As a young girl, I was introduced to soccer by my father. I think I was about eight at the time when I first played on a recreational team, and I remember that I had always wanted to play goalkeeper. In soccer, the goalkeeper is the last defensive player, but is also the first offensive player once the play turns. The idea of playing such an important position thrilled me, and it didn’t hurt that the goalkeeper gets the opportunity to use their hands as well as punt the ball across the field. From the age of nine until the age of eleven, I played competitive and recreational soccer as a goalkeeper, and stopped in the sixth grade. I picked the sport back up as a freshman in high school, after my younger sister had urged me to join the school

During my first season of competitive travel soccer I thought I had been blessed with an amazing coach. His name was Kenrick Ramirez. Kenrick was from Trinidad and Tobago and had a thick caribbean accent that at first I could not understand. I was intrigued by Kenrick’s personality because he was so much different than the other typical soccer coaches I had had my whole life. He seemed to know everything like he was the soccer god. Unfortunately, none of

A second impact in Tim's childhood, was his brother, Ted. When he and his siblings were all around middle school age, all the boys had to help move a few of the farm tractors to Tim's farm. Ted didn't want to help that day, but Tim needed his help. He told him he had to and so Ted listened. When Ted was driving the tractor, he took too hard of a turn. It tipped over and he passed away. This impacted Timothy a lot. He blamed the accident all on him and has still yet to forgive himself. He doesn't break out of his shell very often anymore to have a good time because of what happened around 20 years ago. He has gone to a medium with his wife, Lindsey to talk to Ted. Ted told him to have fun more often and play jokes on his family. He even told him to get a tattoo. Tim's third impact was his Grandpa Cota. His grandpa taught him how to do everything on the farm.

Yet my apprehension prevailed as I continued to fear getting put in the game in case another player was injured. I was still afraid of making mistakes and getting blamed by screaming coaches and angry teammates. Sometimes these fears came true. During my sophomore season, my position led me to play in the varsity games on many occasions. On such occasions, I often made mistakes. Most of the time the mistakes were not significant; they rarely changed the outcome of a play. Yet I received a thorough verbal lashing at practice for the mistakes I had made. These occurrences only compounded my fears of playing. However, I did not always make mistakes. Sometimes I made great plays, for which I was congratulated. Now, as I dawn on my senior year of soccer, I feel like a changed person.
