I would like to be Lionel Messi, because when I was little I saw this very short person for his age playing in my favorite LBBVA 1(liga espanola) soccer team FC Barcelona. When I saw him play it was like magic, the moment he got the ball you could see the opponent's gang up on him because they knew if they gave him space he would score. Lionel Messi is the person who brought me back to soccer because when I saw him play in the Champions, it made me think, "look at those moves, damn, I want to be…

The day that would ultimately initiate the hunger for success was a day that I believed in myself and had faith in overcoming adversity. The week began in my freshman year when my close friends convinced me to try out for the Men’s Varsity Soccer team at my school. At the time, I had never played soccer a day in my life so, of course to anyone I was guaranteed to not make the team. Well, when I went to try-outs, I was struggling to keep up but I would always give it my all. Each day, I went to…

People have come to believe these head balls are the main cause of most concussions in soccer. Several sports organizations have…

I believe in trying new things when everyone else encourages you not to. For me, it was trying out for the school soccer team. When I told people about me wanting to join, most thought I wouldn’t be any good. I didn’t give into their opinions, but instead listened to myself. In less than a year since this sport has come into my life, it has taught me many things I would not have known if I hadn’t taken the chance to try something new. I believe that trying new things such as a sport like…

Through my passion for the game, soccer has fueled my will to succeed in everything I do…

Soccer is my favorite sport. There are many reasons why I favor soccer over all the childhood sports I’ve played. It’s something positive to do, easy to learn, and keeps you healthy! First of all being a part of a soccer team is something positive to be a part of. It gives you a group to belong to. Before soccer, I was an outcast, without many friends who wanted to do good things, leaving me with a boring life, and nothing to look forward too. But when I started school my 7th grade year there…
