What makes Football Different from other Sport


Many sport have come into existence right from history and till today, more sport are been created. We have different kind of sport that has evolved and still advancing like Soccer, America football, basketball, rugby, cricket, tennis, golf, athletes etc and much more

 

Historically, people have engage in all kind of sport may be professionally or amateur. Sport in general have really help us health wise and fitness for our daily lives and overall wellness for old and young men and women. But today people have take this sport to the next level professionally, many have built their entire life and career through this sport with thousands and millions of dollar paid and collected.


But in this article, am focusing on Soccer/football which is my field, base on the title above “The Mathematics in Football” and what makes Football different from other sport base on my experience and opinions and my few friends opinion in the game.

 

First, let define soccer, according to dictionary “soccer is a form of football played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball which may not be handled during play except by the goalkeepers.

Note: also called Football in some countries and Soccer in some countries and both are the same

 As said earlier, “the mathematics in football”, I took such phrase because football isn’t easy to be sincere, it doesn’t only require energy, power, strength or stamina but 90% requires the ability to think and calculate. Unlike other sports majorly, you need strength, speed, jump and other fitness training but less of critical thinking, for me. Football is one of major sport that after having every require fitness training then next is the ability to reason/think before the ball get to you and when you are with the ball within few seconds else you lose the ball as player, that alone is challenging for most incoming players and some professionals sometimes. I have experience this many times and also ask my team mate the same question of how do you see the football game when you are playing, many will say one need to calculate fast before and when you are with the ball but mind you footballers still need the fitness but more of the brain work. That’s the mathematics, example can, if you are a midfielder trying to receive the ball from the left angle and few opponents are around/ within you, you should have calculate the move to make, may be to pass back or switch direction within few seconds and make a through pass.. Don’t you see how different soccer game is, and many more explanation to give why football is different from other sport and the mathematics in it which will be explain later. Well, we can’t say other games too don’t have theirs as matter of fact no sport is easy, but our fans may think it easy because they shout on us when we are in the pitch saying “can’t you pass to this angle, can’t you score like this or like that” well all this are just mouth, it isn’t easy as we think.

  The Importance of Juggling and its Benefits To give a simple definition of what it means by juggling the soccer ball " Juggling  is a kind of skill in keeping the  ball  off the ground by using any part of the body. What comes to your mind when you hear about "juggling" a ball, you might always think is some "trickster" like those dancing skills some guys do on the street of London, Brasil, Spain etc then those passing-by may stop to look, clap hands and sometimes dash them some gift for this kind of talents/skills they perform; yes is part of it but you can't completely do that in field in a game of soccer.
