After a couple of seasons as a solid top 10 outfit, Bournemouth flirted with possible relegation last term as they finished five points and four places above the bottom four. Another testing campaign looks to be in store for the coastal club following the departure of defender James O’Connor to Doncaster Rovers and depending on whether top goalscorer James Hayter remains at the club.

Manager Sean O’Driscoll has drafted in a few young players to boost the ranks, namely former Chelsea reserve and youth team captain Danny Hollands. The 20 year old made 10 appearances on loan for Torquay United earlier this year and signed a two year contract. Liverpool striker Conal Platt, Cardiff City midfielder Tareq Khalil and Walsall’s Daryl Taylor are also looking for an opportunity to shine at the Fitness First Stadium.

O’Driscoll will also welcome the news that defender Karl Broadhurst signed a new one year contract. He has made almost 200 appearances for the club and was the last of O’Driscoll’s out of contract players to re-sign. Broadhurst was club captain for much of the 2004/05 season but a back injury kept him on the sidelines for 12 months. He returned in February this year and made seven appearances as the season reached its conclusion.

Veteran striker Steve Fletcher has also signed a new one year contract to enter his fifteenth season as a Cherries player. He is now the club’s longest serving player following his switch from Hartlepool United in 1992 and has made over 500 appearances for the club.

O’Driscoll has taken several players on trial over the summer including former Everton striker Paul Hopkins, Luton Town striker Luke Maitlan, Ipswich Town defender Jack Haverson and Tooting & Mitcham left-back Craig Tanner.

Verdict

Bournemouth is a club that likes to give youth a chance and the youngsters will have to grow up quickly in order to stave off relegation this season. A lower mid table finish is the expected result.

The role of media has always created a deep impact on the lives of the common man. While on the one hand it has updated people about the situations around the world, there again it has also created panic when half baked news has come out in the open. In India, the growing popularity of the media is having varied effects on the lives of people.

It has been quite a few years now that the Indian media has advanced from newspapers and radio and made its way into the television industry. There are several news channels that run 24×7 and keep people updated about all the incidents not only in the country but also across the world. The greatest benefit of this system is that people sitting in India get updated about the incidents that are happening in the USA within a matter of minutes. Unlike the old days, there is no need to wait till the next day when the newspapers arrive to be updated about the other side of the world. These channels also have sites on the internet that are updated every minute, so that even those who are on the move can remain up to date via internet on their mobile phones. Say for example the day when the World Trade Center came down, it was a matter of moments that people all over the world became aware of it.

Or even when the trains in London were bombed, the whole world became aware of it, thanks to the media. This immediate update enabled people from across the world to connect with their near and dear ones to ensure their safety.

However, it cannot be ignored that where on the one hand immediate knowledge about incidents help people, there again the media can be a menace at times. Media in India at times become repetitive and they keep playing the same news tape over and over again. At time those news items which are not at all important get a lot of hype, sidelining the occurrences that could be of real importance. Indian media paid too much attention to events like the wedding of a star son and a leading heroine, the kiss that a Hollywood star planted on the cheek of a Bollywood heroine, the coming to light of the clandestine relationship of a Pakistan cricketer with a lady, and also the pregnancy of a Hindi film heroine. These incidents are of least importance to the life of a common man and so much importance only takes away the light from those incidents that can really affect people in their daily lives.

Media in India is very strong and it is up to the journalists as to how they bring forth the news from across the world.

Soccer is the most popular sport in almost every country in the world. That is unless you live in the USA where football, baseball and basketball are more popular. As a soccer coach the problem is therefore how to get youth players interested in playing soccer rather than the other sports.

Firstly we need to look at the reasons as to why other sports are more popular than soccer in the USA. One of the main reasons is spectator appeal. Local football, baseball and basketball are televised and promoted in every major city in the US. Young athletes watch this and associate with their heroes. Another reason is the money available in the professional game is much more in the American sports than in soccer. As a result, more young sports players aspire to earn their living with a high income in the American sports.

Not that soccer is a poor mans sport. Wages for soccer players around the world are now on the increase. For example 2 of the best soccer players in the world Christiano Ronaldo and Robinho are reported to be on $200, 000 and $320,000 per week respectively. David Beckham who plays for LA Galaxy is also high up there with the top soccer player earners. Although the interest in soccer is growing in the US among young sportsmen, the sport cannot compete as yet with the publicity, advertising and hype of the American sports.

The question is how to persuade young players in the US that soccer is the best sport to enter. Here are a few good reasons:

Soccer is a sport that any player can play and be successful in. As in football where physique and size is a major factor, in basketball where it is very advantageous to be well over 6 feet tall, any player can be successful in soccer no matter what size or physique a player has. Big and strong players can find positions as defenders, midfielders or forwards. Small players can find positions as forwards and wingers and develop skills to be successful in these positions. Slower players can also find positions, especially in midfield. There is a place for everyone who has the desire.

The involvement in the game is much greater in soccer than it is for other sports. In football there are so many stoppages in the game. Some players like the kickers may only have very limited involvement in the game. In soccer, even if your team does not have the ball, everyone has to hustle back to defend. Even the forwards have to defend from the front. Defenders when not defending have to support the midfield and forwards.

Soccer is very fast paced with almost continuous involvement. Basketball is probably the most similar of the American sports to soccer, the biggest difference being the size of the court to the field.

As well as speed, strength and stamina, skill is of the utmost importance in soccer thus producing an athlete with more rounded attributes. At youth level you will often find that youth soccer players often excel in the other American sports.

A good way to get youth athletes more interested in soccer is to get them watching high-class professional games on TV. The English Premier League is probably the best to watch as it is fast paced with a high skill level. Many of the best players in the world play in this league. There are several TV stations that show these games like Fox Sports World.

Also it would be good to get prospective youth soccer players to go to a few of their local college soccer games or semi pro games if there is a team in the area,

And then there is that magical feeling of scoring a goal with the goal celebration to follow. Soccer is certainly on the increase in the USA. The game produces leaders with more all round ability than the US sports. Success in soccer can lead to worldwide acclaim as players like Brad Friedel who plays in the English premier league has shown.

There are approximately 335,000 churches in the United States. And, 59% or 177,000 of them have less than 100 people on any given Sunday. Of the 177,000 a large percentage of them have 50 or less in church weekly. As a result of these numbers there is a huge group of pastors in the US that are what has become known as Bi-Vocational pastors. There was a time when we called them «part time pastors.» The term part time doesn’t fit. Bi-Vocational Pastors work two jobs. They work at some profession to provide the main source of their income and they pastor the church. But, make no mistake, there is no part time pastor. You are a pastor or you or not.

Pastors have a huge task. The role of the pastor has evolved over the years as our culture has changed. There was a time when the pastor was a key figure in the community. Actually I remember the day when pastors were consulted before major events were scheduled at the local schools. No school would schedule any event on a Wednesday night. They would not want to conflict with church and it’s activities.

As our culture has evolved so have our churches and our pastors. No longer is the church the center of community activities, even in smaller and rural communities. Sports, school, band, dance, piano lessons and other activities take our children away in so many directions that parents meet themselves coming and going. Church has taken a second or third priority in our scheduling. Boy Scout camp outs, soccer tournaments, band competitions, choir concerts and competitions all come before church.

Pastors have become less and less relevant in many communities. Churches have decreased in size. The impact of the pastor has also decreased in many cases. In order to change that trend a pastor has to involve himself and immerse himself in the community. There are community activities that he must attend to become a part of the community. There are counseling needs that fall to the pastors ledger of responsibilities. He still performs marriages and funerals and many times these are for people that do not attend his church. He visits the hospitals and with congregations growing older it’s a larger and larger part of his responsibility. The pastor visits shut ins, visitors to the church, the un-churched and others that request or need his time. Pastors have committee responsibilities in order to exert his leadership within the church. It is a full time job whether he is paid as a full time pastor or not.

So, what is a Bi-Vocational pastor and how does it fit into the traditional model we have thought of for the pastor? The Bi-Vocational pastor is a pastor doing all of the things any other pastor does but with less time. This pastor is forced to spend more time away from their family than they would like, more time out at night than is advantageous and often times more time away from work doing things for the church using their vacation time than would be healthy.

And, most Bi-Vocational pastors don’t complain. They don’t complain because they are called to the ministry. They don’t complain because they know these small churches couldn’t afford to pay a pastor a livable wage. These churches are blessed to have someone of the caliber of their Bi-Vocational pastor and they know it.

Bi-Vocational pastors fill nearly every role there is in the pastoral leadership realm. They are Senior Pastors, Music Pastors, Youth Pastors, Education Pastors, Family Pastors, Discipleship Pastors, Evangelism Pastors and probably more than this. And, thank God for these pastors and their commitment to ministry.

Many Bi-Vocational pastors are professionals such as teachers, managers, business leaders, or sales professionals. Others are construction workers, school bus drivers or clerks. In some cases they own their own businesses but in all cases they work at what they do to earn their pay checks so they can serve as a pastor of a church.

If you have a Bi-Vocational pastor count yourself blessed. And, be sure and thank them for their commitment to the Lord and to the church.
