Which statement best describes the approach one should take when considering to play a sport at a competitive level? a.
start at a lower level, gauge your performance against others, and move up when your skill has improved.
b.
start at a higher level, ignore your performance against others, and move down if needed.
c.
start at a middle level, gauge your performance against others, and stay at that level regardless of your skill level.
d.
start at an entry level, gauge your performance against others, and move up only to a level where you are still the best.

The answer is:  A.  Start at a lower level, gauge your performance against others, and move up when your skill has improved.

When you just start a new sport, there would be a big difference in term of skill set, way of thinking, and physical attributes between you and other experienced players.

Starting directly at high level would most likely damage your confidence and discourage you from pursuing the sport any further.

absolute strength refers to the maximum force exerted by a body irrespective of body size. relative strength on the other hand is the force exerted by a body in relation to muscle size or body weight.

so the answer is: c. absolute strength measures strength regardless of your body size, while relative strength measures strength adjusted for your weight.
