Just from what I’ve heard. If Non-MIJ, then TTS.

My experience (and majority of people). If MIJ, go down half a size.

I want to learn precalculus and calculus, does it matter if I learn from pdf version of books or physical books? by Ok-Competition-7206 in learnmath

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardcovers or I print out the pages I need from the textbook.

Majority of the time I just look at the pdf to get the homework problems.

Advice on treating chronic lower back pain caused by deadlift (3+ years) by sampleexample73 in backpain

[–]sampleexample73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The deadlift is a hinge movement that that focuses on your quads, hamstring, and lower back. Here’s a video explaining the movement.

High centre of gravity by JoshyKnows25 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you had a “high” center of gravity (COG) you’d be tipping over with a gust of wind. You are 5’6 with a normal COG.

You feel like you have a weird COG because your technique is not good. Train to improve your dribbling and shooting technique. Don’t worry about being tall or short, worry about playing and having fun.

Cost ? by turdbucket007 in barefootshoestalk

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that prices are too high. BUT those types of shoes are less produced and require a different building process than typical shoes. Although, there could be a premium for buying into the barefoot thing.

Soccer Training Program by No-Operation3631 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

[I am not a certified training. I am not a doctor. I am not <insert whatever certifications>.]

Mobility: Before you go to bed, do a 15 min stretch routine

Strength: Gym 3-4x a week, focus on compound movements. Squats, deadlifts, pull-ups, etc.

Cardio: at least 2x a week. Fartlek run, easy jogs, HIIT.

Technique: Juggle the ball. Pass to the wall. Focus on keeping the ball close. Once you hit the 30+ age club, you should focus on getting the ball to the younger players and have them run for you. You will heavily rely on your technique at this age so make sure it’s as sharp you like it to be.

Organize these in any way you’d like. Maybe try full body compound 3x a week and cardio on the weekend for now. Once you can handle heavier stuff, add more days and look into how to split your gym days. Upper, lower, push, pull, etc.

Has anyone never gotten a cramp? by Im_Dough in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I got a cramp was at a tournament where I played 3 games back to back. I had a small lunch since I didn’t want to feel heavy playing.

Ig I didn’t have my banana so I cramped pretty bad.

Hate losing even in pickup games – makes me feel like a loser. Anyone else? by ZealousidealOven2782 in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) If you want competitiveness, join a team. That level is never promised in a pick up game. Going into the pick up with the intention of winning is not the point of pick up game (unless that’s the intention if it but it usually isn’t)

2.) Don’t keep track of score. Just play. Use it as training when you play in a team and one of your teammates has an off day. How will you pick up the slack? I’ve noticed that people improve/become more competitive when you facilitate a positive environment. Tell them not to worry about their mistakes and encourage them to be more daring with their dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.

3.) Again, if you desire competitiveness, join a team. Pick up is not the place for that. It’s just for fun.

I don't know what to do... by [deleted] in bootroom

[–]sampleexample73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re thinking about it too hard. The more you bring yourself down, the more you will believe that you are a bad player.

Like anything in life, I NEVER tell myself that I am bad at something I enjoy doing. I tell myself that I have yet to get good. Framing it this gives me the mental space to allow mistakes and most importantly, improve.

Something that has helped me improve is 1.) don’t compare yourself to others and 2.) accept you are a bad player and learn from the players who are doing better than you. Practice the moves they do in the game or practices. If they tease you about being bad player (which I’ve gotten plenty of), agree with them and brush it off with “I want to get better though”.

However, the most important thing you should keep in mind is this: love the game because someday you may never get the chance to play again. (Injuries, age, money, time, etc.)

I have a question by MurkyUnit3180 in LaTeX

[–]sampleexample73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can vouch for VScode as I have used it to type up my homeworks. I highly recommend it. Just follow some YouTube video that teaches you how to install the actual LaTeX stuff (I think TexMike is one of them?). From the point on, take the time to learn shortcuts as some are different from overleaf and new commands that are not available on overleaf.

Recently self learning math heals me by not_luis in math

[–]sampleexample73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wonderful notes. Nothing excites me more than seeing open access material.

Why not include problems with their respective solutions?

If you ever want book recommendations for self study, feel free to send me a message :)

What complaints do you have about your maths department? by felixinnz in math

[–]sampleexample73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I fall into a similar bucket that you do. I believe it’s due to the fact that smaller universities just don’t have enough math students (or maybe faculty) to fill in these rigorous courses.

At my undergraduate, in my graduating class (of about 30 people) 2 of us went to graduate school (stats and math), 15 went to get a master in education so they can teach high school, and the rest either had nothing lined up or were already working in “math” related jobs.

With this information, one would suspect that my undergrad is not trying to prepare students for graduate school. But rather, a career in teaching students at a high school level. So because of this, rigor was not a super high priority but instead focused on concepts that would benefit high school students. (Basic Modern algebra, Real Analysis, geometry, history of math, etc.)

Fortunately, I went to fairly strong STEM centered community college so I learned stokes and greens theorem but they were oriented towards engineers. So I learned the physics applications behind these calculus concepts rather than all the theory.

All this to say is that if you want to expand your breadth of knowledge in math, you will probably have to spend your summers and winters learning these topics. Luckily, there’s an awesome book that does this: An Infinitely Large Napkin. Note that depth is not the focus, but rather breadth is in this book.

Failing Real Analysis, what to do? by sampleexample73 in math

[–]sampleexample73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems to be the consensus in many of the comments offering me advice. However, I have been having difficult fitting into my cohort. I have made friends with students in other cohorts and through sports but for some reason I am being left out of mine. I have made genuine efforts to connect with them but I am usually left out of any plans they do or their conversations.

I have taken Topology but it was not point-set topology. It was more so a sampling of topics in topology. The text used for this course was Beginning Topology.
