Becoming A Soccer Player

Soccer is a type of game that uses a lot of energy and techniques. It is played and enjoyed on the poorest playground. People watch and play soccer daily for leisure and for some, it is a profession. It is a universal game that is being played and enjoyed all over the world. It would be unfair to say that soccer is only important because of the pleasure derived from playing and watching the game. That would be incorrect because soccer is the most famous sport due to its exceptional enhancement and maintenance of quality health, the impressive social bonding which occurs during play and how it builds up communities.

Approximately four years ago, twelve of us accepted a position on team that none of us, not only knew anything about, but also did not expect much from. We were twelve individuals that were seeking a college soccer experience at the division I level and if you ask any of those girls back then, none of them could have predicted the reality of the four years that we would ultimately spend here. This team had experienced heartbreak in freshman year on many levels, battled through the pain of losing in the semi-finals of sophomore year, and again losing in the finals last year. To be a part of this program is unlike any experience I’ve had before. There is always a supportive and positive environment; there is always progress being made every

What makes soccer players so great? What about tennis players? These two sports are both compelling in different ways and are complete opposites in more ways than one. When trying to choose between the two, there are some major differences to take into consideration. Both exercise the body and can be a great way to have fun, although it might depend on what they players preferences are when it comes to deciding between the two. The differences between soccer and tennis are striking and they merit examination by those who wish to choose between the two.

I’ve studied my share of sports and it says soccer is a sport that many people enjoy but there are times when things can get from good to bad. I believe the whole point about playing soccer is making sportsmanship with others, and just enjoying yourself on the field and making sure each game is a game to remember. I’m a soccer player myself, sure I get upset when I lose a game but then I think to myself tomorrow's a new day. Soccer was important in the past because the rules back then were much different than the rules know in the present. So improvements over the years have changed soccer to be safer and more exciting.

The feeling of defeat is one like no other. It was my freshman year, and I had just made varsity soccer for Vestavia Hills. The goal for the team: 7A state champions.

“Practice makes Perfect” Soccer is a sport that requires hours and hours of practice in order to obtain the technique need to play at a high level, making the game much more enjoyable to watch and to play. In the article “What Video Games Have to Teach Us”, the author James Paul Gee explains how “Good games operate at the outer and growing edge of a player’s competence, remaining challenging, but do-able…Since games are often challenging, but do-able, they are often also pleasingly frustrating, which is a very motivating state for human beings” (4). When this thought is compared to soccer it can be noticed that soccer is one of the most technique needed sports, every single thing that is done on the field whether its dribbling, passing, shooting,

“Carl, on the next play you will block the linebacker” said my coach. As I walk to the line of scrimmage, I see the linebacker who I should block for the play to be successful. During my time playing football, I developed many skills and traits to become a better player. The skills I possessed while playing football can be put into use to become a successful network engineer. Communication, leadership, and a good strategist are the skills that can help me to become a good network engineer.

Specialization has also been topic of discussion in lacrosse, with many advocates of multi-sport athletes, including those college coaches” that would be hard for the academy to survive in the US (Source # 23 pg.2-3). The most obstacles to accept soccer is from over-coaching and over-parenting. Coaches should let the players be dominate in soccer not the other way around and parents should let their child to have fun, not to pressure them to win, scolding their children, insulting referees, and challenging coaches which causes the league to make the team forfeit. “Soccer has attracted parents who are middle – and upper-middle-class professionals, highly competitive, hard-driving, and who want desperately for their kids to succeed. The problem is endemic and leagues are now taking steps to curb parent overreaction to the sport, advising teams of forfeits unless parents are controlled” (Oliver pg. 8).

It is eight in the morning and today is the final soccer game of the season. The season coming to an end is a bittersweet feeling. The game starts at nine, but coach wanted us there early to warm up before the game. We are taking a bus to the field. Everyone is in the zone, so the bus is completely silent. On our way to the game I am listening to music trying to get my mind in the right place. We were going to go against the best team in the state. To some people it is just a game, but to my team and I this is the modern day World War 2.

A lot of times when other people see student athletes flourishing in their sport, they think the athletes didn’t earn their success, or that what they accomplished was just handed to them. This may be out of jealousy, or maybe they really do feel that way. However, in almost every case, the athlete is putting in extra work when no one is watching and, in some cases before everyone is awake. The players are striving to be the best they can be, and it is a long, difficult journey. Personally, I have committed to the hard work necessary to achieve success over my 13-year soccer career, but this was especially true the summer of 2016.

It’s always been in my genes to play sports and work hard at whatever I do. My grandfather played sports through his infancy and my father played soccer all through his life to become a better person, but financially he could not move to a distinct place that would allow him to play division two soccer in Mexico and then rise to play professional soccer. I worked hard when I first started to play soccer, I was a bit overweight and it didn’t allow my body to excel as my father wanted, but I worked hard. The experience that shaped my soccer career all began the beginning of high school at Aurora Central. This was a strange environment that I was not remotely used to. The school was massive to my perspective and I did not know how to navigate

The soccer ball rolled towards me and before kicking it in half a second, I felt the warm sunset kiss my wet, dirty face. I kick the ball as hard as I could with all of my strength making the ball curve into the goalie’s position. GOAL! I scored my first ever point out of all the games I have played with my team. As I was cheering with my teammates, I look back to see my family. They were all sitting there watching happily and shouting my name with praise. I jogged back to my position. I remember when my mom, my coach, and I went to the soccer shop to buy my own equipment for soccer. As I saw all these amazing things in awe, my mom and my coach already have bought me the things that I needed to play. I didn’t notice it until they brought me home with a surprise of a bag full of equipment.

The worst feeling in the world is the feeling of not being good enough. For people like myself that always strive to be the best, that feeling eats us up inside. At the end of my junior year soccer season, that feeling hit me like a runaway train. I did not play a single minute of varsity soccer and I watched every glorious win and heartbreaking loss from the bench. I felt rejected by my coaches and my favorite sport.

In any type of working environment, communication is one of the most important elements in any organization. With a corporate environment, professional communication is undoubtedly the one thing that every employee and manager must use in order to succeed with that company. For this student, communication is a key role in her everyday life, especially when playing college soccer. With soccer, you must communicate with your teammates on the field in order to work together as a team. Non-verbal communication with soccer is just as important as verbal communication. For example with verbal communication one teammate communicates with another teammate when they are playing the ball to them, or one teammate communicates to another teammate when
