"Go back to the library and to your schoolbooks," one of them said at the first practice. "You don't know how to kick a ball." I could feel that my teammates didn't think much of me. They didn't pass me the ball and they tried to make me look bad in front of the coach. Well, yesterday, I kicked the winning goal forthe team. We were tied 2-2 with one minute left to go when our right fielder made a comer kick. I trapped the ball and then kicked it into the net. All the guys cheered, rushed toward me and slapped my back. Iwas really proud of myselfand, for the first time, I felt part of the team, After the game, the captain of the team turned to me and said, "Hey Jack. Where did you lear to kick like that? You're something special." He was particularly happy because we had won the game against a bigger and stronger team. I'm going to work extra hard in practice this week. I want to be ready for the playoffs. This time my teammates are going to pass me the ball. 22/1/01 Today is the third day of our hike. Alaska is amazing. I can't believe that we're actually hiking on the Chilkoot Pass. It's the same trail* that the gold miners used to take in search of gold in the 1800s. It was called the "meanest* thirty-two miles" in the country. But that was when the miners traveled in the winter with their dog sleds and equipment. We are traveling light. I have everything I need in my backpack: food, a pot, water, bug spray, a camera, amap, a compass, matches and a change of clothes, I have only one change of clothes for the whole week! Yesterday, as we crossed a small river, I missed one of the rocks and fell into the water. Luckily, we reached the campsite an hour later and I put my wet clothes near the fire to dry. The best part of our hike today was the climb to the top of Mount Teton, We climbed over rocks and boulders. I was dead tired by the time we reached the summit. But all the hard work was worth it.

These spectators could be sitting the bat) ina stadium or at home in front of the TV. Sport is as much for the spectators as it Scr is forthe athlet 2 The chapters of this book show that sport is not only one of the greate shows on earth, but also one of the greatest shows in time. Sport has always been a show, The torch lighting ceremony that opens the modern Olympic Games is a tradition from the early Olympic Games, These games began in 776 B.C.E.* and lasted for hundreds of years. People from all over the ancient world came to watch the Games. At first, the ancient Games had only a few events and they took place on one day. Later, they became bigger and lasted for five days, including popular events, such as chariot racing. 3 Sport became even more of a show during Roman times. At that time, sport ‘was popular entertainment for everyone. Tens of thousands of people watched the chariot races and the gladiatorial combats. Different colors were used to identify the Roman chariot teams. This is similar to the way in which colors are used today to identify basketball and football teams and fans. 4 Some smaller sports shows can be as exciting as the bigger spect sports events held in the small villages in Europe in the Middle Ages attracted crowds. It is possible to imagine the villagers cheering and clapping to encourage the runners as they set off from the starting line. These shows were probably very much like today's games in a city neighborhood, where spectators come to support a local team, friend, or family member. 5 There are many reasons why sports are such a great show. Fans love to see their team winning. They love to encourage their team by singing and waving flags, hats and scarves, together with other fans. Even when watching a game at home on TY, a serious fan will jump up and yell when a goal is scored. Some people enjoy watching a favorite player. For example, Michael Jordan, a famous NBA player in the 1990s, attracted crowds of fans. 6 It is clear, however, that many people watch sport just because they enjoy watching it. They love the color and sounds and movement and the special feeling in the air. All through history, people have been attracted to the spectacle of sport—and this is what this book is about. *B.C.E.—"Before the Christian Era," before the year 0.The Greatest Show € The Gr In the year 500, the Chinese play a kind of football using a ball stuffed with hair.
