We love sports, we cheer for our favorite teams and athletes. Sports memes are trending on the internet and give us a lighthearted escape from the intensity of the game.

Whether it's a comical image capturing an athlete's epic fail or a clever caption encapsulating a fan's frustration, sports memes have the ability to captivate and resonate with millions across the globe.

So, buckle up, sports enthusiasts and meme aficionados, and join us on a journey through the records of sports memes as we examine the best of them here. Let the games begin!

Behind good performance in sports stands the psychology of it. According to psychology teacher Saul Mcleod, "Sports psychology is the study of psychological factors that influence athletic performance and how participation in sports and exercise can affect the psychological and physical well-being of athletes." Researchers working in this field study how athletic performance can be optimized and mood/stress levels can be improved.

After that crash, Alonso said that he climbed that quick out of the car so his mom, who watched the GP on TV would know he was OK.

It is not only the professional athletes that sports psychologists work with. They help coaches, performers, organizations or generally anyone who exercises. It can be considered mental training alongside physical training and this combination is crucial in achieving athletic goals.

😂😂 I saw this sign on Smackdown last week. I cried, laughing as I, too, would use that sign. I just want them all to have fun I don't really care about the technicalities.

By the end of the game, one team has had more fun than the other. Except in soccer; both teams frequently have the same amount of fun.

I like her attitude! There should be much more of this! I only ever really enjoyed playing tennis when I found a team with that attitude. I played so much better then and had so much more fun! Its also what skateboarding amd snowboarding are* all about (*or at least should be)

The techniques of sports psychology include goal setting, pre-performance routines, self-talk and progressive muscle relaxation. Goal setting is self explanatory. The important thing is that they're measurable and realistic. Pre-performance routines are athletes' actions or behaviors that they implement before the show/performance. They increase stability and predictability. Self-talk is similar. It involves inner thoughts and monologues. Progressive muscle relaxation is alternating between tensing and relaxing muscles. It helps lower blood pressure, decrease stress and anxiety.

There are many unheard of and funny sports with people engaging in hilarious feats that you've never seen before. They push the boundaries of what you thought was possible. For example, bathtubbing - racing in bathtubs. They can have a propeller or be paddled like a canoe. There are world championships of this unusual sport with many cheering fans.

In the last world ice hockey championship, Latvian ice hockey player fell (or someone hit him), got off the ice, pulled out his tooth and after few minutes was back in the game.

Another unheard of competition is the 'Baby Olympics', where young kids between the ages of 2-4 participate in various competitions. It was held by the Bahrain Olympic Committee in 2018 in order to inspire kids to get into sports. There were crawling and walking contests, and some more traditional ones like gymnastics, football, and basketball.

The last funny sport: the beer mile. It is a race where you have to run a mile while drinking a beer. It first took place in Canada, in 1989. The drink has to be a 12 US ounce (300 ml) can of beer, of at least 5% alcohol. The one who first finishes the mile and their drink wins.

It is often said that winning silver is worse than winning Bronze as you were so close to getting the gold that you've worked your whole career for.

I took my father-in-law to watch the All Blacks playing somebody in differnet shirts, it was freezing with that light drizzle(drifting rain) and that slowly soaks you too the bone. I got to marry his only daughter, so it was worth it.

I do understand where the term soccer comes from, but never quite understood why Americans call their sport "football" when 95% of the play time you don`t use your feet to kick the ball.
