Dodgeball is no longer just a game for school gym's. It's also a competitive sport now. This past weekend at the Dodgeball World Cup, players we're dipping, diving & ducking all over the court. One of the players from Canada had said that it was exciting and great seeing people's reaction knowing that Dodgeball was an official competitive sport. All this was display at a World Dodgeball Association's second tournament. There were 13 different countries in men's, woman's and mixed competition. 10 teams each competed for the ultimate title. Dodgeball has grown ever since 2013. There were 35 countries competing from different continental federations back then. In the present it has grown to over 62 countries. That is extremely satisfying. Can you believe on how much people are actually enjoying this competitive sport? It really is great hearing that there is almost 67.5 million participants worldwide. That statement shocked me.

Here are three things that are going right during this years Texans Training Camp.

1. They're Staying Healthy: Unlike a year ago, when wide receiver Will Fuller broke his collarbone, the Texans have no major injuries.
 

2. The Offensive Line Is Holding Together: The offensive line is in the midst of a nearly complete overhaul. New starters Seantrel Henderson, Zach Fulton, Senio Kelemete and Juien Davenport have held up well.

3. Lamar Miller Looks Faster; Losing weight to get down to 217 pounds is why I'm assuming. The Texans running back is much leaner and looks a lot more explosive than he did a year ago during a sluggish season.

If I ever was a Coach, I would always want to see my running backs leaner and faster. But, I do know this is football. We need someone to pound the rock and take a bunch of snaps in short yardage situations too.
