This year golf tournament was played at Pelican Hill Golf Club on the North Course in a scramble format. After lunch and warm ups the groups that included Bo Jackson, Richard Dent, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott, Tim Brown, Laurence Taylor, Marcus Allen, Thurman Thomas and a bunch more.

Los Angeles, CA – From the opening tip you could tell that the Los Angeles Sparks were on a mission. The Sparks won their 11th game in row 77-71 over the Phoenix Mercury. Candace Parker looked for her offensive to start the game and the first basket in the second half. Parker finished with 24 Points, 11 rebounds in the game.

Late in the fourth quarter with the score 73-69 with 3:39 left in the game Sparks coach Brian Agler called a critical time out to gather his troops. Out of that time out the Sparks left with an empty possession on shot clock violation. But they played solid defense to score a basket and force Phoenix to call a timeout 75-69 1:12 in the game.

The team took a four point lead into the half after setting the tone being the aggressor. Phoenix would not go away quietly that kept battling behind the aggressive play of their guard Diana Taurasi who dropped 7 points if first half and 15 to finish the game. She was forced to miss big minutes in first half due to early foul trouble. Most real basketball fans were waiting for Taurasi to explode, but it never happen.

Sparks reserve guard Chelsea Gray stepped up in the game with her defense and smart play on the offensive side of the ball as well.  Gray played 16 plus minutes spelling Essence Carson who had a slow start but finished with 12 points for the game. Gray’s play was better than her stat line. Four of the five starters scored in double figures for the night. The Sparks out scoured the Mercury 42-22 in the paint.

The Sparks could have easily fell into a trap looking forward to next Tuesday’s matchup with the undefeated Minnesota Lynx. These two teams will be facing off in the first or second round of the playoffs barring some hefty injuries bugs.

The Battle of the WEST WNBA giants will be at Staples Center Tuesday June 21st at 12:30pm for the Camp game spectacular. Nneka Ogwumike spoke on the match up, “It should be a special game, playing the best.”

Los Angeles, CA – The Los Angeles Sparks 10-0 now after defeating Chicago Sky 98-85. Nneka Ogwumike recorded her 6th double-double of the season finishing the game with 27 points and 12 rebounds. This team is finding a way to win, no matter who number is called.

Candace Parker had little of a breakout game being the second leading scorer with 17 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists on 50% shooting from the field. The Sparks had five players scored in double figures, with four of five starters in that group.

A bright spot for the Sky was guard Cappie Pondexter 20 points to lead her team. Center Erika de Souza crashed the boards pulling down 12 boards in defeat. The Sparks jumped out to 11 point lead by halftime on the Sky 48-37.

The Los Angeles Sparks will host the Phoenix Mercury this Friday 17th at Staples Center. They will have to get past Brittney & Phoenix before facing off the Minnesota Lynx who are also perfect thus far this season.

Los Angeles, Ca – Oh what a night the Los Angeles Sparks defeat the New York Liberty 100-77. The Sparks defense and pace of play was the key. No Liberty starters scored in double figures in the game. This year Coach Agler has a full team to start the season and it shows.

The Sparks started the game strong scoring 27 points in first quarter on their way to the century mark. They hadn’t scored over 100 points in a game since the 2014 season. How fitting that the hundred point of the game was made at the free throw line by Jantel Lavender. Lavender lead the Sparks with a game high 22 points. “I’m finding my place off the bench to score.”, said Lavender on her new role.

They had five players score in double figures Kristi Tolver 19 points, Nneka Ogwumike 18 points & 10 rebounds, Essence Carson 15 points. Look who’s missing from scoring double digits, the star Candace Parker who only need 5 points, 5 rebounds in the win.

Tonight was a statement game by the Sparks to the WNBA that they are poised and ready to go. It didn’t matter who was their opponent on the court. The Sparks keeping the record unblemished to start the season now 8-0 after the win. Last season after eight games team was 0-8 then got first win in 9th game of season.

New York’s leading scorer Shavonte Zellous finished with 12 points off the bench. They shot 42.6% from the field which was not enough. They were out scored in the paint by 40 to 30 points by the Sparks. The Sparks also dominated fast break points 13-0.

This Sparks team is playing as a team for Agler, who knows how far they can go. Even at halftime they were celebrating by having their new banners re-revealed from 2001 & 2002 Championships teams. They will play in Dallas on Saturday, June 11 against the Dallas Wings at 5:30pm.

UCLA, Mora Agree to Contract Extension

LOS ANGELES – UCLA and head football coach Jim Mora have agreed to a two-year contract extension through the 2021 season, it was announced today by Director of Athletics Dan Guerrero.

In his first four seasons at UCLA, Mora has equaled the school record for most victories over a four-year span (37) while leading the Bruins to wins in 11 of their last 12 non-conference matchups, four consecutive bowl appearances, two school-record tying 10-win seasons (the eighth and ninth in UCLA history) and more than 70 team and individual school records.

Last season, the third straight in which UCLA has made an appearance in the Top 10 of the AP Poll and the first such stretch for the team since 1984-89, eight Bruins, including first-round selection Kenny Clark and second-round pick Myles Jack, were chosen in the 2016 NFL Draft. The total of eight players selected in this draft was the most of any Pac-12 school, the third most of any school in the country and the most UCLA has had drafted since the draft went to seven rounds in 1994. Additionally, UCLA has never had more players selected over a four year span since the draft went to seven rounds than the 20 chosen during the Mora era.

With kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn capturing the Lou Groza Award last season, four Bruins under Mora have now captured a total of five national awards – Eric Kendricks (2014 Butkus Award, 2014 Lott Trophy), Anthony Barr (2013 Lott Trophy) and Xavier Su’a-Filo (2013 Morris Trophy).

Mora’s impact at UCLA has extended well beyond the football field, however, having recently made the largest donation by a sitting head coach in UCLA history this past August. Earmarked for the Wasserman Football Center project, the donation is in addition to the role Mora has played in both the development of, and fundraising efforts for, the Bruins’ new state-of-the-art football specific training facility.

Right now at the NFL owners meeting in Charlotte NC, this and few other majors things are being voted on from enhancing Instant Replay and more. All 32 teams were pitched a live presentation on how diverse, creative, & the entertainment capital of the world. The largest sporting events have been held in Los Angeles from Olympics, World Cup, All Star Weekends and seven other Super Bowls.

The Super Bowl bid includes 60,000 hotel room nights (with the possibility of generating up to 100,000 total room nights). That’s not even taken account the other activities the region will host officially & unofficially.

Los Angeles, Ca – UCLA Athletics has taken a giant step with new apparel deal with Under Armour. Their official contract is not due to start until July 1st, 2017. At today’s press conference you could see smiles all around with a great university & great brand joining forces at the tune of $280 Million dollars over 15 years. Ucla Athletic Director Dan Guerrero along with founder CEO Under Armour Kevin Plank address those in attendance.

As part of the partnership, Under Armour will exclusively design and supply the footwear, apparel and equipment for training and game-day uniforms for all 25 of the university’s men’s and women’s varsity athletic teams. This is the largest apparel deal in the history of the NCAA, reaffirming UCLA’s status as a world-class institution and Under Armour’s position as a global leader committed to collegiate athletics. So fitting for the first school who was the first to win 100 National Championships with 113 and counting.

This is not the first time UCLA went shopping like a NFL free agent to test the market. Back in mid 90’s Reebok was able to lure UCLA away from Adidas for most major athletic sports but Soccer was among the teams that stuck with Adidas. UCLA Football coach was Terry Donahue back then during those contract talks. The players knew something was brewing and some players wanted a switch to Nike. Donahue said, “If Nike wants to pay us for wearing their shoes…” He knew then UCLA had the name and the marketing power to be paid and respected as the best.

So true to form UCLA make the correct call aligning themselves with a company that truly understands what this schools bring to the table. Under Armour now has a flagship school on the West Coast for the Maryland Based Brand. They now have three school in the PAC-12 UCLA, Utah & Cal Berkeley.

Time for the Bruin Fans to get geared up, don’t worry Tradition will stay intact with little cutting edge innovation. BE READY!

Los Angeles, Ca – The Los Angeles Sparks started off the WNBA 20th season on a good foot defeating the Seattle Storm 96-66. What a difference a year makes, having your players ready and on the court to start the season. It’s only game one of the season but the Sparks ready for a run.

Candace Parker dropped 21 points for the Sparks in first half allowing her team to jump to 25 point lead. Parker completed the game with 34 points, 50% from 3 point land. Guard Kristi Toliver scored 14 points, 4 assist with some timely shots in the first half. All Star Nneka Ogwumike pulled down 7 rebounds with 13 points facing rookie Breanna Stewart.

The Sparks started the game with a little showtime flare, everyone seemed to know exactly where each player was on the court. The Sparks 8-0 start set the tone even after the Storm had a run of their own. Sparks Coach Brian Agler said, “I was very pleased with their energy & enthusiasm today.”

Stewart didn’t disappoint the Storms in her debut 23 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assist & a block in 34 minutes of play. Sometimes a rookie needs to get comfortable but not Stewart, she stepped up big in a lopsided defeat. Storm guard Jewell Loyd dropped 20 points, 8/8 free throw line & 5 assists.

The teams just traded baskets back in forth for the first six minutes in the 3rd quarter with a score of 62-39. There was some good basketball being played by both teams going into the fourth quarter. The Sparks regrouped lead by Parker who just refused to lose. New comer Essence Carson who scored 9 points dropped a late bucket to keep the game in hand.

They will get back to the gym to work so they can continue to play Sparks Basketball for the next 33 games. Sparks will travel to Washington to face the Washington Mystics on Friday May 20th at 4:00pm.

 

 

Salena Collins is Strengthening Her Community with Health

In the month of April, the US celebrated Public Health Week.

A little background about the week itself: During the first full week of April each year, APHA brings together communities across the United States to observe National Public Health Week as a time to recognize the contributions of public health and highlight issues that are important to improving our nation. For over 20 years, APHA has served as the organizer of NPHW. Every year, the Association develops a national campaign to educate the public, policymakers and practitioners about issues related to each year’s theme. APHA creates new NPHW materials each year that can be used during and after NPHW to raise awareness about public health and prevention. (NPHW.org)

We had the pleasure of talking with Salena Collins, owner of the first yoga studio in Inglewood, California, Clear Gardens Yoga. Salena has made it her mission to change the community’s mindset of health–starting with its youth. She has created and implemented the first yoga curriculum in Inglewood Schools and is expanding to other cities.

Learn more about her powerful mission and vision below!

Empire Life: What led you to pursue a career in health education?
Salena Collins: My heart led me to a career in Mindfulness and Health. I strongly believe that mindfulness and health are one in the same. I began practicing Yoga at the age of 17 as a senior in high school. It was at the end of my first class in savasana that I knew I came across something good and life changing. I experienced clarity physically, by leaving any tension behind in class, and clarity mentally by simply tuning in to my breathing and finding an easy pattern.

It was with maturity and growth that I felt an urge to share this with people, children and adults. Children because they are our future, and if they are aware of the power of their thoughts and intentions they are unstoppable. Adults because they are a direct source for a child’s introduction to life, and it is a fact that you can only teach what you know.

EL: What’s your vision for expanding the message of health and yoga?
SC: The vision I hold of the expansion of health and yoga is clear and currently unfolding. The Balance of Life Project was created in 2015 and since has served over 6 ICEF schools. Inner City Education Foundation operates on 10 campuses that serve grades K-12. I intend to expand The Balance of Life Project into a non-profit organization, that encourages mindfulness and heath to all institutions in the Los Angeles area. I envision The Balance of Life Project being a foundational resource of self care for staff and children of schools, group homes, and camps. The focus will be health and mindfulness for everyone involved, because what one does will effect another.

EL: What one piece of advice you have for community-minded entrepreneurs?
SC: If I had one piece of advice for a community-minded entrepreneur, it would be a quote that I live by: how you do anything is how you do everything.

In other words, consistency, honesty, and intention begins with you.

The same focus and intention that you have with those things and/or experiences considered small translate to those things and/or experiences that you consider to be big or important. So start with what you have, and where you are. Growth is inevitable, lucky for us, that’s just how life works.

Keep in the loop with Salena and her amazing mission at her website and yoga studio!
