3 Goals In High School

When I started my soccer career during my freshman year, I began in the junior varsity team. I was not so familiar with sports until I started playing football and soccer. I once believed that I was not good enough to join the team, but after committing myself to conditioning and being determined to give my best to every practice, I proved myself wrong. Not only did I make it to the team, however I was also a starting player. For the following year, my sophomore year, I transferred into a different high school. There, I played in the Varsity team as a right defense for my sophomore and junior year. This year, 12th grade, I will be a captain for the soccer team. I was able to not only build strong friendships with my teammates, but also with

The next big milestone in soccer for me was when I was a freshman in high school. I went to Troy High and didn 't think I was good enough to play high school soccer. If it wasn’t for my best friend’s dad, I really wouldn 't have played. He told me that I would regret not playing and that I had a lot of potential. I decided to try out with my three best friends and we all ran and did exhausting fitness exercises for weeks during tryouts. First, we’d have to do five laps around the track. In the beginning of the season, those five laps are a killer. By the end of the second one, I am usually out of breath. After that, we’d get into groups and do stations, like jumping over bars or doing sit-ups and push-ups, basically anything to get us into shape. The third part of practice was sprinting. I like sprints because I am way better at running faster for one-hundred yards, than doing a long distance run. The next part of tryouts were the best, all the girls would get put into two teams and we’d just scrimmage so he could see our real soccer skills. Coach Haviland, who was the varsity coach, decided teams after the tough two weeks. He said I had a little maturing to do on the field and that I will be on varsity in no time. I was shocked! I didn 't even think he was considering me. I had a lot of fun with the Junior Varsity team and made lots of friends. By

“When your legs can’t run anymore, run with your heart.” Spring is the best time of the year, because it is soccer season. Spring of 2016 was a special time to me, because I was a freshman at Wahlert Catholic High School trying out for the women’s soccer team. I went into the first open gym scared, nervous and excited all at the same. The open gyms were for use to get in shape for the actual season and for the coaches to get a better look at our soccer skills. Previously in the year of 2014 I played for a club soccer team called DSC or Dubuque Soccer Club. After that 2014 season was over I decided to quite DSC and try something different. So going into open gyms I knew that I was going to be a just a bit rusty because I haven’t played soccer in a while. As open gyms went on some upperclassman were telling me that the coach was very impressed by the skills I had. Being only a freshman it was very flattering to know that the coach thought that about me. Knowing this it drove me to keep pushing myself hard and hard, because my goal was to make it on varsity.

My big, hairy and audacious goal is to play division one girl college hockey. I chose this as my BHAG because it is an important athletic goal for myself. This BHAG will help me be successful in freshman year because colleges not only look at your talent of the sport, but also how you did academically and how hard you worked all four years of high school. I realize that it all starts now, freshman year. During the course of this year, I must persevere and do homework I may not want to do or make decisions that may affect plan with friends and such. Every time I will think something gets tough I will think of my goal and push through the difficult situation. By persevering, I will succeed and I will be able to play division one girls hockey.

One of my goals for 2016 is to get better at soccer. I want to do this because I really enjoy soccer and I want to improve. I can achieve this goal by listening to my coaches, not giving up, and practicing more. Soccer is one of my passions so I want to get better, which I can do

In 2017, I started to play soccer. This year, i signed up for soccer. I am on Tristin’s team. Our first game is September 30. We are gonna start having practice every Tuesday and Thursday. I am not that good at soccer because this is my first year playing. Everybody is better than me because they have all been playing for atleast 5

You will learn how to be loyal to your team, to your opponent and to your coach, as soon as they learn all the values soccer teaches you, you will start to relate this with your

Over the years, playing soccer has taught me what it takes to succeed. From months of tough practices, I have gained a hard work ethic. From my coaches and fellow teammates, I have learned to work well with others in a group, as it is necessary to cooperate with teammates on the playing field. But most important, I have also gained self-confidence. If I fail, it doesn't' t matter if they mock or ridicule me; I will simply try again and do it better. I realize that it is necessary to risk failure in order to gain success. The

After playing ball freshman and sophomore year, I began to lose motivation and love for the game. I began receiving less and less playing time and my confidence was being torn by the coaches. Throughout this time however, I had grown a love and appreciation for the sport of soccer. I had been playing informal pickup games on the weekends with friends. My parents encouraged me to try out for the team my sophomore

“I wouldn't be surprised if you made JV or Varsity” my mom would smile and say. I usually just replied with a simple thanks and smiled. With tryouts coming closer and closer and my parents and other friends and companions talking to me on how well I should play. I got determined. I felt some butterflies often and became tense when I thought about soccer. The sport I adore. Even though my parents weren't trying to put pressure on me and make me more confident,sometimes the way they word things made me think the opposite. As more determination filled me, I started to practice more and get ready for the tryout.

Making varsity your freshman year of high school is very uncommon due to all of the upperclassmen who have been playing for longer and who have also been on the team longer. My first wish is to make varsity my freshman year of high school on the Piedmont Lady Wildcat soccer team. I wish for this because I really do love soccer and making the team would really mean a whole bunch to me. Making the varsity team would make me feel like I accomplished something large. I could accomplish so much from being on the varsity team, I would have greater competition since I would be younger. If I tried I could also gather a scholarship easier into a college. If I do make the team that would show all of my hard work and dedication to the

Back when I was in high school, I had joined the girls soccer team. We as a team were not the best so we all individually had a set of goals the same goal that we would be the most improved soccer team of the year and that required actions. As said in the documents “Actions

An accomplishment I wish to achieve in 2018 is to improve skills in sports. Sports like baseball and basketball.Another good accomplishment would to be to work harder and get smarter so I get all A’s and maybe go to a good college.This change is important to me because I will have good grades and if I keep it up I could get a scholarship and have an awesome job. This will also be an amazing turn around because it is really fun and if I become good enough when i’m older I could be become an All-Star and be in the NBA or MLB and that would be a dream come true. This will also be an amazing turn around because I will have good grades and if I keep it up I could get a scholarship and have an awesome job.

I am trying to accomplish my goal by joining a select soccer team. I am joining a select team because they are more competitive and more strict. They also teach you more than non-select. I am practicing as much as I can and enjoy doing it. I go against my bigger brother, I practice juggling, passing, shooting, dribbling, and talking to my teammates. That is how I am going to accomplish trying to become a professional soccer player for the Women’s USA soccer

Soccer like most sports is no easy task, and takes a lot of time to improve. One of my favorite soccer players Lionel Messi once said, “You have to fight to reach your dream. You have to sacrifice and work hard for it.” I never knew the importance of working hard in practices before high school or outside of soccer. Working at the rate I was, it excelled me past most because I choose to step it up more that a notch. This made realize the potential I had until my freshman year. High school was an awakening to how hard
