To become a professional soccer player is very difficult but there is also a way that you can raise the probability into having a slight chance, and even though it’s an option it’s not easy to do. According to the U.S Develop academy it shows that to join a soccer academy team is one of the hardest thing a soccer player can achieve, cause not only there are only few amount that make it but you must have 6 years of division 2 or higher experience and not only that but you have to compete with over 130 players (U.S Soccer academy). This proves to join an average academy team is harder than joining any other sport because not only you must have 6 years of soccer experience and you are competing against the best of the best which are more than a hundred players. Not only proves that joining a top team is competitive but it’s nearly impossible for anyone that didn’t plan what they need to master. On the NCCA charts it shows the statistics of sports and the amount of players that get scouted but according to soccer it has the least that gets drafted but the one of the sports to have the most players overall (NCAA.com). These results show that college soccer can be considered one of the most popular sport but the amount of players that get drafted in soccer compare to any of the other is less, so if soccer has one of the most participants and the lowest ratio with only one out of four hundred college player goes pro this can conclude that it’s the hardest sport to get drafted. In U.S drafting determines the players that get recruited concluding that soccer is the lowest to get drafted from Division colleges this proves that soccer is the hardest sport to go pro in the U.S. On this website Quauro “Nick Humphries” stated, “the reason why

Youth Soccer has evolved into a fiercely competitive arena. More and more children are leaving recreational leagues to play in highly competitive select leagues. Select leagues are made up of teams, which players must tryout or be selected to play for. I had the unfortunate task of being an evaluator at such a tryout. Fifty ten-year-old boys had come out for a three day tryout in which forty five of them were placed on three teams. Cuts were made on the field and for those boys who had made a team it was a very exciting, but for the five boys who were cut it was absolutely heartbreaking. Had the children been older they might have been able to deal with the disappointment better, but for most of them it was their first real experience with public "failure". Select leagues have the potential to teach and promote important life skills such as hard work,...
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.
Living in Haiti comes with its perks, growing up surrounded by soccer being one of them. As a child, my godfather could constantly be seen kicking a ball around, always in his element when on a field, according to my father. His passion for the sport was exceptional, and so, he decided to continue expanding the sport and his love for it by starting the FC Toro soccer club. Likewise, I can see that passion in the eyes of first younger brother every day, working hard to accomplish his dream of someday becoming a professional soccer player. And so, when my godfather proposed to start an all-girls soccer team, I was zealous to be a part of it. Today, soccer is one of the biggest parts of my life, and I am continuously training to improve my

Soccer is not seen as a non-traditional sport for women, especially not since the US Women's National Team won the World Cup in 1999, but like most women's sports it was at one time thought of as a male only sport. I grew up in a very athletic family, where both my brother and my father loved to play soccer, so naturally I fell in love with the sport at a very young age, in fact I was about 5 when I started playing. At that time I was one of the few girls playing in the only peewee league; a league that was co-ed. It was really hard for me and I can remember the frustration I went though, because none of the boys believed that I was capable of playing at their level. In their mind I was just a girl and there was no way that I would ever be able to compete with them. This attitude did not just disappear with age, in fact it followed me until I finally found one of the local girls team. I am going to explore the challenges that women have to go through daily in order to compete at the highest-level possible. There are many issues that women must face concerning how they define themselves as a woman and how to relate to the rest of society.

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.

For many it is a way of life, and people go to their church, temple or mosque every Saturday or Sunday and even during the week.
