THERE'S A star athlete in
all of us. Find the sport hero
in yourself by joining a team,
pursuing a solo sport, active-
ly supervising a game on tele-
vision or simply wearing
your favorite team on a jer-
sey, and you’l! be that much
closer to the Big Leagues.

{t's important to wear the right
“uniform™ when playing to feel like

“a deader on the court, field or rink.

_Your sports wardrobe should reflect
the same energy and confidence you
bring to the game.

Apart’ from the obvious essen-
tials, (footwear and equipment) can
two pieces of jersey impart extraor-
dinary powers?

' Ask any pro athlete what his or

her favorite clothes are and usually |

he/she will say their uniform. There
is a physical charge that comes with
putting on a uniform or gear that is
unlike other clothing. When they
slip into that gear, there's work to be
done. |

_Whether your interest lies in

"hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer

~ or lower-profile, spectator sports
such as. skating, swimming and
track, you can get geared up at Time
Out Sports in Lynn Valley Centre.

Sports clothing is a timely
Christmas gift considering that pro
sports is currently big news. If it's
not the Americanization of the CFL,
the NHL lockout now in its ninth
week or the NBA taken seriously
north of the border, it's Gretzky's
newsworthy numbers (his record-
breaking 802 NHL goals and his
$23.5 million a year earnings) and

the renewal of old-time hockey
through new books released on
Gordie Howe and Jean Beliveau.

Combine a gift of a favorite
hockey team jersey along with a
new hockey book, a basketball
slipped into a gift of court athletic
shoes or a pair of skates along with
an autographed picture of a sports
idol.
