Playing sports has always been a passion of mine. I played Pop Warner Football until I broke my foot in third grade. After my foot healed, I decided to play soccer because my my cousin played and I wanted to try it . Ever since I started playing soccer, I have always my hardest and strived to get better. All summer I worked with my friend Imanol practicing hard to make sure we made the team.…
As a big fan of Dallas Cowboys, I really love American Football and I have been attended games since 1970, but i don't anymore. And I will say why: The National Football League is the most important and the biggest professional American football league. There are 32 teams from different states and regions of the country. In the United States, professional football is the most popular sport on Sundays. But also all Americans know that going to a NFL game is really expensive these days.…
The time I fell off my friend’s trampoline, and broke my arm. I was 11 years old I my friend Pete and his sister were playing football outside. So after we played football we decided to go inside to relax, and get some water.…
It is hard work, dedication, and love of the game that makes me who I am today. Soccer is what identifies me. It is such a fundamental part of my life and I have a hard thinking about what my life will be like when I'm no longer able to play. I think I will never stop watching soccer or doing something that relates to it. I know I have come a long not only as an athlete but also as a person as a result of playing soccer.…
Once I got involved in the soccer program I felt in the correct environment to be in. My teammates made me feel like I was part of a family. Whenever, someone made a mistake instead of laughing at one they would tell you, “Next time you’ll get it. Just keep practicing and trying.”…
From the time I was six years old, soccer consumed my life. I started at a recreational level, advanced to a competitive division, and eventually on to high school. I’ve put countless hours into learning the game. I never thought my soccer career would include coaching until one summer when two friends and I signed up to coach a recreational soccer team of nine year-old girls. Initially, I thought it would be a cakewalk, my previous coaches managed my teammates and I with ease.…
“Hi Malcolm, I’m Coach Spear, and I’d like you to consider playing soccer at Davidson.” I had played the “beautiful” game of soccer for as long as I could remember, starting in an organized league at the age of three to be exact. An invitation to play as a team member in a highly regarded college soccer program was the culmination of hundreds of league games, dozens of travel tournaments, and too many practices to count. The idea of attending such a prestigious college and having the opportunity to continue to play soccer is a personal accomplishment was very exciting to me. Soccer may have opened a door, but I believe that several interests in addition to soccer, combined with the educational opportunities that Davidson has to offer, will help me open many doors throughout life, shaping a personal identity that will be unique among many.…
Without soccer, I would not know how to tell my story. I didn't have much free time for soccer teams when I was young because I had to take care of my 5 younger brothers when my mom wasnt home. But in sixth grade our neighborhood was full of Latinos that loved soccer, so that is how I started to become more passionate about it. Our neighborhood did not have a nice field. It didn't have goals or markings, it was pretty much dirt and grass.…
Throughout my short life journey, soccer has been an enormous part of my life. I began playing soccer at a young age; this is the point in my life when I fell in love with the sport. As I grew older soccer became less of a hobby, and more of a lifestyle. Today, I am literate in the sport of soccer, because I have proficient skills, and a firm understanding of the game. I consider myself very soccer savvy, however the most important literacies I have acquired from soccer were the life skills of hard work, dedication and perseverance.…

Soccer isn't just a sport, it's MY lifestyle. Soccer is everything to me. I have so many good memories of my team and I together. My team and I are always hanging out and bonding as a team. We have sleepovers, team parties, anything to hang out.…
When I was little people always told me that nothing comes for free, and at the time, I really didn’t give it much thought. Now that I’m older I know that nothing comes easy and if you really want to accomplish something and be good at it, you must work. In 2012 when I was about ten years old, I remember going to my cousin Jacob’s football game. He played here at Cesar Chavez, he was number 36 and played fullback and linebacker.…
What once was a mere burning match, weak and fragile, has grown into a magnificent wildfire, capable of engulfing the entire planet itself in its flames. Passion. For anything imaginable, those with it can shine far brighter than any other. I’ve always envied those with something they could cling to and call their passion, never having it myself. After years of searching, it appeared.…
My Passion for Soccer I started to play soccer when I was four. It has had an important impact on me. This is the reason I met my friends. When I was four I got my first ever soccer ball.…
I love intensity. I love the limelight. I love pressure. But as my approach to the ball in the biggest game in my soccer career became shorter, my whole body was overcome by a surge of doubt. My muscles froze and I could feel the eyes of all two thousand bystanders glued onto my back.…
