Question

How does friction help soccer players?

Answer 1

The players and athletes have to run fast. So, greater friction is required between the soles of shoes and ground to prevent slipping . To increase friction spikes are provided in the soles of shoes worn by players and athletes . Spikes are the pointed nails which get into the ground and increase friction between shoe and the ground This prevents slipping of players or athlete on kicking, stopping, running,etc......

Answer 2

Friction helps the soccer players as it helps them to form grip with the ground and prevents them from falling.  friction acts like a stopper. if friction would not be there then the players may slip and fall.
