Soccer is one of the biggest things in my life. My world revolves around soccer. For me, the sport is a great way to stay active and spend time with my friends. I was in first grade when I asked my parents about playing soccer. They didn’t know much about the sport, but decided to sign me up. I started playing that spring, and never stopped.
Soccer has become my getaway. When I have a rough day, I just want to go to soccer practice. My team is my second family. They always have a way of cheering me up when I’m feeling down. When one of us is in pain we all feel their pain. When one of us is down, we all help to bring them up.

I have learned so much through soccer. Playing has taught me how to juggle sports, school, family, and my social life. Soccer also makes me stay organized. If I wasn’t organized, my life would be even crazier than it already is. I also know what commitment really means because of soccer. People who don’t come to practice and aren’t committed to the team don’t get very much playing time. I have also learned what it means to be mentally tough, and to be confident. We all get injuries from time to time, but sometimes you have to put the pain out of your head and focus on the game. Confidence comes in every time you touch the ball. When a player gets control of the ball, they have to be confident in their decision making, and confident in their teammates that they will keep control of the ball when it gets played to them.
It’s amazing how one decision can change a person’s life. Playing soccer has made me physically and mentally fit, which come in handy on a daily basis. I get good grades because through soccer I have learned how to stay focused for long periods of time. Being physically fit also helps me in school sports. Through the years I have played many different sports including volleyball, basketball, track, and cross country. They are all fun, but none of them have ever matched my love for soccer.
