An Essay On Becoming A Soccer Player

As a young girl, I was introduced to soccer by my father. I think I was about eight at the time when I first played on a recreational team, and I remember that I had always wanted to play goalkeeper. In soccer, the goalkeeper is the last defensive player, but is also the first offensive player once the play turns. The idea of playing such an important position thrilled me, and it didn’t hurt that the goalkeeper gets the opportunity to use their hands as well as punt the ball across the field. From the age of nine until the age of eleven, I played competitive and recreational soccer as a goalkeeper, and stopped in the sixth grade.

The game of soccer is like a roller coaster. From laughter, during Thursday night pasta nights to tears, as we fought a hard loss, we will never know what to expect. That is the beauty of the sport and life because we have to be ready for anything that comes our way. We see how soccer is not black or white or win or lose.

I was getting of the bus at Pike High School to start my high school soccer career. I remember being extremely excited and happy to finally get the season started. The team stepped off the bus and formed two lines to walk to the fields to warm up. I began my warm up feeling fresh. I got plenty of sleep the night before and I was not too nervous.

It was a cold day in November: an icy breeze blowing across a green soccer pitch in Jackson, Mississippi. Fans along the sideline cheering on the Jackson Elite FC. I took the field feeling the pressure of gameday bearing down like i had weights on my shoulders. This was the first time I had every started as a forward in a soccer game.

As a young boy growing up, I like many sports, but soccer was my all-time favorite. I loved soccer because I was also good at playing the sport as well as analyzing games.

It all began back when I was three years old at my first season of recreational soccer. The YMCA was where the love and passion for soccer started. I later moved to the big leagues of Big Sun recreational soccer to me it was like the professional league. I met the best coach ever, Coach Judd Davis. He inspired me to be the bomb.com player and introduced me to competitive soccer. So that next year I played on a U12 team as a fourth grader. When I made this team it was at that moment my dream to play professionally was born.

I started playing soccer when I was eight. It was house league which means girls and boys mixed, and my dad coached. I though it was gonna be awesome. Apparently the people who made the teams thought that Courtney was a masculine name and placed me on a team with all boys. This didn’t vex me though because my dad was coaching, and I didn’t need to talk to the boys anyway since I just played defence and all I did was sing to myself and pick the clovers that littered the field. Plus boys have cooties. I kept playing house league for two years, until people started to get pretty good and I was still smaller than most people my age. I stopped playing for two years because I became aware that I wasn’t the best player on the field, also being the coaches daughter was no longer the exciting privilege it used to be.

Over all my athletic experiences, the first one I ever experienced and remembered was when I was 6. I went to the park with my family. It was a tradition that on a certain day of the year our entire family goes to the park. I never saw a soccer ball before that day. When my uncle and aunt came and saw us I noticed the ball in his bag. I later asked him what it was with the best English I could. He told me it was called a soccer ball. He showed me how to play with it. Then my dad, uncle, and I all went to a flat grassy area and started to play pass. I remember how hard it was to kick the ball. I struggled in the beginning then later, I started aiming and kicking the ball better than both of them. They were impressed by how good I was. After

It was my first soccer game for my new club, and i was as nervous as if it was the first day of school. When I was younger I played soccer for many different organizations. The first organization that I played for was a church league called Upward, I played for this organization for about three years. Once I had grown out of playing there, I moved to to play at Concord Youth Soccer League. This was still not very competitive, compared to the team that I play for now. Once I turned 10 years old I finally moved to a club team. Playing for a club was a completely different environment. There were many more people and much more competitive. Playing my first game for Michiana Echo was very different from when I played for Upward or Concord. The field was much bigger, there was many more people on the field, and the rules were different. Our first game was at our home field, MIchiana Echo fields. With all these new experiences with people and soccer this is one of my memories I will never forget.
