1743 Words4 Pages

This essay is about the observation and analysis of the technique/composition of the performance of the performers on the video provided which is, a netball shooting video. Just for a beginning, in netball today, two basic shots are used which are, Australian high release and Caribbean shot. Netball has a unique style: the ball is released high and is usually released while shooter is stationary.
Accuracy, composure, toughness, precise technical work and released game pressure situations are the key ingredients to consistent, high percentage shooting. If any of these elements are missing, the shooter is likely to go missing when the pressure is really on. Attackers try to feed the ball into the goal circle, so that the goal shooter (GS) or …show more content…

The main problems that should be improved are concentration, body-balanced and applying correct technique of shooting. This is very important to the shooters who are doing a step before shooting since none of the shots with a step before it were successful. But, all of the ways that is going to be explained can be used to improve all the weaknesses discussed above.
Nicole Cusack stated that hours of practice and dedication has seen her reach her goal to be an Australian goal shooter. She added that the GS and GA must be able to work well together. Finding space in goal circle can be difficult at times, so it is important to talk to each other to keep the shooting circle balanced at all times. The shooters must have confidence and cope well under …show more content…

Once the shooters have mastered the technique through practice, then, they can practice on other skills. It is very important to keep our body balance first before shooting. The drill to improve this is; two on two drill. The two goal shooters stand inside the circle, and two defenders stand next to them. The feeder is outside the circle with ball. The feeder calls “GO” and passes to one of the shooters. The shooters must take three safe passes to each other before taking a shot for goal. Defender must use the recovery step to gain legal distance and then raise their arms to pressure the shot.

    Soccer is a game that is played a lot on angles and measurements. Most wouldn’t think that angles come into play when playing soccer, they just kick it into the goal wherever they can. To make a good, precise shot, you must take into account where you are in relation to the goal, and decide what angle would be the best to aim and kick for. Where the kicker is standing in correlation to the goal plays a major factor on the difficulty of the shot. Also, if the kicker is a left or right footed kicker and what side of the goal they are on also plays an important factor...

    First, I would like to discuss some of the issues that were discussed in the WNBA article, “We’ve Got Next”. This was one of the best articles that we have read this semester. It shows a lot of issues, like stigmatization of women and men in sport, and how the media and the general population regard them so differently. The article made great comparisons between the different ways men and women play basketball, claiming that women play more for the team, and use great skill and tack, while the men are out there to increase their status, and are in essence putting on a show. This very well may be the fact, but it is the social reasons given for this that I find hard to believe. Society believes women to be more of the caretaker and the person who makes sure everything is even, before all other things. the person who is selfless in the face of a general goal. These rationalizations appear in the...

  • Compare And Contrast Soccer And American Football

    In soccer the game is played in two halves’ which are composed of 45 minutes each with a 15 minutes break in between. When the game starts the team with procession of the ball first will begin in the middle of the field, with the players staying on their corresponding sides. The positions they have are goalkeeper, defense, midfield, and forward. When the referee blows the whistle the match begins and the team with the procession start passing the ball to eventually score. A typical strategy is to take the ball through the sides by passing it to open players or running with the ball. As soon as you get close to the goalie box, they tend to cross the ball to an open teammate so they can attempt to score. The opposing team however, is trying to defend by keeping the ball as far away from the goal net. In this case the midfielders job would be to prevent the offensive team to get by so the defense gets in position for an off sides trap. If that doesn’t work they keep the offense on the sides of the field and leaving no players open in the middle. Eventually, this will work and the opposing team will take control of the ball. In soccer you can only score one way but different styles such as corner kick, free kick, penalty, or just taking a shot at the goal

    First of all, you must take control of the ball and decide what to do with it. You only have two options. You either carry the ball on your own trying to score for your team or you pass the ball and move to get back the ball. Second of all, you need to use the inside of your foot to be more accurate. With you knowing what part of your foot use, choose the person you are passing the ball to. To choose who are you passing the ball to, make sure your teammate is open, that there are none of the opposite players near your teammate, and that your team will make a smart play to score. If an opposing player is near, there is an immense probability for the other team to intercept the ball. Along with that, the other team might score against

    2081 Words  | 5 Pages

    Before we get into how to shoot a basketball I think it’s best to know a little history about what we going to be discussing. Doctor James Naismith invented basketball in 1891 in Springfield, Massachusetts. Doctor Naismith a Canadian man invented the game for the YMCA to play during the winter months so they could stay in shape while beating the cold at the same time. He nailed up two peach baskets for hoops and the object was to get the rubber ball through the peach baskets and that’s how it all began in a nutshell. The greatest basketball player to ever live Michael Jordan once said “You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.”(Jordan, 2014). Jordan is a hundred percent right just because you do something over and over don’t mean you doing it right. It could just mean you doing the same thing wrong over and over. My break down of shooting a basketball will show the correct way to shoot. As simple as it may seem shooting a basketball has a lot of steps to it. To make it a li...
