Ever since I can remember, soccer has been my favorite sport. When I was eight years old, I joined my first soccer team. I wasn’t the best player on the team when I first started, but with time I got really good at it. I still wasn’t the best of the team. Therefore, to be the best, I had to train really hard.

The roar of the engine sends my heart racing as I pull out on to the track, one lap around and we are off, trucks at my side as we glide around the turns. The slick dirt pulling my back end around I move my hands, my automatic controls, the only thing keeping me from spinning out. It’s funny really because clichés aren’t my thing, however, at times idioms are just the thing to describe a situation or time period in one’s life, for instance the saying that “life is a roller coaster” couldn’t be…

There are more than 5 different sports in the world. Everyone loves one or two sports, but I only love one sport, and that is soccer. For me, soccer is the best sport in the world for several reasons. When I was 3 years old my mother bought me a soccer ball. She said to me this ball should be my best friend. I carried this ball everywhere. At four years old I decided to play for a U-5 club that’s called F.C fleshcanne in Haiti. I played as a defender and this is where I started to love…

The old man sits on the porch. Maryland summers are classified somewhere under humid subtropical and humid continental but all the man feels is the accumulation of perspiration around his temples. The man in the neighboring balcony smokes. He had moved in a few weeks ago, and that’s all anyone seems to know about him. On some days, he is a rather cynical character of piercing stares, loud sneers, and cigarette smoke sputtering out of his mouth when he scoffs. On others, he’s the elegant,…

When she was done practicing alone she started walking home because she did not live far. As she started to walk home, she stopped to tie her shoe. She was about to take out her phone to call her mom when she heard someone yelling for help, but Payton did not know it was a trap. She walked over to see who it was, but out of nowhere a guy came up behind her and put his hand over her…

Ever wonder what gives top athletes that extra edge that makes them the best? Through my passion for soccer I have been drawn to reading countless articles and books on soccer, and athletics in general, in an effort to answer this question.
