10 Ways To Frugally Save Money For College Tuition

By: Jeremy Smith

Saving money for college is getting more and more difficult as the prices of college tuition get higher and higher. While some students are given a free ride with an academic or athletic scholarship, others rely on their parents or grandparents to pay for college. For the rest, it is becoming a common occurrence for students to live at home with their parents for the first year while living frugally and trying to save up for the following semesters. While these students may save a lot of money, it is still possible to get private alternative loans to help cover the expense. Here are 10 ways to frugally save money for school and help to pay for room and board, books and tuition. 1. Save change in a bucket at the end of each day. Never take it out to spend. Roll the coins periodically with free wrappers from the bank. Do not use a coin conversion machine. It removes a small percentage. Every coin counts. 2. Enroll in a 529 tax deferment plan. The student may be able to shop at certain stores and use their coupons to save money. A percentage of the money will go into a college savings account. 3. Pick up a part-time job. Any earnings will be directly deposited into a special bank account used only for school. If the student already has one, this could be a second income set aside only for higher learning. 4. Spend less money on fun activities. Rather than going out bowling or to a movie, go to a free concert at the local park or go for a bike ride. Rather than going out with friends, invite them over instead. 5. Use coupons. Clip or download coupons on food, auto repair and restaurants. Do not spend more money to save more, simply spend less. 6. Remove a set amount of money from each paycheck. Have it direct-deposited into a special account. Some financial institutions offer college savings accounts. 7. Request money for college for birthdays and holiday gifts. 8. Hold a zero balance on all credit cards at the end of every month. Interest is not usually charged when the balance is paid in full. 9. Brew coffee at home. Buy a pound of coffee and package of coffee filters for the same price as two or three gourmet coffee shop lattes. 10. Refrain from eating meals out. Pack a bag lunch when possible and do not buy extras when eating in a restaurant.

Power Skating Training - Will it improve my game?

By: Paul Crowley

If you hear one name over and over again along with the term "power skating", it is most likely that of National Hockey League defenceman Paul Coffey. Because Coffey was able to utilize his full speed and power when he was on the ice, he became known as one of the fastest defencemen to ever grace the ice in the game of hockey. Coffey isn’t the only player to use his natural ability to its fullest advantage, however; names like Pavel Bure, Teemu Selanne, and others will also be associated with the Leagues’ speediest skaters for some time to come.

The key with these players is in part their natural gifts in terms of athleticism, but in order to really achieve their pinnacle, they had to understand how to bring their natural skill into play. The way that they did so was to fully examine, probably always with the help of others, their skating techniques and the way in which they could go from one speed to the next. In essence, this was power skating, and today players wonder if the focus put on power skating will allow them to improve their games.

The answer to that question is a most definite yes. Adding that extra power to your skating stride will mean that you have a lot more edge in terms of speed and control, not to mention the power that you can put behind a shot. Power skating training focuses on the two areas that will most affect your skating abilities, your edge control and your knee bend.

The knee bend is the most important focus in any power skating training, as it is the bend of the knee that will determine all other important skating factors. Most people realize this instinctively, but power skating training will help players to really understand how they can make sure to bend their knees as deeply as possible while concentrating on other facets of their game.

The second aspect of power skating training, edge control, concentrates on having the player feel the edge of their skate almost as if it were an extension of their body. Edge control means understanding how your ankles are working in relation to your knees and the rest of your leg that is putting the power into your skate. Again, angle is of the utmost importance, so power skating will focus the individual player on getting the optimum edge on their skates.

Power skating training is a must for any hockey player wishing to take their game to the next level, just by improving their skating technique.
