Pele the Best Soccer Player Edison Arantes do Nascimento a.k.a Pele, is a Brazilian soccer player who was born in October 23, 1940 and was a forward. He is the all-time best soccer player tell this day! Pele and I are members of three Brazilian World Cup-champion teams. He became a great player because of me when I trained him before the 1958 World Cup, so thanks to me he became a superstar. Pele was the 1999 FIFA player of the century but based on votes from the FIFA officials, journalists and…

Day and night, I devoted my free time to get better at soccer. Thus, improving my kicks, accuracy, speed, stamina, and strength. I was never capable to kick a ball further than 20 feet so I created strategies to help me build strength on my legs. For example, in my back yard I would stand a few feet away from the brick, aim to a certain brick I’d like to kick the ball to, if I hit the brick I then would step a few steps back and repeat. I practiced for about 6 months straight after the season…

quasi-experiment to do a program evaluation on a non-profit. What non-profit(s) would you focus on? Why? The non- profit I would focus on is the Smithsonian National Museum of American History built in 1846. I have choice the Smithsonian because it’s the largest museum and research complex. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History claims to “Shape the future by preserving our heritage, discovering new knowledge, and sharing our resources with the world”. What would be your research…

It’s late summer, 2015. We had been practicing for months and finally we were playing games. It was supposed to be an easy game. We always win by six or seven points, but this time it was different. I’m Matthew Billing, and this is the story of the time I broke my elbow playing soccer. We start the game right on time six o’clock. We have been playing for probably fifteen to twenty minutes when it happens. I intercept a pass and start to make a run downfield. As I’m getting past midfield a…

As a young girl, I never thought I would become so attached to a sport, and definitely not soccer. My mother expected me to be like any other little girl with a barbie doll, which I was, but then I developed an obsession for the sport. I supplemented a very interesting passion for soccer when I reached the age of 8. From the good compliments I receive from my coaches, my family, and friends, I assume i’m a great soccer player skill wise. The reason I am mentioning how important soccer is to me…

Since my first GCSE Law lesson, I have been captivated by the subject's diverse array of fields and its tight grip on how society is run. Law allows our country to function, decides for us what is right or wrong and allows justice to be available for whoever seeks it, hence why I want to study law as a degree. When I visited Winchester Crown Court I was fascinated at how a barrister can so greatly influence the sentence and future of a defendant in just a few words. I want a career where my…

Football technology has changed the game for the good, throughout the years and to give the referees a brilliant and easier job and I will giving my opinion on why I think it has impacted the game. It has impacted the game by goal line decisions and to find those small incidents which the referee cannot see. There are many advantages and the disadvantages to the majority of these changes in football, many people will have different opinions. I will also give my reasons for my opinion on the…

I am addicted. Sometimes I wish I could quit, but every time I lace up, my blood starts rushing, my palms start sweating, and I can’t think of doing anything else. That’s what soccer does to me. That’s what soccer does for me. Even when it’s hard and ugly, when I’m the focus of hate and on the receiving end of angry insults from people who are older and who should know better, as a referee, I can not shrink. Life lessons can be found in the oddest places, like the well-manicured soccer fields…
