For the love of soccer
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved the sports. The one I love and still love is soccer. My dad is the one who always encouraged me to play and participate in Parks and Rec soccer. After he passed away, my mom helped me get onto a club team that I could play with to improve my skills as a player. Club soccer is awesome. I have been playing it for years now. We have been through a lot of coaches but the one we have been with the longest is Kiki. He has helped me improve on my skills and as a player. He has been hard on me at times but that was only to make me better. Soccer is a great way to get your feelings out without taking them out on others. You can kick the ball as hard as you want and play as hard as you want. What I also love is how competitive the sport is.
Participating in a sport that is competitive is so much more fun than a sport that is not. Each team is trying to get to the finals so you work as hard as you can. You give everything you have in every game because if you do not you will not win and you will not help your team.
Working as a team is an important factor in the game of soccer. Soccer is not a one person sport. You can not play without your teammates. As you develop relationships with your teammates, it is more beneficial to the whole team. When you are closer, you work together better. Some teams fight on the field and yell at each other. Fortunately, I have always been on a team where we get along and never get mad at each other. We always encourage one another and help each other. When we encourage each other it is easier to work together. It is easier because we are able to communicate on the field and help each other out. I can not emphasize on how important it is to work together as a team. That is the main goal. You can not be on a team and play for yourself. You need help from others to get to that one goal each of you have.
I would play soccer for the rest of my life if I could. It has molded me into the person that I am. I love the sport and I always will.

I've played soccer for as long as I can remember. My dad was the one who got me involved in it as well and I'm thankful he pushed me to play my hardest constantly. I learned so much from this sport as well- working as a team, responsibility, and hard work. My teams were always like family and I am forever thankful to have grown up with a passion for a sport as beautiful soccer. I haven't played since I graduated high school and I miss it so much, but I always look forward to watching Premier League games with my dad.
ReplyDeleteIts funny that with all the reasons we look forward to not being in school, for athletes that is at best bittersweet because the opportunities to participate in sports dry up after school. I really wish that there were better community opportunities for people to play sports, just for fun, after school.
