People never really realize what all goes into the job of coaching. Coaching is a job everyone overlooks as being one of many simple careers. No matter what sports a person coaches, they go through things that other people have no idea about. Although many people do not think coaching can be a difficult position, a lot more goes into the line of work than most people imagine. Coaching has been one of my career ideas after high school, and it is from my high school coaches that I learn what…

There has been bad blood between soccer and football fans for many years. Football and soccer are two of the most popular sports in the world. Due to these sports being so popular, some fans are very passionate about the teams of these sports. The passionate fans of these two sports often conflict and disagree with each other, no matter where they live. While most fans of soccer are spread throughout the world and believe that soccer is superior to football, football fans are a special breed…

I have played soccer since the age of nine, which if you really think about it, is relatively late when it comes to athletics. However, I had such a passion for soccer and a drive to be the so-called “best,” that I succeeded well beyond my peers. In one year I was able to go from being a benchwarmer to one of the finest players on the team. I began playing in more competitive leagues, even playing against boys at one point. I was called-up to my soccer club’s premier team and was afforded the…

Soccer Liz Well, my coach did say to be aggressive. It’s not my fault I did what I did. It was a cool Thursday evening, perfect for playing soccer. My coach made us run some drills before the game, just the normal dribbling and kicking practice. I was great at soccer, better than most of the other kids that played on my team, and almost as good as the kids that played on official teams with their schools. I’m pretty sure I was that teams star player. I looked over at the coach. He seemed to…

I have been playing soccer as long I remember, because my father was a soccer coach so it was pretty much my whole life. I was in the starting lineup front my team. Although I was good enough to be in the starting line up for my team, as Iwas getting better and better, but that was not enough because my team was losing because of me. I was the striker which means I was supposed to score goals for my team, but I wasn't that guy who can beat the defender and put the ball behind the net. The days…

From when I was a little girl, soccer has been a huge part of my life. My parents raised me with the sport of soccer. We loved watching FC Dallas every season. Most of my childhood memories have been either playing soccer, going to Fc Dallas games, or just watching countless matches on the tv on Saturdays and Sundays. The funny thing is that I even went to Fc Dallas games before I was born. (My mom was pregnant with me). When I was little, I didn't find the game exciting. It was 90 minutes that…

My First Goal What if I never got pulled? What if he didn’t give me a second chance? What if Jack didn’t pass me the ball? What if I miss the goal? That’s what I was thinking at Krag Ranch running on the field to left midfield in blue shorts and a short sleeve shirt with a number one on the back with the hot boiling sun shining on are back. With the hole team in their positions ready to attack the ball that was just yelling at us. “Kick me in the goal”. Just repeating it over and over but I new…

Some of the most important parts of soccer are the history, the positions, the goal of the game, and how to play soccer. Soccer is a popular sport. There are eleven positions on a soccer field. There are a lot of rules to soccer. Have you ever wondered what the point in soccer is. Soccer is one of the most popular sports in Europe. People started playing soccer in china in the 2nd and 3rd centuries BC. During the Han dynasty people dribbled leather balls by kicking them into small nets. The…
