Being let go can be many things, it can be cut from a team, laid off, or rejected. For me, being cut was a shock and a huge disappointment. I tried out for the Bridgewater State University men’s soccer team and was dismissed in the second round of cuts. Soccer is not just a game for me, it is a significant part of my life. I have played year round for the past fourteen years both indoors and outdoors. Elected as varsity captain of my high school team, and leading goal scorer for both my…

My past few summers consisted of staying up all night, watching television, then sleeping during the day. It was a fun way to spend my summers, but it wasn’t satisfying. So, when the idea of spending three days a week, for eight weeks, playing soccer during the summer became a possibility, I had an odd feeling of motivation. Early into 2016, my interest in soccer was relit. Perhaps I wanted to be more like my brother, who’s serious in obtaining a career in professional soccer. Nonetheless, I…

Do you like or love to play sports? If you do, how about soccer? Well, I know I love soccer. I love soccer because I really like to run, I love most of all sports, I’m good at it, but most of all… it’s soccer. Quickly! Run around in circles, your life depends on it! Soccer. Yep, that’s soccer. I’m not going to lie. Soccer is dangerous. Maybe not as dangerous as football or hockey, but still pretty dangerous. Go for the ball and kick it in the other team’s goal. Seems pretty simple, doesn’t it?…

I had heard those words so many times, way too many times. “We’re moving!” My parents would always say excitedly. Seven times, six states across the country all in a matter of 15 years. My parents have moved our family again and again which has affected me in a positive and negative way. My father was in the military when I was just a little kid. He graduated from West Point and was a blackhawk pilot for seven years. He was stationed all over the USA, and he continued to be moved around once I…

I wake up at 6 in the morning, walk by my kitchen refusing to eat breakfast at 6:10, and pack my duffle bag by 6:35. After brushing my teeth at 6:50, I leave for school at 7 with my brother and my father. Classes begin at 7:35am and end at 2:12pm. Standing in the locker room changing my clothes and lacing up my shoes by 2:25, I remind myself why I put myself through this ritual every single day. The gym doors open at 2:30, when dozens of student athletes crowd the athletic directors office…

Soccer Coach & Life Coach When I was a fifth grader, I played for a local U15 soccer club that needed more players. Because my older sister was playing they let me, a ten-year-old, play as well. I was the youngest and only knew my sister. At the first practice, I was nervous to the point where I was sweaty without even moving due to my fear of everyone else being better than me. My sister and I found out that we were on Ken’s team. Looking back, that would be some of the best news I would…

I love soccer, I can play it twice a day or sit and watch it all day, I like anything that have to do with soccer period. I was stationed in Italy and I was on the post soccer team playing the all Arm Forces tournament in Germany. I was on the field when my coach and the rest of my team picked me up. My coach convince my chain of command that I was the best defender on the team and without me the team have no chance in the tournament. So I was let go by unit and was asked to return after the…

They built an odd, stone trail through the tennis courts and around the construction site. On those nights, I take that route because the trail manages to escape the street lamps’ lights. The path then opens up to Wesson; empty, dark, surrounded by trees. I always walk first, and then I suddenly…

My mom says I should never be nervous about something as long as i'm thinking positive but I tell her “I can't help it!” Imagine going into a high school and being a freshman and then having the ball in your feet and at the moment standing in a soccer field being watched by coaches that are expecting the best out of you so they can see who is good enough to make it into a soccer team, I would feel nervous. This is exactly why I feel so nervous school starts and I am looking forward to…
