Personal Narrative: Improving My Soccer Skills

Secondly, playing with Oakville Soccer Club has improved my soccer skills. I began playing house league when I was young. I remember being the top scorer on my team, as I scored 7 goals in one game. My coach believed that house league was not a challenge for me and that playing red league would be more competitive, and that’s what I did. Through the few years of playing soccer at lower level for OSC it has prepared me for playing at a higher level. The coaches had potential that I was good enough to play rep soccer. At the age of 12 I started playing rep soccer for many clubs. The coaches pushed me and helped me discover my potential as a defender. As I discovered my potential as a defender, I tried out for my high school soccer team and played
for my junior and senior years. I was also awarded the most outstanding player in grade 11. The final year of my soccer career I played rep for OSC. Our soccer coach pushed me to my limits, knowing this is the only way for me to improve. Although I have stopped playing soccer, Oakville Soccer Club has helped me reach this far and I am proud to be a part of the club. As the years went by, playing and working for the Oakville Soccer Club has been a pleasure of mine. I have learned a lot and will definitely use these skills in the future.
Although I will no longer be coaching or playing for OSC, I will always remember OSC for being a great organization.
