SOCCER AND MATH 

Most sports require or include a lot of math problems that help you accomplish your ultimate goal. In soccer, you use math in everything you do. You use math in passing, heading, shooting, dribbling, crossing, movement of the ball, and a whole lot more. Timing in soccer is everything, a second too soon, or a second too late makes a huge different in accomplishing your goal whether it is passing, crossing, dribbling or what not. Timing when to pass to ball requires quick math solving within a second. You usually calculate how fast the player is going, how fast the defender will cover the space you are willing to pass to, and most importantly, the weight of the pass, just enough that your player will get to it without the opponent closing him down. My coach always says that the better math student you are, the better soccer player you will be.
