In freshman year of high school, I decided to try out for the freshman soccer team. I had not played for the middle school team but I had played for a club outside of school. Most of my teammates were also trying out so I decided that I should try out too. The first round of tryouts were two days long after school and the second round was one day. Out of the 34 kids that tried out, ten would be cut in the first round. On the first day of tryouts, we were doing all kinds of passing, shooting,…

Broken. Completely broken. That was the state of my foot during the first of many of my deranged soccer tournaments. I had not had a respite yet the whole tournament, but I was anticipating one. It was our 4th game, it was a beautiful day, the sun was out, no clouds were in the sky. It was time to play the game that would determine if we would win the championships. I played center defense, meaning that I am the last line of attack so that the ball will not go into the goal. It was a vigorous…

I also play with Hotspurs with the 2003 girls. With the academy, I personally learn more, since it’s more difficult playing with the boys. It’s also more difficult in the sense that when I go for a one v one, some are much bigger or much more skillful. With hotspurs, I’m mainly there for the games and the fitness. With the girls, I'm kind of tall and I have more skill than most of them. In my opinion, it isn’t challenging and I don’t improv on anything. I started playing soccer when I was about…

Something new began happening in the football world and governmental world of Brazil: political protests. The people of Brazil are known for the mad love of football, with DeMatta saying that football is an important vehicle of the Brazilian nation building project, a: “highly significant means to the articulation of messages about what it is to be truly Brazilian” (DeMatta, 2009). The people of Brazil take a lot of pride in their love of football, but they will not shy away from letting their…

For my non-verbal communication activity, I decided to go to the Ethiopian soccer championship tournament this year that took place last weekend in the University of Maryland, hosted by the Ethiopian Soccer Federation in North America (ESFNA). This was a unique non-verbal experience both in the sense that it was a sports event (rather than the conventional idea of a performance or art showcase) and also due to the fact that it was a foreign-based event hosted in the United States. The target…
