Currently, only one sport dominates the entire globe, from Latin America, to Europe, to Asia and Africa, and North America.

The sport is not played regularly, but continues to be…

All energy systems are constantly working together, although there is always a bigger contribution from one energy system to another depending on the intensity and duration of the activity. During a soccer match the ATP-PC energy system is the dominant energy source for high intensity activities of up to 10 seconds. This is dominant when an outfield player is jumping for a header or a goalkeeper is diving to save the ball. The anaerobic glycolysis system is the highest contribution when working…

Although every sport is physically and mentally demanding in their own way, soccer and hockey have some of the greatest athletes in the world.

“Goal!!!!” The roar of the crowd is the best sound. Hearing them chant your name. If you ever scored a winning soccer goal in the last two minutes then you know how I feel. Beautiful kick and perfectly flowing right into the corner of the goal. Now that’s what you call perfection. Knowing you are the star of the game is the best feeling. Enduring until the end is the way to go for all sports. Just because the game is almost over does not mean you can’t win it. You’re in it to win it so endure…
