Alex Morgan was drawn immediately to soccer at a very young age. Alex was born on July 2, 1989 in San Dimas, California. She grew up with parents who supported her in different ways. Alex Morgan’s mother is Pamela S. Morgan, her father is Michael T. Morgan, and her two older sisters are Jeni and Jeri. As a young girl the family moved to Diamond Bar, California (thefamouspeople.com). Morgan’s parents had supported her throughout her entire career. Alex Morgan’s father was her coach as a youth. Although Morgan’s mother didn’t coach her in soccer she found many ways to support her talented daughter. Alex’s mother and father are very different people. Alex’s mother would say, “Honey, if you lose, it’s ok,” but on the other hand Alex’s father would say, “You’ve got to be the best, no one remembers number two.” Alex Morgan said, “I feel really lucky to

On February 28, 2005, I experienced one of the most exciting events that anyone could ever experience – winning a State Championship. The day my soccer team made history is a day I’ll never forget. However it is not just that day we won the title, but the whole experience of the preceding season that got us there. From start to finish, my team’s 2004-2005 season taught me that the platitude is true. You can do anything you set your mind to.

September 27 is a day that I will always remember, no matter how old I get. McClain was competing against Miami Trace in a SCOL boy’s soccer match. It is always a close game when Greenfield plays Trace, but this year it was different than the previous few. The two teams were so evenly matched, even more so than than in the past. There were twenty minutes remaining in the second half and the Panthers were winning 1-0, but the game was even more highly

We had traveled in the minivan for 5 hours, for a group of 13 year old boys this trip felt like eternity. However, our excitement kept us all jaunting to each other about silly middle school shenanigans, who can dougie better, and how we were all going to “murk” this tryout. Johnny Evans, Malik Chatman, Gavin Rose, Ronnie Fountain, and I were all selected to try-out for the 14u Team South football team. This team would represent all the best players in the southeast and clash them against other regions best athletes. This would be a 3 day try-out. After leaving Orlando, the van had finally reached its destination. Coach Rose jingled to the car “Atlanta is the place to be, with orange peaches and southern tea,” we all stared at Gavin as his face turned as red as a Crayola. We pulled into the lot of the hotel all participating athletes had been assigned right off of I-75. We all unloaded the van of our luggage proceeded to the check in, Coach got the keys for room 325 and 326. I was so tired of riding in back of the van that I did not really care how the room would look as long as I could put my bags down and fall right into the bed. Malik, Johnny and I entered our room 326 to the right was with a bathroom sink, a mirror, and shower. On the left, a mini kitchen with a stove, island table, and refrigerator. In front of us, there were two wooden dressers pinned together with a television on top. Near the window, there was a small table with a lamp as well as chair in the corner.

Trevor’s dedication to soccer afforded him a trip to Barcelona this past spring break which was an incredible opportunity that allowed him to expand his horizons. Perhaps my favorite quality about Trevor when it comes to soccer is the time he spends playing and practicing with his younger brother, Connor. As skilled a player as Trevor is, he hopes that, one day, Connor will be even better than he is. This truly speaks to Trevor’s character; he not only wants and works for himself-- he wants and works for

I approached the gym, nervously changing into my soccer gear, and facing some very skilled players. I felt that because I had practiced so much, my abilities had definitely improved. Not only this, but because I had already experienced two nerve wracking years trying out, I knew exactly what Mr. McBurney would throw our way. My past would

I pulled my red socks up over my right shin guard, then my left. I slipped on my shoes, making sure they were knotted extra tight so they would not come undone. After I brushed my hair back into a ponytail and fixed my headband, I was ready. On the bus, everyone chattered about the upcoming game, music blaring, loud with excitement. The game featured my soccer team, Oak Hills, and one of our rivals, Ursula. Ursula, known for their great passing and winning record, was very well going to be one of the hardest teams we had to play. But, we were prepared and nothing could stop us.

Let me introduce to you, Tyler Martin. This ninth-grader is not only an amazing student with a thrive to pass ninth grade with flying colors, he’s an even more impressive athlete who has a passion for the sport he plays. While he continuously works on his academics, his persistence never seems to stop when it comes down to his favorite sport, soccer. Nothing seems to slow him down, not work loaded onto his plate, not an injury, and certainly not competition. If anything, competition makes him try harder, encouraging him to be the best. Everyone loves to win but to want to be the best? That requires a reason, a reason like wanting to make someone proud. Tyler’s reason happens to be his father, the man creating the passion for sports that Tyler

Entering that room, nothing could have prepared me for what was to come. As I sat there my heart dropped when I heard the words, "you made the team", "you are not going to play much", and "if you tryout next year you will not make the team". I was in such a daze as I reemerged from the room. It was as if the wind had been knocked out of me and I was having trouble understanding what had just happened. I had never felt disappointment like I did in that moment in my entire life. Soccer had been the only sport I knew for 8 years. Change had always been a struggle for me since I was little so I was aware that trying a new sport was going to be difficult. Field hockey captains practices were held during the summer, so I decided to go to one and

Well.. the winner! Let's play,” their coach yelled, as they began to play. It was crazy, the whole time both teams were tied. It came down to the last, finale seconds. Anzly took a deep breath in and out, then gave her friend Jessica the nod, that meant, go. They raced down the field passing back and forth, Anzly was lined up for the shot, the only thing between her and the goal was open space. Although her legs, and feet felt numb and rubbery, she gave the last kick all she had left as the clock counted down, 4...3...2...1. The ball went soaring through the air, going so fast you could hear it as it zipped toward victory. The goalie didn't even know what was going on as it flew right past her head and pushed into the back net, scoring the winning goal! Everyone went nuts as they ran toward Anzly to congratulate her. Anzly felt a new sense of pride and confidence as she was lifted into the air and felt the cool breeze on her face. She heard the echoing of her teammates and friends cheering her

It was a warm fall day in late October down in Texas. Toby and his best friends, Jake, Will, and Conner were all on their way ridding their bikes to the football field to play a quick game of two-on-two. For there high school team the Red River Riders, Toby was the starting quarterback, Jake is a wide receiver, Will is a second string running back but a staring linebacker, and Conner was just a lineman but can do all that stuff better then them. When they got to the field it was Conner and Will verses Toby and Jake. Everyone switched from quarter back to wide receiver.

“Hmm, I’ve never thought about cheerleading.” I thought. Shaking me from my thoughts, she asked me again “Hello? Earth to Shakira? Are you going to try out because Tee-Tee, Te’kiayah, Danielle, Kai, and a few others said they were.” “Uh, yeah I guess so. Where and who do I get the paperwork from?” I asked questioningly. “Some lady named Mrs. Garcia on Echo Company on the 7th grade hallway.” She said. At the end of the day, I asked Mrs. Braun if I could go down to Mrs. Garcia’s room to get a cheerleading form and a physical sheet. “Alright, I already have this set to mind, all I can hope now is that I can get Momma and Daddy to hop onboard with” I thought.

As I got up and got ready to go to ODP I realized that today my whole family was going to ODP because my brother wanted to go Stefan’s soccer Inc. to look at all the cool soccer cleats and so i got all my stuff ready and ate breakfast. Then we were all out the door by 5:30. As we got to La Fallout high school where ODP is today. Aaron ( my brother) asked to my Mom, “Mom can we please go to Stefan’s while Ryan is at soccer?”

Mexico itself was beautiful, Jay Kelley thought to himself one night in his hotel room. The architecture, the people, the art and culture, it was all wonderful. The food was divine, the women even more so, and Jay had never felt so simultaneously happy and out of place in his life. To Mexico, he was another tourist. A balding, middle-aged white guy with a fanny pack that his almost ex-wife pushed into his hand before he left for the airport. She told him to be real careful of the pickpockets “down there”, and Jay resented her so much in that moment, he wanted to slap her upside the head and scream “You’ve only ever been to Cancun, ya dummy! What do you know?” Instead, he smiled tightly and waved a tense goodbye as she drove away from the gate, actually breathing a sigh of relief once she was out of sight, like in the movies.
