...Fußball-Club 1896, upon the suggestion of Ferdinand-Wilhelm Fricke, founder of the Deutscher FV 1878 Hannover.[2] Their initial enthusiasm was for athletics and rugby; football did not become their primary interest until 1899. Most of the membership of Germania 1902 Hannover became part of 96 in 1902, while others of the club formed Hannoverscher Ballspielverein. In 1913, they merged with Ballverein 1898 Hannovera (formed in the 1905 merger of Fußballverein Hannovera 1898 Hannover and Hannoverscher BV) to become Hannoverscher Sportverein 1896. Hannoverscher FC's colours were black-white-green, but they played in blue, while BV played in red. The newly united team kept black-white-green as the club colours, but they chose to take to the field in red, giving the team the nickname Die Roten (en: The Reds). The team's third jersey is in the club's official colours. The club made regular appearances in the national playoffs through the early 1900s, but were unable to progress past Eintracht Braunschweig, planting the seeds of a rivalry that has survived to this day. HSV continued to field strong sides and make national level appearances on into the 1920s. Under the Third Reich, German football was re-organized into 16 top-flight leagues in 1933 and Hannover became part of the Gauliga Niedersachsen. They appeared in the country's final rounds in 1935 and sent representatives to the national side the next year. They won their first national championship in 1938 in what was one of the...

...As I ran up and down the tee line, I saw my uncle slamming the ground with a golf club. I could not understand why he was always so angry when practicing. I stopped running and watched him closely, studying his body as he elegantly whipped the club through the air. Sweat was dripping from his nose, his shirt soaked completely through. I was ten years old and in awe of this man. He was an athlete. I watched him for hours that day, and I would watch him for years to come as he practiced, trying to find the perfect swing. The perfect golf swing is thought to be unattainable to many in the golfing world. I spent my childhood playing on a driving range, watching my uncle hit ball after ball. He is a PGA-certified professional who has made it his life's work to find the perfect swing. I cannot inform you on the perfect golf swing because I have never witnessed it, although I can explain the fundamentals of golf. There are four components which make up the golf swing, stance and posture, the grip, the backswing, and the follow through. By breaking golf into these four components, I will be able to verbally illustrate the most fundamentally sound swing possible. When done correctly the golf swing has the fluidity of sand in an hourglass, combined with the power of a coiled spring. It is truly a beautiful thing to witness when refined to this level. The proper stance and posture enable a golfer to be perfectly balanced and poised throughout the swing. Only when this occurs will...

Industry Background The fitness center industry only came to light in the 1970s and 1980s with simple cardio (running), and aerobics. Though, in the early 2000s an enormous growth occurred in the industry; in the beginning of the decade there were 16,938 combined gyms and clubs, and by January 2008, there were 29,636 combined gyms and clubs (Franchise Help, 2015). This industry comes in many shapes and colors, so to speak; there are large name-brand franchises such as LA Fitness, 24 Hr. Fitness, and the YMCA, there are small local gyms that are ran by neighbors and friends of a small town, and of course the private, elite country clubs and spas (First Research: Mergent, 2015). Regardless of size, name or cost; all of these fitness centers provide the same things; various exercise equipment: free weights, cardio machines (treadmills, the elliptical, and stationary bicycles), pools, and spas, sport courts (tennis, racquetball, basketball, etc.), personal training, and group classes.

In addition, as Hoye et al (2009) state, strategy can be an explanation of how sports organizations survive with competitions and sustentation. As Forster (2006: 72)...

...brand Manchester United (abbreviated as ManUtd, www.manutd.com) has developed into one of the most famous and financially successful football clubs in the world, being recognized in virtually every country, even those with little interest in the sport. Real Madrid has displaced ManUtd from the pole position in Deloitte’s football money league. The list, which has been running for the last 9 years, identifies the top 20 clubs in terms of revenue. The top five in 2008 were: Real Madrid with 3365.8 million, Manchester United (3324.8 million), FC Barcelona (3308.8 million), Bayern Munich (3295.3 million) and Chelsea (3268.9 million) (Deloitte, 2009). Having won the Premier League and Champions League in 2007/08, United would have overtaken Real Madrid at the top of the Deloitte Football Money League had it not been for the depreciation of the pound. The top 20 clubs now generate more than three times the combined revenue of the clubs in the first Money League publication in 1996/97. The most valuable US sport teams, the National Football League’s Washington Redskins and baseball’s New York Yankees, are both worth somewhat more but more than any US sports team, ManUtd has built a global brand. Since the mass commercialization of football in 1992, Manchester United has unquestionably been the team to beat. In the past 16 seasons, it has collected 10 Premier League titles, four FA Cups and two Champion League trophies. Old Trafford regularly attracts more than 75,000 fans paying...

...performance. The Jazz piece entitled “Take Five” was choreographed by Julianna Hane. The piece was inspired by the 1920s jazz clubs and combined the authentic style of the time with contemporary movement. thought the costumes were absolutely wonderful. The bright, bold colors that contrasted against eachother brought life to the piece. The dance started and ended the same, with the one guy walking onto the stage (and then exiting at the end). His quirk drew my attention and I was immediately drawn in. At the beginning I thought the movement was a tad slow-going. I was hoping to see a more “va-va-voom” like dance because of the inspiration behind the piece, the roaring 20s. I expected to have a more sultry draw as well. One part that really stood out to me was the little solo section. I thought the concept of the group dancing in the circle and taking turns to individually have the spotlight was great. They each demonstrated different skills and brought something new to the piece. It reminded me of a "dance off" in a way. I especially loved how all at once they came back together with the same movement. Throughout the piece there were lots of grand hand-gestures, exaggerated movements, and long-legged kicks. It was very clear it was a jazz piece based on these movements, and off course the music. One piece that was especially moving to me was the duet “Finding Place”, choreographed by Gretchen McLaine. It...
