Hockey has consumed my life, and like-wise for my peers from a young age onward. The countless ‘six AM’ practices, the freshly flooded ice looking at us through our helmets. But it was much more than this. The sense of, belonging to something and being with people who share the same thoughts and feelings. Hockey, known as a physical game was much more.
Zdeno Chara, one of the best defensemen in the game today, shattered the record for hardest shot in the past three years, recording a 108.8 MPH slap shot at the 2012 NHL All Star Game. The evidence doesn’t lie as we saw a record breaking all-star game this year, where both teams combined for 29 goals in one game. This goes to show that the innovations made to equipment such as the stick has allowed players to become even better at scoring. Although the stick is seen to be the most innovated piece of equipment throughout hockey history, skates are not far behind. Stability and stride length must have improved exponentially with the changes to the skate and advances that have been
Shaun White is in a class of his own sweeping the winter X-Games and Olympics for years on end in first place. There are different varieties of snowboarders from the cautious riders, the intermediate boarders, the all out flyers, and the professionals. It’s not easy to be classified a good snowboarder, few have made their mark and even fewer will be remembered by name. As a diehard snowboarder myself, I will take pleasure in writing this paper and defining each of the four categories listed above. Barreling down a mountain, after perfecting the half-pipe
Both players emerged into the Professional leagues at a very young age and immediately became much respected players within their clubs. For both, there was a single step between junior leagues and the professional league. Each immediately broke records early in their careers and continued to do so as their careers progressed. Gretzky and Crosby both developed their own style of play which was constantly critiqued by some, and studied and copied by many. Gretzky or “the Great One” was a smooth skating, Ontario born player who controlled the game whenever he stepped foot on the ice.
When testing his accuracy they made him use an anchor’s bull eyes which is known to be very difficult to hit even in Olympics levels. When testing his accuracy they also used sensors that allows you to find out his release velocity, launch angle, and spin rate. The results for Drew was a perfect 10 out of 10 which is incredible this why he is consider one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. His results showed that four of his darts he throw hit the center of the bull eyes. It is accurate to say that when Drew throws a pass it is always thrown with consistency with a velocity of 52 miles per hour with a identical six degree launch angle that allows his release to spin at approximately 600 rpm which creates a gyroscopic torque in which gravity tries to pull the spin of the nose downward but the aerodynamic forces of the wind that floats over the ball counter balances each other to keep the ball on target where wobble occurs as the ball spins slightly of the axis the small circle of the nose traces in the air which is what makes his throws accurate.
From a very young age, Bobby Orr started skating and quickly demonstrated a passion for hockey. He would spend several hours a day on the Seguin River, in Parry Sound, practicing his skating and would then devote an extra hour practicing shooting
Winning. Kobe Bryant is a better player than LeBron James because he is a proven winner. A ring rush of 5 championships, a compilation of game-winners, having the assassin mentality, leading by example, this is what gives Kobe the edge over LeBron. Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are both extremely gifted basketball players who possess the talent and athleticism, allowing them to be prosperous at their profession. First of all, Kobe Bryant holds the record for most three- pointers made with twelve in one game, on January 7th, 2003 vs. the Seattle SuperSonics.
This is probably all that comes to mind when the average person attempts to define the word bucket. However, the term bucket is not defined as just a simple container but as a slang term that is used in hockey to describe a helmet. Words often times have more than one meaning, even if the word is a common term that has been turned into a slang term. In the world of hockey, this happens extremely often and there is a certain language used to speak about
In addition, I did pretty good in the 12-minutes run also, probably because running is my favourite sport. I try to run 3 times per week during 30 to 45 minutes. So, running is one of my strengths, because I enjoy doing it and I practice a lot. However, for both of the tests I feel like I could have done better times and scores. Indeed, I went to run and walk outside to do the tests, and it was snowing and there was a lot of ice on the sidewalk, which was making my run harder than if I would have been in a gym or running outside with perfect conditions.
But the most important thing which is used for sports initially is “CHEMISTRY”. Chemistry is involved in every single sport we play. Olympic athletes may not be thinking of poly-aromatic amides and phase diagrams while they race down the slope or skate across the ice this week in Salt Lake City, but polymer chemistry and materials science have improved the performance of skis, ice skates, hockey sticks, sports apparel and other gear used in the winter games”. In this essay I will discuss about the sports in which chemistry is extensively used and the effect of sports on the athletes and players. Stadiums and playgrounds:- Sports are played on playground and specific stadium.
