With the US Open in town, it’s not uncommon to get caught up in the exciting matches and maybe pick up a racket yourself. Tennis players are considered “overhead” athletes who use their upper arms and shoulders in an overhead throwing or swinging motion – but the work and power actually starts in the lower body.

Sports have always been a passion of mine, whether it was playing them growing up, catching recaps on the late night news or going to games in person. So whenever I have the rare chance to cover sports as a reporter, it’s always exhilarating. I’ve been lucky enough to see international Olympic medalists ice skate in Manhattan; speak with Team […]
When Formula E racing began five years ago, no one knew how internationally popular it’d become, let alone if it would be successful on the circuit. “We started from a blank page and electric racing [didn’t exist] at the time. So, we had to discover it and try to do something that was suitable for everyone,” Spark Racing Technology Commercial […]
The Formula E race on Sunday offered many different activities besides just the chance to watch Formula E cars drive up to 174 mph on the 1.475 mile course. Red Hook’s Brooklyn Cruise Terminal featured one indoor and one outdoor Allianz E-Village with lots of sponsored booths and activities for guests of all ages. Each section within each E-Village was […]

Catholic elementary school staff members played a friendly, mini game of baseball at the Brooklyn Cyclones’ annual Catholic School Night on June 17. Prior to the start of the Cyclones-Aberdeen IronBirds game that night, “Collars and Scholars” from the Dioceses of Brooklyn and Queens took their places to see who the best was, outside the classroom and on MCU Park’s […]
Driver Pascal Wehrlein from Germany will be one of 22 drivers fighting to clear the finish line the fastest and claim a podium spot at the 2019 New York City ePrix this weekend. The ABB FIA Formula E Championship and New York City ePrix returns to Red Hook once again for rounds 12 and 13 – the final two races of […]
I like hiking, but I’ve never been rock climbing. I’d estimate that Breakneck Ridge, a trail within Hudson Highlands State Park at the border of Putnam and Dutchess counties, occupies a rough halfway spot between the two activities. A weekends-only stop on the Hudson line of the Metro-North Commuter Railroad, with a pair of small yellow platforms on either side […]
“Why is there such a connection between such a brutal sport like boxing and faith,” the accomplished Bensonhurst, Brooklyn born and raised Craig Tubiolo said. “You would think it’s the complete opposite and ironic.” Craig Tubiolo, who directed and executive produced Ring of Faith, has had a passion for the sport of boxing since he was a kid and explored the link […]
