3-time World Cup soccer veteran Cobi Jones shared important tips and tricks for successful penalty kicks in soccer. He talked about how it is all mental and to keep the ball on the ground. Also how that as a coach you can help with penalty kicks. This is important to me because I am helping coach a soccer team this year. It is an 8u team that I am helping my friend out with. This video helps me because it gives me some tips and tricks to help coach the team.…
Soccer has become an important part of the culture in America. Recently, the Women’s National Soccer team even won one of the biggest honors possible, the World Cup. People play and watch soccer games all of the time and yet few people actually realize the physics that are involved in almost everything that they see or do. While there are multiple ways that physics is used in a soccer game, this paper explores three parts and the physics that are involved in each one. The three parts that are going to be discussed are passing, heading, and throw-ins. These three can explain how physics can work from a soccer ball coming or going in each and every direction. Also, every part that is discussed uses different parts of the body. This can go to…
Being a member of the Mighty Cougar basketball team, there were a couple of basic skills I needed to know, such as passing, dribbling and shooting the ball. I wanted to show my teammates and coaches that I could bring the ball down the court and successfully execute a play. As a Point guard, it was my job to take the ball down the court, and if I couldn’t do that then I had no place on the team. During game situations where the score is close, the other team may try and pressure the ball handler up the court to attempt and force a turnover. So with the help of the coach I learned to keep my head up, make short crisp passes and to keep the ball close to my side when dribbling. During our game against Brandies I was able to do just that. We were up by 2 with 30 seconds left and Brandies had their full court press in full swing. It was my duty to handle the ball down the court and using the…
Soccer or football is a sport that is played primarily with the players’ feet with the exception of the goalkeeper who can use their hands. The first game of soccer can be found back in 1858 in Melbourne Australia. Soccer is a tough sport to play you have to know the history and rules of it and have the know how to play.…
I am not a professional but I know a few tricks that I can teach a friend who wants to learn. The best place to start is balance, figuring one uses his feet to play, you have to maintain ball control without slipping up and falling. In addition, how one kicks the ball, you never toe kick the ball or it will end up flying over the goal post. One would have to kick the ball with the side of their foot to focus on ball curve, height, and control of where you want it to go. Lastly, your stamina needs to be on point since you would play for an enormous amount of minutes. Clearly, there is more to the sport, but if you practice these points, one could possibly be a great soccer…
Soccer is a sport that’s very challenging and during the course I’ve found physics can also be described as challenging. As far as I was concerned soccer and physics were both challenging and that was all they had in common, consequently upon researching them both this I found that I was wrong. For me this was nothing new because I’ve found that physics isn’t a subject that can be skimmed, but rather it has to be studied to the finest detail. Those small details if missed can make all your efforts worthless. Or on the positive side understanding those details can make your efforts worth it in the end. And in soccer if you understand the physics, which to most players would be considered as the small details, it pays off in the end. So really how does physics come into play with soccer?…
My topic is Rules Of Soccer . The three basic rules of soccer are having two teams, each team has eleven players, and kicking the ball with your feet. To begin, you have to have two teams. You need two teams so it’s not confusing on the field. Another reason why there are two teams because they play each other and there is a manager for each team. Next, each team has eleven players on the field. You have eleven players on the field so it’s fair and so there is enough players to play each position. Another reason why you have eleven players on the field so there isn’t too many or too little players on the field. Finally, you can only kick the ball with your feet so you can use all different parts of your feet, so there is no high kick, and…
Another step to learning to play soccer is having good ball control. In soccer, ball control is everything; you will never be a good soccer player if you do not learn to control the ball. Learning to control the ball will be one of the most difficult tasks you will encounter while learning to play soccer. It will also be time consuming, but you must be patient and dedicated because this is an arduous objective. When you are approaching this feat I recommend juggling the ball, which is maintaining the ball in the air for as long as possible. This exercise will help you trap the ball when you are in a game. For example, players sometimes kick the ball away from the danger zone, so if the ball goes to you, you must trap the ball. If you do not trap those balls in the air you will pretty much be the laughing…
Soccer is the most popular sport in the world with an estimated 200 million active players. The sport of soccer is performed by men, women, children and adults with different levels of expertise. The game is played on a rectangular field (100-110m by 65-75m) with a goal at each end. Each team has eleven field players including a goalie. The main objective of the game is to score by getting the ball into the opposing goal without using your hands.…
Dear, mr gorman I am going to talk about soccer's injuries and how to play soccer. Soccer is a sport where people get injured but not that much, soccer player die something time because they get hit super hard or they get a concussion. IN us there were 7 total deaths directly resulting (that is the injury was suffered as a result of play from high school soccer from 1982-2009 males. There 34 soccer player that dies every single year.Soccer players who frequently head butt the ball a commonly used tractic from passing or scoring in a game may be risking brian injury, memory loss, and impaired cognivite ability, according to a study published in the journal raidiology. The threshold varied from player to player but was generally in the range…
Have you ever wondered what it is like to begin playing a new sport? Starting to play soccer was a big challenge for me. One reason it was difficult was because I had not even kicked a ball since I played as a child. Secondly, I began as a freshman playing on a varsity team. Lastly, there was the struggle to find my position and work together with the team as a whole.…
Next, as a new coach, it is good to have some plays that are memorized when taking a head coaching position. Studying different offensive and defensive sets and breaking down what plays work against others is essential. This information can be found and explained in depth on the internet and in books. Another resource for studying offensive and defensive sets is just watching…
Weight and mass are key concepts. A ball that weighs more is harder to kick and a player that weighs more can kick harder. However a heavier player cannot run as long as a lighter player. And while a taller player can run further with the same number of strides, a shorter player may have better control over the ball because of his lower center of gravity. We have learnt that friction prevents a soccer ball from going forward forever when it is kicked and friction aids players to maintain control over the ball and their own movements. Gravity, another force that affects soccer can change how high or how low a ball goes. Momentum affects the distance a soccer ball travels and the movement of players. Velocity explains the way a soccer ball moves, how players are able to get to ball and how they can accurately make passes. All three of Newton’s Laws of Motion are applicable to soccer and the physics of the Magnus Effect is marveled at by fans throughout the world when a player is able to curl a free kick into the goal. There are many techniques whereby physics can be applied to make better soccer players. However, no amount of knowledge can make a great athlete without constant practice and dedication. Knowledge of the workings of physics in soccer can assist soccer players and coaches in understanding the science of the game and the rationale behind certain techniques. It can also help in devising methods of play to harness a player’s ability and in creating plays to out maneuver opponents on the field.…
