since electricity is in high demand and mechanical energy is abundant. There are already train stations that use passengers' footsteps to power the ticket gates and displays and a dance club where piezoelectricity helps power the lights. Could basketball players running back and forth power the scoreboard?

Push it, now! If they can't muscle up and over a final cliff they'll find themselves tumbling down the scoreboard. And we're so close to the end of this day, I can feel it. And now all of a sudden we're not moving and yesterday we didn't get any points.

It doesn't matter what the scoreboard says. I'm always having fun, talking to other guys. They even come to first base and ask me about hitting. I try to help them out as much as I can in the 30 seconds before the pitcher throws the next pitch. That's me. I don't think I will ever change that.

American Journalist
I don't begrudge a coach for trying to get all that he or she can. I don't resent a school feeling it needs to pay to keep top talent. I'm just afraid to think where all of this will end up because the overall impact seems to be stretching far beyond the scoreboard.
Quote examples
Gail Devers
American Athlete
A lot of times when I ran, to be honest, I didn't know where I was in the race. So I always was looking up at the scoreboard to say, 'Just call my name to see where I am,' because I tried to have such tunnel vision not to distract myself.
