Sports expert and founder of Incidental Contact™ Sports Seminars for Women offers counsel and advice to women looking to “get in the game” this football season.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2005 -- Paula Duffy, a lifelong sports enthusiast and founder of Incidental Contact (www.incidentalcontact.com), an innovative program featuring sports seminars for women -- taught by women -- is offering solace and concrete advice to Sunday sports widows looking to “get in the game” this football season. According to Duffy, the need to assist the “Sports Challenged” grew from her own observations that many women found professional sports hard to follow and lost the ability to connect through conversations in all walks of life especially at home. Duffy has developed a way to educate women about sports and the resulting power of that knowledge when translated into conversation in both social and business settings.
Just in time for football season, Duffy diagnoses the key signs that may qualify you as a sports widow and the five ways you can overcome it.
Signs You May be a Sports Widow:
1. While your guy is watching a game, he says “Uh huh” when you ask if it’s ok to have your parents come and stay for a couple of weeks.
2. All the televisions in your home are tuned to different stations with games on each.
3. In the middle of an argument, he throws his napkin down on the floor and says, “I want instant replay on that.”
4. You have to tell dinner guests, “He’s in the car listening to the game,” while serving your mother’s fricassee.
5. You buy an MP-3 player and learn to knit just so you can sit on the couch with him while he watches the game.
5 Ways to Change it All:
1. Think about sports as his love of competition; liken it to your competitive nature in other pursuits: your career, workouts or how much smarter your kid is than your sister’s.
2. Start with his favorite sport, learn some basics and surprise him when you call the play before the quarterback does.
3. Read a sports related article or column about a big sports story, why it matters to sports fans, and then mention it when you see your man.
4. Understand that knowing what to say while there’s action on the screen can bring a smile, comment or maybe more: that’s called Talking to the Screen™.
5. Get an oversized jersey of his favorite team and wear it with high heels and a smile. You’ll be teaching him to Talk to the Shirt™!

About Incidental Contact™ Sports Seminars
Incidental Contact™ Sports Seminars are taught in a fun and interactive way that women can understand and enjoy and result in women being able to utilize the company’s two main teaching tools: “Talk to the Screen™ “: breaking the ice by doing what comes naturally at games or sports bars and “Talk to the Shirt™”: knowing how to speak about the team or person featured on sports apparel. Through extensive research, Duffy found these to be very successful ways for women to step outside their normal boundaries and meet new people or connect with people they already know.
In addition to her sports seminars, Duffy’s acclaimed sports blog, “Your Daily Dose of Duffy,” and podcast can both be found on the company’s website at www.incidentalcontact.com and offer fans, both men and women, an innovative outlet to hear the latest in sports gossip, team stats, and player info from a woman’s point of view.
Paula Duffy and Incidental Contact have been featured on a number of media outlets including ESPN Radio, Sirius Satellite Radio’s “The Fellas,” Leeza Live, Doug Stephan’s nationally syndicated “Good Day,” ABC News, Fox News, the New York Post, the Rocky Mountain News and the Los Angeles Times among many other radio, television and print appearances.
