Station 2: Manipulative Skill: Over-arm Throw
Observation
While Mikel was at the over-arm throw station, he stood on the spot marker with his right foot forward , he picked up bean bag using his master hand, right hand, from the blue container and attempted to throw the ball into the white container. (The target)
Interpretation on his strength
Mikel is able to look at the target and maintain an eye contact. Bring the beanbag above and behind the ear and transfer body weight to the stepping foot. Mikel bend down, aim and throw the beanbag towards the target.
Interpretation on his weakness
Mikel placed his right foot on the sport marker. His master hand is right hand, hence, he should place his left foot forward.
Positive reinforcements
to motivate learners Mikel was overjoyed when he managed to throw his bean bag into the white container (the target) and teacher praised him, “Good job,” and initiated a high-five with Mikel. Intervention Through observation, Mikel seems to be at transition phase for over-arm throw. Teacher intervened by modelling out for him to place his left foot forward and bend his knees. Teacher helped Mikel to adjust his left foot before attempting his throw. After observing Mikel’s first throw, teacher demonstrated the propulsive skill that involves backward forward swing of the hand. Mikel modelled the teacher and achieved the over-arm throw. As a result, the ball went into the white container (the target).
In lacrosse, the overhead shot is the most vital part of the game and the most important skill that an offensive player can have. The goal of the lacrosse shot is to create a scoring attempt with peak speed and accuracy. Each player is different regarding personal technique; however, the basis of each shot remains the same and are interpreted through six phases. The general purpose of this paper is to describe trunk rotation and its impact on power and accuracy which will maximize the potential of a lacrosse shot.

When one throws a baseball properly they are using there entire body to generate a large force to propel the baseball. A general throwing position starts with a person rotated 90 degrees from there target with there throwing arm 180 degrees from the target and parallel to the ground. The person then starts rotating their body back towards their target while there throwing arm starts bending until it is almost 90 degrees to their elbow, while the arm is bending at the elbow the throwing arm is rotating such that the arm rotates back almost 180 degrees from the target. Meanwhile the person is leaping forward with the leg that was initially pointed at the target while there other leg is planted into the ground. The person is bending at their waist and the other arm is rotating into their body. Around the point where the driving leg strikes the ground the throwing arm is rotating foreword at a tremendous angular speed and the person lets go of the ball. At the point where the ball is let go the persons body pulls the planted leg forward and the throwing arm finishes its motion towards the driving leg.
The first thing that you have to do in your wind up is to step back with your right foot behind the rubber. Second you have to swing you right foot up and balance on your left foot. Finally you have to push your left foot off of the mound while balancing and throw the ball towards the plate. After you throw the ball you have to be in a fielder’s position in case the ball is thrown hit back at you.
Throwing a baseball is a lot like throwing any other object. Children grow up throwing things around the house, and it very similar to how you throw a baseball. From a young age, I grew up throwing objects around the house. My father was smart enough to recognize this trend and sign me up for baseball later on when I was much older. To throw a baseball you first need to understand the shape of the object. The baseball has seams around the circumference which are placed around the outer edges of the baseball for added grip. Before we get into the types of pitches and grips, we need to understand the arm and body movement. The movement of your body and arms happens in many steps that follow a fluid form to increase accuracy
On Danny’s second visit to the hospital, Danny and Reuven talk about matters of common interest. While on the topic of the baseball game, Reuven asks how he learned to hit a ball. “‘I practiced,’ he said. ‘You don’t know how many hours I spent learning how to field and hit a baseball.’” After this statement is avowed, Danny makes the comment to Reuven that he could have ducked the ball. Reuven responds with:
After releasing the ball, the pitching arm continues forward, with their hand ending high and their arm close to their ear, this is known as the follow through. After the follow through, several steps are taken backwards for fielding.
his teammates push mightily against the opposition. His arms are locked over his teammates' shoulders, all of their heads down. The two teams are pushing against each other like two moose fighting over territory. He looks down to see the ball, sitting just in front of his feet. If he could just hook it with his foot and heave it to his teammate behind him…
The game of baseball has several elements of motion to it – throwing, catching, hitting, running – but I’ve chosen to focus on the physics involved in hitting a baseball. To a spectator, the exchange is simple: the pitcher throws the baseball, an opposing batter tries to hit the ball. Even to an athlete, the process is not one of thought, but of instinct and action. However, in actuality, the laws of physics dictate everything that will occur from the moment the baseball leaves the pitcher’s hand. Even the very familiar equipment o...

Humans act in a number of different ways. Whether a habitual activity that seems automatic, or a skilled activity that requires more explicit focus, bodily movements are occurring to reach some goal. What seems to be lost in the shuffle sometimes is human use of and interaction with objects. Dribbling a basketball, throwing the baseball to home plate from a glove, or handing the baton to the anchor in a relay for example are ways that people use objects in sports. This utilization of available objects lends itself to Heidegger’s ready-to-hand concept. Readiness-to-hand is crucial to understanding human action and the nature of athletic agency.
