Personal Narrative: The Sport Of Soccer

By sports I mean like playing a sport in a team or just really enjoying sports. I started playing soccer since I was 7 now i'm 15 and still play soccer. Soccer is not just my passion it's mostly everyone's passion. I feel like soccer is my Cultural identity because It something that I have been doing for a very long time and feel that it belongs in my culture. That's one of the reasons why i feel like that is

Playing multiple sports when I was younger was great. My second favorite sport was soccer and I was great. I was the best on my team by far and I showed it when I played.

At the age of ten I was the most energetic, go-lucky, confident girl. I excelled at my beloved sport, soccer. I had been playing since I was just a mere five years old, far longer than the other girls. Playing so long had helped me be at a higher level of skill than most of the other players on my team.

When I start getting into soccer it was when my niece tried out and made the Mt. Bridges Delko team. She loves the game and it is very anticipating watching her play. Each year she got better faster and stronger.

Soccer is my favorite sport, no I don’t watch it on tv, nor do I have a favorite soccer team. So, it all started when I was eight years old I believe I told my mom that I didn’t want to do a certain thing anymore and that I wanted to play a sport a.k.a soccer. She of course told me sure. So she signed me up for soccer a couple of days later. I was so happy I was jumping up and down with excitement. Little did I know that I would love the sport. So, the day of the first soccer practice I was nervous I never done anything with the team and I had these questions running in my head like what if no one likes you here? Or what if you like the sport? Or what if you aren’t even good enough ? but I let these questions slide and I had learned how to play the sport. In that amount of time I thought no more like Challenged myself and said “ Cassie you can do this you are going to be apart of this team and you are going to be the best.” From then on I challenged myself, I practiced almost all the

When I was little I loved to play baseball and other sports. Although, my favorite sport of them all was baseball. My dad was a really good baseball player when he was young and he taught me everything I know. We would spend hours outside in the yard playing catch. Dad was my first baseball coach when I was little in Bitty Ball. Each year we would practice really hard so I could become a pitcher. I kept working hard at it and when I was a freshman in high school, I tried out for the baseball team and made varsity. I was one of the toughest pitchers on the team and by my senior year I was almost throwing no hitters each game. My favorite year playing baseball was my junior year. All the

Soccer has always been a part of my life. When I was 6 years old, my mom signed me up for the Grassroots program at Seacoast United. I soon grew out of Grassroots and moved to the next level of soccer: Junior Academy. I remember my first coach, my first real practice uniform, and my teammates (some of whom I still play with today). I remember learning the simple things; juggling, passing, and shooting, and I wished practice was more than once a week.

I do remember playing soccer for 2 or 3 seasons but, I never liked it because my parents rarely encouraged my good games or plays. I dreaded playing during my games because my father would always yell at me while I played and after the games, he would be very upset and angry during the ride home. I was never a child who like to watch TV all day or play video games. As kids, my brother and I would probably watch TV 3 hours a day in total. The rest of the day we would play outside. Sometimes, my aunties would join in and we would all play a game we made up that’s like baseball. Since my aunties took care of my younger brother and I before they started their own families, they would take us to the park and we would play that game or we would bike to the Marina in San Leandro from our

In kindergarten I started playing soccer, realized I loved it, and played it for the next 6 years.

Firstly, I love soccer because it is my most favorite sport. I love having the thrill of running up and down the field. I also love the excitement of scoring, and the adrenaline rush of being thrown to the ground, just to bounce

I began playing soccer at the age of five years old when I moved to North Carolina. I joined my first team the same year I started kindergarten and I have not stopped playing the beautiful game since that day. Soccer has always played an important role in my life by shaping my social life and my personality.

I started playing soccer when I was five years old. My position was goalie for the majority of my soccer career. As a goalie, you had to dive to get the ball when it was being shot in the right or left corner. I always looked forward to someone shooting there; I enjoyed having to dive for the ball. I loved soccer but it put a strain on my body being out in the heat for sometime up to seven hours a day when we were playing in tournaments. With the heat taking a toll on my body, I began to look into other sports.

Hello, my name is Gabrielle Mckissic, I am an all A and B Honor roll student. I started soccer when I was 3 and I have played ever since. I now play for laforza soccer club and I enjoy it very much. I also play a variety of school sports, such as cross country and softball. I love to play these sports and they help me to keep my grades up. I also love to particapate in volantary activitys such as helping out at my church.

Soccer. Fast paced. Strategic. Competitive. I loved those aspects of the game. In the month of March, when all the soccer tryouts began, I decided to try out for an older team, which was 2 years older -my brother's team- just for fun. I went out on the day of the trial and surprisingly, I made the team. Feeling as if I had won the million dollar lottery, filled with excitement, fear crept up inside of me because there were boys who were enormous and strong on the team. The size gap was frightening.

I started getting into soccer at age 2, and dance at age 4. I got into dance by seeing my sister sign up for classes that were through the district. My parents signed me up for a soccer league that was through the district, as well and I loved it because my siblings did it too, but today I have tryouts for a travel soccer team, called Schwaben.
