Custom Cycling Socks 101
Written by Joe Pied on February 8, 2010 – 5:54 pm -Cycling socks? What are those? If you cycle a lot, whether or not you’re in exercising for that sport or not, you need a specialized kind of sock so that the moisture your feet generate will not be absorbed by your skin and therefore causes it to be a lot more susceptible to skin irritations and blisters. In addition, sportsman’s foot and other fungal and bacterial infections might be considerably more frequent in feet that are often wet.
Biking socks use special yarns that wick humidity away from the skin; the moisture is moved to an outside layer so that the skin continues to breathe and the feet stay dry, which facilitates keeping them free of blisters and less prone to microbial and fungal infections.
Biking socks are also special due to the fact they don’t require breathable sneakers to evaporate sweat. Rather, their own specific combination of wicking and “water loving” yarns absorb moisture and lock it away from the skin. On top of that, should you be cycling in cold weather, you need yarns that are going to insulate and keep your feet warm, too. So these insulating fibers employed for the cycling socks also trap warmth and air even as they wick away humidity and enable skin to breathe.

The General Psychology of Tennis (Part 1)
Written by Gail Jones on September 20, 2009 – 10:32 am -Tennis psychology is only understanding the workings of your opponent’s mind and gauging the effect of your own game on his/her head and also understanding the psychological effects resulting from the various external causes on your own mind.
However, it is also true that you no one can be a successful psychologist of others without first understanding his own mental processes. Therefore, you must study the effect on yourself of the same thing happening under various circumstances. This is because people react differently in different moods and under different circumstances.
You have to realize the effect on your game of the ensuing annoyance, joy, confusion, or whatever other form your reaction takes. Does it increase your efficiency? If so, strive for it, but never offer it to your opponent. Does it deprive you of concentration? If so, either remove the reason, but if that isn’t possible, strive to ignore it.
Once you have accurately assessed your own reaction to circumstances, observe your opponents in order to decide their temperaments. Similar characters react similarly, and you may judge men of your own kind by yourself. Opposite temperaments you must seek to compare with people whose reactions you know.
