...The purpose of this task is to make a recommendation to the touch football coach of the position that I am most suited to. It will state the most important fitness components for each of the positions and will include results of the class fitness component testing and a game analysis to support the recommendation. As a touch player myself I believe that the following positions require the stated components, however, the class game analysis differs. The mid require speed to gain as much ground from either a ruck or breakthrough and catch the defenders offside. Coordination and agility are important to catch and pass the ball while running and changing direction sharply. Power is used in a simple tactic, which is to drive or accelerate to gain...

...are three areas that the players association did not agree with the expenses allocated by the owners of the team. These areas are the Roster depreciation, the player’s compensation and related-party operations (specially the stadium costs). In the case of the Roaster depreciation, the owners consider a depreciation of the amount the roaster was worth at the time of purchase, they spread the depreciation linearly over six years with a value of two million per year. However, this value is not a fix value. The players feel that if anything the roster can appreciate with experience. This value should not be included because the roaster can appreciate or depreciate over time with continues trades and scouting, or injures and retirements; the value is shown in the yearly roaster value (salaries). In terms of the deferred compensation, this should not be included also. Since the players are not being paid during the year and it can be proved that the owners are not setting this money aside either. These payments should be expense at the moment of payment to the player. Also for the signing bonuses, the owners are registering the expense as incurred. However the signing bonus should be amortized over the contract life of the player since they are providing benefits during their contracts. About the players that no longer on the current roster and are still being paid, the expense should be accounted for when it is paid, not a reserve since some players can be picked up by other...

...Managements Role in Players Being Violent Jennifer Grant BUS/ December 3, 2012 Dr. David Snow Managements Role in Players Being Violent When sports first started up they were meant to be something fun, to relieve stress, and teach youth about working hard, time management, teamwork, and to build character (Champion, Ruddell, & Thornton, 2012). Over the years, sports have gotten more and more competitive. Sports should have a positive impact on our community and serve as entertainment. If entertainment to our society is violence and causing harm to others then we are living in a messed up world. Management plays a major role in this violence by either being to tranquil in how they handle violence or even if they are encouraging the violence. When I was growing up the sports I participated in taught me about sportsmanship, character, being a good loser and winner, showing respect to others, teamwork, hard work, time management, social skills and more. My coaches played a big part in that, they made sure that we played fairly, and always played with sportsmanship. The coaches that I played under were great role models and winning did not mean anything if we didn’t do it the right way. In high school, we made it to the final four twice, won district all four years, were regional runner-ups twice and won regionals twice. We were very successful and at no point was violence being encouraged, and if there was any bad sportsmanship or violence...

...the GPS system (1.Catapult Sports, 2015) each player uses. Before it was simply used to calculate your total distance covered but due to advancements in the technology it has become vastly more important and provides greater influence. Today the GPS systems each player wears, will calculate not just distance, but will also record top speeds in metres per second, as well as provide a breakdown of what distances was covered at top speed. This data then enables coaches a very beneficial analysis tool as they can see what players are their work, slacking off, or going over and beyond their duty. Another addition of the updates GPS systems is that they include a gyroscope, accelerometer. Which together, they both combine and take into account the total impacts ( tackle, carry, ruck ) and the force/intensity of each impact that each player endures throughout the game. With these stats now readily available Munster Rugby are making great progress for strength and conditioning, but more importantly for injury management. The S&C staff have a training plan for each session, as it is their job to make sure each athlete is in pristine condition to perform on match day. The GPS provide live “real-time” feedback which is monitored during each training session so they know when they need to cut a session or even make it easier to allow players to feel fresh the next day. The physio department find the new GPS extremely helpful, as players wear it during training, and the device monitors...

...start out in an abandoned base camp in a wasteland to mix things up. One adventure I was in had an abandoned mansion, so based on my current setting, which was desert like; I chose to lead the party into a temple. Everything in the temple was made up as the story went along, which lead to some momentary pauses in the storytelling. B. II. Worked Well ii. I thought the adventure in general worked out pretty well. I’m very satisfied with the amount of pleasure gotten from the temple. Admittedly, the players most likely remembered more aspects of the temple than I did at times. Besides the “creative gaps” I created, I did not see any noticeable declinations of interest during the adventure. I did notice that the players did enjoy the RPG elements I added to the adventure. I purposely intended and suggested more use of the HP in the game. I was actually hoping for the incapacitation of a player, but I am satisfied that I managed to get a player to 2HP. III. Worked Poorly iii. The gaps were probably the poorest aspect of the game. I did not know how to plan the game out. I attempted to plan the game out, but I was not too sure what was required. I did not want to research it either because I felt that it would influence the game to a degree that would lead to stealing thoughts. Another poor aspect was mapping the game. While telling the story, I had a pretty good idea as to how I wanted to map the game. But while I was telling it, I had to draw...

...The 90-minute Fever!!! With the football fever increasing the temperatures all around the world and with only Messi, Ronaldo and Neymar on everybody’s mind, it shows how widely the sport has been accepted and celebrated. It can be called a “Global Religion”! The 32 best teams in the world fought it out for the best spot, 32 countries pinned their hopes on the national squad, it was a proud moment for every single member in that squad to be in his national colours. Every player came with a dream of being the man who can help his team win the World Cup. It all starts with the referee’s whistle, the next 90 minutes keeps the whole world gripping to their television sets irrespective of whether their homeland is playing or they are just supporting a nation, of which their favourite player, is a part. The football enthusiasts and pundits begin their analysis and opinions with the whistle. While the players are physically stressed out after every single practice session, the coaches are mentally exhausted with their minds, busy, every minute, thinking about how he can handle every single opponent. The amount of thinking that a coach puts in into a game is mesmerising. Whether he has to be defensive and capitalise only on counter attacks leaving his opponent short of people at the back or if he should start pressing from the first minute. If he should work his way through central midfield with the best of his experience in 4-1-2-12 formation or if his team should move...

...League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena where players control a "champion"[6] in order to be matched in a short PvP battle or bot game. As of February 27, 2014, there are 118 different Champions from which to choose. Players gain levels from killing the opposing team's Champions, controlled by other players or bots, and minions that regularly spawn and attack the other team's turrets, minions, and champions. In the classic game mode, the map is typically divided into "lanes", which are paths that spawned minions take, the "jungle", an area between lanes where neutral monsters spawn, and "bases", where players spawn and can purchase items. The primary map, Summoner's Rift, features three lanes, commonly referred to as top lane, where bruisers (partially damage, partially tanky) and tank type champions tend to go. Mid lane, where assassins and burst damage carries tend to go, and bot lane, where the ranged DPS (damage per second) carries and their supports tend to go. The jungle is sometimes considered a lane, where an assassin or tank champion tends to roam in order to collect buffs and assist in the other lanes freely. The player earns a small amount of gold every second passively, but can earn more by getting the last hit on minions, destroying enemy towers (referred to as turrets) that guard the lanes, neutral monsters located in the jungle, and killing enemy champions. With this gold, users can buy a variety of items to strengthen their champion for the duration...

...that successful teams utilised longer possessions than unsuccessful teams in Euro 2000 Jones et al. (2004) showed that successful teams in the English Premier league typically had longer possessions than unsuccessful teams. Incorrect passing technique creates turnovers in possession allows the other team to attack and creates pressure on the team. Decision making The importance of decision making is highlighted by (McGreskin) the thing that separates the best from the rest, is that the best players consistently make better decisions while under pressure. Decision making is quite simply, the process to find the optimum pass, whether that be a 40 yard switch of play to attack from the other side (where the space is) or passing the ball into the strikers feet to play a one-two or allow him to turn and run at the oppositions defence, decision making is a complex process (the best players know what they are going to do before) the process involved highlighting the number of players where the pass is intended for, both the opposition and your own team, as well as the obstacles in the way of the pass, the amount of pressure on yourself to release the ball. Football compared to other sports is an open continuous game; it is ever-changing which means that making decisions quickly is important before the scenario changes again. Without correct decision making they are more likely to panic and therefore concede possession. In football balance is significant...

That was the philosophy." (krol) " It was about making space, coming into space, and organizing space-like architecture on the football pitch. "(barry hulshoff) "My idol, my father was Rinus Michels, who was runner-up with Holland in 1974 and the 1988 European champions. It is the same way in Munich.

...Using the information in the MGM Players Club dataset, discuss the differences in the various segments of players at the MGM Grand. Some hints for potential analyses: a. Begin by classifying customers according to their attractiveness from a static point of view (current profitability). Measure the concentration of profits. b. Look at some aspects of behavior of the different groups (Note: to achieve consistency in the class discussion, please use as cut-off points total theoretical win of $500, $10,000 and $100,000): i. Number of trips, ii. Trip length, iii. Whether they play in tables or slots, iv. Loyalty to a certain property c. Expand your study by measuring attractiveness from a dynamic point of view (current and future profitability). The three-year span of the databases is insufficient for a rigorous lifetime value analysis but adequate for a discussion of basic concepts and tools used to assess customer attractiveness. For instance, what player characteristics in 2002 increase the likelihood that a player will come back in 2004? Question 2 How does the MGM Grand derive value from its Players Club program and its player information systems? Question 3 Do you think it is appropriate for hosts from any property to have access to the entire profile of a specific customer, regardless or where that customer plays or stays? Why? If you think that hosts from a certain property should have access to the information on customers’ play in their property, do you...

...Evaluating Football Players Essay by D. Cummings It may seem overly simplified and obvious to state that player evaluation is critical in generating success and wins on the football field. A coach may have the greatest “system” and an amazing game plan laid out but, without the right players in the right positions the only thing a coach will collect are losses. This is true of coaching recreational and youth football through the professional ranks. Player evaluation is not only about addressing the physical skills needed for specific positions but, it is also about plugging in the right players who posses the temperament and character to lead the team in all critical situations on the field. Coach Trimble has a very encompassing player evaluation process that fits his program and situation. His evaluation cycle is a constant year round model that allows him to track his players over long periods of time. Even with that being the case, many of his methods can be translated to youth football, middle school/ junior high school , and smaller high school programs. Coach Trimble uses off season conditioning routines, preseason, practice, and game situations to evaluate his players as well as his players evaluating themselves to make sure they are properly used on the field. Many of these evaluation techniques can be used, with some adjustments, just as effectively at lower levels of competition as they are for larger programs like the one at Jenks High School. ...
