In sports there are many levels of anticipation. There is anticipation from the fans, anticipation of the players, and most of all anticipation of the outcome of a team or individual. To ask which sports use anticipation would be like asking, which sports use players? The answer is, they all do. To properly answer this question there are many aspects of sports that you will need to analyze but I will try to limit my answer to a few.
First, to have anticipation you must have an expectation, foreknowledge, or intuition about a particular event or outcome. In simplest terms, you are expecting something to happen. In sports there are many predictions or expectations about outcomes and that is why we often see gambling associated with many sports. Anticipation builds on many sports fans excitement and thus makes the sport more enjoyable and entertaining. In baseball, fans will cheer for their home team or favorite team and speculate on how the outcome of a game will end. Often sports fans will be optimistic about the outcome of their team and thus, anticipate that they will win. Spectators will sit on the edges of their seats awaiting the hitter to hit a home run, or for the pitcher to strike the batter out. So one could say, fans anticipate that there will be an outcome favorable to their preferences. If their preference is to see their favorite player hit a home run, they will wait in anticipation that their player will indeed hit a home run. Fans will also anticipate a larger event such as winning a single game, a series of games and coming out first in their division, or to win a championship game which would mark a season end. Another example would be in tennis, not always a team game but fans will still anticipate an outcome for a player. Fans would anticipate that their player will win a round, series, or championship match. Fans also anticipate other events such as a retirement, a player to recover from injury, or for a player to return next year to attempt to win again.
Anticipation is a key ingredient in the excitement of sports, the question asked, what will happen? Will they win or lose? Will the drug tests come back negative? Will he succeed in the finals? Will she become the first female player to win in this event? There are questions that we are asked or ask ourselves all the time in sports and we use what knowledge we have to put together an expectation about those events as fans. Anticipation also lies with the player playing the sport; they ask themselves, do I have what it takes? Will we win this year? Am I going to heal on time for the game? Will I have a chance next year? Anticipation goes hand in hand with many aspects of many sports. In a way anticipation is half of the excitement behind the sport itself. Any sports player or sports fan who yells out after a goal or point will know that the time leading up to that event is just as exciting as the actual event itself.

All team activities require anticipation. A purpose keeper has to think of wherein course a striker is going to shoot. A rugby participant has to think of the bounce of the ball, or an opposition participant attempting to steer sparkling of him and so on. some man or woman activities require anticipation, tennis, the receiving participant has to think of on which area an opponent will attempt to bypass him with the ball. gamers in any game that are mentioned to have been incorrect footed have did not assume the action of their opponent/fighters wisely. have been given the belief. i'm valuable you would be waiting to think of of a few greater your self now. do not confuse anticipation with potential or judgement. occasion, a golfer judges the capability of a bypass wind and the effect it could have on the flight of his ball whilst aligning his shot and the capability of his swing. desire this enables.
