Soccer has shaped me, built my personality, and has been a part of my life ever since I can remember. Soccer has effected me all throughout my life and there is no better way for me to tell you about myself other than explaining the role soccer has played in my life. I have been around soccer for as long as I can remember. Soccer to me is more than just a game or sport. Soccer has shaped me and is a major part of the person I am today. I have played since I was four years old and I have never…

The phone rings at 9 o'clock in the morning. “Syd coach Smith just passed… he had a heart attack last night!” exclaims Kieanna. Confused I respond, “What?” The phone goes completely silent and then tears are heard, they are Kieanna’s. Throughout my years in high school I have participated and many different activities at my school. One of the most important activities that I have been a part of is the Varsity Soccer team. As a well developed player from prior knowledge of the sport, I had always…

I pounded the brick wall over and over again, every night until I saw a change. My skills need improvement and I was the only one who could make the changes. I realized that my soccer skills needed improvement and that brick wall became the foundation for improvement. I have played soccer for 14 years now after play Recreational soccer for 11 I played soccer for my High school for another 2 years. The first time I played Club Soccer I was 17. I learned very quickly that in Club Soccer everyone…

In the book Tangerine, Victor affects Paul very much as they spend more and more time with each other. It starts out with Paul trying out for the soccer team at Tangerine Middle School. Paul has just caught a ball heading for the goal: “Suddenly, wham! A foot came slicing in front of my face, driving the ball out of my hands and into the goal. [...] ‘You taking a nap, Fisherman?’” (Bloor 110). That leaves Paul feeling like Victor was a jerk who he needs to learn how to get around. Then it…

Everyone May think they are perfect at everything they do, but not everyone will be successful in life. I always think that I am perfect at what I am doing. When I was a sophomore 2 years ago, they were soccer try outs late February. I was so hyped up for try outs, I told all my friends that I was going to make it and be a starter for varsity. It was a month away for try outs and I never knew how to play soccer, I just knew the basics to the sport, like pass, dribble, and kick, but I wasn’t that…

When you first start playing soccer, it may seem like there is just one step to soccer success. During soccer, many skills need practice such as kicking the ball to a teammate or the goal, marking the ball, shutting off the ball from an opponent, team-work, balancing, and warm-ups are all skills needed to succeed in soccer. Consequently injuries and many failures are all due to soccer players not paying close attention to practicing such skills or simply not communicating with one another. Being…

Sometimes friends become similar to a family. One of the best things I have ever done was sign up for a local soccer team. I was a genuinely shy kid. However, I loved (and still love) soccer. What I didn't know at the time was how attached I would become to my team and how much teamwork mattered. To start, I was really excited when my parents told me that they were signing me up for soccer but I was a little nervous. I thought about what the other kids would think about me. Would they think…

people of all ages can play not just the youth. Soccer is also one of the best ways to get rid of some stress for a bit. Just playing a little scrimmage with their best pals can make a person forget about their struggles for a bit. When I step onto the pitch I forget all my problems and worries for the brief moment that I am playing my match. I believe in playing soccer. Soccer is like no other sport it can bring old and young together. It is a very emotional game and even bring a grown man to…

Soccer has always been a passion of mine. I have tried many sports, including tennis, swimming, and taekwondo. If all the sports I have tried were stickers, all except one eventually fell off. That one sticker is soccer. At first, I was constantly trying to press it back on when it started falling, but now it seems to stay on by itself. Nowadays, I play and train as much as possible, and I do so with a positive mindset, wherever I am playing. I play for a club team called Sycamore Premier, and…

Ever wondered how sports relate to everyday life? Soccer has many analogies to compare and contrast everyday situations. Soccer is an interesting sport that can relate to many things. Soccer has many great examples of analogies like the coach in soccer represents your boss at work. The first few prominent analogies that were found are your teammates are like your family, practice is like preparing you for something like a test, and lastly the plays are your plans for the day. All of these…
