The loud sound of the referee's whistle finally came and the game started. Halfway through the first half of the game my teammate Danielle passed me the ball. The other teams player came for me, she was one of their really good players so I thought I would never be able to pass her. As she approached me I stopped and pulled the ball back as she tried to get it from me.…

I got put in with most of my friends and our goaly was Miguel. My friend kept on telling me to score lots of goals because the coach had already looked at me and him I had been playing good. There was only one game left till the final game. Miguel kicking the ball from the goal side to the other side of the field and landing right on my feet, I turned around and hit the ball as hard as I could and scored the winning goal. We were off to the finals.…
Bam, the ball hit my head, the girl hit my head, and then my head hit the ground and I knew it was all over from there. The day my soccer career ended will be a day that I never forget. I was running backwards with my head facing the ball while the goalie went to put the ball out, also, there was a girl running right next to me. Subsequently, the girl running next to me, went up for the ball just like I did and the ball hit my head but she pushed right into my side and I came crashing down. While I was falling, the girl was falling too and her elbow came crashing into my head.…

Last year I was involved as an assistant coach for a youth's soccer team for about half a season. It was a great experience to work with young children and help them improve their soccer skills. Although I am not much of a great player, knowing the basics and a few extra tips learned from the coach of the team, made it possible for the children to improve themselves at a faster rate than…
Throughout my short life journey, soccer has been an enormous part of my life. I began playing soccer at a young age; this is the point in my life when I fell in love with the sport. As I grew older soccer became less of a hobby, and more of a lifestyle. Today, I am literate in the sport of soccer, because I have proficient skills, and a firm understanding of the game. I consider myself very soccer savvy, however the most important literacies I have acquired from soccer were the life skills of hard work, dedication and perseverance.…
When I was little people always told me that nothing comes for free, and at the time, I really didn’t give it much thought. Now that I’m older I know that nothing comes easy and if you really want to accomplish something and be good at it, you must work. In 2012 when I was about ten years old, I remember going to my cousin Jacob’s football game. He played here at Cesar Chavez, he was number 36 and played fullback and linebacker.…
What once was a mere burning match, weak and fragile, has grown into a magnificent wildfire, capable of engulfing the entire planet itself in its flames. Passion. For anything imaginable, those with it can shine far brighter than any other. I’ve always envied those with something they could cling to and call their passion, never having it myself. After years of searching, it appeared.…
It started at the end of 7th period . The feeling you have when you know something amazing is going to happen. As the bell rings letting us know that we need to go to the cafeteria.

I carried this ball everywhere. At four years old I decided to play for a U-5 club that’s called F.C fleshcanne in Haiti. I played as a defender and this is where I started to love soccer. I received best defender of the year back to back. We won 2 championships, and we lost the third final.…
I was so ashamed that I considered never playing soccer again. However, I have my perseverance to thank for not giving up. It was hard showing my face around school even when everyone was talking about the penalty that cost West Campus the section final. As difficult as it was I faced my fears and embraced all the negative comments going around and continued to play soccer. All the negativity I embraced was used as motivation to prove everyone wrong.…
