In this blog, I will briefly describe the physics involved with seven different sports.  I have tried my hand at each of these eight sports at one point or another, so I am interested in figuring out the science behind being successful at each of them.  The eight sports I will post about are baseball, football, ice-hockey, basketball, tennis, golf, and soccer.  The study of the physics of these sports can also be referred to as “sports biomechanics”, which is the branch of physics that deals with analyzing the actions of forces.(1)
