What are sports?<br />

Well… an sport is, according to different sources, an activity involving<br />

physical exertion & skill in which an individual or team competes against<br />

another or others. (google search) , but we have also an other definition from<br />

the ASC, Australian Sports Commission) that is that a sport is a physical human<br />

activity capable of achieving a result requiring physical exertion and/or<br />

physical skill, which, by its nature and organization, is competitive and is<br />

generally accepted as being a sport.<br />

Top 5 sports<br />

worldwide<br />

1 soccer: it’s a combination of few<br />

things, football happened to be the<br />

favourite past-time of the british<br />

workers in the late 90’s, when the<br />

british navy was at it’s strongest.

of popularity of this sport is<br />

lower than soccer because<br />

American football is more<br />

Technology in sports<br />

Hawk-eye is the name of a computer and camera system which traces a ball's<br />

trajectory. It is being used in international cricket and tennis, and many other sports<br />

are also looking at making use of this technology. The system is also being trialled<br />

in soccer as part of the goal line assessment. The Premier League of Football in the<br />

UK has agreed to the introduction of goal-line sensors after being given approval by<br />

football's rule-makers. The system being developed by the UK company Hawk-Eye,<br />

would give a definitive decision on whether the ball had crossed the line. The Hawk<br />

Eye uses a camera taking 600 frames a second on the goal-line, with the information<br />

is analyzed by computer and sent to the referee's headset or a device on his wrist.<br />

In 2015, Hawkeye technology was also used by rugby officials at the 2015 Rugby<br />

World Cup, to improve decision-making by the television match official (TMO) and


also assist with player safety. In this case<br />

it is enhanced video review, rather than<br />

the ball tracking technology as used in<br />

other sports. (reference from:<br />

topendsports)<br />

The Hawk-eye technoly is in every top sport worldwide, they have that special<br />

technology for each one of them.


Motivation Involves 4 different topics but first of all what is<br />

Motivation.<br />

Motivation as defined by Sage is the direction and intensity of<br />

ones effort.<br />

All of this involves some kind of dangers like<br />

adopting specific motivational strategies for<br />

all situations, and not recognizing how<br />

something from<br />

motivation, for<br />

task<br />

achievement, high task,<br />

persistency, higher effort, and a<br />

high level of motivation in practice.<br />

can be improving skills, having fun,<br />

being with friends, experiencing<br />

thrills and excitement, achieving<br />

success and also developing fitness.<br />

effort to pursue goals, intensity of effort and<br />

principally persistency.
