“Swish”, the ball goes through the net! I often wonder how some of the best basketball players get to be so accurate with their shot. Basketball shooting form has changed many times over the years, and all of the great shooters today spend hours on end perfecting the process that they go through every time they take a shot. The process of shooting a basketball is very important.

luck but after a while when it was my turn again I kept hitting the ball over and

Net Shot-a shot using the underhand to shoot the shuttlecock to the opponent’s side, but close to the net.

Dribble. Spin, cross over. Dribble again. The air is cool and only the sounds of ball against hardwood floors are audible. The newly polished court holds its weight underneath the 17-foot size EPSY winner Brittney Grinner. She crouches and dribbles the ball with her right hand before alternating to her left. Griner makes a quick move towards the basket. She stops at the three-point line and releases the ball. Hands remain perfectly arched. Swoosh. The ball bounces underneath the net; Grinner strolls over to retrieve it. She picks it up and makes her way back to the center of the court where the Phoenix Mercury logo resides. She crouches down again, ball on her right side and begins again.

I break the stillness of the gym as I begin to pound the ball into the hardwood floor knowing that it will not go any where except back to my hand. When it does, I hear the impact of the basketball meeting my fingertips, and feel the smooth, bumpy surface of the basketball sending a shock from my fingertips to my hand. Each bounce of the ball makes a sound heard distinctively in the silent stillness. I then begin to dribble the ball to the end of the court. I quickly moved toward the far

There's fifteen seconds left in the game, and we're down one. It’s summer league game, but there is a large crowd of red and black screaming their support. The crowd is nervously sitting on the edge of their seats, waiting to see the outcome. The tall, player from the other team, with sweaty hair matted to her forehead shoots the ball, and it clangs off of the rim into Brooke's awaiting hands. With lightening speed the orange ball hits Ally's open hands before finally landing in mine. I pound the bright ball up the floor and towards the waiting basket. Planting my right foot I push off the ground for a layup. As my body connects with the opposing player, knee to knee, I hear the high-pitched sound of the referee's whistle. With a sickening

I can't hit the ball to the sand trap with my 3-wood, so this lie I wish to have just before the trap in the heart of the ever so small fairway provides a spectacular angel to the green. Quickly scanning the tee grounds in my proximity, I look for a marking to utilize as a tool to help me line up with my target. I find a leaf, decaded and frail, lining up right down my target line, it was the perfect mark. I line up to my Titleist Prov-1 golf ball, which was carefully placed on the target line with the leaf. I swing the club, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth a couple times each time breathing heavier and slower. I begin to feel the little bouncy balls in my veins bounce back and forth very rapidly and my heart spurting out these bouncy balls into my veins slowly but in mass numbers. I settle my club in the soft zoysiagrass of the tee box directly behind my ball, I take one last big breath. The club, now taken back and over my body is moving swiftly and staying at a consistent speed, but my body is as still as

Points are scored when after serving the ball, the server wins the rally. If the player returning serve wins the rally, no points are scored for either player, and the player who won the rally retains the right to serve. Keeping the ball low and hitting it high gives the opponent time to get to the ball before it bounces twice.

For hundreds of years, golf has been an extremely popular and growing sport all around the world. Looking where golf is now, it is growing rapidly from the young to the elder population. The first round of gold was first played in the 15th century off the coast of Scotland, but it did not start to be played until around 1755. The standard rules of golf were written by a group of Edinburgh golfers. Today, people of the US, Scotland, and England, have been drawn to the game because it is fun, challenging, and hardly any athletic ability at all is required for amateurs. In breaking down the game, geometry plays a major

He says, “Don’t worry about anything, just trust in the work you’ve put in and go compete.” These dark thoughts of failure and doubt are now replaced with much warmer memories. I begin to reminisce about the years of long hours practicing and grinding in order to get to this moment. I think about all the time that I’ve spent with my friends that were on the same mission that I was as we played the game we loved from the time the sun popped up in the east and fell down over the horizon in the west. I am much more calm now as I take the tee and our round begins. I look to my fellow competitors and I see many of the same mistakes that I make. This gives me comfort in knowing that even though they do have a prestigious past, the golf ball doesn’t know

The purpose of this project is to analyze an overhand volleyball serve from a biomechanical perspective. Biomechanics is defined as forces and movements on living systems. It looks at the internal and external forces that act on the body, and the movements that these forces create. By understanding the biomechanical concepts, you can train your body to move with accuracy. It also enables us to develop new skills, correct minor mistakes, develop new equipment design, and improve safety to reduce the risk for injury. The volleyball serve almost looks like a throw-like movement because the joints used extend one after another. The reason behind this is that within the movement, the shoulder extends before the elbow and wrist; the shoulder actually begins to extend while the elbow is still

“My uncle just said, ‘Don’t stop,’” Stewart said. “I want to continue to get better. He told me to know the golf side of it and the golf course side of it.”

It’s the Sunday of a major championship so of course we have a rules controversy! Ian Poulter hit his tee shot WAY right on the par-4 8th hole, couldn’t find it and couldn’t find it and couldn’t find it and then yelled at a rules official when things weren’t going his way. Now to be totally honest I’m still not sure if they got it right or wrong. No idea. I guess they found his original ball but it was outside the 5-minute window but it was in the hazard so he was able to take a drop instead of being forced to go back and re-tee. I think that’s what happened. Either way though, it doesn’t matter if Poulter was right or wrong. It’s how he handled it. The dude is an asshole and he handled it like an asshole. He can’t help himself. Him repeatedly

In a scramble, each player tees off on each hole. The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed.

“Tiger Woods to the tee please!!!” The commentator said over the loud speaker. Tiger walked up to the tee with a straight face but inside he was so confused he had no idea what to do about the money he had been offered. Tiger was playing with Jayden Belly. Jayden went off first and smashed it. Tiger was next to go before he got ready to hit the ball he had a look at the crowd and he could see Jacob. Jacob just gave him a little bit of a nob. WOOSH!! Tiger smashed his drive but for some reason he held back on it and didn’t hit it as far as he normally wood and was 15 meters behind Jayden. This happened for the whole day and slowly and slowly Jayden started to get shots back on Tiger, until they were standing on the final hole both being on 17
