Ever wonder how when you walk through the mall you see the same trend everywhere? You walk into Store A and see a bright orange colored crop pant. Then you walk into Store B and you the same bright orange crop pant but with a different brand name on it. The trend might be the same, but the interpretation of color, expression in fit and details will be subtly different. Well chances are these brands were looking at a similar trends snapshot forecasted by a trend forecasting company. Here is a snapshot of trends you will be seeing in stores in the coming seasons.

UFC 129 is an Ultimate Fighting Championship event scheduled to take place on April 30, 2011. The event features the welterweight championship bout between Georges St. Pierre vs. Jake Shields. UFC 129 is expected to be the largest event in UFC history with all 55,000 tickets being sold out and bringing in $11 million in gate revenue. Now, UFC may or may not be your cup of tea but it’s rise in popularity and growth from near obscurity is remarkable. UFC programming is now shown in 130 countries worldwide.

Georges St. Pierre on improvement. “I always train with better wrestlers than me, better boxers than me, better jujitsu guys than me… When you train with people who are better than you, it keeps challenging you. By challenging me it makes me better. It makes you better develop your skills than someone who is always training with the same people over and over again. I have a very good team.”
In the feel good movie “The Mighty Ducks” coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) directs his team to form the ‘flying V’ resulting in a ducks victory. It’s cheesy but the truth. A unified team that works together towards the same goal is tough to beat.
