Analysis Of Nick's Foutbol Academy & Complex

Soccer, or football to most of the world, has been one of the oldest sports in the history of the world. It is by far the most viewed, played, and biggest attendance sport throughout the countries, with the exception of the USA. Being the biggest sport in the world means having the biggest fan base as well. This sport has become as close to many fans hearts just as the bible can change people who read it. In this paper, the reader will understand how soccer has changed throughout the years, what the ideals of a unified code are in this sport, as well as the differences and similarities between youth and professional.

The article focuses on the strategies used by the soccer Coach Roberto Gonzalez that allow his team to not only succeed academically, but also succeed on the field. In the beginning he believed in winning and that there is nothing more important than being victorious. After reading the Pyramid of Success, Gonzalez obtained a new outlook on how to coach. He “takes pride in his players getting A’s and B’s in the classroom” and tries to make sure that everyone has a chance to accomplish something (Sondheimer). One of the players on his soccer team, Justin Lopez, scored very high on the SAT and he is also exceptional on the field. In many of the low income parts of Los Angeles, immigrants have soccer unite them as a family. Lopez says that while

Once said by Socrates, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Change is exactly what Luma planned to do when it came to the refugee children whom she was coaching. It became apparent that people, much like the children, tend to gravitate towards others with a similar background like Luma whom was an immigrant herself. However, once the game of soccer began, eleven kids from eleven different countries came together and played the game as if they were a common unit. Ultimately, With the refugees coming from another world, it became difficult for them to adapt due to their previous lifestyle.

Growing up in a Hispanic household my family’s culture has had a significant impact in my life from avoiding a different variety of salsas and thinking twice about my immature decisions. Yet their love for the beautiful game known as Fútbol or soccer has always held on to me and is inspiring how it brings together an entire world or in this case my fanatic family. With soccer in my blood, as many relatives love to think, I’ve grown to love the sport, but my love was limited by restrictions. With an un-financially stable high school placing soccer in the bottom of the list of funds, my love for the game only stretched to amateur pickup games and watching ninety minute games on FOX Deportes. With limitations affecting my passion I began to follow

Soccer and Football have long been high class sports with ample amount of respect and dignity, groomed through history. Regulations and guidelines have been set in stone and shifted throughout the course of competition. Safety is key in both recreational sports and has become essential for the protection of the people that participate. Stylistically the two sports contain a different overall goal, however the techniques vary. From a beginners point of view the sports seem derived from a primary source, however in the overall scheme they differentiate through many different loop holes. These differences will be depicted throughout the essay, allowing the reader to grasp a better understanding of the sports as a whole. In reality soccer and football are extremely similar, yet diverse in many ways.

At the young age of ten years old, Ethan traveled to Northern Mozambique with his father to rehabilitate water wells. He began kicking his shiny, high quality soccer ball with children in the community and noticed their makeshift balls, created from plastic bags and twine (Couch). Ethan recalls, “When I left [Mozambique], I gave away the soccer ball, and the kids went wild, starting cheering. It was crazy” (Couch). Ethan’s generous spirit urged him to give away the ball, a simple act that changed his life completely. The priceless smiles and shouts, filling the air with hope, resonated in his head. During the return flight to the United States, he decided to begin recreating the moment for more kids around the globe by sending out soccer balls, an idea he named Charity Ball in 2010 (Singer). Ethan resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan, as a 17 year old who still loves soccer. He plays on a club team called Midwest United and the Region II team in part of the Olympic Development program (“Charity Ball”). Gaining support proved difficult in the early stages of Charity Ball. Multiple rejected phone calls left Ethan unsure about his vision, but he refused to give up. Eventually major athletic brands began positively responding, including Franklin, Rawlings, and Wilson which fueled the process (Couch). Ethan’s creativity, generosity, and perseverance in bringing his simple idea to life has spiralled into Charity Ball, a successful and growing

I observed three little boys playing and climbing on a slide. Nick, the little boy in the blue shirt and tan pants was climbing up the slide, using the steps and holding on to the wooden side to help him get to the top. He was grasping a wooden toy in his hands as he was climbing. There was another little boy climbing up the slide pushing a wooden toy as he went up the slide; the third little boy was climbing up the steps. When Nick got to the top of the slide he slid down really fast. The other little boys did not wait; they also slid down the slide. Nick ran from the slide to another area where a child was playing with a tower and cars. He did not talk to the child, but took the car he wanted and began to play with it and the tower. Nick

Thesis: Soccer is a sport like no other, and it has a very unique culture with in the game itself.

Eden Prairie Soccer has been a part of my life since I was four years old. All the experiences soccer has given me throughout the years helped make my mission trip to Haiti so successful. While in Haiti, football (soccer) is a huge form of entertainment among the children of the village we visited. The experiences the Eden Prairie Soccer Club has made it possible to connect with the children in Haiti through soccer. First, soccer has taught me many ways how to communicate on the field, through hand gestures, body language and verbal cues. In Haiti, there was a language barrier so hand gestures and body language became crucial when communicating to the children. These gestures were not just helpful when playing soccer, but also when playing

Playing soccer on his current soccer team has been the most significant event in Dennis’ life. Five years ago, Dennis was a victim to his malicious allergies. Exposure to outdoor activities were difficult for him as he constantly had extreme reactions. At that time, we decided that Dennis would have to combat his allergies rather than temporarily subside them through medicine. Then, we found a soccer team. At first, Dennis seemed curious and ready to play, but the team he played for was unstable and new with a constant losing streak. With his allergies only getting worse, he faced the decision of quitting. However, friends and family prevented him from taking the easy way out.

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

Soccer has always been a sport that I’ve loved throughout my childhood. I’ve watched superstars like Sami Aljaber and Yousf Althunyan put on epic performances through the expression of soccer. However, I never truly understood what soccer could do for me until I signed up for my first soccer team. It was in high school, and I was only sixteen years old at the time. I was very excited to have my own team, and to have my statistics being recorded throughout the season. I definitely wanted to test my skills on the soccer field against true competitors that wanted to win just as badly as I did. There were local schools that we had to compete against, and then if we made it far enough, we would get to compete at the state and national levels. When I signed up for my high school soccer team, I truly didn’t know what to expect. I expected to have some fun with my new teammates and friends, but I didn’t realize that it would teach me a valuable life lesson about hard work and discipline. This paper will explain the ups and downs that I’ve had throughout my high school soccer years, and how it helped me become a better person today by instilling positive traits such as hard work, determination, and discipline.

My vision this summer came alive with the help of the Kokomo YMCA, when I was granted the opportunity to coach Centipede Soccer. Centipede Soccer is the perfect introduction to the game of soccer for children of the ages 3-5. The mission of this program is that the children will learn the fundamentals of the game in a non-competitive atmosphere, while working on motor skills, coordination and listening skills. The benefits of the Y’s youth sports programs for the little ones are big both on and off the field. My role as the coach was to find fun ways to make this a great first time soccer experience for all the children by showcasing the different skills and objectives of the game but also advocating new skills to maintain a
