Direct free kick

She saved shot after shot. Keeping the score tied at 0-0. As we got ten minutes into the game I started to think about substitutions. I didn 't want to pull my starters off because they were doing so well. But to help my starters stay fresh I needed to give them a break. My dad showed me how to move the girls around without leaving any weak areas on the field. About a quarter of the way through the game, one of the Pocatello forwards got away from our defense on a breakaway. This breakaway resulted in a goal for Pocatello, so the score was 1-0. Right before halftime one of the Pocatello defenders fouled on of the Rigby forwards inside the 18-yard box, consequently, Rigby got a penalty kick (PK). One of the girls that I coached was an excellent PK taker. I had her set up, and take the kick. The ball zipped just inside the right post and into the sidewall of the net. We were now tied with Pocatello 1-1. The ref blew the whistle signaling that it was time for half time. The second half of the game was just as intense as the first. We held them until about ten minutes left, when on of the Pocatello forwards snuck one more goal in, making the score 2-1 Pocatello. We ended up losing the game, but the girls played hard until the very end. After the game we talked about how the tournament wasn 't over yet and we still had time to go home with first place. The next team we played was Bridger Valley. This team came from Wyoming, we hadn 't ever seen them play before, so we…

After the team’s loss due to Jess missing the penalty kick, she reached out to me as she heard other athletes were using a mental skills coach to help increase performance. Jess wasn’t certain on how a mental skills training (MST) could help her performance, but was eager to learn more. This was Jess’s first preseason friendly game, making it easy to implement a PST programme before the competitive season began, creating a long term solution for effective results in performance rather than a…

Are the differences and similarities between baseball and soccer a blur? Not to worry, these two sports however complex they may appear will be sized up against each other. To understand any sport, one must understand that there are standards each individual sport has that not only players but also staff, such as coaches, must follow. Furthermore, each sport has different popularity levels and locations. Finally, the gear used during a game is different for each sport. It is difficult to…

Despite what most people think, Soccer is a very simple game. In order to play a game of soccer, you will need eleven people per team and two teams per game. In addition, it is helpful to have a referee. Each player will need to have a team jersey to wear for the game. As well as shin guards, socks and cleats. In addition, each team will need to have a goal net that should be placed at either end of the field, along with a soccer ball. Once all these are acquired you are ready to have a soccer…

played. The only place in the world to call soccer by that name is the United States of America; everyone else calls it football.

In soccer there are several different important rules that you must abide by. When a player makes a pass to a teammate that is past all of the defenders, they are offsides. Offsides will sometimes not…

Some Quails in the group kick with only with one of the same foot and others kick…

The line between martial arts and professional cardio workout routines is kind of blurry; the difference between learning how to do a high kick and learning how to do a knee pull to an aerobic exercise tape isn't that wide. That said, there are a lot of reasons to take up martial arts, ranging from self confidence building to general exercise and working on balance. One kind of exercise program that's sweeping the gym set is the cardio kickboxing workout. The original cardio kickboxing program…

The goal of every taekwondo olympic fighter is to master a kick you know will knock out your opponent. The most common one and the I am testing is a Round kick, is a kick where the attacker swings their leg around in a semicircular motion, striking with the top of the foot. There is a lot more that goes into the perfect kick than most think. What is the perfect angle? What is the perfect distance away from the opponent? What is the perfect speed of the kick? These are all things that go into a…
