Soccer
Playing soccer was my passion, and I knew it from the very beginning.
Every day, every night, soccer was always present in my everyday life.
Since the day I was born, I’d always pick up a soccer ball and kick it around, trying to achieve my goal of being a
PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYER.
The sport is so magical, like an animation in a movie.
Everything about it taught me lots of major lessons that I still benefit from every day.
From the moment you meet your teammates that become brothers to you,
To the coaches that become like another family figure in your life.
Every touch you take needs to be precise in order to move through defenders, trying to get hold of the ball at your feet.
Every pass you make needs the right amount of power and spin to generate a quality roll on the ball to your teammate.
Soccer teaches you not just the physical part but how to interact with your peers and opponents.
Successful teams have players that are willing to stay positive and keep players motivated when parts of the game don't go your way.
Talking on the field helps your team give advice on how to play better and adapt different tactics.
Being positive on the field is crucial in order to play calm and be an active player on the roster.
Sometimes you won’t always play as much as you would like.
People have bad games where they feel like they aren’t good enough.
Staying positive helps keep your team from arguing with each other while also helping you remember that everyone isn’t perfect and bad games will occur.
Playing the game of soccer brings people together and teaches others important lessons in life.
It shapes people to who they are as a person and how they go about their everyday lives.
