 Football

Football is a popular sport in America and worldwide. Many people play the game each
year, and they all have different opinions on the sport. Some love football for its
athleticism and strategy, while others appreciate the community aspect of the game.
Most fans believe that football has many positive physical and mental health
benefits.

Football is governed internationally by the International Federation of Association

Football (FIFA: Fédération Internationale de Football Association), which organizes
World Cups for both men and women every four years. The FIFA World Cup has taken
place every four years since 1930 except for the 1942 and 1946 tournaments, which
were canceled due to World War II. Approximately 190–200 national teams compete in
qualifying tournaments within the scope of continental confederations for a place in
the finals

• History of Football:

Football (or soccer as

the game is called in
some parts of the
world) has a long
history. Football in its
current form arose in
England in the middle
of the 19th century.
But alternative
versions of the game
existed much earlier
and are a part of
football history.
The rules drafted by
the association
allowed clubs to play
each other without dispute and which specifically banned handling of the ball (except
by goalkeepers) and hacking during open field play. After the fifth meeting of the
association a schism emerged between association football and the rules played by
the Rugby school, later to be called rugby football. Football Association Challenge
Cup (FA Cup) became the first important competition when it was run in 1871. The
following year a match between two national teams was played for the first time. The
match that involved England and Scotland ended 0-0 and was followed by 4,000 people
at Hamilton Crescent (the picture shows illustrations from this occasion).

• Rules of the game:

1. A football match is played by two teams, with each allowed no more than 11
players on the field at any one time, one of whom is a goalkeeper.
2. A match is played in two 45 minute halves.
3. The game begins with the toss of a coin, and the winning captain decides which
goal to defend or to take the first kick off.
4. All players must use their feet, head or chest to play the ball. Only the
goalkeeper is allowed to use their hands, and only within their designated goal
area.
5. The aim of the game is to score a goal, which is achieved by kicking or heading
the ball into the opposition team's goal.
6. If the ball touches or crosses the sideline, it is thrown back in by the team that
was not the last to touch the ball.
7. The game is controlled by a central referee, and two linesmen. They award free
kicks and penalties when rules are broken. For continual breaking of rules or
for a bad foul, the player may be sent off.
8. For fouls committed a player could receive either a yellow or red card
depending on the severity of the foul. The yellow is a warning, and a red card is
a dismissal of that player. Two yellow cards will equal one red. Once a player is
sent off then they cannot be replaced.
9. If a ball goes out of play off an opponent in either of the side lines, then it is
given as a throw-in. If it goes out of play off an attacking player on the
baseline, then it is a goal kick. If it comes off a defending player, it is a corner
kick.

• Fundamental skills used in the game:

8
 1. Technique – Ball control, Dribbling skills, Passing accuracy, Body control
2. Game intelligence – Spatial awareness, Tactical knowledge, Risk assessment
3. Physical fitness – Endurance, Balance and coordination, Speed, Strength and
power
4. Proper mindset – Compassion, Composure and mental strength, Coachability,
Self-motivation
Technique
Technique is perhaps the most visibly obvious element to success in football. Even an amateur can recognize
good technique. Do they have good ball control? Are they fast with the ball at their feet? Can they dribble
through their opponents? Do they pass to feet? Join a summer soccer camp to practice good technique.

Game intelligence

Game intelligence is measured by a player’s ability to make smart decisions on the pitch and make them
quickly. A smart footballer aims to keep the game as clean as possible, minimizing energy expenditure while
maximizing results. Essentially, game intelligence implies playing smarter, not harder. Sign up for a summer
soccer camp to learn how to be an intelligent player.

Physical fitness
Physical fitness is another essential element to achieving success in football; a football match lasts for 90 – 95
minutes with very few subs. According to Livestrong, midfielders run an average of over 11 kilometers per
match. Wingers perform the most “high-intensity” runs averaging nearly 150 sprints of at least 75% of their full
speed per match. Apart from goalkeepers, center-backs run the least but still average 9.5 kilometers per match.

Proper mindset
Proper mindset is the final key to achieving success in football. To really achieve success, footballers have to
put all their heart and soul into their sport.

• Famous personalities:

the distinction of being the first European to score 100
international goals.

Lionel Messi: Considered one of the

best football players in the world and a prolific
goal scorer, Lionel Messi has shattered and
created numerous records in his playing career.
Regarded by another soccer legend, Diego
Maradona, as his successor, the Argentinian
superstar is also one of the world’s highest paid
athletes.

Diego Maradona
Nicknamed The Golden Boy, Diego Maradona is

Paschimottanasana – The Forward Bend
Yogic Pose

Paschimottanasana or the seated forward bend pose gives a complete stretch to the back
muscles. In Sanskrit ‘Paschima’ means ‘west’ or ‘back’ and ‘uttana’ means ‘stretch’ or
‘extended’. Paschimottanasana gives an intense stretch to all the back muscles.
Paschimottanasana is one of the main asanas mentioned in the hatha yogic text ‘Hatha
Yoga Pradipika’, written by Swatmarama, a disciple of Yogi Gorakhnath (one of the main
nine Gurus of the Navnath Tradition).

A practitioner who performs Paschimottanasana

gets a very flexible body. Most yoga enthusiasts
need to learn this slowly over a period of time. The
back muscles are usually a little stiff in adults.
Children have a flexible back and can do this easily.
Paschimottanasana is done with a total forward bend
in the sitting position, with the hands clutching the
toes and the head or nose touching the gap between the legs. In the initial stages, one
should only bend to the extent that one can. The hands may not reach the toes or the head
need not touch the legs. That’s all right. With practice, the body can be made flexible
enough to reach the final position.

13
 1. After performing Paschimottanasana, it is good to do any backward bending
asana as a counter stretch. Alternatively, this asana can be used as a counter
stretch for any of the backward bending asanas like Chakrasana, Dhanurasana,
etc.
2. This asana can also be practiced by starting in the lying down position with
hands stretched behind the head. From this position, one has to slowly rise up

or sea lest you may get injured or get drowned. You may experiment this safely
in a swimming pool, if you have someone to monitor you. With some practice
you will be able to achieve this position in the water itself. You will find that the
body sort of floats on water. The trick to this is to gulp a little air and fill your
lungs so that floatation is achieved. With skill you will be able to keep the head

B. ANAPANA

Anapana Sati, meaning mindfulness of

breathing (“sati” means mindfulness,
“ānāpāna” refers to breathing) is a basic form
of meditation taught by the Buddha.
According to the Buddha’s teaching in the
anapanasati Sutra, practicing mindfulness of
breathing meditation as a part of the Noble
Eightfold Path leads to the removal of all

26
defilements (kleśas) and finally the attainment of Nibbana. Buddha‘s
teaching was based on his own experience in using anapanasati as part
of his means of achieving his own enlightenment. However,
mindfulness of breath should be practiced along with mettā bhāvanā so
one does not withdraw from the world and lose emotional attachment
and compassion (Kamalashila 1996).

The anapanasati Sutra is specifically about the mindfulness of

in-and-out breathing. It recommends the practice of ānāpānasati
meditation as a means of cultivating the seven factors of awakening:
mindfulness, discernment, and persistence, which leads to rapture
(pīti), then to calm (sukha), which in turn leads to concentration and
then to equanimity (ṣanti). Finally, the Buddha taught that with these
factors developed in this progression, that the practice of ānāpānasati
would lead to release or nirvana.

Anapanasati meditation is normally practiced either in conjunction

with vipassanā meditation, with zazen, or zen meditation in the soto
Zen tradition (shikantaza). However, before the meditator can use
vipassana, the meditator must first develop enough concentration
using anapanasati meditation to be able undertake vipassana
meditation.

SEWA

Write a note on how you are trying to contribute to the society

in this pandemic.

Due to the lockdown imposed by the government in order to curb the

spread of covid-19, we could not call the people who gave us daily
services to our home like cleaners for nearly two months. We provided
them with necessary sanitary products like face masks, gloves,
sanitizers so that they could keep themselves and their family safe. We
made them familiar with the covid-19 safety protocols and also taught
them the importance of social distance and wearing masks in public,
because nobody can fight this virus alone, we need to always be united
and give a combined effort if we want to win this fight.

Are you helping your parents in daily chores?

I try helping my parents with daily chores. It is very important to help

our parents because we need to understand that due to the lockdown,
the workload on their head has increased manifolds and it is physically
as well as mentally impossible for one person to do so much work in
one day and keep on repeating it every single day.

Are you an alert citizen?

28
I try to educate everyone about this virus and why they should not
take it casually. I try to teach everybody the importance of wearing
masks and practicing social distancing in public, especially to those
who have started taking this virus lightly and are not following the
standard protocols while in public.

Are you an aware citizen?

I try my best to be an aware citizen. I keep track of the covid-19 cases in

my locality, my state and my country. I try to avoid as well as I tell my
family members to avoid stepping into any containment or red zones
marked by the government unless it is very urgent. I wear a mask,
follow social distancing and sanitize myself frequently while out in
public.

How do you deal with stress in this period?

Feeling stressed and anxious is very normal given the new circumstances, so I try
to be stress-free most of the time and I have a variety of methods to cope-up with
stress. My family and I play indoor games like chess, carrom or indoor cricket
frequently to avoid stress and relax ourselves. My friends and I do a video call
every now and then, to talk with each other, keep up with each other’s physical
and mental health and to provide support to each other. If I feel too stressed, I go
for a walk early in the morning in an isolated place with few people while
following all the protocols. My friends and I also play a lot of online games on
weekend to take our mind off studies and to stress less about it
