Why Football Is Important To Me

Soccer is like a family to me. One activity that I really enjoy that my school offers is soccer. First, I get to be active physical, and stay fit. Second, I felt by the end of the season I had made a family. Last, the one game that stood out to me was the Lebanon it was an awesome game. As can be seen, soccer is one activity that is offered at my school and it’s my favorite.

Soccer has been one of the most important things in my life. The sport has made me who I am and is the reason for my life's determination to make something of myself. Everything I can say I've accomplished in life has been through the amazing sport. I have played soccer since I was 4 years old and it's been such a huge part in my life. The games, the practices, the traveling, the teammates, the coaches. Everything since the first day of starting has been such huge motivation in my life. Soccer is the reason to keep pushing so hard through life's obstacles. I can go to the soccer field everyday and it will make my bad days good, and my good days better. Soccer has motivated me in life because I want to make something of myself through the sport, it motivates me to make my family proud by never giving up on my dreams.

“Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.”(Billie Jean King) Most students from first grade to twelfth grade say that sports are a big part of their life and make them who they were meant to be in a positive way. Some people might argue that students in sports or extracurricular activities have lower grades than the other students, but it's the opposite way around. Sports improve your performance in school because they strengthen your concentration ability and leadership traits.

Coaches always talk about how, “Sports do not make character, they reveal it”. By knowing this I know that the way I overcome difficulties on the field, shows how I will deal with the ups and downs in life. Sports also improve team building skills, communication skills, dedication, hard work, consistency, etc. I find if I improve on those I will be a better person on and off the field.

One club season I would get piercing shin guard burns. I tried creams, shin guard covers, ice, new shin guards, everything! Nothing would help from the blistering, peeling burns on my shins. Any time I would shift leg positions it felt like bees were stinging my shins. This happened the whole season until I found that if I applied lotion before the game then put shin guard covers underneath my shin guards the blistering would cease. The burns, cuts, bruises, aches and pain were always worth it to play the sport I loved.

A really big goal I have for this new year is to improve myself sport wise. For an example, I have to improve how i play soccer mentaly and physicaly (1 mile in 6 min), and to have courage in myself and confidence that I know that I can make the academy. This is really important to me because I really want show how good I can be for my age to everyone. Also I can prove everyone that I can make it to an academy, and show them that anyone can do it. I want to show them that a person from lindenwold can become great and does not have to be from and big famous school like Eastern. That's what I want to show this year in 2017 for my first goal. Trying to make this big goal become true, I'll work really hard every day by running everyday, going to the weight room, not being scared and just take the risk. First I'll start my going to the weight room at least 3 times a week to get used to it, so I get tougher for soccer because high school soccer is way different than middle school soccer. Also Ill this week and try to get a mile in 6 min or less in 2 weeks to get back in fit and be ready for snyder practices.

Football was the first sport I played in high school. I played in the position of right guard and my job was to protect the quarterback or anyone else traveling with the ball from the opponent. Playing football impacted my life. I was out of shape, and overweight. While attending football practice, I learn to work with others. All of my teammates and I dedicated time after school to practice with the couch and Saturdays by ourselves, so that we could stand out when facing our opponents. Throughout the season, not only was I able to lose the extra weight that I carried, I also gained confidence to try other sports and improved my physical and mental performance and

As long as I can remember, my family has always supported me through school and my extracurriculars. Having people such as my parents or teachers caring about me has made an immaculate impact on my experiences. One instant is during my football season. Every Friday, my teachers will always ask me about the game and will wish me luck. My parents, my grandparents, and other members

My name Lah Ku. I am from Thailand refugee camp.I like to play soccer. My soccer team name is SKY FC. My soccer team are nice people. We practiced soccer every Friday afternoon and Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, we go to practice as Glendale middle school soccer field. We have fun when we played soccer. I care about my soccer team coming to practice soccer every single day we plan the schedule. I also care about my grade, because I do not want to fail my class or I do not want a bad grade. I am a good person. I like people who talk about nice thing. I like to help people when they move or when they have birthday a party when they need help

Throughout my entire life, my parents always expressed to me that, “You can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.” It took a little bit of time for me to truly believe in this quote, but my junior year of high school I finally started to believe that it was true. It all commenced when I tried out for the soccer team and I had made it. From that moment, it motivated me to want to be the best on and off the field. In order for me to be the best on the field, I had to put in hard work, dedication and effort into this sport. Eventually, all my hard work, dedication and effort paid off a year later in my senior year. From this hard work and dedication, I learned many life lessons and I also learned I can really do anything

I didn’t know that expect when I went into high school. I was a scared incoming freshman with big goals. At that point of my life I thought I had it all figured out but I’d love to go back to my first day of freshman year and give myself a couple tips about failure and dedication.

You've always supported me my whole life, everything I've asked for you've gotten it for me. You always have food on the table for us to eat. We never go to sleep hungry and Im thankful for that. You are always at my games, you get me everything I need for my games. You have been there for me all through high school motivating me to graduate and go to college to get away from here. You have made everything for me and my brothers easy for us and not burdensome. Y’all work hard everyday to provide us with the things we need and some of the things we want but don't need. I hope to go to an 4 year university and play football to make it to the National Football League. My dad was with me all my life on the field, he was always my coach, pushing

Yet another thing sports can do is teach a player many life lessons. According to Scope Magazine's Tim O'Shei, sports teaches perseverance, team spirit, and fun. Many sports coaches will not allow players to participate in a game if the player's homework is not done on time. Some studies even show that some grades may drop after the season is over because of the lack of motive in a student. A student could also learn how to be a good sport by congratulating his or her team even if they lose. They should learn to be a good sport because whether the team wins or loses, the good spirit of the team would remain. A good team spirit could also make it fun and motivational for everyone else. The perseverance, team spirit, and fun in a team player could make both a good role model and a fun person to be around.

A loving, caring, silly, determined, and God fearing guy is who I am. I’m very family oriented and would do anything I can to help. I love to have fun like the next person and I understand when it’s time to be serious. Football has been a part of my life since I was a tenth grader. Know who you are.

For my memoir I would like to talk about the time I learned to play sports and the impact it had on my life. It all started when I was 8 or 9 years old. My dad asked me to come outside to play. It was a tough decision for me because i was playing inside my favorite video game (which was Wii sports ) . He said that I was spending too much time inside playing Wii and I should exercise and play a sport for once.
