Ball game

Sometimes people do not notice the psychological and physical aspects that impact our everyday lives, from simple tasks like hitting a ball to hiking alone in the Rocky Mountains. In the experiment “See the Ball, Hit the Ball” conducted by Witt and Proffitt, the researchers experimented with people who enjoyed playing softball and measured their perception of the ball's size. In the process, they provided another example that applies to the action-specific theory of perception. The study’s…

I left around ten o’clock that morning and stopped at Burger King and got some breakfast. When we got to the field my team and I went on the field and warmed up. We were ready to beat the other team. The first couple innings we were playing great. We were winning 2-0. At the top of the fourth i was playing short-stop. A ball was hit to me and it broke my hand. At…

We arrive at their home field which was the Old Fairmont Heights High School’s soccer field since Northwestern’s field was getting turf instead of grass. As we got off the bus, we went straight to the benches and got ready to warm-up before the game. While we were warming up, Northwestern’s soccer team arrived. Both of us finished warming up after about 30 minutes and the referees called for captains from both teams to pick…

of sweat fell off my forehead. It was the bottom of the sixth and we were one out away from winning the World Series, he flashed me a two which meant curveball. I checked the runner, got my grip on the ball, and checked the runner again. I lifted my leg and let go of the ball. We were the last game of the tournament, it was August 1st and the daylight was just starting to slip behind the Rocky Mountains in center field. We were playing a team from Oklahoma City in the World Series championship.…

High School. I was truly excited to learn a new sport. From what I knew, lacrosse was basically soccer with sticks; throwing and catching a ball with a stick seemed a relatively straightforward concept. In the first practice, I wasn’t able to throw or catch a single ball. Whenever I threw the ball, it fell out of my stick and whenever I tried to catch the ball, it bounced off the side or flew past me. Dismayed at my performance, I decided to learn from the seasoned players. I watched them…

used to play in an Inter City baseball league in Coudersport. I was 11 years old when I first started pitching. My coach had called me over from practicing defending ground balls to try out for pitching. He said I had made a great first impression and that I would definitely be starting many games for our team. Finally, my first game on the mound came along. I came in at the 4th inning as a relief pitcher. I had struck out the first two batters, and the third batter came up to the plate. I had a…
