Founded by Mr. Patrick Reid, The Texas AllStar Baseball Academy, TASBA, has been in existence since 1994. It began as a 2,000 square foot training facility in Houston, Texas that offered private baseball instruction. In June 2002, Reid relocated to south Austin, next to the National Elite Gymnastics Facility in Oak Hill. TASBA is presently a small group training facility and the leader in Functional Athletic Movement. It is a complete athletic experience for the committed amateur baseball player. The new location is a six acre outdoor training facility with six lighted batting cages, seven lighted pitching mounds, a long toss field used for measurement, an obstacle course, and a field turf training field. TASBA is the only Austin-based training facility endorsed by Ron Wolforth, the CEO of the Texas Baseball Ranch and originator of the Velocity Improvement Arm Care Program. The program has produced 175 scholarship athletes to over 70 schools. Over 30 former students have signed professional baseball contracts, including 3 first round draft picks. Six players have even worn a Major League Baseball jersey. Differentiating itself from other baseball facilities, TASBA does not sell uniforms or bats, does not hold birthday parties or tournaments for other sports. The average training sessions are paid by the hour. Parents are typically the financial provider and purchase blocks of hours, depending on their needs. The normal sessions are held Monday through Thursday.…
Terry Fox was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, but raised in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, a community near Vancouver on Canada's west coast. As an active teenager involved in many sports, in 1977 Terry was only 18 years old when he was diagnosed with bone cancer and forced to have his right leg amputated six inches above the knee.…
According to Aesop " Adventure is worthwhile", and traveling is one of the best adventures that people can experience in life. Also, by going to places that you've never been open up your mind to new things, new people, and you learn from it as much as you can. In my case, I'm fortunate to have been able to visit different cities all over the world, but only two of them have completely captivated me, San Francisco, California and Miami, Florida. Even though these two cities are located in the same country, both have many differences such as in the public transportation, food-population, and lifestyle.…
Taking risks meaning jumping off of cliffs, swimming in a ocean with man-eating sharks, and climbing massive mountains with assertive. Exploring history that was discovered a long time ago would be enjoyable to see it in person. Seeing where Jesus was in the world and what he did. Listening to stories about George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. Building up my confidence when traveling can be a fun experience. Of course, do crazy things and enjoying myself. Adventures reduce stress so I can relax. Relaxing on Virginia beach would be nice, but to visit Hawaii and enjoy the beach would be an enjoyment. Adventures can be amazing, good for your health, and…
Travel is good for the mind, body and soul, traveling independently will help us learn more about ourselves and who we are as people because, “you think you know, but you have no idea” a movie titled “the secret life of Walter middy” has inspired my topic even…
One of the main purposes of travel is to gain experiences that allow us to grow and develop as individuals and it is important that people travel the way that bests suits them at a particular time. For example, I like to go on adventure holidays and this invariably includes a small group and expert guide, and I frequently participate in writing retreats around the world with like-minded people. However for me, the real joy of travelling has always been to take off on my own and just 'see' what comes along the way. Of course this can sometimes be fraught with frustrations, difficulties and even dangers.…

I have always had a knack for traveling. Since a young age I have found comfort in going to places I have never been. Embracing the culture and questioning why things are done a certain way and exploring the incredible world that I am surrounded by. It brings me peace just being somewhere I have never been. I think it is important to be put in situations that you might not be familiar with and learn how to adapt, how to survive on your own. It’s important to go to unfamiliar places and meet unfamiliar people.…
Travel is a fundamental part of people’s lives in the 21st century. It is just like what Anita Desai said, “Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.”…
The first step in successful traveling is deciding where to go. In traveling it is possible to choose to go somewhere fun or somewhere educational. The destination can be a cold or hot environment. It is the choice of the traveler. He or she’s travel destination might be near or far. It is the traveler’s decision. You are the one going on the trip, so he or she must go some place they would enjoy visiting. One must go to a place that interests them, that ensures them they will have an enjoyable trip.…
- Travelling unravels the beauties and beasts of an unfamiliar world. It’s a kaleidoscopic adventure with a spectrum of colours. Whether you are letting your palate choose your destination or your unquenchable thirst for adrenaline, it is always an experience that awakens our inner child by offering us new, “first-time” experiences. Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that the best time they ever had in their life was the trip they took right after graduating from college (if they were lucky enough). I can’t stress enough how important I feel it is for more young people, who have sufficient funds of course, to travel and see the world around them. Start thinking outside the norm a little bit, get out of your comfort zones and start exploring!…
One thing is for certain, we only serve to gain from our travels. Two paths await you when you travel. You can leave behind all the comforts of home and set off for a sheltered location that provides all the same comforts available to you at home. Or you can take the second route. Shed your lifestyle, customs, and certainties and escape into a new world that you can fully embrace. Trust me, the second path is always more fulfilling, plus the stories you come home with will be even better than any spa retreat could ever serve up. Travel should be something you learn from as much as to enjoy. Anyone can travel, but smart travelers will approach everything with an open mind and heart that allows them to see the real beauty in the places they set out to explore. Here are some of my favorite travel quotes to get you thinking differently about the way you travel. On Why You Should Travel Experience travel, these are as education in themselves. Euripides He who does not travel does not know the value of men. Moorish Proverb Wandering re-establishes the original harmony which once existed between man and the universe. Anatole France The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. St. Augustine Motivation To Go Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds. Explore. Dream. Discover. Mark Twain Adventure is worthwhile in itself. Amelia Earhart Only those who will…
