...One example of my own behavior was learning how to kick a corner kick in soccer when I was younger. My dad decided to help me do this, and facilitated the consequences that resulted in this behavior. When I would kick the ball well, I would receive praise from my dad. This reinforcer increased the likelihood that I would engage in that behavior of kicking the ball well in the future. When I would kick the ball and mess up, I would feel shameful. Each time I kicked the ball well, I would avoid that shame, and therefore negatively reinforced kicking the ball well. Successive approximations were reinforced while shaping this behavior. I started off just kicking the ball off the ground, which received positive reinforcement (praise) from my dad....

...Soccer It is also known as associative football. Soccer is so popular and is played in close to 200 countries. It is said to have originated in England in the nineteenth century. This game is played between two teams of eleven players. It is played on a rectangular field. The main objective of this game is to ensure that the spherical ball gets to the opposing goal. The goalkeepers are the only players that are allowed to touch the ball with their hands during play time. Each team has a single goalkeeper who is positioned at the goal post. Soccer is played within 90 minutes that is divided into two halves. Each half has 45minutes. Soccer is governed by the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA). FIFA organizes the games for both men and women after every four years. FIFA has rules on how the field should be marked and its size. Here are some of the rules: It must be rectangular and between 50-100yards and 100-130 yards. The goal of the field is 8 feet high and 24 feet wide.

...Kellis, E., & Katis, A. (2007). Biomechanical Characteristics and Determinants of Instep Soccer Kick. Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 6, 154-165. The purpose of this review in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine was to examine the latest research findings on biomechanics of soccer kick performance and identify weaknesses of present research which justify further research in the future. A soccer kick is regarded as motions of the lower limb sections of the player’s dominant kicking leg. Angular velocity is maximized first by the thigh, then through the leg limb, and finally by the foot. This is accomplished by both segmental and joint movements on multiple surfaces. During the backswing, the thigh reduces speed mainly due...

...SOCCER In the book ‘Football’ written by Richard Giulianotti, soccer (Also known as football around the world) is acknowledged around the world to be the most popular sport. To play soccer you must get the ball into the goal post passing the keeper without using your hands, they are located on both sides of the field. The team with the most points wins the game. Soccer has its own organisation that promotes the game and holds tournaments. The organisation is known as FIFA (Federation de Football Association) which was founded in 1904. FIFA are known for their tournaments, the World Cup and the Women’s World Cup. How To Play Step 1. Feet and Eye Coordination To be able to play this game you are required to keep an eye on the ball and to kick it with your feet. It is known that vision can help control the movement of the foot. Perfection of this skill allows intercepting the ball with ease and to handle the ball while keeping his/her head up. Step 2. Dribbling Dribbling is kicking and controlling the ball while in motion. To dribble you must kick the ball hard enough so it goes forward, but light enough to keep it within reach of your feet. Step 3. Passing Passing is kicking the ball to a team member allowing them to be able to assist you in winning the game. It helps to watch where your team members are so you can assume where they will be running to. By doing so, this allows you to kick the ball ahead of your teammate so they can run to the ball. Step 4. Shooting/Scoring ...

...BIOMECHANICS The term biomechanics means the study of the structure and function of biological systems using the methods of mechanics. Biomechanics studies the process of kinematics and used in the study of sports actions, such as the motion of throwing a baseball. Why do some golfers slice the ball? How can workers avoid developing low back pain? What cues can a physical education teacher provide to help students learn the underhand volleyball serve? Why do some elderly individuals tend to fall? We have all admired the fluid, graceful movements of highly skilled performers in various sports. We have also observed the awkward first steps of a young child, the slow progress of an injured person with a walking cast, and the hesitant, uneven gait of an elderly person using a cane. Virtually every activity class includes a student who seems to acquire new skills with utmost ease and a student who trips when executing a jump or misses the ball when attempting to catch, strike, or serve. What enables some individuals to execute complex movements so easily, while others appear to have difficulty with relatively simple movement skills? Although the answers to these questions may be rooted in physiological, psychological, or sociological issues, the problems identified are all biomechanical in nature. This book will provide a foundation for identifying, analyzing, and solving problems related to the biomechanics of human movement. Definition of Biomechanics The term biomechanics combines...

...Positions on the Soccer Field There are 11 positions on the soccer field, but they always fall into four broad categories. Even in smaller games, the number of players in each category may change, but by and large, the positions do not. The Goalkeeper The goalkeeper is the only player allowed to use his hands and that can only occur within the confines of the penalty area. There are never more that two goalkeepers on the field at any time — one on each team. The goalkeeper’s uniform is different from the rest of his team’s to make it obvious which player may use his hands. The jersey, often with long sleeves, is colored to clash with the others. And since the 1970s, goalkeepers have worn gloves to both protect their hands and enhance their grip on the ball. Some of the best goalkeepers in the world are Gianluigi Buffon of Italy and Iker Casillas of Spain. The Defenders A defender’s primary duty is to win back the ball from the opposition and prevent them from scoring. Teams play with anywhere from three to five at the back and each member of the defense tends to have a different, yet equally important duty. The defenders stationed in the center of the back line (known as central defenders or center backs) tend to be some of the taller and stronger members of the team since they so frequently have to win the ball in the air. They go forward very little, except on set pieces, and hold a position of great responsibility. The defenders on the flanks (known as wingbacks...

...Professor PHYS 2010 October 21, 2014 Physics in Our Daily Activities Physics is a very important science that can almost be found anywhere in our lives. Many people find this statement hard to believe because they are not able to see the basic aspects of physics all around them. I personally think that unless the person is a physicist or at least someone who had some physics classes, chances are this person or someone is not going to understand how much physics affects our daily life. The significant effect of physics on us today can be easily seen when looking at our reliance on modern technology. Many of the technologies that are changing the world around us are based on physics principles. Physics is more than a subject we study in class, it is also a powerful tool that can help us to gain a better understanding of the everyday world. Physics can be seen in a lot of simple games that we play all the time. One of my favorite games that I almost play on a daily basis is pool. The physics associated with pool is mainly about the collisions between the pool balls. When two pool balls hit each other or collide the collision between them is known to be an elastic collision. According to Billiards in the Classroom, "elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision." Therefore, we can assume that the collisions that happens...

...Strategic interaction in sports Penatly kicks in soccer This short paper will explain how penalty kicks in soccer can be a example of strategic interaction. Strategic interaction[1] is a term that is broadly used to identify a process that seeks to involve several parties in achieving a common goal, relying heavily on effective communication to make progress in pursuing that goal. Everyday, people interact between each other and most of the time when people make a decision they think about the others and how they can react. Some decisions that one take depends sometimes on the choice of others. This paper is going to link social interaction with an economic principle. Soccer being a low-scoring game, matches often finish on a draw and need to be decided by penalties. In soccer, penalty kicks put the goal keeper against a striker in a tough mental contest. Indeed, it takes less than a half second for the ball to touch the net unless the goalkeeper succeed in intercepting it which is definitely not enough time for the goalkeeper to analyze the trajectory of the ball. He must guess where the striker will shoot unless he does not have any chances. Both striker and keeper must make delicate decisions. A left-footed strike will make a better shot to the left. The keeper will anticipate the shot and the striker would sometimes shot to the right because a even a weaker shot is better where the keeper does not stand. Same if the striker decide to toss a coin, the keeper would...

Many players on our team had never played in an athletic event at the state level. This was the first time in our school history soccer made the State Tournament. Our inexperience worried me. I focused on doing my job without mistakes. I prayed that our team would play an excellent game as our bus pulled into Cownie Soccer Complex. Warmups went by faster than they ever had. When the referee blew the whistle my panic faded. I observed from my defensive position as our offense quickly scored goal after goal. I quickly realized that our opponent was not on our level.
