Perception comes in many forms‚ identities‚ and cultures. The real problems arise when people are forced to seek similarities through the difference. My first impression of the freshmen soccer players during my sophomore year was just awful. They were just some punk kids coming up from the middle school to us. “They never really knew how to play‚” we convinced ourselves.

In soccer‚ the length of the ball in air when it is kicked is the hang time. Air resistance or adding a curve to the ball will increase its hang time. Hang time can be calculated by H= 1/2 g(gravitational acceleration)times t(time) times 1/2. As the player kicks the ball with the inside of his foot he creates a curve on the ball and increases hang time due to air resistance acting on it. Kicking the ball straight will have a low hang time and just keep it low to the ground. The higher the ball is
