My topic is on height as it relates to the accuracy of successful free throw shots. After thinking about creative ways to get my children to do chores I came up with a quick challenge for them. Whoever can make the most, free throws would be exempt for weekly chores. They were excited and then thought the odds weren’t fair because they are shorter than I am. Which leads me to the question of does height matter? In this report, you will see data that shows the accuracy of successful free throw shot attempts from various heights. I will use pie charts and bar chart to record my results. DATA ANALYSIS I collected my data by having each person stand at the free throw line which is 12ft.10in. away from the standard 10ft basketball hoop. They each
The most significant information found in the post-experiment research is the information found in Caruso’s research that accounts for the swing of the arms when jumping vertically. Caruso’s experiment shows how male and female volleyball players display different vertical jump heights with the men’s being higher. She accounts for this by saying the swing of the arms results in the men being able to jump higher due to their greater upper body strength.
A sample of children ranging from 4 to 13 years old are going to be asked to watch a Rainbow Brite video. The children will be randomly picked from a childcare center. To ensure that the children are going to be randomly assigned, the children will range in different age groups. The first group will consist of 4, 6, and 8 year olds. The second group will consist of 10,12, and 14 year olds. It would have to be a field experiment because you have to go out and collect the data.

The situation that I am choosing is Coach K wants to increase his basketball players’ free throw percentages. The first thing I would do is talk to the whole team and let them know what my standards are. Let’s say currently the team is shooting free throws at 65%, I would lay down the foundation of what my expectations are, and would let them know that I would like for the team to increase its free throw percentage to at least 80%. The positive reinforcer that I would use is more play time minutes during an actual game. In College basketball the more minutes you play, means the more time you get to show off your skills to recruiters in hopes of getting drafted or to play overseas. If players’ free throw percentages decrease, not only will
SWOOSH. That’s all I hear in a gym full of 100 or more screaming fans and the sound of the buzzer going off as if it was never going to stop. As I laid on the ground gasping for air, I came to my senses that I just hit the game winning shot against Tates Creek high School with 3.7 seconds left. This shot was the shot of my career but who would of knew 7 years prior to that shot that I would of became a top rated shooting guard in the city of Lexington, Kentucky. My whole basketball career all I’ve known is to shoot a basketball jump shot, that was my duty, my job, my responsibility but never did I feel I was mechanically doing my whole life’s work wrong.
A sea of mixed emotions occurred during 1998 NBA finals. Many people from different parts of the country packed into an arena to witness history. It did not matter if a person was of different color, wealth or even sex, people wanted to witness greatness. As history occurred in that game, it was captured beautifully. One specific photograph of Michael Jordan hitting his iconic game winner became the main photograph of the night. The attention drawn to Michael Jordan that night was captured in a black and white view, yet a lot of detail is in the dark scheme to direct even more attention towards him.
* Age of the person exercising * level of fitness and recovery rate * gender of candidate * temperature * amount of recovery time KEY VARIABLE: - The variable that I will be using is the duration of exercise, this is because it is easy to measure against any candidate and get a correct accurate reading from it. If I chose the type of exercise I will get readings that might not be correct because some types of exercises are
Basketball is a fun sport. Layups are a very popular way of scoring or making a basket in basketball. I am learning about layups becuse there are many different ways to do a layup. Layups can be difficult to do if you have never done them before, but just practice practice practice!. Some people will be able to do a layup there first time, and others may need some practice. To do a layup you should always try doing it with both hands. And to most people it will be easier to do a layup with your dominant hand. But it would really help to perfect your layup with both your right hand and your left hand.
The musical Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda tells of Alexander Hamilton’s impressive journey from an all but irrelevant street child, to one of the most important men in American politics. It is based off of a true story of growth, heroism, and determination. In writing this musical, Miranda takes a dry, historic story, and turns it into a captivating performance. His project to take the story of Alexander Hamilton and make it relatable to the average American is extraordinarily successful, mostly because the methods by which he does this are unprecedented. His unique methods and practices have resulted in Hamilton being so popular that it was awarded a record breaking sixteen Tony nominations (Paulson). The musical tells how Hamilton doesn’t

B.E.E.F. I was at the free throw line. I was thinking to myself B.E.E.F., Balance Eyes Elbow Follow-through. That's what I was thinking When I was at the free throw line, I thought I was going to miss. I was surprised when I first shot the ball I made it. Then when I shot the ball a second time it was flying through the air and I made it again 2 for 2.
