    Why Soccer Is so Important to Me?

    These are the reasons why I play soccer and why the sport is so important to me. To live for every moment on the field, as if it is my last time playing. When I am on the field everything that I do is second nature and I never have to worry about “what my next move should be.” Through the many years of learning from experienced soccer coaches, I have learned my own style of playing. But I also know that one person can not make a team, instead it takes eleven players working together as a unit to be a successful soccer team. Each individual player brings something valuable to the team, which everyone is able to benefit from. Over time my teammates became a support group that I can confide my deepest secrets to and know that they will always support me. There are so many reasons why soccer is important to me because it’s my stress reliever, my second nature thing, and my favorite pass…

    Importance Of Newton's Laws Of Motion In Soccer

    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.…
