    UPTEC F 15068 Examensarbete 30 hp December 2015 Analysis and visualization of collective motion in football Analysis of youth football using GPS and visualization of professional football Emil Rosén Abstract Analysis and visualization of collective motion in football Emil Rosén Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten Football is one of the biggest sports in the world. Professional teams track their player's positions using GPS (Global Positioning System). This report is divided into Besöksadress: two parts, both focusing on applying collective motion to football. Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 Hus 4, Plan 0 The goal of the first part was to both see if a set of cheaper GPS units could be used to analyze the collective motion of a youth football team. 15 football players did two Postadress: experiments and played three versus three football matches against each other while Box 536 751 21 Uppsala wearing a GPS. The first experiment measured the player's ability to control the ball while the second experiment measured how well they were able to move together as Telefon: a team. Different measurements were measured from the match and Spearman 018 – 471 30 03 correlations were calculated between measurements from the experiments and Telefax: matches. Players which had good ball control also scored more goals in the match and 018 – 471 30 00 received more passes. However, they also took the middle position in the field which naturally is a position which receives more passes.

Each toy included in this kit has its own story, design, and body of tricks. Most of them have a lower barrier to entry than juggling, and the following lessons of good posture, mindfulness, problem solving, and goal setting apply to all. Before getting started with any of the skill toys, it is important to remember to relax. Stand with legs shoulder width apart, bend your knees, and take deep breaths. Many of them require you to absorb energy. We have found that the more stressed a player is, the more likely he/she will be to struggle. Not surprisingly, adults tend to have this problem more than kids. If you have players getting frustrated, remind them to relax. Playing should be fun! Also, remind yourself and other players that even the drops or mess-ups can give us valuable information. If they observe what is happening when they attempt to use the skill toys, they can use this information to problem solve.

  • Wildfire: a Warm Welcome Home
    Wildfire: A Warm Welcome Home For all the places I have traveled and the communities I have been a part of, many have come close, but none equal that of the family of Wildfire. I was a stranger in a strange world for only mere minutes. This retreat into the woods of Connecticut brings together the flow arts community of fire-breathers, fire- spinners, jugglers and other live performers from across the country to teach and learn from one another. Even more importantly, it’s a place for open-minded individuals of all ages and backgrounds to support and push each other through life. I don’t spin any fire and can barely hold my pen without dropping it. That didn’t matter to one of my best friends, Dani Rei, who has been attending this event for the past seven seasons (there are two to three retreats a year for this event). She gave me a green contact juggling ball to practice with and eventually gave me my own red one. She encouraged me to come along and experience something fresh and positive. Positive it was! One of the first people I met was a long-time attendee named Patrick. He greeted me and when he learned it was my first time, he gave me a big hug and said, “Welcome home.” Even Dani Rei had a similar experience her first time. “I was so nervous at how they would react to me. I’ve only been spinning for about year,” she said. “I remember everyone telling me, ‘Welcome home.’ Most of them were excited for me, encouraged me and offered to teach me a trick right on the spot.” Everyone camps out in tents at J.N.

  • How Circus Training Can Enhance the Well-Being of Autistic Children and Their Families
    How circus training can enhance the well-being of autistic children and their families Kristy Danialle Seymour BA Creative Arts School of Humanities Griffith University Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts and Media with Honours July 2012 Abstract This project is concerned with how circus training can benefit children diagnosed on the autistic spectrum and, in turn, their families. Many “special needs” children spend a great deal of time in physiotherapy, speech therapy, osteopathic therapy, occupational therapy and behavioural therapy. The thesis explores how circus can open up a new world to such children, enabling them to take risks, physically and emotionally; to stretch the capacities of their bodies in an environment that enriches their social development. Not only do they gain in strength, coordination and physical awareness, they can also gain confidence, opportunities for creative expression and a sense of “fitting in”. For the parents and siblings of children with autism, circus training sessions provide respite and a chance to enjoy seeing their family member becoming involved with other children and achieving things that might not have seemed within their capabilities. There are frequently flow-on effects through improvements in autistic children’s skills and behaviours in daily life. Families can also become part of the “circus family” – sharing a sense of community with other families who understand the challenges that accompany life with an autistic child: a sense of isolation in the wider community, the frustrations, embarrassments and feelings of being judged. In the circus community, parents never need to apologise for their child in the same breath as introducing themselves.
