Canadian football

continuing playing at a high level of soccer till this day. In 2008 I played on my first team, Concorde Fire Black. We traveled many places including Disney World where we placed second in the National Disney Showcase. Our team name is now named United Football Association Gold, but I still play with the girls I started playing soccer with. We still continue to travel and win many tournaments, last year we won our division. Playing and loving soccer is something that hasn’t changed in my life…

My family has always been a sports family. Ever since I can remember the entirety of my life outside of school has revolved around sports. For my dad it was soccer, a sport which I played and enjoyed but unlike my parents, when they were younger, I had a burning desire to play hockey. Hours of running wildly around my house dressed in goalie equipment, finally convinced my parents to sign their 5 year old up for timbits hockey. I enjoyed playing the game for many years to follow, and still do…

The Central High School soccer team would make history in the season 2013-2014, and not one single person expects it. In the season there were only three more crucial games left before the big decisive game. Central prepared diligently, even staying after practice to ensure we were all ready for the biggest game in the soccer’s program, against our biggest rival, Smiths Station. While both Central and Smiths believed that they were ready to come off of that green soccer field with a victory,…

When you live in a small town, people seem to doubt that you will ever move on to bigger and better things. When you seem different than everyone else, or have different motivations, goals and interests, people seem to think you will falter in your attempt to achieve your goals. The reality is, no matter where you come from, or what your interests are, the only time you will encounter a detour on your road to success, is when you lack self-confidence and the necessary work ethic. On the road to…

My three most important life events for me is… Learning how to play basketball, learning how to play football, and learning how to ride a dirt bike. These life events are important to me cause they make me me. I wouldn’t be my athletic self or my skilled talents from it. If I didn't have them I wouldn’t be strong or have my friends that I have. Most importantly, I wouldn’t be me. Let’s start off with basketball it is important to me because without it I wouldn’t have my friends that I have.…

Could you imagine getting paid over one million dollars, just for running, throwing, and catching, it’s unbelievable! Well, most athletes today get paid over ten million dollars, and with that amount of money, it could break the economy. Therefore, athletes are overpaid. Athletes in the past have shown to not be very financially smart. First, 78% of NFL players went into bankruptcy after retirement. Similarly, 60% of NBA players go bankrupt after five years of retirement. Therefore, this would…

that the apparel of an sports person varies according to the sports they plays. It is very much obvious when one talks about the shoes. For example the spiked shoes are mainly contrived for playing baseball. It is quiet impossible for anyone to play football with the spiked shoes that are meant for playing baseball. So it is very much apparent for weightlifting that there should be a different kind of shoes. It has been considered in the world of sports that the weightlifting shoe is sort of…

Pay Inequalities in Athletics Women have always been seen as less of a person than men are in many aspects of life, with sports being one of them. Dating back to 1963, the Equal Pay Act was passed in regards to John F. Kennedy, yet, 54 years later, the working women still falls short to men, making 79 cents to the men’s dollar. Not only in the workplace, but also in collegiate and professional sports, we see major gender pay inequalities. Wage gaps in sports are very obvious and people are…

In the tenth grade, I learned that not everyone is going to like me. I have always viewed myself as someone that gets along with everyone. I had many friends. I was polite to everyone. I was good at what I did. I felt as I was well respected by my peers and coaches. I couldn’t think of one person that I didn’t get along with: until I met Rob Webb. At the time, Rob Webb was the soccer coach for the u18 elite girl’s soccer team for the club that I played for back home. Our club did tryouts for…

I was four years old when I started playing soccer, and at ten I knew I wanted to play in college. Soccer has been a huge part of my life for twelve years now, growing up I had always played defense and loved it. When eighth grade came around, my travel team needed a goalie, I decided to take one for the team and become our goalie for that season instead of playing my usual position. Playing goalie was never my first choice, but I knew that I had to do it if I wanted to play soccer that season,…
