Strength One- (skill): Passing
Within my chosen activity of football i have decided to highlight passing as one of my strengths. Passing is the action of passing the ball to another team member.
Passing in football is the most important skill for a successful team to have. The two most important passes to make are the push pass and the long pass.
The Push pass is sometimes referred to as a direct pass; this is probably one of the most-used passes in a football game. It tends to be a safe pass, as you want your team to retain the ball so the other team can start to tire. This is typically executed when you are near your teammates. The best technique for the push pass is to first plant your non-kicking foot alongside the ball and point it in the direction you want the ball to go. When you contact with the ball, use the inside of your kicking foot. You want to hit the middle

Fartlek running involves varying your pace throughout your run, alternating between fast segments and slow jogs. The workload can either be measured in time or distance e.g sprint 100m or sprint for 20seconds then jog for 1minute. Fartlek training can also take place over different terrains.
Football is a game that lasts for 90minutes plus added time with short and quick burst of speed so it’s important you work on your overall speed and endurance. This allows a player to go and support the attack when the team is higher up the pitch but if they lose the ball and the other team go on the counter the player will quickly sprint back into his role to win the ball back

Strength doesn’t always determine how far someone can throw a football. The better your form is and the angle you throw the ball is more important than your arm strength. Scientists have come up with the shape of a football for it to travel the best in a tight spiral. When the ball is being thrown, it follows a curved path called a parabola. Gravity is forced upon the ball at the end of the ball’s path, forcing it to curve down at the highest point.
The targeting rule in college football could be the “most significant rule” change ever made in the game (Matter). According to Greg Johnson of the NCAA, the rule was passed by the Football Rules Committee of the NCAA in February of 2013 to be implemented with the 2013 fall football season and is consistent with the committees’ continued attempt to address player safety. The new rule now places a tougher penalty on the defensive player for dangerous contact with the offensive player, notably direct helmet-to-helmet hits, or hits aimed above the shoulders of the offensive player. This direct, helmet-to-helmet contact is known as targeting. Although the implementation of the new targeting rule is controversial, it will help to reduce the number of serious lifelong head injuries to football players and make college football a safer sport.
Cross country is not a hard sport, contrary to popular belief. People often think that you have to be born with the stamina needed for running four or five miles at a time. There are so many different things people think is necessary, like running sprints, heavy miles or lifting weights and building strength, but in reality these things are minor. Although being physically fit is idealistic, it is not the most important thing needed to be successful because having a well-balanced, nutritious diet, pacing yourself and setting a strategy, and having the right positive attitude can put you in the shape to be a successful cross country runner.

In soccer, there are no time outs and little stoppage of play, so communication with coaches is limited. For a team to play well, each player must know what they need to do on and off the field.

First of all, the rules of football require one to equip himself with approximately twenty pounds of equipment, including a helmet, shoulder pads, and girdle pads. This is because football has the most contact involved out of all sports. In a football game, the norm is that the home team wears colorful jerseys and the visiting team wears white jerseys. Moreover, if a team’s offense is on the field, their defense is on the sideline. A team’s offense includes a center, who snaps the ball to the quarterback. The “QB” then has a choice to run with the ball, hand it off to a running back, or throw it to a wide receiver. The quarterback has an offensive line to protect him from the assailing defense. If a teammate happens to score a touchdown, he earns his team six points, which allows for the kicker to kick an extra point, and give his team a total of seven points. However, if the offense fails to travel at least ten yards within four attempts, or “downs,” they have the opti...

Like football, you score by running the ball into the endzone or by kicking it through the uprights. Also, you must touch the ball to the ground for it to count, and it is worth five points. When kicking, the ball can be kicked from anywhere spontaneously. If it passes through the uprights, it is worth three points, as in football.
In game play, players make an effort to create goal scoring occasions through individual control of the ball, such as dribbling, passing the ba...
Throughout the course of a ninety-minute game, teams and players tend to face enormous adversity. The best players in the world have tremendous analytical aptitude alongside their skills, in order to overcome this adversity. Speaking from experience, I can tell you that being on the field and figuring out a way to elude the defense and score on a net being safeguarded by a player that can use his hands is no easy task. When you step on the field, you and your team have a game plan, but almost never do you stick to that for the entirety of the game. As a team you adjust to the rhythm and tempo of the other team and this can be quite
