A New Look at Sports
Growing up in a family filled with athletic desire to be great at whatever sport we would participate in and understanding simple physics in Cosmetology, I never realized how much physics comes into play when playing sports. We don’t call it physics when were playing, football, basketball, baseball because it’s just a natural feeling when were throwing a ball or trying to tackle someone. When we began to learn about Newton’s law of Gravity. All sports in the world today have all displayed many aspects of force, motion, gravity, distance and speed but we don’t take the time to realize actually what were doing. Sports have been a big part of my life ever since I was able to stand but I never have once stopped and asked why? Why does a person have tackle with such force and such speed to be able to bring down the runner, or why a baseball can be hit with such force off a bat to be able to hit a home run. Sports are filled with physics that no one understands because we never take the time to ask why, sports are all about physics and the techniques we use to be great at a sport.
When I started to think about all the sports I have played in my life and ask why things happened the way they do I started with the first sport I fell in love with. Baseball was one of the sports that I have always had such a urge to play and especially watch others hit baseballs. I started thinking about what baseball is about, there is 8 people on the field and it takes three outs to end the inning The game is consumed of a baseball, bat, helmet and gloves. Everything else is handled through the players and amount of skill they can bring to the game. Then I remember growing up my dad, brother and I used to watch the homerun derby and I started to think why each player was able to hit the ball so much farther when the ball is being thrown tremendously slower, each ball is thrown at an
