SPORTS AND PEACE

Hope, soon our politicians and decision makers understand  this phenomenen, Sports can heal and recuperate a fragmented society, balance the socio-cultural-economic in-equliities,can alleviate the gullibility of the average population,can provide /generate empoyment oppurtunities to millions of youth--and manage their surplus energies to positive and productive use. 

STRESS ETIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT

Often people live  their entire life with out realising the difference between work,rest,recreation and this becomes a day to day life style.Some times government/corporates/even educational institutions fail to realise the siginificance of this differentiation.,and suffer in the form of agitations,lack of productivity,poor health,metabolic disorders and subsequently financial loss.It is important govts; enact appropriate legistations to settle this issue.

TENNIS PLAYERS HICCUPS IN THE RANKING LADDER

   TENNIS PLAYERS HICCUPS IN THE RANKING LADDER:-.Often tennis players finds it very difficult to climp up the ranking, and this is the reason many potential champions fail to realise their real potentials before they retire from the competitive play.Although there are so many reasons behind this, may be travel related,psychological/management related and so on.
          Now we discus some thing which is training/recovery and its'' SPECIFICITY,OVER LOAD AND REVERSIBILITY'' related'' FACTORS'' Often players do a warm up /conditioning routine, which becomes an automated routine for them. In the long run this pattern /sequence of movements prove to be detrimental to their development due to its very nature of getting adapted in to the players ''movement system'' THIS SITUATION IS INDIVIDUAL PLAYER SPECIFIC and needs a carefull assessment/analysis involving a combination of expertise from several domains of sports science disciplines.Very rich professional players can afford to get this services by experts on a ''PREMIUM PRICE'' and MOVE UP IN THE LADDER RANKING.  It is our responsibility to see that this knowledge''knowhow package'' be made available/affordable to all the tennis players accross the continents/countries/cultures,so that game will grow more so the professioals involved in the game. 

IS IT A SERIOUS SITUATION ?--PLEASE COMMENT

TOO MUCH AUTOMATION IN DAY TO DAY LIFE AS A RESULT OF WEALTH,INVOLVEMENT OF HI TECH-- TECHNOLOGY IN LIFESTYLE,ON THE CONTRARY STRESS IN ITS COGNITIVE FORM REMAINS OR RAISES, I BELIVE THIS HURTS THE SOCIETY ACROSS THE COUNTRIES/CONTINENTS/CULTURES/SOCIETIES----THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME TO THINK ABOUT FINDING SOLUTIONS--TO THIS ''INACTIVITY EPIDEMIC'' CAN SPORTS HELP TO ALLEVIATE/IMPROVE THE SITUATION---- YOUR COMMENTS PLEASE---

CAUSES LEADING TO UNFORCED ERRORS/INJURIES

CAUSES LEADING TO UNFORCED ERRORS/INJURIES:-  Often tennis mums/dads out of over enthusiasm force/persuade their children to do the training, often not specifically required in that situation and some times this proves very detrimental to the development of skills and tennis competence--TO QUOTE AN EXAMPLE---Often children are compelled to do static stretches with out proper warm up this ends in joint laxity/loss of accuracy due to EXCESS RANGE OF MOVEMENTin a isolated joint---such children may commit lot of unforced errors,may land in injuries and may take more time to recover after training/competitions-- TENNIS PARENTS PLEASE BE WELL IN FORMED WITH THE EFFECTS OF EXERCISES/ TRAINING PROCEURES--AND ITS CASCADING CONSEQUENCES ON PERFORMANCE, BEFORE FORCING YOUR KIDS.

EXERCISE AND BRAIN FUNCTION

Excellence in any endeavour should be possble, only with total involvement of mind and body here is some empherical evidence and possible causal connections.

SECRETS OF EXCELLENCE

Coaches in any sports or life in general we should make sincere attempt to identify the causal factors behind an individual's attempt for excellence. This can make the path to excellence much quicker and higher. 

STRESS CAUSED BY DENIAL AND ITS COPING SKILLS

HABITUAL PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS AND EXERCISES--AUGMENTS THE STRESS COPING SKILLS-THIS PROCESS IS WELL SUPPORTED WITH EMPHERICAL FINDINGS-UP TO HORMONAL/AND MOLECULAR LEVEL RESEARCHES.

TEAM WORK-NEEDED FOR DEVELOPMENT--CAN SPORTS HELP?

In a country like India,we have a lot of diversity on the basis of several
socio/cultural/linguistic/economic/religious/regional factors--SPORTS REALLY CAN INFUSE A LOT OF POSITIVE TRAITS IN THE MINDS OF THE CITIZENS----Will our politicians and officials understand this phenomenon.

COURSE INNOVATION IN UNIVERSITIES AND EMPLOYMENT GENERATION

           COURSE INNOVATION IN UNIVERSITIES AND EMPLOYMENT GENERATION:    

            Southern states in India are experiencing a boom in new colleges and universities but, facing a challenge of  poor student enrollment, decline in employability among graduates/post graduates produced due to a situation of lack of relevance in course of study to societal needs at the global level.

           Teaching ,support staff lacks a sharpness in latest domain knowledge to cater  the specific needs which are ever changing due to knowledge explosion and, are unable to cope with the competition in the global front.

          Please see this situation critically, at present there is a glut in Electronics and Communication graduates,and many are jobless,struggling to get employment,or underpaid. But their sub domain ''Digital image processing'' is a subject very much in demand in medical imaging,''X'' rays,CAT scan, and digital interpretations.All that is required is an INNOVATION of linking the relevant process, and sub domains and offer it as a course of study .Students may take it as a certificate /diploma and consequently elevate their  employability.

          Universities can generate funds by offering it through distance/online modes also.This approach needs some creative and selfless approach to overcome the ''INITIAL RESISTANCE'' from the respective domain of knowledge/technology experts. But such ''MATING'' of several sub-domains in Agriculture,Medicine,Arts and Science,Sports, may generate huge potential in the employment front.Prince. Do you have a question?----please let us have some dialogue ------on this.

DEVELOPMENT RELATED HICCUPS IN UNIVERSITIES, ENGINEERING, COLLEGES/COLLEGES.

DEVELOPMENT RELATED HICCUPS IN UNIVERSITIES, ENGINEERING COLLEGES/COLLEGES.

YES: Situation -1.Institutions with good infra-structure[ buildings/ linking roads, far away from people concentration]but teaching and support staff lacks required skills.

Situation-2.Too many colleges in a particular district/location and too many qualified staff but demand supply of students not adequate.

How to fix this situation: Situation one and two are complimenting each other by careful manipulation this can be settled well.

Situation-3. Reputed age old institutions, glut in teaching and support staff, qualified but not having  all the enough  skills to deal the situation, poor HR management, out dated rules/regulations, native bias, communal/regional prejudice, proliferation of malpractices-subjective situations leading to employee over crowding, anxieties, affiliations, agitations, lock outs ,crimes etc.

How to fix it: Adequate employee well fare measures , need based identification of job diversification, and specific skill based in service training, re- designation/ appropriate service rules-and gradually situation will get stabilized after a considerable period of time. But a very creative/ innovative, persuasive, unbiased leadership, with an expertise in human psycho-dynamics is required to handle the situation.

Situation-4.Specific to a particular district in Tamil Nadu. Kanya Kumari district in Tamil Nadu,southern most tip of India is with a total area of less than 650 sq.miles and a total population of less than 19 lakhs ,with highest literacy and population density .There are more than 30 engineering colleges ,one tech..University facing acute shortage in student enrollment. Students prefer to join in far away institutions/universities despite the availability of institutions at the doorstep.

How to fix it:-1. Colleges may have to provide whole some facilities for all round development, student mix-up facilities at intra - inter-institutional level, A well developed infrastructure for extra-curricular activities with good hostel facilities. Scholarships for meritorious students, besides academic, fine arts, sports and other talents also to be provided. Students from northern, north-western/eastern, educationally backward states should be reached, and may be provided with concessions, privileges in treatment.

2- In Malaysia, native Tamils and  Chinese finds it very difficult to get admissions for higher studies due to their reservation policies. Our institutions can provide quality programs at an affordable cost to their currency exchange value to Indian rupees. As well as students from most of the African countries, may find India a suitable destination in the aspect of affordability/safety/education quality etc.

3-Collaboration with job providers: Tie ups,with potential job generators/ providers, appropriate training in required skills ‘’soft skills’’and such training. Bring,appoint faculty with International education/exposure/tie ups with higher ranked Universities may improve the situation. Let us wish and hope Engineering colleges at Kanyakumari district will think, innovative and move ahead .DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION PLEASE –Prince.

PIT FALLS IN UNIVERSITY RESEARCH PROGRAMS- HOW TO FIX IT?

PIT FALLS IN UNIVERSITY RESEARCH:
Situation: Rapid expansion in information technology and the speed in collection,storage and retrieval capabilities exceed the mundane and customary evaluation procedures of the research report,besides, laxity and dilution in identification of specialized areas in research and respective experts lead to the proliferation of ''JACK OF ALL TRADES'' in advisers and examiners.In addition to this''COPY AND PASTE'' facilities leads to duplication and replication of studies.
HOW TO FIX THE SITUATION?
1, Modify the research program regulation format, with more emphasis on course work with more focus on acquiring in depth ''DOMAIN KNOWLEDGE'' related to the topic.
2,Adequate research directives and adviser rating,merited upon innovation,development and creation of patents towards the solution of imminent problems of the surrounding community.
3,A triangular arrangement involving the government,industry,and universities in topic selection,funding,supervision,and evaluation to provide solutions to the problems at hand may improve the situation.
4,Research auditing should be a part of routine''ACADEMIC AUDITING'' in the universities, and may employ the technique of ''CORRELATION ANALYSIS,META ANALYSIS'' of the results will help to maintain quality and originality in research.

AFFILIATION IS A PSYCHOLOGICAL NEED OF HUMANS

        Affiliation is a natural need of humans, just like appetite,or need for procreation- In countries with forms of government which are not democratic, suppression of this need may lead to problems of unrest,agitation,insurgency,militancy,and may lead to fragmentation,and will be crippled in all the fronts of development.In democratic forms of government some times this need  of AFFILIATION is suppressed in indirect forms by poor and subjective governance,and due to population GULLIBILITY.

       Sports and games provides several chances of affiliation and by developing/participating and nurturing sports people affiliate as fan groups for certain games/sports stars,and this is positive and good for peace and tranquil, if there is a good SPORTS MANAGEMENT  and infrastructure.Hope governments will realize this phenomenen and take appropriate steps.

EMOTIONAL MANAGEMENT WITH SPORTS AND EXERCISES

This info is a well/much discussed and documented topic still countries / industries/business corporations show scant regard for this phenomenon in their employee's,health,wellness and HR management- HOPE WE WILL SEE GOOD CHANGES FOR THE DAYS AHEAD

SPECIFICITY AND PURPOSE

SPECIFICITY AND PURPOSE OF TRAINING PLAYS PROMINENT IN SPORTS PERFORMANCE: Sports coaches should be careful in considering this factor in planning and distributing the duration of their training periodization to bring in positive changes in performance in any sports, more so in tennis. They may have to identify the qualities required and allot time and task on  need based priorities  of the athletes' /tennis player.

SPORTS PARTICIPATION IMPROVES YOUR PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS

Sports and games like tennis we play deuce /advantage and back to deuce and such situations in a tough competitive play may enhance the capacity of the person to handle critical situations in life with ease and comfort and come out successfully at the end of the day.

THEORY OF SURPLUS ENERGY

THIS INFO FORMS THE BASIS FOR SPORTS TRAINING/SCIENCES. A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS PROCESS CAN PAVE WAY FOR SPORTS TRAINING WITH OUT STRAINING THE SYSTEM BESIDES THE SOCIO-PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS MAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE PEACE AND TRANQUIL IN A SOCIETY.

THE FACTORS OF VELOCITY IN A TENNIS SHOT

STAGNATION DESPITE SINCERE EFFORTS:SITUATION: Not able to hit winners with high velocity as you please?

Causes: 1, Too ambitious to hit hard with high velocity before the body is ready.
             2, Messing up with the three''S'' [synergy,summation,sequence] in a shot.
             3,Flaws in early stage training due to a factor ''emotional hitting''.

    To create velocity in a projectile[remaining all the other factors constant] the synergy of movements,[kinetic chain] the sequence of muscle firing,and the progressive velocity of segments from the medial line to the point of contact with out any interruption are at most important. Any of the above mentioned factors overlapping,due to a situation like,gripping the racket too hard,not able to get the feel of the ball at contact,insufficient range of movement in a joint,and the player's capability to generate velocity by the muscle contractile quality may also affect the speed of shots.

Remedies: Practice ''ABSOLUTE SHOTS'' with the self drop balls/and/or with direct hit self tossed balls with proper awareness  to the details under the supervision of the coach.

TENNIS PARENTS AND ADULT SELF CONFIDENCE

CAN A TENNIS PARENT INFLUENCE THE ADULT SELF CONCEPT/CONFIDENCE/DECISION MAKING OF THEIR PLAYER KIDS?''YES''

        Tennis parents should be careful and cautious before pushing their kids to win in a sports /game competition for superior winning performance always.Such parents should realize that their kids are their own ''GENETIC BLUE PRINT'' and recall their own performance during that stage of life.This rational approach may do much good to the ''psychological grounding''to the kids. In the meanwhile parents should be shrewd enough to select  the right coaches/surface of play and recovery etc. Meticulous preparation and monitoring of travel and connected aspects with out exerting any pressure on the kids may pave way for the ''healthy psychological'' adolescence/adult hood with out conflicts and problem. 

ON COURT MELTDOWN-AN ETIOLOGY

OCM:-On Court Meltdown during high voltage competition may be due to the acyclic nature of competitive tennis,the eccentric thrust on the body as a result of surface friction,the steely will to win, an unsurmountable opponent,a kind of grinding movement all can result in a situation of ''ON COURT MELTDOWN'' There may be a symptom of referred pain,with out any outward symptoms of injury.This is a natural process of humans' excitatory/inhibitory mechanism based on fight or flight syndrome.Coaches/parents should be aware of this phenomenon and handle such situation with compassion and refrain from pushing any further.In major tournaments RULES MAY BE MADE WITH PROVISIONS FOR SUCH SITUATIONS.Such players should be put on recovery mode, fixing should be aimed at the basic causes rather than symptamatic and should be focused to gain the stability of main core,corrective interventions in stroke mechanics,appropriate lifestyle modifications,adequate rest, etc
READERS MAY THROW MORE LIGHT ONT HIS PHENOMENON.  

COMMUNITY SPORTS ,PEACE AND TRANQUIL

COMMUNITY SPORTS,PEACE AND TRANQUIL: Sports and exercises linked with peace and tranquil in a society.Participating in sports provides a person with an opportunity to satisfy his aggressive tendencies.This situation is linked with the anthropological factors,being HOMOSAPIENS which is inherent in him/her. In some cultures these tendencies are getting acquired during the growth process due to certain situations created by regional conflicts,certain type of religious indoctrination,and in consequently poverty/gullibility related factors
       This kind of acquired aggression is more rampant in under developed/developing nations and in certain cases, though affluent governments failed in providing adequate  sports facilities/leadership in sports.It is important for governments,corporate organizations,educational institutions should understand the exercise psychological need and plan in advance and execute proper policies/programs,develop infrastructure,skilled manpower to manage this process,so that future problems can be averted,peace and tranquil will become a reality.     

RELEASE SEQUENCE.[Sample]

TENNIS SPECIFIC EXPLOSIVE STRENGTH

TSE Strength:  It is an individual's muscle contractile quality which enables to play tennis with blistering, high velocity fore/back hands and booming serves.This quality can be assessed and trained by using multiple throws using medicine balls[2kg for 70 kg tennis athlete]-with appropriate angle,simulating the serve,fore/back hand sequence involving all the relevant joint segments with progressive velocity.

    This is a quality to be trained after developing maximum,relative strength qualities or may lead to joint laxity,proneness to injuries and decline in performance.SO FOR A BOOMING SERVE develop TSE STRENGTH. Do have a question ,please ask.
