After her passing in 2012, her longtime partner Tam O’Shaughnessy came forward about their 27-year long relationship, making Sally the first known LGBTQ+ astronaut. In 2001, she founded Sally Ride Science, an organization that still exists today that works to increase interest and literacy in STEM for girls. Sally also became the Director of the California Space Institute. ![]() She went on to ride in several other space missions, spending a total of 343 hours in space, and left NASA in 1987.Īfter leaving NASA, Sally conducted research for universities such as Stanford and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), going on to become a Professor of Physics at UCSD. ![]() She was also the youngest NASA astronaut in space. In 1983, the Space Shuttle she worked on, Challenger, lifted off, making her the first American woman in space. In 1982, Sally was selected to be a crewmember of NASA’s seventh Space Shuttle mission, mission STS-7, after serving as a ground communicator for missions STS-2 and STS-3. She made it through to the Finalist category and completed her training in 1979, making her eligible for spaceflight. In 1977, Sally spotted a news article about NASA recruiting women for astronaut training and applied. Sally continued her studies at Stanford, earning a Master of Science in Physics in 1975 and her PhD in 1978. She eventually decided that professional tennis wasn’t for her and made a final transfer to Stanford University, where she graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics and a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. While at UCLA she studied Shakespeare and quantum mechanics, and she was the only woman majoring in physics. Biography Sally Kristen Ride was born on 26 May, 1951 in suburban Encino, Los Angeles, California. She flew two Space Shuttle flights, and later became a champion for science education and a role model for generations. Sally began her studies at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania before transferring to The University of California, Los Angeles to pursue a career as a professional tennis player. Sally Ride was the first American woman in space in 1983 on space shuttle Challenger and was a former NASA Astronaut. Sally was born on May 26th, 1951, in Los Angeles, California, and attended three colleges in her undergraduate career. ![]() She is also the first known LGBTQ+ astronaut. Sally Ride is most well known for being the first the first woman-identifying NASA Astronaut and the first American woman in space (and the third woman in space globally). June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and to celebrate today we are highlighting an LGBTQ+ trailblazer, Sally Ride! ![]() Hockey is noisy both on and off the ice, which can mask one or two unruly fans. "Baseball is not like hockey," Stoakley says (he mixes those games as well). Mixers have to quickly fade him out so he doesn't overwhelm the sound. Sometimes that means noticing that a drunk guy is shouting into one of your mics. Translating the crowd's roar is harder than it might seem. From those, he composes the ambient sound that most of us take for granted. "I have a series of six microphones that I use to pick up crowd noise," Stoakley says. 4) A great mix captures the crowd - but not the drunk fan swearing You end up with sound like this, from an epic shot in the 2014 Grand Slam of Curling:īut some of the most important sounds aren't from the players at all. In a featured game, mixers will put a mic on every team member and mix that in with the game's announcers. Players' grunts, chants, and shouts are a huge part of the broadcast mix. In curling, a huge sport in Canada, the expectations for hearing players are a lot different. But if they're celebrating, he'll throw in some of their cheers. If somebody's made a bad play, Stoakley might not track the audio for a player who's upset (and likely to curse). The players are a wild card that mixers like Stoakley need to interpret on the fly. And when it comes to players, that requires discretion. That arsenal of microphones gives the team a veritable soundscape of gameplay to select from. I might put mics on cameras that can get into the dugouts." ![]() ![]() "I have two microphones in the bullpens, so you'll hear the pitcher and catcher's mitts. "I have a parabolic dish at first base and third base for pick-off mics," Stoakley says. 3) Each key sound needs its own special mic That sound - which defines a baseball game for the home viewer - can vary wildly by A1 and by the mic type used by the stadium. "My mix tends to be a little sharper, and when you hit a ball on a bat, you have a deeper sound, and that's characteristic of the dish with the lav." "You want to hear that ball," Stoakley says. Imagine a tiny mic in a handheld satellite dish, and you get the idea. Stoakley uses two parabolic dishes with lavalier mics that, together, mix for stereo sound (you can read more about them here). It takes more than luck to get a sound like that. These two logos hide the mics that capture home runs. Those birds hide the microphones Stoakley uses to record the sound for home games: Look at the two square Blue Jay images in the photo below. The sound of a baseball bat cracking a home run is instantly recognizable, but for home viewers, that's only because of a careful audio mix. 2) Hidden mics capture home plate excitement Though audio mixers might need to improvise more at other venues, big stadiums are made for mixing a broadcast as easily as possible. As Stoakley patches in, his assistants are busy placing the TV station's mics on the field, which will stay there during a home series.Ī large stadium like the Rogers Centre (where the Blue Jays play) has an audio and visual system built into it, plus a circulatory system for TV. Stoakley runs audio lines from the TV truck to the "patch room," which serves as a clearinghouse for connections to the stadium's audio lines. They'll show up at 1 for a 7 pm game, since they have a lot of work to do. When the TV truck arrives, he and his assistants get to work. He's worked a lot of them this year, and as an "A1," he leads their sound mixing. Stoakley walked me through a typical Blue Jays game. He was nice enough to guide me through how he helps sports sound amazing, answering some questions I'd never thought to ask before: How do they keep the crowd from cursing into the microphones? What makes a baseball bat sound so good? And what's it really like making all that noise into an incredible show? 1) Mixers show up six hours before game time Related 7 things you never knew about being a sports camera operator

A century has passed since the fall of the Edoran Empire at the hands of an unprecedented plague that swept the nation. It wipes off easily with a towel and you can see where the ball struck the club face. QUICK TIP: If you want to a relatively inexpensive and pretty easy way to work on your contact, practice on the driving range with a little foot powder spray. That means the average amateur could pick up over 30 yards simply from more consistent strikes. If the average amateur had the same 2.62 yards/mph driving efficiency as the average PGA TOUR player, he would average 245 yards/drive instead of only 214 yards/drive. Here’s what a tour player’s striking pattern looked like after about 10 shots.Ĭompare that to the impact dispersion after only 5 shots from the 15-handicap golfer he tested.Īs you can see, striking the ball consistently solid will help get you more distance out of your club head speed and improve your driving efficiency. Tom Stickney has done some impact testing for GolfWRX. If you think about it, this makes sense because professionals hit the ball more consistently around the sweet spot. This is much better than the average 14-15 –handicap golfer who comes in at 2.29 yards/drive. YearĪs you can see at the end of the 2021-2022 PGA TOUR season, the tour average runs about 114.60 mph and they hit about 299.8 yards/drive, which means their driving efficiency is about 2.62 yards/drive. Since 2007, the PGA TOUR has been tracking golf swing speeds of all of its players, also using Trackman®. How Fast Is A Tour Player’s Average Golf Swing Speed? Some women we’ve seen are in the mid to high 40s. ![]() We estimate the average amateur women run in the region of 78 mph and 167-yard drives. That makes the average male amateur driving efficiency to be 2.29 yards per mph of club head speed. Golf Handicap and Information Network (GHIN) shows similar numbers of 15.3 handicap in 2003 and 14.3 handicap in 2012.įor these average male golfers, Trackman® statistics report the average club head speed at this 14-15-handicap level is about 93.4 mph…yielding an average total distance of 214 yards per drive. Regarding male amateurs, since 2005, the United States Golf Association (USGA) reports that the average handicap has been between 14 and 15. How Fast Is An Amateur’s Average Golf Swing Speed? Let’s drill down and take a look at some other club head speed numbers. So, basically, although swing technique, ball striking, and equipment fitting are all important to distance and scoring…simply put, if you want to be a longer or better player or both, you must also have more swing speed. Trackman® research also shows that there is a direct correlation between your club head speed and your handicap (and thus scoring). ![]() You can see this in 2017-2019 Arccos data published by MyGolfSpy in 2020 that shows the difference in driving distance by handicap group. Not only does more swing speed help you hit the ball farther, research shows there is a direct correlation between your driving distance (and club head speed) and handicap (and thus scoring). Here’s a little more detail to illustrate the correlation between driving distance and swing speed. Take a look at this 2017 chart of the average swing speeds for various categories of golfers.Īs I’m sure you can imagine, the World Championship Record for club head speed of 157 mph by Mitch Grassing in 2017 would hit the ball much farther than if he had the swing speeds of the PGA TOUR or LPGA TOUR players, who in turn would hit the ball much farther than amateurs with their given swing speeds. ![]() Simply put, the more swing speed you have, the farther you’ll hit the ball. Now, I’ll talk about swing speed training and how you can increase your swing speed later on down the page, but to start, let’s simply get started discussing swing speed in general.įirst of all, how important is your average golf swing speed? However, there’s another way to get more distance that most people, even tour players, don’t even know about (and how easy it is to do) or realize is possible… swing speed training. In recent years, the larger golfing public is also beginning to recognize the importance of getting custom fit for their driver in order to maximize driving distance and their overall average golf swing speed. When it comes to hitting the ball farther, a lot of golfers realize that technique is important. NOTE: This article is updated annually after the conclusion of each PGA TOUR, LPGA Tour and World Long Driver Championship season once all the data becomes available. ![]() He was the eighth of ten children in the Jackson family, a working-class African-American family living in a two-bedroom house on Jackson Street.

In 2009, while he was preparing for a series of comeback concerts, This Is It, Jackson died from an overdose of propofol administered by his personal physician, Conrad Murray, who was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter. The FBI found no evidence of criminal conduct by Jackson in either case. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further child sexual abuse allegations and several other charges. The lawsuit was settled out of civil court Jackson was not indicted due to lack of evidence. In 1993, he was accused of sexually abusing the child of a family friend. įrom the late 1980s, Jackson became a figure of controversy and speculation due to his changing appearance, relationships, behavior, and lifestyle. Thriller became the best-selling album of all time, while Bad was the first album to produce five US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. He helped propel the success of MTV and continued to innovate with videos for the albums Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991), HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I (1995), and Invincible (2001).
