports fan sites such as with forums and messaging, but EveryTeam also provides the ability for fans to develop their own teammate and rival lists (similar to buddy lists), create social groups that they can invite other fans to be a member of, write blogs and subscribe to other fan blogs, store and share their favorite sports photos, subscribe to their favorite sports news RSS (Real Simple Syndication) feeds, post and search classifieds and much more.

EveryTeam has also partnered with UserPlane to provide state-of-the-art streaming audio and video technologies with their flash-based chat room, instant messenger and the video recorder. Fans will be able to instant message their favorite teammate or rival. Fans can chat with hundreds of other fans in the chat rooms before, after and even during a game- a virtual tailgate party. With the video recorder, fans will be able to record their own video greeting for other fans to watch.

?There is no internet user as exciting as the sports fan,? said Morrow, ?and we want to offer fans a site that is just as fun and exciting as they are.?

While many sports fans have online communities to interact on, these communities are primarily focused on a single team and users would need to signup multiple accounts and remember multiple passwords with several websites to get their fan fix for each of their favorite teams and sports. EveryTeam is a convenient one-stop place to socialize and talk about all their favorite sports, team and athletes.

?There is not a more hyped time of the year for sports fans than right now. We just finished the baseball season with the White Sox winning the World Series, the National Football League is heating up as team are striving for the playoffs, and we also have basketball and hockey in full stride too.? pronounced Hari Swaminathan, EveryTeam partner and co-founder.

?It?s all about the fans and their love of sports. EveryTeam is designed for the hardcore sports fanatic as well as the casual sports fan.? Said Duane Hunton, EveryTeam partner and co-founder.

Fans can now enter to win a 42 inch plasma television. Check http://www.EveryTeam.com for contest details.
