Ever since I was a little girl soccer has been my absolute passion throughout my life. Anytime someone asked me what I wanted to do when I was older I would answer and say "I want to play soccer for a D1 soccer team." I started playing soccer when I was three years old just for fun. I played on a recreational team with my cousin until I was the age of seven. At seven years old, a coach noticed me in one of my recreational games and asked me to try out for his club soccer team. Since I loved soccer so much I, of course, went to tryouts. They went very well and I felt very comfortable. I was so excited to find out a few days later that I made the team because I would now be playing at a higher level and would be able to travel and play in soccer tournaments. This was just the beginning of my soccer …show more content…
I played for the same club team my whole life since I started when I was seven years old. While I played for the ODP team, most of the players were all on the same club team and they wanted me to switch and play for their club team as well. They played for the best club team in the nation for our age group and their coach played in the World Cup during her soccer career. Even though I wasn't going to be a fan of switching teams, I also did not have the money to play for that club team. The cost was about $15,000 a year and that is because they traveled to places like California and other far areas for tournaments. Every single player on that team went and played for a D1 college straight out of high school because of the coaches and connections they were exposed to. Their team was a much higher level than my club team but I also did not want to switch because I was so close to my team and coaches and always had a good time. I never felt more happy playing for a team than I did to my club team. This did not mean I was giving up on my goal to go
My team and I, who have been playing together for years, were all good friends. That season was when one of the owners of the league i played for went up to my coach (who was also my dad) and asked him if I was interested in joining the league’s club soccer team. I was so excited about doing it, but I also didn't want to do it at the same time. The summer before I played that season my brother had gotten me into liking basketball so I didn’t know what to do either stay in soccer, or start playing basketball. I also didn’t want to leave my team I was playing with because we had been playing together for years . So I end up declining the club offer, and finished the rest of the season with my team. I also ended up choosing to play basketball as my next sport and i still am playing basketball (I am hoping to try out for the GCA basketball team) as of right
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.
Playing soccer has also brought my family closer together. Both my parents and my sisters would come to all my games and support me. No matter the outcome of the game my family was always there for me. My family has been at my important games and the games that I am not so proud of. Even though they have seen the worst of the sport I still love having them watching me play. They have been the reason I have never given up. And I love making them proud. In the past year, my travel team folded and I thought that I would never have another team to play on. It was very upsetting knowing that I would not be playing with the same girls that I have played with my entire life. Yet, I joined an intramural team and started playing again. I played on a co-ed team for two more years before I graduated high school. On the intramural tea...
Playing on a travel team with the grade above me was fun. I knew I would play high school with them, so starting at a younger age helped us build friendships and chemistry. Having all these ups and downs throughout my soccer career gave me somewhat of an idea of how Jeannette struggled through her childhood. We had soccer lifting at the end of my 8th grade year.
When I had my baby, being involved in sports at all seemed impossible. Then one day, my friend Cory from work was telling me that her daughter wanted to play soccer. She then said that she was going to coach because no one else had volunteered in her area. The only problem was that she didn't know the first thing about soccer. That gave me an idea. I played soccer in high school, so I thought I could help her, so I did.
First, soccer is very important to me and I wanted to play for Ithaca College, but I was not given the chance to try out for the team. I remember I emailed the head coach between
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
This resulted in my overall enjoyment for soccer to be greater than it would have had I not suffered through tough practices and long road trips.
Soccer has given me many new opportunities to go new places and meet new people. Many of my close personal relationships have come from this. Many of these relationships have stuck since i was about a kid. These relationships have shaped me as a person because it has influenced my whole life by allowing me to develope and grow as a person.
I had just moved to San Diego,California. Back when I first started playing soccer, or futbol, I thought soccer was boring. I continued playing though, since my parents saw that this created lots of opportunities and relationships for me that I didn’t see at the time. I gained more and more liking for the game. Then 3 years later, I went to my first professional game in Los Angeles with my youth soccer team.
I sat on the sideline for the rest of the season cheering on my teammates and keeping stats for the team, but inside I was broken. For the next few months I tried my best to keep my spirits up and still participate in team activities even though it felt as though I was an outsider to something I used to know so well. Slowly, I began to lose my desire to follow through with arriving to practices and games because it seemed like my team did not need me anymore and if anything I was just a tag-along at every event. During my recovery process after high school season, I quit my club team because it cost my mom a lot of money that we did not have to waste on something I could not even participate in. By the time I was fully recovered, high school soccer season was approaching during my junior year.
I play soccer because I grew up in Monterrey, Nuevo leon and there everyone I knew played soccer including my dad, cousins, and my friends. Seeing them play grew my interest in the sport. So I started playing myself when I was four, and have always played since then. Even now almost everyone I know plays soccer or is at least interested in it. I play
The passion for soccer I had never thought about how much impact soccer has had on my life until I started working on this assignment when I had to answer the question “What is my passion?” The answer came to me before I'd even finished asking myself the question; soccer. The next question I instinctively asked myself after that was “Why?” Again, the obvious answer came to my mind; simply because I love it. I thought there was no need to elaborate more on that.
First of all, I’m a soccer player from Colombia called Cesar A. Forero Vera (as a Spanish person I have to last names). I came to study at Concordia, the reason of I am here is because I play soccer and I have the great opportunity to get a scholarship from this sport and an addition this is a good opportunity to get education. I’m 18 years old and I think that I’m a person with so many dreams and objectives in my live because I am really ambitious and it inspires me to want to be someone important to the world (in the way that I want to left an important legacy to the humanity about how to be better). I have a family and some friends which I love so much, this are the people who saw me growth and saw me breaking records in my live. I’m catholic,
However, everything changed the last year of school when I was curious to join other sport teams. Nonetheless, I was not sure if this decision would
