Tutorial five: YouTube

YouTube

YouTube is a video sharing website, which users can upload and share videos. It has been going since 2005 and is now run by google.

This post will convey a general topic which i am interested in. The topic which i have decided to introduce to you is hockey. I am going to use Youtube clips to build a picture of what hockey is, the skills, the tricks and so on.

Here i go......



I could bore you all with basic skills, how to trap, how to hit, and how to pass but I've decided to show you some interesting clips which i feel represents hockey in an exciting manner.


Hockey has come a long way since it first started, sticks are no longer made of wood, uniforms have trasticly changed and above all its faster. My first clip is about a cructial part of the game... GOAL SCORING!! 





Pental corners, also known as PC's are a well structured, thought out area within hockey. Which brings me to my next clip. 


TIP: If you didn't already know... 


If your youtube clip is taking a while to load and your either too bored and impatient to wait, simply click in the middle of the video (where the loading circle is going round), press either the up, down, left or the right arrow on your keyboard, a white dot will appear of the screen on your video and its time to play SNAKE. A 'worm' like figure, which is controlled by you and your arrows will get bigger/longer with every white dot that you eat. Have fun... Avoid  hitting yourself or the edges.. Unfortunately you will die tehe- Youtube creators really did think of everything. 







Following on from goal scoring is defending, being a defender myself this sum's up what I do during a game. So, lets see how I roll 





Ive shown you clips of different aspects of the game, however here is one which shows off what skills individuals have developed, away from the field. 






And now for my final.... 







"Absolutely Everybody"... Two words which I believe best describes the game. As shown in the clip, it expresses that no matter your age, where you come from, your experience, or even the number involved, EVERYBODY can play. No matter the reason one is playing, hockey is an occupation which serves many meaningful purposes.
