INFORMATIVE & SURPRISING ESSAY
Many people believe that soccer is a sport that is not physical, but the truth is soccer is a sport that can get physical just like any other sport. Many of them dislike soccer as a sport because other athletes disrespect the game and the players. Soccer is basically a sport that calls for many physical requirements such as endurance, physical strength, and mental strength. I strongly feel that all athletes should understand and respect soccer as a physical sport.
Many athletes call soccer as a “girly sport”. However, it was men who originally started playing the sport. Soccer is incredibly dangerous. If one were to compare the injuries occurred while playing soccer to any other sport, it will definitely be on the top of the list. As a soccer player, I have gotten two concussions through the game. The first one was being slide tackled from the back and falling hard to the ground and the second was trying to head the ball but collided with another player’s head instead. I have also seen my team mates

Physical fitness will be one of the most important aspects of soccer performance. A soccer player has to be very agile, quick, strong and coordinated. Many people compare a soccer player to another athlete to see if they both share the same attributes, but in most cases a soccer player’s physical fitness will be in top notch compared to any other athlete. Another important aspect of a soccer player will be the mental strength. A soccer player must have the ability to make an impact, commitment to improve, play making skills, understanding the game and most importantly the right attitude towards the game. During a game, there will be so many things running through a player’s head such as “what happens if I perform badly” or “what people may think if I provide a nasty challenge”. In these type of situations a control mind guide a soccer player to be mentally
Soccer is, by far, the best sport in the world. Many might disagree with this statement, but I think that soccer should be considered the greatest. The fans cheer louder, there is more blood, sweat, and tears, and soccer requires you to think more than different sports. The passion between the fans and the players is indescribable unless you experience it first hand. There are many reasons to why soccer is the best sport, some being: it is the most popular sport around the world, it is one of the hardest sports to learn and pick up on, and I have been playing soccer my entire life so therefore it has to be the best.

If you play soccer, you have to practice in order to win, just like any other sport. When playing a game, you need to do moves that you have practiced, to get past the other teams defense and score a goal, and you also have to teach yourself mentally to think before you react. If you have the ball, you can’t just kick it randomly and hope to score, you have to think of your other teammates and work with them to get the ball up the field. Another part of soccer that is very critical is passing. You have to pass the ball and develop new techniques and ways to control how the game is played.
Not much is known about the origin of soccer. However, the Greeks and Romans played football and ball kicking games. The London Football Association developed the first sets of rules in 1863. British sailors and settlers brought the game to India, South America and Europe.
I know this may sound cliche or super basic and that is fine, but the topic of this essay is soccer. Soccer is a game played all over the country by all different kinds of people. It is the world’s game. This game includes a ball, two goals, and eleven players. Those are the facts but there is so much more to it than that. You need passion, drive, competitiveness, and most of all, love. This game triggers all of these things in me and that is the reason why I play it.
Athletes who play football share the same goal as athletes who play soccer: score the most goals to win the game. In football, there are two areas on opposite sides of the field where one can score points by bringing the football over the goal line. Soccer shares this same concept by having two nets on opposite sides of the field where one can score a point by kicking the soccer ball into the net. Also, both sports share the concept of having an offense and defense, and both sports each have eleven players on a team on the field at a time. These are only few of many similarities between these two sports, but in actuality, they are significantly different. The rules, rituals, and concepts of both sports distinguish
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).
I’ve studied my share of sports and it says soccer is a sport that many people enjoy but there are times when things can get from good to bad. I believe the whole point about playing soccer is making sportsmanship with others, and just enjoying yourself on the field and making sure each game is a game to remember. I’m a soccer player myself, sure I get upset when I lose a game but then I think to myself tomorrow's a new day. Soccer was important in the past because the rules back then were much different than the rules know in the present. So improvements over the years have changed soccer to be safer and more exciting.
Soccer is a quick paced and Intense sport. It can also be very competitive and demanding to the body. During a soccer game a player is constantly active for 45 minutes, following a ten minute break and then another 45 minutes of constant activity.
Physical Ability- Soccer requires a lot of physical ability. In soccer, you have to constantly be moving. Especially if you play the midfield position. I have played the midfield position all my life and it involves so much running because you have to help the forwards and defense. It also requires strength. For the defense and mid-field positions require a hard, big kick. You must also be able to dribble the ball while running. Soccer is a very physical sport.
Soccer is a sport that’s very challenging and during the course of this semester I’ve found physics can also be described as challenging. As far as I was concerned soccer and physics were both challenging and that was all they had in common, consequently upon researching them both this semester I found that I was wrong. For me this was nothing new because I’ve found that physics isn’t a subject that can be skimmed, but rather it has to be studied to the finest detail. Those small details if missed can make all your efforts worthless. Or on the positive side understanding those details can make your efforts worth it in the end. And in soccer if you understand the physics, which to most players

Messi has a little level of autism and that make Messi do not be so open as other
Ever since I could remember, I have always had love for the game of soccer ever since I first laid eyes on the sport. As a kid, I would spend countless hours in the backyard by myself; I would juggle, kick around the ball and doing drills. When I wasn't in the yard pretending to be Lionel Messi I would watch Ronaldinho videos on Youtube dreaming I will one day play against him. Call me crazy, but I was addicted, even as a young boy, to the beautiful sport itself, soccer.
Evolution has acted as the forefront of the game of soccer due to the exponential growth it has endured through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Contributions to this commercial epidemic consist of the robust foundation in which a multitude of cultures have bestowed upon the game. These cultures have formulated, in some manner, an invaluable rudimentary configuration of the game. Despite the innumerable aspects of the game of soccer, one is present within all, healthy competition. As time will tell, in accordance with the evolution of the game, physical exercise will become an essential aspect of human life and growth, illustrating the importance and value of athletics and recreation.
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.
