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 />

things, football happened to be the<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 />
motivation strategies interact with the<br />
situation.<br />
Coaches require<br />
or want<br />
something from<br />
motivation, for<br />
example, higher<br />
task<br />
achievement, high task,<br />
persistency, higher effort, and a<br />
high level of motivation in practice.<br />
The main motives for doing sports<br />
can be improving skills, having fun,<br />
being with friends, experiencing<br />
thrills and excitement, achieving<br />
success and also developing fitness.<br />
The importance of all of this is the achievement<br />
motivation influences for choice of activities,<br />
effort to pursue goals, intensity of effort and<br />
principally persistency.
