Soccer is a sport that I love. I find it irresistibly better than any other sport. The first time I kicked the soccer ball was when I was five years old. From early on I knew it was the sport that I would continue on playing. Soccer is my favorite sport because I am good at it, it is a very physical sport, and I enjoy the social aspect of the game as well. As far back as I can remember I have always been good at soccer. My position is a goalkeeper and I keep all the balls out of the net. I love it when people scream my name and cheer me on. My team constantly needs me, and I like it when we are working together. Most of the time, I have what is called “A clean sheet” in a big tournament. This means that no goals are scored by the other team. As I have gotten older, I have become better and better at playing soccer. Soccer is a very physical …show more content…
sport and dangerous as well. There is a lot of running in the game. If you do not have good conditioning you will not be able to keep up. I have been attacked by others players and injured many times. My coach always tells me that I should use 80 percent of my head and 20 percent of my body. Whenever I make mistakes I have to charge the offence and get it back. Being able to use all the speed and energy that I have, as well as being very physical, excites me. The game of soccer can be very social and build strong community.
I have traveled and spent time with many friends that have become like family. I love it when I see people united and working together. Meeting so many friends from other places is so much fun. When ever I travel to another place the people there treat me really nice. They are so generous and show great hospitality. While traveling in a group, I get to see many different things. Traveling with others and meeting so many great people, causes me to take pleasure in playing the game of soccer even more. Playing soccer has many benefits that make it my favorite sport. Soccer is a contact sport and I love the way that people have to work together in order to succeed. My strengths are used when I am playing this game and being competitive. I feel that I grow stronger as a person too. Traveling and meeting new friends adds a great social facet to the game as well. Soccer is just like a dream come true for me. One day I wish to become a professional soccer player and live out my soccer
dream.
Soccer has guided me in many ways to become the person I am. Especially in high school, the sport has showed me how to be much more cooperative and open with others. Before high school, I isolated myself from others and had only a few close friends. Rather than being a sociable, I acted as though I was the only person in the world and had the outlook that as long as I do what is right individually, there is no need for me to work with others. This outlook changed when I joined the soccer team at Holy Spirit, my high school. With the way soccer is at the high school level, I had no choice but to cooperate and associate my selves with others. Once on the field, instead of introducing myself as "me" I had to introduce myself as a part of the team. You win as a team and you lose as a team. Sometimes I wanted to drive to games myself, and I was not allowed to because we are supposed to travel together and it would be wrong to the team for me to separate myself from the group.
Being involved in a sport was one of the best things I ever did. I starting playing soccer at the age of 7 and did not stop until I was out of high school. I loved to play soccer more than anything, I would play fall soccer, spring, winter, and summer leagues, and I could never get enough of soccer. I too, just as Mox had a couple of coaches I did not agree with, I hated to play for them because I felt that they had other motto’s besides just coaching the team. I would still play because I loved the game but did not agree with what they had to say. If I had a good coach I would play my hardest to help the team out.
From an early age I always knew I would be playing soccer my whole life. My dad showed me the ropes of how to play and got me interested right away. By the age of three I had started playing, and to this day I have not stopped. Soccer has been a huge part of my life and I don’t know where I would be today if I never played. I met some amazing people playing soccer including my coaches who encouraged me and told me never to give up as well as my teammates who became my friends and were always there for me.
While I have developed my soccer skills over the years, the relationships I have built with people are treasured more than my ability to play the game. Playing soccer has granted me the opportunity to be surrounded by an extensive family of people who truly love me. I am forever indebted to the sport for bringing me into love-filled relationships with players and coaches alike.
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.
Imagine the excitement of stepping on to a Champions League field, playing in the final, and listening to all 47,569 fans screaming in anticipation. That is the excitement that soccer brings into your life. Soccer is the 3rd favorite sport in the USA after basketball and then baseball but, it is the most popular sport in the rest of the world. The World Cup is the most watched sporting event in the world. I think soccer is the best sport in the world because the World cup is the most watched sporting event in the world, People start soccer at a young age, and the injuries that come with playing soccer.
When I turned three, I started playing my favorite sport to this day, Soccer! I love soccer because it gives me this feeling of excitement and I just love winning with all of my friends on the field. I loved soccer and I looked forward to it every day. I met a lot of my friends in soccer and it is one of the reasons that I started to become an athletic person. Soccer is still my favorite sport and I love it. I am planning to still play soccer up to the varsity team.
My experience on the soccer team has been great. I have gotten much better than when I first joined, which is always a good thing. My teammates are always helpful and never speak lowly of me when I make a mistake. We continue to grow together and share a special bond that we will keep strong for as long we play
While playing soccer through the years, I have learned the importance of being a team player, a leader, and to think outside the box.
Soccer is the best sport to ever be played on this earth. It is a sport of teamwork, dedication, and practice. It is also a high intensity and for the most part a fast paced game to play. Soccer is the best sport because it takes a lot of skill and technique to play the game well. Soccer is the best sport that a person can play.
Being blessed with another day of life, waked up by the sunrise of a beautiful day. Had a couple of peaceful seconds in my mind, but eventually I started to remember all the things I had to do by the end of this infinite day. Just by thinking about it got me exhausted. I got up from my comfortable bed and took a warm shower. While, taking a shower, I was thinking of a million things; how I was going to present my project in engineering class. Or how I was going to finish my other projects for my other 3 classes? What can do to improve on my soccer skills and accomplish varsity this year? How I was going to get accepted into college and how I’m paying for college? Problems that make me feel in a diverse world. However, I checked if I had everything
I was always taught that soccer was to be about the love of the game and that it should be fun. Unfortunately, I faced many obstacles that I needed to overcome before I could truly love the game for what it was worth. I grew and continued to love the game, knowing little at the time of the obstacles I would be faced with, and would need to overcome. My struggles with soccer began early in my life. I was an average player, who had a drive to succeed and go far.
When I grow up I will become a soccer player. I will become this because I really love the sport. I have played for soccer for seven years and I don’t plan to quit. I play as a forward on a select soccer team named the St. Louis Prospects.
It occasionally disappointed me when our team would have a small fan turn out because the football team had a conflicting game, but I was still more than content to be playing soccer. By the time I was a senior our soccer team was considerably more competitive than the football team and throughout my four years of high school I saw the crowd grow every season. I could see the sport growing in my town and it brought me great joy seeing people start to appreciate the sport I had chosen from a young
