We were given the task by our former athletic coordinator Craig Pitti who passed away recently. He was a very big part of the community and he is close in my heart. The task he gave us was to make a video explaining how to better one action in a sport. My group made our video about kicking an extra point and a field goal in football. We explained how to do it step by step and explained the physics of kicking it. I play football on the freshman team. Unfortunately our season ended before I could finish the video to show our kicker.

1.Force of Impact (mv=Ft)= A force that delivers a shock or high impact in a relatively short period of time.
2. Vertical Velocity (v vert = ag*t)= The velocity created by gravity (9.8m/s^2)
3. Momentum=the amount of motion of a moving object, measured by multiplying its mass and velocity.
4. Horizontal Velocity (v horiz = d horiz/t)=
5. Velocity =the speed of something in a given direction
6. Distance(d=1/2 a t^2)=an amount of space between two things

Reflection
I learned a lot during this project. I learned how to kick a field goal, skills of cooperation, editing skills, filming skills, agreement compromising skills, leadership skills, and more. This was a very fun project, it combined one of my favorite sports with science which I also love. It was fun making a video, filming things, and putting them in slow motion. In my books, nothing went wrong at all with this project. There were lot of things that went right. Such as having someone who can kick them (Chris who plays soccer) is naturally good at kicking and that was easy that none of the people in my group had to learn how to kick. I feel like our group cooperation worked very well. We agreed on every thing and we all split up the work and did one thing in the project. We were all good with the idea of doing our video on kicking a field goal. I can work on focusing more on school work. During the time of this project, as you know Craig Pitti died and that was hard to deal with, it was the end of my football season so we had a couple away games and I had to miss some of class. And because we edited our video on a phone, it was hard because only one person could edit it, and I hard a hard time doing productive things.
