Football Narrative
I ran up the field and shot the ball and… No no no that's too far to start this story we need to go back to the beginning. Well not the way beginning.
It was the beginning of my first select soccer season. I had been playing soccer for seven years. I got ready for my practice and me and my dad got in the car. When I got there I didn't know anyone. So I started talking to everybody learning what position they played “Hey guys what positions do you all play?”
“Defense”
“Defense”
“Defense”
“Midfield”
“Defense”
“Cool” most of them played defense. Which wasn't good for me cuz I've been playing defense for 4 years. And I wanted to play defense again. When practice started I was confused and out of place I asked them “How many years have you guys been playing soccer.
“7 years”
“5 years”
“6 years”
“2 years”
A Lot of these people were better than I was. There was 45 minutes left of practice and we had a scrimmage I was a starter. Which surprised me. My coach had placed me at forward. Which meant that I stayed at half field and waited to get the ball. In the first 5 minutes

In the first 2 minutes of the game Mikey passed it over to be. I didn't even do any moves I got the ball and ran. I was far past all the defenders so I had time to shoot. I lined up my shot and kicked the ball and it hit the back of the net the crowd cheered. 2 minutes later the coach pulled me out. He told me I was gonna go in as a forward in a minute. But he wanted to change up the plan. He told me now to get the ball run up the side of the field and cross it in the goal bow of the opposite team. Sure enough I went in a minute later and 2 minutes after that I got the ball. I ran up the side of the field with it and crossed it in the middle. Sure enough there was 3 people from my team in the goal box and 4 defenders in the goal bow. The ball is flying in the air and as it starts falling Nicholas jumps up and heads it right into the back of the net. The crowd

    Everyone got in a line, and coach told us who was going to do the PKs. She called on Damien, Dominic, Evan, Bash, and me. Damien went up to the line while the other team's goalie got ready to block it. Damien kicked the ball right at the corner of the goal and the ball went in. We all cheered loudly and then waited tensely as Damien then got ready to be goalie. The other team's kicker went up to the line and kicked it right at Damien so he blocked it easily. Next, I was up to kick. I kicked it to the bottom left corner of the goal and…

    After we warmed up it was time to play the final game. We were the home team so we were in the field first. I was playing center field and it was so hot outside that I felt like I was going to melt. When the umpire yelled, ”Play Ball!” I jumped up on my feet and was ready for the first pitch. On the very first pitch the batter hit the ball straight to me. I watched the ball go up in the air and I was putting my glove up in the air ready to catch the ball but then I lost track of it. My sunglasses did not help me with the sun. I was trying to find the ball, but then SMACK! The ball hit me straight in the mouth and I fell to the ground like a sack of…

    BEEP BEEP BEEP. It was nine in the morning. The Sunday after the Saturday. I did my usual every morning before a game. I would take a shower, brush my teeth, and put on my uniform. My uniform is the Barcelona soccer team. With my long navy socks and my soccer shoes. By that time it's already ten in the morning. My parents were at a seminar, so my dad's friend took me and my two brothers to the game.…

The number one team in the state of Kansas, the Hanover Wildcats. With only two seniors, our team had a record that you don’t exactly brag about.…

    Everyone on my team, including me, were 120% focused during our warm-up because we were versing a good Illinois team and their team’s name was Euro SC Select. This team had a lot of skilled and fast players that were definitely bigger than us. Most of the players on this team were very aggressive and physical too, so my team had to be very strong. There weren’t many times when my soccer games were really intense, but this game was very intense to watch and the parents were getting so nervous and anxious. It was a really close game and we ended up tying the game 0-0. Because of the tie in the championship game, we had to go into penalty kicks. My coach got to choose 5 people to kick from the penalty box and they have to try to make it in. My team was so scared to the point where we all held hands and we stayed very close to each other. In the end we were happy because we had made 3 out of 5 goals in and the other team only made 1 goal out of 5 shots! To phrase it better, my team won the tournament and we all lived happily ever…

    I was 9 years old on a soccer team in a school called Brightwood. We have a soccer game every Thursday and Brightwood was going against a school called Truesdell. I was warming up for the game and our coach was giving a speech about our tactics for winning the game and not losing focus of the game. My coach said “today is not the day to be a star, but to play as one”. Most of the players weren't focused on my coach's speech. I heard what the coach had said, but I had my own plans, I felt excited l that this will be the game I can prove that I am a someone.…

    At age 4 I was so much bigger than everyone they told me to play up 2 years. At age 8 I competed in my first high caliber game. At age 10-13 I played on a reigning 4x state champion soccer team who went anywhere just to get challenging competition. At age 14 I despised soccer. I would absolutely dread going to practice. The new coach killed every single sort of passion I had for the game. So I took a break. At age 15 I got back into it. That summer, I verbally committed to play soccer at the University of Idaho to play D1 soccer.…

    I made the team my junior year. Although I did not start the first games because the coach would put some of his favorite players in but one game he put me in second half and no one would get pass me. I was taking all the all the balls away from the opponents and also winning them in the air. After that game I became the starter for every game. It felt good because there were only seven juniors on the team and I was one out of three juniors that started every game. But I was really clad for myself because all the hard work I did over the summer paid off. We were in a tournament and were playing to go to the finals. We won 7 -1. I scored my first goal in that game. When I thought everything was going good one of the opponent player slide and hit me in the knee with his cleats and I just fell and I could not walk because it was the worst pain in the…
