The Influence Of Playing Soccer

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 led to days sitting in the park talking about our futures, bike rides to the beach, and nights of mischief. Around the same time I started playing and watching basketball. I remember watching Kobe Bryant play in the 2009 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics and thinking I want to try that move, hoist a trophy, have a crowd cheer for me. There has always been a sense of energy I got from playing in front of people which can be attributed to my competitiveness. Regardless, the only people that I cared about watching me were my parents. My father was always working and my mother also working among taking care of my younger sisters and I. That is until my championship game with the boys and girls club in 6th grade. I vividly remember my dad waving to me as we started the game and although we lost I was never happier. Basketball gave me a reason to smile. There were countless nights of trash talk and one on one games with people who were my rivals, rivals that are now my closest

Growing up into soccer was even harder I became aggressive and competitive to the point where all girls teams wouldn’t accept me. Then I joined a team that my younger brother was on, named the Knights. The Knights’ team was a competitive all boys team that taught me how to be a better player. Playing soccer and being on that team made me realized that I can be a great player if I give it my all. That team is one of the reasons why I want to continue playing soccer and continue doing something that I absolutely love doing.

Soccer is the most influential form of act due to its stress relieving qualities, fitness and health improvements, and social aspects. Soccer is proven to be a worldwide phenomenon. It is a game played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball that may not be touched with the hands or arms during play except by the goalkeepers. The object of the game is to score goals by kicking the ball into the opponent's' goal. Many people throughout the continents have played soccer. In European and South American countries soccer can be known as football. Here in the United States, to avoid confusion, it is know as soccer. Though the names are not consists, there is one thing that is;soccer improves your health, fitness, and social abilities. At the same time, soccer is stress relieving. Many can agree that soccer, overall, is good for you.

Since its conception, soccer continues to dominate the global sports scene. As of 2015, 265 million people play soccer in the world. This widely known game was invented two centuries ago in England and quickly became one of the most popular sports in the world. Soccer is also exceptionally influential in the political world. The sport has the capability to spark war and bring peace to entire nations. Along with its effects on the political world, soccer is also a considerable part of many cultures. The daily lives of people culturally and politically would be vastly different if it weren’t for the major influence of soccer.

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).

Everything starts as a young kid that's when you make friends and most of the time those friends are the ones you experience and try new things with in my case that thing was soccer. I grew up with a lot of my older family members playing soccer i would go to my uncles and older cousin soccer games and in my head i would think to myself i want to be as good as them and maybe even one day have a chance to play with them. When i started elementary school that's when it all started for me i made friends with kids that had the same interest as me and that was soccer it would be all i would talk and think about everyday during recess me and my group of friends would rush out to the field to play some soccer and show off our skills.

I first started playing when I was 4 for the Sharks on Fort Benning. Years later I moved to Columbus to play recreational soccer for the Columbus Youth Soccer Club. Playing with a soccer ball was my childhood. I’ve been playing with a soccer ball for 14 years now. I like to think I am quite good at soccer.

Why is it important for kids to become involved in youth soccer associations? Involvement can be beneficial for children on a variety of different levels such as mentally, physically, socially and behavioral. The benefits of youth sports has some major traits that will help kids become into successful people. Youth sports can prevent a variety of issues that can affect physical health, mental health, and social skills in the long term.

When I was growing up, soccer was never a passion of mine. I always played baseball and basketball. When my freshmen year of high school roles around, I didn’t know what sport to play in the fall. My choices were soccer, football, and cross country. I hated running long distances , so cross country was out; I hated the possibility of getting serious head injuries ,so football was out. Now I was left with soccer. I chose soccer, and I played on Jv my freshmen year and Jv: varsity my sophomore year. My junior year I went from varsity to Jv to varsity. It was an up and down season.

I spotted a mob of individuals with curly sideburns and black top hats looking remarkably alike. I come from a family where they eat and breathe soccer and watching young Jews play it brought me chills. It was in New York that I honed my skills and began to learn about the beautiful game.

As a Brazilian, soccer plays a significant role in your life since childbirth. Memories such as going to your first game or the ritualistic bacchanals every game day, are carved into your very soul. It runs through our blood; we eat, breathe,sleep soccer. Since an infant I admired Pelé.

There's a kid(Oscar) sitting on the ground during a soccer game just picking flowers. There’s a kid(Kenny) who is sprinting and trying his hardest to get a goal he is huffing and puffing, and just sweating like crazy. Kenny has already scored three goals for this team. Kenny wants his team to win so he is giving it his all, while Oscar picks another daisy. They lose the game. Kenny is almost to the point of tears because tryed so hard, but Oscar just yawns and is happy he is going home. Their coach comes out with a box, inside there's a couple participation trophies one for everyone on the team. It’s the same size as if they would have gotten if they won. This made Kenny really upset and Oscar was happy he was being reward for them wasting his time. Kenny continued to play soccer for true trophy that he earned, while Oscar did soccer only for the trophy, he knew he would get. The trophy didn’t encourage Oscar to play, it gave him a reason to quit. The kids that get reward whenever they do something bad the more negative effects on the kid’s future. There's a problem with kids and their parents in the world today this problem is participation trophies and what they mean and how they will affect kids in the years to come. Participation trophies are a pointless and meaningless rewards that hurt kids in the long run, and giving out participation trophies do more harm than good.

You may be interested in soccer or you are just interested in how it works. I'm here to give you advice. From my experience, it’s best to start soccer at a young age. The sooner the better!

I was first taught how to play at the age of five and I developed a wholehearted passion for the sport from that point forward. With my passion I was able to develop into an exceptional player, ultimately leading to my position as a soccer coach for a non-profitable organization called OSC, the Oakville Soccer Club.
