Blog Reviews

BLOG #1 The first blog I checked out was authored by a colleage of mine.  I spent several weeks at the Olympic Training Center with Vern Gambetta.  At the time he was involved coaches education for track and field. Since that time has worked with professional athletes.  He worked with the Chicago White Sox and Bulls as the Strength and Conditioning Coach.  Vern's Blog at http://www.gambetta.com/ was very informative and included a variety of subject areas.  Many of his peers posted their comments which guided me to other blogs. The design of his blog was simple, lacking in color and used the same pictures as he had on his home page.  The side panels gives the reader many options and even included sponsors of his blog and an application for apprentorship. BLOG #2 Stephan Wolfram's blog at http://www.stephanwolfram.com/ was white and the side panels were blank.  His postings were geared towards readers that are very knowledgable in the area of science.  His postings were often accompanied by YouTube videos of lectures.  The videos were very professional but way over my head. BLOG #3 The Pole Vault University blog started out with a very colorful logo but lacked color as you scrolled through the postings.  There was very little in the side panels.  The postings were geared to both high school athletes and coaches.  It pulled a lot of favorable comments. This blog can be found at http://www.polevaultu.com/   Blog #4 Go to http://www.foundationstrength.com/ and find a very attractive blog.  The colors were stylish and well coordinated.  The posts lack substance and became very obvious that their goal was to advertise there products and camps.  I give it a high grade on style but I couldn't give the postings any favorable comments.   Blog #5 I was hoping to find a good blog on the high jump.  The only blogs that were any good were created by major sports networks.  The network didn't offer any information about training or technique.  I settled for a blog at http://www.webclicshoppingmall.com/ I'm not sure what the objective of the blog was but I didn't stay on their blog long. The blog was poorly done.  It was far to simple with blank side panels.  The postings were lacking information that someone with an interest in the high jump would want to read.  I doubt that this blog is on anyone's list of favorite blogs.
