I am contacting because I am interested in a physical therapist job for the club. It has been my dream to be a part of this club, because I have always been a fan. Soccer has been a big part of my life and I have been interested in sports medicine since I was younger. I know that for this job I am obligated to be comfortable talking and working with other people. I have had plenty of experience working with others. I have volunteered numerous times where I had to collaborate with other…

I grew up in single parent family home where depression existed, seeing my mom cry herself to sleep while taking sleeping pills is an immensely painful memory. At a very young age, I became my mother’s care taker so that made my pain and feelings unimportant. During this time was when I felt forsaken and so pressurized to grow up. I felt I was living a nightmare. Over the years I became an older sister and caretaker to three siblings. I started raising my first sibling at age nine. I invariably…

In freshman year of high school, I decided to try out for the freshman soccer team. I had not played for the middle school team but I had played for a club outside of school. Most of my teammates were also trying out so I decided that I should try out too. The first round of tryouts were two days long after school and the second round was one day. Out of the 34 kids that tried out, ten would be cut in the first round. On the first day of tryouts, we were doing all kinds of passing, shooting,…

Broken. Completely broken. That was the state of my foot during the first of many of my deranged soccer tournaments. I had not had a respite yet the whole tournament, but I was anticipating one. It was our 4th game, it was a beautiful day, the sun was out, no clouds were in the sky. It was time to play the game that would determine if we would win the championships. I played center defense, meaning that I am the last line of attack so that the ball will not go into the goal. It was a vigorous…

I also play with Hotspurs with the 2003 girls. With the academy, I personally learn more, since it’s more difficult playing with the boys. It’s also more difficult in the sense that when I go for a one v one, some are much bigger or much more skillful. With hotspurs, I’m mainly there for the games and the fitness. With the girls, I'm kind of tall and I have more skill than most of them. In my opinion, it isn’t challenging and I don’t improv on anything. I started playing soccer when I was about…
