My First Soccer Career
I pulled up my socks, slid in my shin guards, and tied my cleats extra tight; my hand was in the huddle as I looked around at our pink jerseys and proceeded to shout my team name. I was about to play my first soccer game ever on a 6v6 field with my dad at my side as my coach. Who knew that eleven years later I would still be playing and working my way up to the collegiate level. Starting in the fall of my freshman year, I played in an extremely competitive national league, where everyone was trying to earn the right to play and secure a scholarship for college. It was on this team that I faced my first, real hardship. Everything up to this point in my soccer career had been easygoing in that I had great relationships with previous coaches

    Personal Narrative: A Career In Nicaragua

    It started just as any normal Saturday would; December 8, 2012, I woke up, went through my morning routine and went to soccer practice. I was competing for a spot on the North Carolina ODP (Olympic Development Program) soccer team. Training was being held at fields about two hours from my house. I sat in the backseat of my dad’s car with my two sisters and as we rode to the fields I began to mentally prepare myself for how I would play my best and make the team.…

    Personal Narrative: How Soccer Changed My Life

    I had to deal with disappointment from teammates, coaches, parents, and, above all, myself. On the first day of tryouts my freshman year of highschool, I was kindly hypothesized to possess “potential”. I was horrified. Potential was the label given to those who stood on the brink of mediocrity; those who walked the terribly broad line of “nothing special.” I was painfully average. After being praised for my talents throughout the course of my entire soccer career, you can imagine my surprise and disappointment upon hearing the mortifying pronouncement of my amateurity. I didn’t know it at the time, but my coach did me a huge favor with his frankness. I realized that not everything in life would be handed to me on a silver platter. In fact, most of it would not. I had to prove myself worthy, not only to my coach, but to myself as well. Through my extra workout and practice sessions, I developed determination and a tireless work ethic that I apply to every facet of my life. I’ve learned how to take criticism and losses and transfigure them into improvements and…

    Personal Narrative-Upward Bound Program

    This is my second year on the Peabody Magnet High Soccer team, and I was even awarded the Coach’s award for playing midfield and made honorably mention in my district ranking. I also am the Co-Captain of the Peabody Flag line. Being on the soccer and flag teams taught me that hard work really pays off and really forced me to challenge myself. When the flag line first started, we did not have a coach or experience. Although we taught ourselves our own routines, techniques and twirls; we placed and won a 3rd place trophy in our first battle of the bands competition. It was the smallest trophy there, but it meant more to me than any big one could. It just proved to me again that if I put my mind to something I could accomplish…

I first started playing I was four or five years old and am still currently playing for the Cape Coral Cyclones and the Oasis Sharks Varsity team.

Soccer has been a major part of my life ever since I was a kid and it has had a huge impact as well. Along with playing the game, I have also developed valuable teamwork and leadership skills.…

    autoethography

    Towards the second year of high school during the winter months, where soccer was not in season an opportunity happened to me that made me a better soccer player. There was a group of kids over at Air Force base who would go to the indoor soccer field and just practice around. I was one of those guys and we would meet up and play around twice a week. Practicing with those guys made me good but not good enough. But one day when we were doing our regular practice one of the soccer players who plays for the Air Force team saw me asked me to show up and join one of their practice. So I did. After a couple of practice they decided to let me join their team. I asked the guy why he chose me to join with them, and his response was that I reminded of him back when he was younger. He told me that I had determination and love for this game and that I just needed to practice harder and more. Which is the reason why he had me join his team so that I could practice with them.…

    Personal Narrative: My Old High School Soccer Team

    Last year, it was my first year when I work in the female soccer team from my old high school. This was a soccer team where I was a goalkeeper trainer. This team was the high school soccer team representing the local High school. The purpose for our team was to win all the games against other schools, another of our goals was to have fun and to stay active; my personal goal was to train the goalkeepers the best I can and make them better soccer players. The best reward we all get was the feeling of been the winning team, the feeling that we all get after realizing how hard work has paid off. That is always the best feeling, to win games. The best reward I get personally is just to know that I trained the goalkeeper the right way, and they had…

    Personal Narrative: College Softball

    Later in my high school career, now bigger and stronger, I tried out for an elite summer softball team. My new coach was unlike any coach I had had before. He would scream in my face, and point out my flaws in front of the entire team. However, most importantly, he challenged me to grow as a person and to confront my biggest fear, which is failure. He pushed me to my limits, making me want to quit and wishing I had never played the game. Despite these challenges, I persevered and became mentally and physically…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Soccer Player

    As a young boy of about nine or ten, it was a dream of mine to play on my school’s Varsity Soccer team. I spent many nights watching the current players contest with other schools for the title of WPIAL Champions. Being a young club soccer player, this was my ultimate goal. Now even though I had a strong passion for the game, my many years of club soccer were not easy. I was not a sub-par player, but I was also not the prodigy that some of my teammates were. I had to work much harder than most players to secure my starting spot on my team, but my efforts definitely payed off. For the first five or six years of club soccer, I held a spot as one of my team’s two starting center defenders. All of a sudden, while at a rainy tournament game in West Virginia, I went into a tackle wrong and injured my back. My entire soccer career went downhill from…

    How Soccer Changed My Life

    Like hockey, soccer is second to religion in my family, and my parents use to tease me on how I will put on my soccer Jersey and boots (cleats) in the morning for an evening game. Now, I play for a team, the Northshore Select Club, in the offensive position and at times falls back to the midfield, but can take any role that the team coach decides is the best for the team at any given tournament. This soccer team is one of the best and productive select clubs in my area, with zero loss in this 2017 soccer season, but I cannot claim any sole effort, rather the accolade goes to the entire team. The Soccer offered me a lot of benefits, through this game I learned how to work as a team to achieve a common goal, how to follow coaching instruction, follow rules of engagement, accepts results and use it to prepare for the…

    Personal Narrative: My Experience As A Soccer Player

    Starting soccer when I was only five years old was challenging because of my October birthday I had to play with all the six year olds. My parents had put me in soccer because I was a young boy filled with too much energy. After playing soccer for about a year I decided I wanted to do more, I loved the sport. I started playing club soccer when I was 7 years old, playing for under the wing of Charley Amblo. This was a training team only, it was not till I was nine that I was started playing for a travel team. This was the beginning of where I learned my leadership, time management, and teamwork dynamics.…
