Many families enjoy going to sport events together. That is, if the Dad likes sports(*wink wink*). A sports game is a place where many different families go in to watch as one family. But as soon as the game starts, it’s not many different families watching the game, it’s one big giant family. Out of all the soccer matches that me and my family have been to, one match stood out than the others. From that one match, I learned a valuable lesson that is a rule that would apply to me, and everyone else, for the rest of their lives. Now, our family’s favorite K-League team just made it to the cup finals and it was a big deal for all the fans considering this was the team’s first time ever making it to the finals. I remember our family celebrating like we had just won the Korean lottery when our team beat their rivals in the semi-finals. We immediately got our tickets for the final game so we could get good seats when the time came. All my Korean friends were jealous that I got to go to the final game and they couldn’t (of course, it was because their team never MADE it to the finals). But out of the family, I was the most excited one to go to the game, especially because I was actually the only one to physically play soccer. …show more content…
The game was a little ways away from our home so we had to pack some extra food and of course, all of the team’s gear that we had. We finally left the house and by the time we got there, it was about an hour and a half before the game started. We took pictures in front of the stadium, you know, what all families do when they do these kinds of things. After that, it was finally time to go into the stadium. As we were going in, I heard a thump noise behind me so I looked back. There was a man about 60 years of age who had fallen on the ground with a cane gripped to his hand. I quickly went to the elder and tried to give a helping
I do not know other people who were on a soccer team but the one thing I know about them was that it was their We made two groups, one group was wearing green T-shirt and another group was wearing blue T-shirt. Each team had eight players. I was in a Lepcha team and our T-shirt color was blue. We started to play soccer, the ball came to my feet
We went down by the players to try to get an autograph, and I was right next to Charles tillman! The person next to me got his autograph but I got a high five. When I sat back down I felt the cold plastic from the seat. The game started and the sun started to come out. The warm rays shined on my side of the stadium so it got a little warmer.
There were several factors that played into why I chose to attend Truett-McConnell. I have played soccer since I was five years old and ever since I started I had a dream to play college soccer. My dream was to play soccer at Samford University in Birmingham, AL. My aunts, uncles, both grandparents, mom, dad, and now older brother have all attended Samford. Going there would have been fantastic but God had other plans for me.
What I remember is playing in a softball tournament in 2013 with my travel team. It was championship game day and to me, that day was very important. I was playing outfield and it was a new position for me so I had no idea what I was supposed to do besides catch the ball and throw it in to the middle infielders. I was unaware that the ball would be so slippery from the wet grass, which made it much more difficult to control. As the game continued, it started getting very intense and all we heard was the crowd continuously yelling after every pitch thrown or play made. Soon after the fifth inning began, a shallow fly ball was hit to where I was in left field; I began running for it and all of sudden everything went black. I felt like I had just
Remember the days where the kids used to holler and run in the park, and swing in playgrounds on nice summer afternoons while the parents sat on benches. Maybe they had a soccer lesson after and played a basketball match with friends at YMCA. But today, kids run with sports gear to tournaments conducted by "elite" Little Leagues, while the parents who drove all over town to find the stadium settle down into the bleachers ready to observe every move their kid makes in the game. And of course, they share their complaints to other fellow parents about the coach, who is getting paid half of their paycheck. After a gruesome match on a field that is way too big for the kids, the parents provide some Greek Yogurt and ample of suggestions on how to
I was so excited that I got to finally experience a Packer game and know what it feels like to be in stadium during a game. It was the day of the game and I couldn't wait to leave I just wanted to get there soon as possible. It was just Me, my mom, and my dad that went to the game because neither of my sibling like football.
The impact that soccer has had on the United States has drastically changed the American society and it will continue to mold the culture for years to come. Soccer, in one or more ways, has had some part in the lives every American citizen, whether it be the money spent by the government on stadiums and professional teams, or the time spent watching and playing the game. Although the sport did not have a strong early presence in American lives it has substantially grown in recent years, thus effectively popularizing soccer in every corner of the globe. The sport plays an important role in modern American society and has a bright future ahead of it.
Sports play such a huge role in our society; many people form their lives around watching or playing a certain sport. In my house, when football season starts, my dad and brother watch football religiously every Sunday and Monday. On Sundays some of my dad’s friends come over to watch the game, my mom prepares snacks and lunch for “the guys”. When the game is on they are so interested in it, that they have no idea what is going on around them, I try to talk to my dad when the game is on and he always seems to ignore me. I love how they get so into the game, and cheer really loud and yell at the television. For them like many other people, they have found football to be a hobby, something to do in there past time. They have formed habits around watching the game.
I remember my dad always watching soccer news every night before going to bed. All my family loves soccer, we have this tradition that when a Mexican team plays we all get together to watch the game at my mom’s house. I think that’s what makes me love soccer as much as I do. Playing soccer also helps me to relax and to be confident when I have stress or after a long day at work. It's not just about kicking the ball or scoring
Soccer has always been a part of my life since I was four years old, it has also been in my family for a very long time. My father played soccer all his life and also in college, the same thing goes for my sister she also played in college. So soccer is in my blood and because of that reason and because I have been playing since I was four years old it has taught me some very important lessons that will benefit me greatly through the rest of my life.
Soccer the most popular sport in the world, since is the sport with more active players with around 270 million athletes. By having registered so many players, it’s not surprising that this sport has more fans than any other sport worldwide. Every team looks for a player that moves the ball, and that creates plays to score. This means a person that pass the ball through the entire game. To pass the ball in a proper way is one of the main skills a player needs to play soccer. Passing the ball, keeps the game going. Without being able to pass the ball accurately to your teammates, more than likely your team won’t be able to score a goal. The key for passing is to keep things simple. This means passing the ball to your nearest teammate that is not marked by an opponent.
Passion has its place I grab my tattered bag and clean cleats and run out the door to my awaiting teammates. As I walk down the stairs my legs feel fresh and ready to work. I open up the car door and smile to my two teammates as we head off to practice. This marks the fourth time this week that I had to leave my piles of homework at home to go to practice. However, soccer does not feel like an obligation anymore to my teammates and I. It has become a part of our lives that we could not live without.
With so many distractions going on in my life, soccer provides the perfect escape for me. Regardless of family problems or a fight
As the crowd begins their chants and anthems, the teams take their places upon the pitch. The ground is shaking underneath you and smoking flares are lighting up around the stadium. Welcome to the world of football. Soccer has become a way of life for many and an escape from reality. It is the game for any class and will steal your heart with the art that comes with it. Soccer isn’t just a sport, it is a religion many follow, but most importantly it brings masses around the world together. We call this, the Beautiful Game. If this claims to be the most popular sport around the world, why is soccer not considered a big sport and why has it never caught on in America?
American Football is not merely a sport, its a culture. In the south football is in some ways a lifestyle. From the rivalries to the championships its truly one of the most exciting sports to have ever been created. This is why I love it so much, it is much more than just a game it has a much deeper meaning to it. From the outside looking in, many people do not fully realize the impact it has on each and every player throughout its history. Football has made me who I am today.
