Sports Icon

Michael Jeffrey Jordan (born Feb. 17,

1963), also known by his initials, MJ, is
considered the greatest basketball player
of all time, But before he reached where
he is right now, he went through one of
his life’s lowest times. He was cut from
varsity basketball team. He pushed
himself to be better by practicing harder
to improve his skills and understand the
game better. The rest is history as he
dominated the highest level of
professional basketball and went on to
become a sports icon.
SPORTS…………….
–It is any activity that
requires physical actions
and skills where
individuals or teams
compete under a set of
rules
 Classification of Sports
1. Individual Sports – played
by one participant on each
competing side.
2. Dual Sports – are played
by two competing pairs.
3. Team Sports – are played
with three or more players
 What is the difference of
individual/dual sports vs. team
sports?
Individual sports foster a
higher amount of discipline,
self confidence, focus, and
passion. The individual
player is solely responsible
for winning or losing;
succeeding or failing.
In team sports, many variables
are considered to determine
the success or failure of the
team. Although individual
qualities and skills are helpful,
performance will not rely on a
single talent. A team’s
performance or success
depends on the collective effort
of all its players.
What does one need to
know in playing sports?
1. History – the inventor of
the sport, country of region,
and development of the
game.
2. Court Dimensions/Venue
- where the games are
played (indoor, outdoor, or
both), size, different designs
for male or female, and
safety procedures for the
player.
3. Equipment and Gear
– proper protective gears,
uniforms, and outfits which
also involve safety of
players and the officials.
4. Technical and Tactical
Skills – technical skills are
the basics of playing the
game while tactical skills are
the strategies to take
advantage during the game.
5. Rules of the Game –
set of rules on how the
game is played, violations,
penalties, how to score
points, how many players
are allowed, etc.
6. Officiating – officials of
the game, their duties, and
responsibilities of calling
for violations, penalties,
points, and regulating fair
play.
TECHNICAL AND
TACTICAL
SKILLS
IN PLAYING
SPORTS
TECHNICAL SKILLS
These are the basic of
fundamental skills
needed to play the
game. These are
required in all sports.
 TACTICAL SKILLS
These are the decision-making
skills or strategies used in
different situations during the
game. These may vary
depending on the trainer or
coach, skill level of an athlete,
or the strength and
weaknesses of the opposing

 What are the health-
related and skill-related
fitness in sports/ physical
activity?
 Health-Related Physical
Fitness

- are the aerobic capacity,

muscular strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility, and
body composition of an
individual.
Skill-Related Physical Fitness
- is sometimes called
sports fitness or motor
fitness. It is called as such

performance in motor
skills.
- the components of
skill-related physical
fitness are agility,
balance, coordination,
power, reaction time,
and speed.
 The body’s healing process:
From the moment of injury, your body
goes to work to repair the damage.
At the moment of injury, chemicals
are released from damaged cells,
triggering a process called
inflammation. Blood
vessels at the injury site
become dilated, blood
flow increases to carry
nutrients to the site of
tissue damage.
 The body’s healing process:
Within hours of injury, white blood
cells travel to the injury site to tear
down and remove damaged tissue,
allowing other specialized cells to
start developing scar tissue.
Within days of injury, scar tissue
forms on the skin inside the body.
The damaged area will increase in
strength as scar tissue continues to
form.
 The body’s healing process:
Within a month of injury, scar tissue
may start to shrink, bringing damaged
torn or separated tissues back
together. However it may be several
months before the injury is completely
healed.
 RICER
To care for an injury, use RICER:
– Rest (don’t put weight on the injured limb)

– Ice (15 minutes on, 15 minutes off)

– Compression (to push out swelling)

– Elevation (raising the injured limb

higher than your heart)

– Referral (see a qualified professional to

assess the injury)
 HARM

Avoid these HARM-ful factors for 72

hours after the injury:
Heat – increases bleeding
Alcohol – delays healing, masks pain
and severity of the injury
Running – causes further damage
Massage – increases bleeding and
swelling
Manage an injury with
TOTAPS
 Talk
Ask the player what
happened.

“Where does it
hurt?”

“What kind of pain is

it?”
 Observe
Look at the affected area for redness and
swelling.

Is the injured side different from the other

side?
 Touch
Touch will indicate warmth for
inflammation.

Touch also assesses pain.

 Active Movement
Ask the injured player to move the
injured part without any help
 Passive Movement
If the player can move the injured
part, carefully try to move it yourself
through it’s full range of motion.

Do not continue if extreme pain is

experienced with this movement.
 Skill Test
Did the active and passive movement
produce pain?

If no, can the player stand and

demonstrate some of the skills of the
game carefully?

If an injury is identified, remove the

player from the activity immediately.
 How can injury be prevented?
Sports injuries can be prevented
by looking at the following 3
categories:
1. The environment of a particular
sport
2. Fitness levels
3. Protective wear
