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…

I believe in not giving up while playing soccer. Soccer is a great way to let go of some stress. Soccer is a very fun and exciting sport to play. It is a very good way to stay healthy and fit. Every single day I have soccer practice and it keeps me fit and makes me happy. I believe that soccer can make anybody happy. Just playing for about 30 mins can make me happy and fit. Soccer is the best sport ever. It is watched worldwide and people of all ages can play not just the youth. Soccer is also…

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…

I've played soccer pretty much my entire life. Starting at age 4, I played a couple years on a team meant to teach the fundamentals and then tried out for a select club. In that club, I met and played with 5 of my future high school teammates. For this team, being a pretty decent player, I frequently played the entire game. Known for having above-average skills and speed, I made the JV team my freshman year and moved on to Varsity as a junior. I was of proud my role on the team. Soccer was my…

When many people think of ways to describe me they think of a determined, straight face, hard working soccer player because many people see that when they come to watch me on the soccer field. However, off the field, people are often shocked and relieved to see that I am completely the opposite of the person they see on the field. Surprising to most people, off the field, when I’m not directing players, winning tackles, and connecting passes, you will often times see me with friends and family…

My Passion for Soccer I started to play soccer when I was four. It has had an important impact on me. This is the reason I met my friends. When I was four I got my first ever soccer ball. It was a blue and green colored soccer ball. I would play around with it all the time. I would sometimes hit the ball with my head. When I was very young, my parents did not have a lot of money , so I was never that dressed up kid in school. My parents couldn’t afford any expensive soccer balls so I keep…

We learn something new everyday, while I been playing soccer for almost six to seven years. I never payed much attention to so many different things. While some soccer players are extremely alike others are so different. I decided to do an observation on my former high school boys soccer team. And a couple of interviews on other players. I been to many soccer games but never had I ever payed much attention to many things. For example the different things a soccer player carries. Recently I…
