(PRWEB) May 4, 2005 -- Internationally acclaimed sister sports team, The
Sport Mavericks, Ida Muorie and Eleanor Starks, will host a four part series
beginning May 10th - May 31st entitled "The Journey From High School To The
NFL."
According to Ida Muorie, "The making of an 'elite athlete' is
complex, and may be determined by a range of environmental, social, economic and
behavior factors. Many believe that genetic disposition to athleticism may play
a significant part in shaping the destiny of an athlete. Others think that
genetics alone is not enough to determine what type of athlete a child will
become. But, you can quantify it, and you can qualify it, but make no mistake
about it, it takes a back-up system of conditioning coaches, trainers,
nutritionist, advisers,a legal team and sheer determination to make it to the
NFL. Pre-draft activity is a big business. It is estimated that Agent may invest
somewheres between $10,000 - $25,000 on each prospect to get a competitive
edge."
