{{service.description}}He would get the win, have his redemption and walk away with his head held high. But that win has been tainted by the tapout that referee Charles Robinson did not see. Undertaker went from being the cagey veteran who wouldn't say die to being the cheap-shot artist taking the easy way out. By all rights, The Phenom has turned heel. However, this was perhaps the best way to keep their rivalry going. Now fans are getting more than just a nice feud with a cliched ending; they're getting a dramatic twist and a reason for the heat between the two to continue. The fact is that two matches would never have been enough for Undertaker and Lesnar. There was too much intensity and too much bad blood to believe one more match was not needed to wrap things up. The two men proved they can still tell a compelling story, and that story

With the 24/7 media coverage of pro sport, sports fans have become accustomed to and somewhat complacent with hearing about athletes and their deviant acts.In fact, new statistics reveal that bad behavior is clearly evident among high school athletes, particularly in high-contact sports.

There's a growing condition affecting educational and sports research: a general aversion to talking about truth and its associates, such as fact, knowledge and evidence. This aversion is so widespread in some settings that it is taken for granted. I've learned from first hand experience that questioning the assumption that truth is a big con leads to looks of disorientated alarm.In one of those rare articles that people actually talk about occasionally I called this position 'veriphobia', or fear of truth. I've since learned from colleagues better educated than me that I've managed to compound Greek and Latin words, which apparently is a linguistic crime. But I still think it is a neat word!

I received my copy of The Sport and Exercise Scientist in the post today, and gave the cover the usual cursory glance. My scan picked up an interesting question: "Is studying anxiety interpretations useful for sport and exercise psychologists?". So I thumbed through and found a rather interesting debate between two sport psychologists, staged by email and reprinted for the benefit of others. The debate gave me heart and caused me frustration, because while it opened up an important avenue for research and practice, they both missed the fact that a theory has been in place for over 25 years that adequately addresses all of the issues raised. That theory is Reversal Theory (Apter).

I'm astounded at what is clearly a reaction to hypnosis based on a complete ignorance of the facts. Firstly, to suggest that hypnosis detracts from the players being "who they are and what they are" and "It may give kids a mixed message if you can't do it on your own." is complete nonsense - if you're saying players shouldn't use mental training to improve at their sport, then surely they shouldn't be doing physical training either? According to this odd logic, getting the players fitter or bulking them up already suggests they can't do it on their own!

Implementing a sport programme in a post-disaster area is more than just bringing a ball and telling people to kick it around.

Anyone working in sports therapy will be well aware of how common it is for athletes to injure themselves. Sports therapists also understand that the severity of physical injury is not the only factor determining recovery. Some athletes adjust well to having an injury, whereas others don't. What makes the difference is how the athlete psychologically interprets and processes the fact of the injury.

We all experience frustration when our needs, wants and demands are not met, or when we are faced with obstacles that impede our progress. Frustration is a fact of life; therefore our ability to tolerate frustration is crucial to the successful achievement of our long-term goals.

Obesity is one of the leading causes of premature death in the United States. This is due to the diseases that are attributed to obesity and the magnitude of these diseases.
