The Life Of My Life

Most kids have friends just at school, but I have friends in close and far away places. All this comes from the life of being a top level soccer player in the state of ohio. There are many things that I have experienced, and as a result I have had a very interesting life that has shaped how I live and look at life.

What they saw was determination. They said when I was little I was determined to always win and get done whatever was given to me. As I grew up, I hated losing in anything. It could be something as simple as a backyard volleyball and I would not want to lose. But as I grew up I had a fellow redhead rival ever since we were very little. His name was Stephan Milhoan. Stephan was like me in every aspect. He looked like me, we were always the best, and we especially both hated to lose. The first time I had played against him was a 3v3 soccer tournament at Akron University soccer field. Both our teams were in the final and he had his partner in crime who had been his friend since day one and have always been together, his name was Will Turrittin. Between Stephan, Will, and two other players they had they were definitely the best in the area. I was on my Coventry school team so we were at a large disadvantage as I had carried the team to the finals. Both teams step onto the field and we knew nothing about

    Accountability, unity, and intentionality are fundamental elements of a successful team. All three of these elements are interdependent on each other, yet are significant on their own. For these elements to work, each member of a team must depend on each other’s contribution, but not rely on one member to do all the work. As well, an intentional goal must be set for all members to unify the same mentality. In my own experience with the Buckeye Twirl baton team, we fail to perform as a team and work as individuals.…

    Reflecting on my years as a member of the Silver Starlites I realize I would not be where I am today if it were not for the influence of my parents, teammates, Starlite parents and my four magnificent coaches, who surprisingly managed to put up with my antics for ten years. It is because of their encouragement and support that I have truly learned what it means to be disciplined, audacious, dedicated, a role model and most importantly a champion. Our competitions came around two and occasionally three times a month, this meant that if I were not home doing my school work I was sure to be in the gym practicing my butt off while my mom repeatedly nagged about how bad my free hand was or that my showmanship and eye contact was not enough, not to mention her eye rolls every time I dropped. It was excruciatingly frustrating to know that it…

    From a young age, I always loved playing football; being out on the field is one of the best feelings ever.

I would play because I enjoyed it, but I had no idea how the simple game of football would change my life for the better. Growing up I used to see my friends come home from little league practice everyday on school days and that really used to make me mad. They used to get home when the street lights were on and we were not able to come outside and play at that time.…
