Anthropology of Sport is the culturally diverse and natural comprehension of game in ancient times, history, and the contemporary world (Blanchard 1995). It examines the financial, political and social measurements of game and how wear impacts the lives of people and groups far and wide. Sports has as of late pulled in close ethnographic enthusiasm as a protest of teach, a domain of pop culture through spectatorship, and through the contemporary rage for wellbeing and wellness. Sports has been…
dusty diamond is executed with purpose, precision, and perfection on this searing, blistering August day in 2017. Eye black streaks our faces and dirt is smothered on our deep blue uniforms. Undoubtedly, we are sore from the games we played throughout the week. Game after game, we pitched, hit, and ran. Over and over again. Afterwards, we would party in the hotel, crash the swimming pool, eat at restaurants, and compete at bowling alleys. Despite the entertainment, when it is time to play, my…
The game of golf is almost more mental than it is physical. Having the ability to control one’s thoughts and emotions can turn good players into great ones. Many players learn how to play the game physically, but cannot ever make a leap towards better golf due to their actions and thoughts on the course. When playing bad, all it may take is a change in mindset or attitude to get one back on track. Sometimes it’s a little change in swing thought that will turn one’s round around. Maybe a new…
If we're honest about it we know that most golfers love driving the ball. It's not only fun but very exhilarating and rewarding. Aside from those great attributes, whenever we deliver a really good shot - it's a beautiful thing. However, for so many golfers it's the 'Tee Shot' that gives them the most trouble. From hooks to slices to shanks, every golfer is fully aware of what could and many times does go wrong. This section of the article is specifically written to help you correct these…
were watching Tyler Kesterson ,my brother, and Trendin McKinney ,Kynsie's brother, at the World Series and our brother's team was in the field first ,Southwest Arkansas. When the first batter was up and Cane Edwards our pitcher threw the ball and the batter hit the ball to short stop and T.K threw it to first base and everyone screamed and shouted for him. We got three outs our turn to bat and there was no run limit and Tyler was up to bat and he hit it to outfield and he run to second base and…
I walked up to the home plate ; Mr.jaan pitched the ball and I was thinking just do it. I was thinking so hard in fact that I got one strike for doing so. Next Mr.jaan got a the ball and made it bounce so he said it was a ball .On the third roll I kicked so high and long that Oskar could catch it but it slip out of his hands and then I started to run as fast as lighting or people just call me the the Jogging Cow. While I was running the only thing I can think of was run but the problem was…
There were 2 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game. Bases were loaded, and there were 2 outs. I was at the plate. We had played our hardest, but we knew it was all over. I was the Dodgers’ last hope of ever making it to the World Series. We were up against the Giants. Literally. We were all 8-10 year olds, and they were like 13. I had absolutely no chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard…
As Bobby Jones once said “Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots- but you have to play the ball where it lies.” Golf is not your typical sport. Golf is something I would lose myself in. Most importantly it taught me how to grow up by a code of ethics. Every time I took the course I learned a new lesson whether, it was in my personal game or personal life. A golf club carries a culture of it’s own and I truly…
would be angry, and I was afraid that I would let myself down. I didn’t believe in myself that I could hit the ball, but it all began when I stepped up to the plate… “Come on Gwen, keep your foot in,” said Coach Kress. My team was warming up and I was doing warm-up swings with Coach Kress. As I was batting Coach Kress was telling me things I needed to improve on and my head was…
if she wanted to play some wiffle ball over at the park. She said yes mostly because we had gotten new wiffle ball equipment as an early birthday present for both of us (Her birthday is the day after mine). We walked over to the park and played a lefty hitting one on one game. She took the led 4-0, and I couldn’t score. Eventually, the score turned into 5-4 her. I had one more chance to win with a ghost-runner on second, and 2 outs. A home run would win the game. I took my awkward lefty swing…
