Reflection on Rant!

After reading a few online articles about the physical demands and physical nature of soccer I have not changed my view at all. I still believe that soccer is one of, if not the most physically demanding sport in the world. I also still believe that soccer is a physical sport, contrary to the belief of a lot of Americans. I really did not need to read any articles about these issues because I have had first hand experience, though the articles I read did reinforce my thinking. I read one article from ussoccer.com that was pretty interesting. It was about how coaches track each player’s movements on the field during a match. The coach tracks when a player is walking, running, running with the ball, and many other movements that the player could have during a match. Reading this article truly did reinforce my current belief that soccer is demanding. A soccer player must have great fitness or will be unable to play soccer the way it’s meant to be played.

Reading the articles did not affect where I was going to post my rant because I was always going to post it as a blog. I am not an avid user of twitter or Facebook or any others social media sites, so those are out of the question. I also have no idea how to make and post a video to YouTube, so that’s out of the question as well. So all I had left was to make a blog post.

This is the article about how the coaches track the movements of players.
