I haven't really gone through something challenging In life something big that impacted my life n a negative way. The only thing I can think of Is when my club team broke up. Ths all started back in 2012. My friends and I were playing soccer for fun at the grass field near Fife High School. And my friend Anthony's dad was there. Hs dad's name was Mario and he used to have a team but not anymore. When we were done playing soccer he wanted to say something. He sad “ I want to make a soccer team and I want you guys to be on the team.” All of us got excited by hs announcement. We all sad that we should have a soccer team. So it was official we dd have a soccer team. We were already talking about team names and team jerseys. Few days later we had our first practice. Some friends that were on the team were Alvin Anthony Falani Fabian and Chrs. Most of them still go to Ffe and later on more of my friends joined the team. Few days later we had our first practice. There was about 7 players that went. Three of them I didn't know about. When we started practicing t was pretty bad …show more content…
Amd most mportantly I would no longer be bondng wth my brothers le we used to. Some of them I havent seen them snce the 2013. Most of them I seen but we barely tal.

Where we shared unforgettable memores we had. I stll mss when we wn games together and when we lose games. I wsh I could relve those moments. Those moments when had to go through adversity and the tmes that we laughed together get mad at eachother and cry when we would lose. I just wsh that I could have those moments
Many things have helped to shape my identity to make me the person I am. The most influential thing that has shaped me is my culture. One of the biggest pieces of my culture that has done this is my participation in sports. Out of the sports I play, high school soccer has shaped me the most. Soccer in high school shaped my identity by making me more social, a leader, and open minded about diversity.
Over the years, soccer has changed me as a person. I love thinking back at the great memories I had playing soccer. I plan to never stop playing soccer. Hopefully, I will play on the club team at Shippensburg and never give it up. This was one of my most memorable moments in my life playing soccer. Through soccer I made friends, learned how to be a team player and helped me bring my family closer together. If it wasn’t for soccer I wouldn’t be who I am today and I am very grateful for this.
I started playing soccer when I was four years old. At the time I had a lot of problems. To name a few, I was bad at working with others, I was a sore loser, and I did not handle pain or disappointment well. When I started to play soccer I had a low self esteem and was terribly shy. Going up and talking to people was not on my list of things to do. This made it pretty hard for me to fit in with all the other kids and make friends. It was hard to enjoy playing soccer when I felt as though I had no friends on the team. My parents noticed my dislike in the sport, but urged me to keep playing anyway.
After four years of a new team every season, I went into my first practice of my fifth soccer season expecting the same to be true. Play on this team for one year and then be randomly placed on a different one the following year. Little did I know this team, especially the coaches, would leave a lasting impact on my life. I gained an invaluable support system that has stuck by my side for an upwards of nine years.
I played soccer since I was seven, as of the last few years I played at a very high level. I have represented Ohio South two times at a regional showcase, I have been invited to participate in a camp in Manchester, England and attended the camp twice. Also last Season for the Newark High School soccer team I was named first team all league and third team all central district. Soccer was the first sport I truly loved to do, I wanted to be the best. I work hours upon hours to master whatever part of the game I wanted to improve on. Soccer has taught me to have a great work ethic, and that mentality came when I was cut from the state team the first time I tried out. It was the worst thing that has ever happened to me, I was destroyed, and I thought I was not good but I knew I could do better. The next year I worked, I got bigger, stronger, faster, my soccer I.Q. was higher;therefore, overall I was a much better player. The result of that work, was that I made the team, but not only, I made the starting line up. After that I knew I could accomplish anything I put my mind to.
Participating in a high school sport was a fantastic way for me to stay involved and an even better way to make close friends. With only losing one senior my sophomore year and one senior my junior year, three soccer seasons have and will be pretty much the same team. Spending four months, everyday, each season with teammates gives a person lifelong friendships. After graduating high school most people forget about games won, games lost, and high school sports in general. None of those are the important things anyways. It's the friends made throughout the
One incident that happened to me that change how I thought about sports was when I first started playing soccer. It all started when my mom said that I should join a sport to get me more active. It took me awhile to choose soccer at first because there were so many sports to choose from. I told my mom I wanted to play soccer. She signed me up to play for a non competitive league (GYSA) so I can learn the basics of the sport. She also told me to play I would have to maintain good grades. After hearing that i always tried my best in soccer and school.
Do you have that certain something that has affected your life for better? Football is that thing for me. I have played it as long as I could walk. I still remember the time when I was very little and my dad would take me to the front yard and we would play catch and talk about football for hours. I have enjoyed football in three big parts of life: Pee Wee, Junior High, and High school.
Everyone has life experiences. Some can be new and fun, like the first time ever going to Disney World as a child. Meeting your favorite movie characters and seeing stories come to life. Other can be tragic, like losing a loved one or suffering a car crash. No matter the experience we all learn from them. I am here to tell you about an experience of mine that I went through at an early age. At the age of 15, I told my parents that I wanted to play football. The sport of football really changed my view on life and taught me that things don’t come easy and that if you really want something, you’re going to have to put in the time and work. One of the many experiences of being in the sport of football is that practice is one of the toughest things I’ve ever went through, physically and mentally. Football taught me a lot about team work and working with others on doing and executing a job. Football made me faster stronger smarter and wiser. I had great coaches who always encouraged me to keep going whenever I wanted to quit because something was too hard or I was feeling
“Football changed my life and it gave me a platform to get out my aggression and it gave me a sense of value.” said by Dwayne Johnson. When I had nothing to do at home I could always go and play football with my friends instead of going out and doing something I shouldn’t. When you grow up with a family that loves football and goes to a school where the passion is mainly playing football. I ask myself every day what would my life be without football. If it wasn't for football, I don't know where I would be right now. Football kept me out of trouble and it also helped me out in school when I needed it the most. If I were to describe what makes me, me I would have to say its football.
“Pappa, please, please, please don't go to work on the second weekend of August. I need to try out for soccer!” I said enthusiastically.
While playing soccer through the years, I have learned the importance of being a team player, a leader, and to think outside the box.
Throughout my life certain events have shaped the person I have become today. The most relevant point to this change was the when I stood up for myself and said no to playing football like everyone wanted. This decision led to a split in the relationship with my dad, as well as a source of enemies in school, but I was proud of myself for doing what I wanted. I grew up in a small town in a large county. My dad was known by almost every person in the town, either through work or his work with the high school athletics program.
I have always had the same dream. Nothing has changed, and I doubt it will. Since I’ve been playing soccer, I’ve always loved it. “Training is key,” my father said. I was at the beach one day and I remember my father telling me that he wanted me to play soccer with him. I thought about it, and I decided why not give it a try. I loved soccer, but here was one problem that stood like a mountain between me and the Promised Land. That was school. School was like my prison. It’s kind of boring and it took 7 hours of my life each day. It was as exciting as my grandma’s birthday party. (Because it took so long and there were only old people) The youngest person there besides me was my mom and she’s old. When I was old enough to understand the importance of studying I kind of wanted to study but the
As I stepped on to the field in my new Nike orange and grey cleats I felt both alive and ready as well as scared and stressed. This was my first time on a soccer team in 5 years, I had no clue what to expect. Minute after minute of doing passing, shooting, dribbling, and defensive drills I got more and more frustrated. As ten o’clock rolled around, and our first practice came to an end, I realized
