Basic Game Strategy Research Paper

Describe a basic game strategy or movement skill (offensive or defensive) you learned in class that can be transferred across at least two different sports we covered in this semester. Explain how this strategy or movement skill increased your individual or your team’s success during game play in both activities.

A basic game strategy is short passing and quick passes. It's an offensive strategy and can be used throughout several types of sports. In sports like floor hockey, it's an invasion territory game making people being more aggressive and defensive. With teamwork the use of our team can pass the ball continuously to fake or trick the opponent to shot for a goal. Also, passing the ball around let everyone have a chance to play and try

to be successful by scoring. With passing quickly it prevents the other team from surrounding you to get the ball and short passing are easy to give your teammates rather than long passes that the other team can intercept it and gain possession of it.
In basketball, this strategy is good for it too, since quick passes to like a open player to shoot in the net for a point. Furthermore, basketball is great with short passes after all long just like in hockey long passes has the risk of turnovers. Considering that this strategy works with hockey and basketball it works among many other however soccer is one. The strategy is amazing in soccer seeing that quick passes can bring the ball to the opponent team to score and short passes can is easier to handle than long pass making the turnover to the opponent team. Therefore, a basic game strategy is short passing and quick passes which increases me and my team’s ability to be successful.

Choose a sport that you participated in during the semester.

What are some indicators that you are working to improve that component when playing that sport? How will improving that component (and your fitness in general) improve your life overall?
A sport that I have participated during the semester is basketball.

The health-related component of fitness is cardiorespiratory fitness. The aspect of basketball involved this component is running which improves my running to get the ball to shoot into the net. The indicators that I am working to improve the component while playing is to running around to open places and to running back to defend, improving this will make me more healthy and active. The skill-related component of fitness for basketball is reaction time since the sport is a fast paced game and you need to be awared of your surrounding after all there's other people on your team with the ball trying to get into open space and the opponent team defending their net. The indicators that I am working to improve the component while playing is to communicate with my team and be aware of my surroundings and if there is any open spots to try to score and pass to open teammates. The component will improve my life overall in school with decision making, being alert, etc.

Many teens experience peer pressure to abuse alcohol/drugs, so it is important that they are aware of their own resiliency. Using an example (personal or made up), describe 2 protective factors that can increase an individual’s ability to resist using alcohol or drugs as a coping method. (Be sure make connections between the protective factors, and how these factors would help an individual avoid using and/or help someone refuse to use.)
Since many teens experience peer pressure to abuse alcohol/drugs. A story of me is that I was almost peer pressure to vape by a friend of mine and tried to influence me to try out his vape which he said it taste like cotton candy, however I knew the effect of vaping which is the same as smoking is bad and not good for our body. The two protective factors are good communication skills and supportive friends. Upon good communication skills it increase a person's ability to resist using alcohol or drugs by talk about it and changing the topic to draw away attention. With supportive friends they help make good decisions and confidence to deal with situations. The two risk factors are feeling disconnected and family history with mental health issues. With feeling disconnected people don’t care about you and is not confident. As well as family history with mental health issues as social withdrawal, dramatic changes in eating or sleeping habits and strong feelings of anger.
