I can't get enough of the anime entitled Haikyu!! I find myself running to my TV to rewatch episodes after work. Haikyu!! is a story about a boys volleyball team. The characters in the story have such a passion for the game and the writing is beautifully paced! Haikyu!! has even made me tear up on more than one occasion! I don't want to spoil it so I will describe it vaguely. There is this scene with one of the main characters and he is dealing with tremendous odds. While going through these odds it is apparent that he is on his own and has never really received support from others. Seeing him continue to press on despite his hurdles made me cry like a baby. Besides the emotional factor, I also love Haikyu!! because it's teaching me how to play volleyball! I'm learning a lot of volleyball terms and find myself inspired to play! I'd recommend Haikyu!! to anyone interested in an anime with well-developed characters and a lot of heart!

  

I use to love sports. I mean really love them. For as long as I can remember I was obsessed with American Football. Not just a fan like some people, but I knew about professional, semi-professional, international, collegiate... pretty much any and all topics.

In 1992, I became equally obsessed with the Olympics, thanks mostly to the Dream Team. From there I began to enjoy Ice Hockey, because of the Winter Olympics. The FIFA 98 video game was my gateway to Soccer. Then I also discovered the joy of Rugby and Cricket.

My life was full of sports, but then it faded away. Now, as the biggest sports day in America approaches, I realize how little interest remains. I still follow my favorite Rugby Team on Facebook, and occasionally I check on the Soccer clubs I support, but that is the limit.
