The Save

Instantly Casey raised her hand, she feared she had made an awful mistake.

“OK,” Coach said. “Casey will be goalie (守门员) in the fourth quarter.”

Casey nodded uneasily. She had just joined the Eagles. Now she had volunteered to be goalie, a position that required confidence, which she lacked.

Casey swallowed hard when taking her turn in front of the goal for pre game warm-ups. The goal suddenly looked as big as a movie screen.

When Casey jogged over to her dad near the sidelines, she said quietly, “I cannot do it.”, blinking back tears. “Sure you can,” Dad encouraged her. “Just keep your head up and be aggressive (好斗的). You might surprise yourself.”

The game kicked off and Casey’s teammates scored three quick goals. Clearly, they were the better team mostly because their opponents’ best player was at a piano recital (演奏会). At halftime the Eagles led, 4 to 0. But then she noticed the Comets’ star, number 25 racing toward the field. The piano recital had ended.

Number 25 was flashing across the field, dribbling (带球) past defenders. She zipped past several players and kicked the ball hard into the goal. It was 4 to 1. Two minutes later, number 25 intercepted (拦截) a pass and weaved down (穿行) the field, controlling the ball as if it were tied to her foot. She scored again. It was 4 to 2.

Casey felt her stomach tighten. Soon she would be the one helplessly guarding the goal.

The whistle went. Number 25 scored a third time. The Eagles led by one goal.

“OK, Casey,” Coach said as the Eagles huddled up before the fourth quarter. “You go in goal.”

Casey stood in front of the net. She yelled for her teammates, who were dominating the game again. They hadn’t scored, but Casey hadn’t had to make any saves either. Number 25 appeared to be tired.

Casey’s heart raced whenever the ball came. But each time it was kicked away. Now there were two minutes left. “Hurry up,” Casey thought. “If I never have to touch the ball, we’ll win the game. I’ll never ...”

7 . If you're a sports enthusiast, you know the weight that home field advantage has on the performance of a team.     1     What gives any team an upper hand when they're playing at a home venue?

Crowd Effect

Crowd effect is one of the main causes behind home field advantage in sports. Imagine that you're walking into a stadium surrounded by people cheering for you.     2     Now, imagine that you are a member of the opposition. You have no support from the crowd and are basically on your own. One might argue that professional athletes are expert at staying focused and not letting such things affect them, but that isn't really the case.

Judge Bias

    3    All the cheering of the fans can pressure the referee into being more tolerant towards the home team. Meanwhile, the number of attacks on referees by angry fans cannot be overlooked. In an attempt to avoid making the crowd angry, referees tend to have a small bias in favor of the home team, leading them to call fewer fouls on them, give them more free kicks, etc.

Travel Effect and Familiarity

Traveling long distances puts athletes under physical and psychological stress. This is especially true in the case of inter-continental matches, during which athletes must travel into different time zones, leaving them defenseless against jet-lag. On the other hand, the home team stays in its comfort zone, without having to undergo any disruption in their regular schedules.     4    

Is There a Home Disadvantage?

The massive crowd support that the home team enjoys does come with a side effect performance pressure. The crowd greatly motivate athletes to perform better and achieve greater success.     5     The athletes' focus may get shifted from success to a fear of failure, thereby making them overcautious.

A．The cheering will greatly boost their confidence.

B．They applaud and celebrate every shot you take.

C．However, it may sometimes have the opposite effect.

D．Home field advantage is caused by many factors affecting athletes.

E．Therefore, the home team gets an upper hand over the visiting team.

F．It has been consistently found that players win more often when playing at home.

G．The massive crowd support that a home team gets often puts the judges in a tough spot.
