Personal Narrative: My Soccer Experience

Improved Essays
This experience was in HCHS when I sign in for practices of the soccer team. Well, the coach was picking new soccer players and I was there trying to do my best and be part of the best Soccer team, I don’t remember exactly the date but it was in October 2012. The first day we started running 5 laps to the two soccer fields, it was nice because I like exercise. After that we were passing the ball and shouting to the goal. The goal keeper is funny he played one year in a really professional team in Mexico. My feelings were high because soccer is my favorite sport. However, there were a lot of people trying to get in the team, but only 3 players could get it, which would be hard for me. Also, sometimes the practice was so hard that I didn’t want …show more content…
When we get to the field was like at 7:00 p. m. o’clock, the day was cold, it was perfect to play soccer. The game started but I didn’t play with the first 11 players in my team I get in the team in the second time. I was scared there making my first steps in the field, I touched the ball and the game continues. I didn’t do much for my team, it was my first official game in this team and this country but we won that day. We are a team, we play for it. The coach was happy for our first game. The practices continue and every day more hard. The coach sometimes gets angry but it’s normal. However, everyone is doing their best in the practice, in the game, every day we are playing hard, sometimes we get tired but with time to win every game. The second game was easy too because the other team didn’t play with its best and we won. The third game was not really easy because it is a classic game, Haines City High School vs. Ridge High School. When we get in their field we started hard we can do it but Ridge is a hard team and it plays really nice. In the first time of the game all was working easy but the time was running fast and Ridge makes its first goal and we got sad. The second time, it was worse because Ridge makes another goal we are 2-0 Ridge is winning and we are getting more sad. Yes we did a goal but the game is done and the score was 2-1 we lost the game. The time was fast, we won, and we lost. The coach is getting mad but we are playing that is the point, enjoy the game. The practice is getting down and more easy I don’t know why but some players doesn’t go to the practice and the players are forgetting to the team. Also the school has a soccer team for women and this team never won a game, it had a different coach. In the high school my friends asked me how is going the team and I can answer that question but it’s no

    We began to train even harder, disregarding the swelling on our knees and ankles, tasting the conviction and persistence in the training court shared by all. Meanwhile, I watched professional soccer games, read coaching books every night and observed the training of our rival team, and tried to think of a good strategy. My research drove me to play a direct counter attack style to win the games. In the final team meeting before the big game, I presented my strategy, and convinced them that every individual’s potential is indeed unlimited, especially when they focus on their goal and work together. If the whole team believed in each other and fight to the end, we could change a failure to a victory.…

    But, it wasn't enough. Our hope wasn't lost, although we had to go into the toughest thing in soccer for a team, the thing that makes even the mentaly toughest players on the team break down, and if you missed it was like getting all your confidence ripped out of you, it was "the shootouts" they were the worst thing that could happen in a game. All coaches and players pray that their team doesn't have to go into a shoot-out, but we did. Nyah our goalie was up first we cheered her on loads then, BANG! a goal, we all still cheered, the game wasn't over then Rylee went, one of our best players, then BANG!…

    In lieu of letting the new players struggle with learning technical skills, I and a few other veteran team members taught the new players the fundamentals of soccer. Through weeks of training and weekend practices we all began to see growth in our new team. From this moment I knew my hard work was beginning to pay off. We endured many discouraging losses from the first few games; which turned a lot of heads in my direction. But we slowly bonded as a team and learned how to play together which showed on the scoreboard.…

    I was four years old when I started playing soccer, and at ten I knew I wanted to play in college. Soccer has been a huge part of my life for twelve years now, growing up I had always played defense and loved it. When eighth grade came around, my travel team needed a goalie, I decided to take one for the team and become our goalie for that season instead of playing my usual position. Playing goalie was never my first choice, but I knew that I had to do it if I wanted to play soccer that season, so I asked my brother to train me to become a goalie for that season. As it turned out, I wasn’t terrible at goalie and my dad suggested I switch from defense to goalie.…

    By the time I sprinted onto the field for the start of the Jefferson Cup soccer final I had mentally prepared myself for the fierce showdown ahead. I had been playing soccer for most of my short life, giving up all other sports to concentrate on being a top player. In fact my whole family was committed to the game, so I guess you could say that I eat, sleep, and breathe soccer. I sure hoped that all my hard work would be translated into a big win that day. As I readied myself for the refs whistle to announce the start of the game, the hair on my neck stood straight up, and the adrenaline rushed through my body, filling every vein and artery.…

I had been experiencing pain in my hip…

    So we prayed and the game started and we played nervously. My captain, Melissa dribbled down the court, looked to pass, and took the shot but missed it. Michelle also missed her fast-break lay up, and I missed my free throw. At the end of Quarter 2, it was like playing football because the scoreboard only shows 2 for Ipeka Tomang (my school) and 3 for Yadika. That indicates how much we are struggling the whole quarter never really score but a constant battle between getting and loosing the ball.…
