Newton's 2nd law can be applied to many sports. If you are playing soccer the more force you exert during the kick the faster the acceleration which means that when the ball leaves your foot it is going faster allowing it to go further. (The bigger the force the greater the acceleration and therefore speed.) If you are playing baseball, the pitcher trains to increase his arm strength because the ball is a bit heavier than other balls so more force needs to be exerted on it to move it at 80-100 miles per hour. (Force is proportional to mass x acceleration, to accelerate a heavier object requires more force.) If you are playing tennis then you use a much heavier racket than if you are playing badminton. This is because tennis balls are much heavier than Badminton shuttlecocks. As the racket hits the ball/shuttle two things happen, the ball/shuttle accelerates and the head of the racket decelerates. You want a racket that is the right weight for the thing you are hitting. Too heavy and you can't accelerate it fast enough making you slow, too light and it just stops when you hit the ball/shuttle. (Force is proportional to mass x acceleration, to accelerate a heavier object requires more force, to decelerate (an every day term for acceleration in the opposite direction to movement) requires more force.) If you are a defender in football it is good to be heavy. When a fast light oponant hits you he will stop quicker if you are heavier than he is. (This is more easily explained using conservation of momentum but this is derived from Newton's 1st and 2nd laws.)
