When I was in grade 10, my dream was to organize a soccer team with my classmates. Noticing that many of my classmates who loved soccer but had no chance to enter into the school team, I decided to organize a soccer team with my classmates. I did planning for three days and gave an inspiring speech before them. Soon, my soccer team was built up with 14 men, and I was elected to be the captain. We began to play soccer from a fundamental perspective, practicing elementary skills every morning and afternoon. When I thought that our team was ready for the real game, I talked the president of soccer club into organizing soccer match on campus. Unfortunately, our team lost in the first game with a score of 0-3. The failure pushed me to find effective ways to win next game against a stronger rival. However, I did not realize that a bigger problem awaited us. The next day, I organized a morning training as usual. After 20 minutes, a few showed up. After 45 minutes, only 4 members were collected. When I contacted the others regarding their absence, they said things like, ‘training is useless now, we are losers.’ The failure did not defeat me, but my teammates’ attitude did. I thought then that maybe I should give up on the team. Nonetheless, I could not do so, especially when I recalled the training sessions with my teammates. It was just a test of my will. I had to use my passion and perseverance to make our team stronger and more united. My first task was to find out those…

I have played soccer for as long as I could remember . One way or another at 12 years old, however,I was never good at it. 6 years after you would see me as an experienced player. You are wrong for some odd reason because, I missed out on the everyday routine at practice,I did not know how to play soccer,and I did not have any play time. I never had any faith in myself, Even though, I was a very fast runner . Every time in practice, I kicked the soccer ball into the goal like 2 or 3 times out…

School girls’ soccer team had lost their eighth consecutive game and I was a part of that team. That night we traveled to Rock Hill High School. The entire first half of the soccer game was excruciating. Rock Hill is one of the best soccer teams in South Carolina. The first forty minutes consisted of goal after goal by the other team. All around me were girls with legs that seemed to go on forever and that could move across the entire field seemingly at the speed of light. They were…

field, but somehow it felt like where I had to be. I felt a firm hand grab my shoulder and the next Michael Heim was dragging my focus away from the intense game. Michael peered into my eyes with the same expression of nervousness and trembling fear. “Hager wants us on the practice field in three minutes” Michael managed to force out. I acknowledged and followed him over to the practice field. The field was used for football practice and it was tucked away from any prying eyes. The…

Sports can change lives. It can be in a big way or small. It can help you pass the time or it could help you pay for college. Sports can really impact your life for better or for worse. Here’s how sports impacted my life. The beginning of my soccer career was very important for me. When I first started playing soccer I absolutely loved it. I was 3 years old when I first started playing soccer. Every single game I would get so excited and I would always wear my special pink skort. Even…

Everything was great in my life until it came crashing down like a building to the ground in pieces. The crashing waves would soon teach me the importance and meaning of being strong when you feel the weakest, how hard work pays off in the end, and that I was in fact mortal like everyone else in the world. It all started in the cold wintery month of February. It was a cold but beautiful day to go outside and practice soccer in the green but frosty yard in front of my mother’s house. My brother…

without him. The next morning when he woke up he heard his mom yelling that David had come to see him. Alex ran to the door to see why David was here. David said that the coach had kicked him off the team because he thought David had told the officials that he had kicked Alex of the team. David was really mad he got kicked of the because of me but when I told him the coach was going to get fired and we would be back on the team really soon he started to smile and asked if Alex wanted to…

The Washington High School Soccer team all shares a common goal of wanting to win a West Virginia State Championship, and continue to be successful through out life, sharing means of communication through social media and email. During my upper classman of high school I got chance to be apart of family that was all held together by something that meant more than just a…

was in the same section as her parents, but they were not sitting very close to them. She was paying attention to the game, but she was also talking to her older brother a fair amount, and was on her phone as well. Her brother and her had a large umbrella that they used to block the sun. At one point, she closed the umbrella and started to poke at her friend who was underneath the bleachers with the top of the umbrella. She was also looking out for her younger sister. Her sister seemed…
