Being Rude As A Soccer Player

Do you know anyone who is interested in playing soccer? Well if you do tell them that I am a team leader for a soccer team and I have some great advice for them. Please tell them that in order to become a good soccer player you must always be a team leader,don't get lazy on the field, and always stretch before a game or practice.

On graduation day 2014, I would leave the only people I have known for nine years. Although all I knew were these people, I was more than happy to leave this small private school and have a change for once. Here at St. Mark Catholic School we only got one new person a year if that even happened. If you were new everyone judged everything about you to find out who you really were. As Jennifer Ouellette author of “Tokens and Totems” says, “We all make snap judgements when we meet new people, relying on certain cues to make assessments, and those judgements often can be accurate, at least in broad strokes” (23). We called the people who have been attending the school since kindergarten the “originals.” Since the “originals” have all grown up together, everything in your life that happened, they knew it. Not only that is if they did not get their way, they would use anything bad that happened in your life against you. If something had made you different they used that to

I chose to play another year of recreational soccer, making sure to come back the next year to prove a point that I can put in the work and give myself the best opportunity to make the top team. Everyday after school, I would head to the fields and practice every aspect of my game. I would arrive an hour early to every practice, and I would leave an hour after practice. Day in and day out, I worked diligently on my fitness. For a year, I stopped at nothing to give myself the best chance I could to reach my goal. Motivated after that dissapointing tryout, nothing could stop me from doing my best. Standing on a different field, one year later, tryouts began. I was determine to produce my best performance. Two hours later, every player stood single file. Coincidentally, I was the first person called up; the coach informed me that I made the top team. However, this team played for a different club than the one I tried out for last year. This team competed at a much higher level. Not only did I make the team, but I gained the knowledge and appreciation for hard work and dedication. People rarely receive everything they want; however, they can always put in their best effort to provide themselves the best opportunity at obtaining what they

Our goals for the midfielder are to improve endurance and enhance lactic tolerance. We also aim to improve the athlete’s lateral quickness and anticipatory skills, and build the players body to maintain during the physical beating of the season. Most importantly our goal is to improve his performance, speed, agility, and quickness.

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

Goals are something that each individual should have, however, they can be short term or long term. My short term goal over the next year; I would like to

“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.

Emotionally and mentally I really wasn’t doing well, but on the field my goal kicks were improving rapidly. That was probably the only thing keeping me committed to practicing, because I thought if my kicks are improving then so will juggling, my rainbow, and foot work. I quickly realized that it takes more than a couple of days to improve on really anything. I wanted to practice everyday I could, even if I had plans that day I would still try to practice some type of soccer skills, or things related to

Goals, for some people it can be being under the Friday Night lights, or being on the court, shooting the winning basket for your team. Regardless of what your goal is, it usually takes a lot of time, hard-work and effort to get there. It requires a lot of falling down in order to get better and come back up that much stronger. For some, it comes easy, their talent or skill is inept or they are a natural at whatever it is that they are doing. For others, their skill is challenging for them, or they have to work at is constantly to maintain or better themselves in the skill. Nevertheless a goal is something that anybody, whether it is an athlete, student, or musician, will work at tirelessly to reach. For me, it was getting to ILMEA All-State during my high school career.

Working in Education and Human Service careers means that we will be working with other people, some who might end up seeming rude. I agree with what the doctor said, I cannot assume someone is trying to be rude. As a teacher, I cannot take rude students or parents personally. I especially cannot react like the receptionist Ericka who was crying. I have to remain calm, even when I feel like someone is trying to be hostile or rude. The same situation might happen between future students of mine. Misunderstandings can easily occur between students that are in elementary school. A student might become upset because they believe a classmate was being rude, but the classmate might not have even been trying to come across as rude.

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

With 2016 quickly coming to a close, it's fair to say that it's now a time for reflection, vision casting and goal setting. It's a time to look back and see what worked and what didn't work out. It's a time to review the overall vision of your life and how this year aligned with it. It's also a time to look toward 2017 and see what the next moves will be. One of the nice parts of preparing for the New Year is that there's a sense of hope and excitement about the future. However, there are three things you must remember as your set your 2017 goals and prepare for success.

On the other hand, there are others who were just born rude. They say anything they want to others without thinking. There facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice contribute to this. These are the people who are really negative in life. I don’t see how people can just say whatever out their mouth without even thinking of how others would take it or how it would make them feel. When people are being rude they are revealing who they are as a person in life. They are weak-minded. This shows how little their minds are and how they are working because only know how to be rude and disrespectful. People who always say, “They don’t care”, “I only care about myself”, “Nobody’s feelings matter to me”, and “It doesn’t concern me” are the people who fit in this kind of category typically because that’s their mindset and how they think. You really need to think about others and the way you speak to them

A goal I have is to become a better teammate with my Call of Duty team and Destiny team. I want to perform a lot better stats wise and with my team. I want my team to win and cooperate more. We win a lot together but we choke up a lot when it's a good team. This is important to me because I want to be a pro Call of Duty player or Destiny (if it becomes apart of esports). This is a goal I wanted to do for 3 years now. I am passionate about completing this and this is the first step. When attempting to keep my promise of completing this goal, I will achieve this goal by playing with my team a lot more and going up against teams that are better than us. I will also enter us in more tournaments and invest more time into being a better player myself.

The big three “rules to live by” that all people should follow are ¨Being kind can give make opportunities spark but being rude can lead you to being unhappy and just not feeling the way you should feel when you happy.
