Science of the Summer Olympics Science Behind Soccer, Volleyball, Cycling, and Other Popular Sports by Stephanie Watson
Behind every Summer Olympic scoring soccer kick, tennis-ball bounce, and hard-hitting volleyball serve, science is at work. The type of kick used on a soccer ball affects its path. An equestrian leans forward during a jump to help the horse balance. Cyclists wear tight clothing to reduce drag. Find out how science is involved in several popular Summer Olympic events and how athletes take science into account in their quest for the gold medal.The Mind, The Motion is written by Stephanie Watson. She struggled with her weight for years before writing her book. She used to diet and exercise but never got the desired results. Every fad diet she tried yielded only temporary results. That was depressing and discouraging, and she developed an unhealthy relationship with food as a result. She learnt the power of positivism is just as strong as the power of knowledge when it comes to weight loss after earning a degree in psychology and a certification as a personal trainer.
