Do You Wear Jewellery When You Play Sport?
Perhaps it was all of Serena Williams's good luck charms that won her a third Wimbledon title! On Saturday, the 27 year old played on centre court wearing a large diamond heart pendant, hooped earrings and a bracelet.
Whilst her all-white ensemble was tennis apropos, the jewellery wasn't something that I expected to see.

Today I'm bringing you gift ideas for the sports fanatic in your life. I've got a selection of sport-related books, DVDs, video games, equipment and subscriptions for sport-loving brothers, boyfriends, cousins and friends.

Speak Up: What Sports Did You Play as a Kid?
Playing sports is so important when you're young, especially for girls. Being on a team or training for an individual sport like tennis or track helps to build friendships, teaches you how to communicate and work with others, and builds confidence, and it's a great way to encourage kids to get in the habit of staying active. When I was a kid, soccer was my sport, but I'd play just about anything.
Speak Up: Who's Your Favorite Current Athlete?
Spring and Summer are busy seasons in the wide world of sports, and the Olympics are just around the corner. Exciting competitions like Wimbledon and the US Open, not to mention the ongoing baseball season, definitely make for good entertainment.
The athletes are fun to watch and inspiring, too, so I was wondering .
Extreme Sport: Stair Racing
If you love the StairMaster, you're going to love stair racing (also called stair or skyscraper run-ups). If you enter a race, you start at the ground level of a gigantic building, and you run up the stairs with hundreds of other people, often ascending thousands of steps in a few minutes. Just recently in the Taipei 101 race, a German athlete sprinted up 91 floors in 10 minutes and 53 seconds!
Are You Going to Watch Wimbledon?
The 2008 Wimbledon Championships starts today and I, for one, am very excited. I love the game and I love watching strong men and women duke it out on the grass courts. I know that not everyone is a tennis fan, so will you be watching?
Get in Gear: Wiffle Balls Come in PINK!!!
Over the weekend I was suggesting that you get out and play a fun (and possibly slightly competitive) game of wiffle ball. Well, I just had to tell you about something I found that will make it even better!
Pink wiffle balls!
It's Ultimate Frisbee Time
Warmer weather always makes we want to go for a nice long walk in the park. I always see college kids, running around barefoot, and tossing around a frisbee. Some ladies are causal frisbee tossers, and others take the game much more seriously.Dodgeball? A Workout?
Okay, I'm having major PE flashbacks here. Dodgeball was definitely not my favorite sport as a child, but Dodgeball, the movie definitely sparked my interest in the sport as an adult. I just found out that Crunch Fitness Gyms offer Dodgeball 101 classes.Ice-Ice Surfing
Ice surfing, also called Ice Sailing or Snofering, is a lot like windsurfing, but you ride ice instead of waves. It's a hybrid sport mixing the speed of snowboarding with the agility and power of wind surfing.
The board is similar to a skateboard, with ice blades in place of wheels.
