Soccer Descriptive Speech

Most think the U.S. Woman’s National Team does not deserve equal pay. The number one reason for this opinion is due to the fact that people are not as interested in women’s soccer as they are in men’s, however the USWNT has become extremely popular over the past couple of years. In 2015, the Women’s World Cup final match broke the record for the most watched soccer game in United States history between men and women’s soccer. The average number of viewers for the entire match was around 25 million viewers. This number fluctuated over the course of the match and had a peak of 31 million viewers, which almost doubled the amount of viewers than the previous set record. The original record set by the USMNT during the 2014 World Cup at 18 million viewers was completely demolished because of the

Most people believe soccer is nothing but just a game , but for me, it's more than a game it's a passion. Soccer involves hard work , dedication , and long hours out in the field. It takes hard work to be out in the field playing with a ball aggressively and with skills. Soccer is a sport where there is no giving up , in order to be successful, you need to practice intensely to get stronger and better every day. There's times where you want to give up, but you just can't you need to find some type of motivation to keep you going. My coach is the person who has made an impact in my life . By that it changed me in many different ways. He has been able to motivate me , support me , and not letting me fail.

“Celebrate what you have accomplished but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed” states Mia Hamm; the former highest leading, female goal scorer in world. It is unknown who stated, “there is a first time for everything” although it is blatantly obvious, that it is true.There is a first time a person walks, runs, smiles, frowns, fall’s in love, or get’s their heart broken. For Mia Hamm, soccer was nothing new to her when she scored her first goal for the Unites States Women’s National Team, but it was her first professional goal. Now, don’t get confused, I am not in anyway comparing my soccer abilities to Mia Hamm, we just have a common interest, scoring goals and of course, soccer. Scoring my first goal became an experience I will never forget. The experience and memories that are created from accomplishing something new and challenging, will never be for gotten.For you to understand how exciting the event was, you have to know the background information about my soccer experiences. My freshman year of High School, I went in strongly believing I was going to run track; needless to say, I never saw the track again. I was put into a gym class with the soccer coach and he began pestering me to try out for the soccer team. As season got closer, the never ending begging grew stronger. I decided to give soccer a fair chance. After three vigorous, never-ending days of tryouts, to a rookie, I made the team. The news came as a surprise to me. I hardly watched soccer,

Soccer is regarded as the world’s biggest sport, it’s played everywhere, from the streets to major cities around the globe. There are many misconceptions about soccer and it’s very frustrating to hear about; being a Soccer fan myself. Whether you call it football or soccer, there are three enormous misconceptions I hear all the time and one of the biggest misconception I hear from people is that soccer is a very long and boring sport. The second one I pick up from people is whenever a penalty kick has been awarded, the referee must give a red or yellow card to the opposing teams defender. This Just isn’t true. The last misconception is you will get beat up by delinquents if you go to a game. Most People believe that soccer isn’t very exciting to watch and is very tiresome to go through. Soccer isn’t a game where two teams go back and forth scoring goal after goal.

Soccer is a popular sport played all over the world. Even though it has only been popular in the United States for the past 30 years, soccer has been a long time favorite most everywhere else. The sport dates back to the Egyptians, who played games involving the kicking of a ball. Now, the sport has grown to a global pastime, including men’s and women’s teams, and the World Cup (which is played every four years).

On Thursday, October 6, I was able to attend the UC Davis women’s soccer game on our home field against Cal State Fullerton. I arrived to the game with 2 other classmates about 30 minutes prior to the start of the game. The setting and environment prior to the game was calm and relaxed with music playing on the speakers. The weather was hot, with a slight breeze and many people brought hats and sunglasses since they would be sitting in the heat throughout the game. Everyone who was there early was talkative and smiling whether they were fellow students or family members, they all seemed to be supportive and ready to watch the game.

Two years ago I played my first high school soccer season and it was one of the best experiences I had related with this sport, but what made it special was the last game we faced. Just like Forrest Gump quoted, “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get.” This is how the surprise started; some friends and I were moved up from freshman team to the JV team and we were excited to compete for some game time. Even though we had very low chances, we gave our 100% in the few training sessions we had to earn a spot. Friday night arrived; I was frightened and shocked to face the best team in our district.

Within these recent years, women sports have taking a huge turn around even if the stats and numbers say otherwise. The fast uprising, influence and value of women sports fans has been one of the most distinctive changes in the sports marketing landscape in the last 40 years thanks to the Education Amendments and Title IX. We can see the impact of the second generation of young women growing up with much interest in sports, and female sporting celebrities who are closing the gap with their male counterparts. Many give the credit to this thanks to the US national soccer team. When they won the World Cup in 1991 the nation had no idea it had happened. In 1999 the team got to the final again and that game got millions of fans supporting there

Never before has our women’s team had the support of fan clubs as it does today. Jonathan Tannenwald is a writer for Philly.com. In regards to what The American Outlaws have meant during the world cup this summer he writes, “I know that AO isn’t the only group that has worked to sustain supporters clubs in American women’s soccer. There are plenty of groups across the country, especially in National Women’s Soccer League markets, who have succeeded in their own ways. But what the Outlaws have done this summer is, with all due respect, far bigger – both quantitatively and qualitatively. (Tannenwald, 2015).” It is hard to quantify to amount of support The American Outlaws have given our women’s team.

Have you ever heard the saying, “have you ever wanted something so much it hurt”? Well, when I say it. I’m talking about literally hurting. Your legs are so sore, it feels like you can’t take another stride, your so out of breath from chasing the ball around, and your so exhausted from last nights practice, your bed seems to be the most attractive thing to you right now. Three hour practices of straight running, push ups, and sit ups has its pros and cons. Even at times when you feel like you need a break, pushing yourself through it is what makes you a better player. I choose to inform you on soccer because I’ve played my whole life, from 5 years old until my senior year in high school, and its something I know about. The three main

People have always loved to play games. The human race has created hundreds of thousands of games to entertain themselves and to compete with one another. The most beloved games are those of physical sports. One of these sports, that has become a worldwide phenomenon, is the game soccer. The entire world gathers every four years to send out their best team, and to see which country is the ultimate champion. To play the game of soccer, there needs to be referees to ensure that the players are safe and are following the rules. Though this was once a highly respected position, in Virginia, working as a referee is no longer worth the time, due to a lack of respect, no support system, and the constant variations and changes to the rules.
