Eat to excel
How fit are you? Do you look after yourself? Do you eat healthily or do you eat anything you like? Premier League football club Aston Villa are encouraging their players and local children to eat healthy food. They know that what you eat is the key to success.
How fit is a footballer?
A man's game?
If you asked people to name a ‘male sport’, there’s a good chance they’d say ‘football’. ‘After all,’ they’d argue, ‘it’s played and watched by millions of boys and men across the world, the famous players are men, the match officials are men, the commentators are all men.
In short, football’s a man’s game. Women just aren’t interested – everybody knows that!’
1. What's happening at Fulham?
Once a week for the last three years, trainers at Fulham have been working with a group of children. Each week, the children meet up for a training session. The sessions concentrate on the basic skills of football – passing, control, teamwork. Occasionally, they play matches against other teams. There are training sessions like this at Premier League clubs around the country but what makes this Fulham team special is that the children in this group all have Down’s syndrome.
Wolves, as they are known to their fans, confirmed their promotion with a 1-0 home win against Queens Park Rangers after a season in which they dominated the Championship.
After a 2-2 draw with Plymouth Argyle on the first day of the season they won 7 games in a row with striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake scoring 10 goals in his first 14 games of the season.
A tense 2-1 victory against promotion rivals Reading on the last day of the 2008-09 season ensured that Birmingham returned to the top flight after just one season’s absence. This was a fair reward for manager Alex McLeish and his team who had been near the top of the table all season.
