...substantial crowds and a lot of revenue. Considering the amount of guests that come to Topgolf, there are many associates working to ensure a stress free and fun time. Many people think that they have to be an avid golfer in order to enjoy Topgolf. However, the atmosphere reveals a fun time for people of all ages to golf, eat, and drink. The first person a guest sees when walking in the doors of Topgolf is the lobby associate. They are there to greet and guide guests to where they need to be. This could be towards the let’s play desk or concierge desk. Let’s Play creates player cards for every guest wanting to play Topgolf and loads money to the player cards. As customers wait in the long agonizing line to get a player card, many will become interested in the retail placed right beside the line. From women’s tank tops to baby onesies, there is something for everyone. Strategically, this is very smart for Topgolf because this is where guests will get bored and want to look at something, increasing sales. If the guest already has a player card, the associate will point them towards the concierge desk that way they can receive their bay, the spot where the guest plays golf. The lobby includes dim lights and a lot of voices coming from every direction. Although it may seem to be ludicrous, the associates keep the area well organized. Sometimes, it may be difficult to roam around the lobby of Topgolf, but with the amount of associates, they will not allow one to get confused or overwhelmed...

...God grant me wisdom, to tell a strike from a ball, to know where to throw and never to fall. Keep me always in the base line, running straight and true and I'll look for your sign, to stretch one into two. God give me vision, to see every pitch, so if a player needs help, then I will see which. Let me always hustle, so I'll be at my best and take pride in myself, in sports and the rest. God be my strength, when I throw the ball when I'm far from home plate, or against a wall. So I never miss a base, please guide my feet, bring me home safely, so my job is complete. When I help younger players, let me always give praise, so they'll see you in me, in all of my ways. God please guide our coach, to be fair and smart, to teach us to be good, let it come from his heart. Let me take a loss, just as well as a win, to do any less, is surely a sin. As long as I can play, let me make my parents proud, as proud as I am, when they yell MY name out loud. However my games end, let me always have fun and if Heaven has All Stars, I want to be one. When my games here are over and my seasons are done, let me play on your team. just like your son. Amen.

...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...

...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. ...

...Course Project: Leadership Review of Moneyball (2011) Introduction: Moneyball (2011) is a movie based on the truth story for Mr Billy Beane and his attempted to have the perfect team to achieve the baseball game win. Based on Moneyball: The art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis 2003. The lead actor in this movie is Brad Pitt (Billy Beane) and his assistant Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). This story changes a lot of concepts in management especially in the recruitment process. On this article I will write down the leadership skills that Billy Beane got it and also a brief talk about his personality. Leadership: * Negative: Introducing a new member in your team is a must, letting your team knows what you are planning to is a very must. As a leader you must make everyone of your team member on board so it will be easy for all to share common goals. Hiding team member activity or your strategy as a leader is mistake that you need as a leader. What we are facing in most of Saudis companies that we deal with new employees as they know the company inch by inch, while actually they don’t know anything. An orientation program is necessary tool for new joiner. In the movie Beane didn’t communicate the new strategy to his team. They have no idea what he is doing and why he is doing it. How can your employees help you if they don’t know what you are up to? Beane and Brand are trying to do one thing, and the rest of the recruiting team is trying to do something different. * Positive:...

...Introduction What is League of Legends? League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA). A MOBA is a genre of games that are strictly PvP or player vs. player which has strategic and teamwork based elements. MOBAs usually take place in an enclosed map or arena where teams battle for supremacy over objectives using an array of characters. Now enough about what is a MOBA. Let's talk about League of Legends. Body First I will explain the core concepts of a standard game of League of Legends. First you queue into matchmaking and once a game is found a lobby is put together in which the players are split into two teams of five and put into Champion Select where, as described, players start to select "Champions". "Champions" are characters that you play in the game that have 4 active abilities and a passive ability as well as different play styles. There are 6 main play styles or roles which include Tank, Fighter, Assassin, Mage, Marksman, and Support. There are also 4 positions that a Champion can fall into such as top lane, middle lane, bottom lane which consists of two champions, and jungle. After each player has selected a Champion the players are then transported to a magical arena called Summoner's Rift. Summoner's Rift consists of three lanes and a jungle as I previously stated. Top lane is usually played by Fighter or Tanks, Mid Lane has Assassins or Mages, Bot lane is a duo lane that has a pair played by a Marksman and a Support, and Jungle can be played...

...win a state championship. The team has the skills and also has many great athletes as well as other schools do. The thing that other schools have is strength and faster people on their team. I have come up with the greatest solution that will make Saline football players and fans go crazy. The plan will come into effect starting now. By starting the taking of the steroids now, the players will be ready go by next august in their first game. The summer conditionings for football and all the lifting they do just don’t seem to pay off when season comes. During the summer they lift really hard, run a lot, and players work on their skills. When it comes game time in August, Saline thinks they are a step ahead of the other team on the field, but when the opponent steps on the field Saline becomes scared. The players become scared because they are really small compared to the opponents. Therefore, the other team has an advantage because they are a lot stronger. Steroids are the answer for the Saline football program. The program will do a fundraising event in which the team will earn a lot of money that will pay for all the steroids. Every Saline football player in the high school will start to take these steroids. Every player will go to a workout before school and receive one shot of this powerful drug. This drug will...

...certain question that may be used to determine who has what card. Such questions include: Do you see two or more players whose cards sum to the same value?; How many 7s do you see?; or Of the four even numbers, how many different even numbers do you see?. Each player draws a question card until one has figured out what three cards they have attached to their head. I will use the process of elimination to determine which three cards I have. To determine which cards I possess, I need to look at my fellow players cards. I will first rely on Andy’s question card. He was asked if there are two or more players whose cards sum to the same value and he replied yes. I will add each of Belle’s cards together to get the sum and then I will add each of Carol’s cards to get the sum. After I determine each player’s card value, I will be able to tell which player’s cards have the same value. Next, I will use Belle’s question card. She was asked, “Of the five odd numbers, how many different Odd numbers do you see?” She replies, “All of them.” Belle only sees the odd cards, 1, 3, and 7 from Andy and Carol. Because of this, I can determine the first two cards that I have. To determine the last card, I will first find the sum of the two cards that I do know. Finding the sum will help to inform me if I am one the players that has cards containing the same value as the other player. Finally after finding the sum, I will take the two cards I know I have and subtract each from the sum. Doing so...
