Over the weekend I had a huge Soccer Tournament in Grey. We had two games on Saturday and one game Sunday. In the first game we played a Cumberland club team and beat them 2-0. In our second game we played Westbrook and won 5-0. So at the end of the day we were 2-0 and in first for our bracket, but winslow was also 2-0. Going into Sunday we had to beat South Portland by two goals and not let them score. We ended up tying them 3-3 and we got eliminated because Winslow beat Westbrook 4-0.…
"France has lost the battle. But France has not lost the war."- Charles de Gaulle. That is a quote I go by as I stand here at the Soccer Academy. I have a memory that really has affected me. That one really embarrassing moment. I have lost my soccer game eleven to four. Those numbers affect the way I play now even though it was about a month ago.…
ADD A BEGINNING Soccer was everything to me. I would go to my Mom and Dad and say “Lets go play soccer!” Add more right here. My dream was to go to OU and be on the women's soccer team. Little did I know that was all going to change.…
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…
The tension was getting more intense as the seconds passed. We were sitting in the dressing room waiting to go out on the Uruguayan field. Getting the prep talk from coach. The dream place for every player.I couldn't believe it. We had actually made it. We beat the best team on the semi-finals.Richard Downworth’s soccer team had done the impossible and reached the finals. They a team from the lowest rank of the soccer leagues. Charlie Jones was the best kid having scored in the semifinals as a 21 year old substitute.…

Soccer has been a big part of my life growing up. The biggest thing for me going into high school, freshman year, was making the soccer team. I showed up to every summer camp training first, and would work an hour before practice every day. To get better and impress the coaches. At the end of one practice the coach pulls me aside and tells me "Keep up the good work, you have a spot on Junior Varsity." At my school for a freshman to make JV was a big deal. I was ecstatic. Just as summer camp came to an end, tryouts began. I went into tryouts with great confidence, having no doubts in my mind about what team I made. The week after tryouts they posted the teams, with the confidence I had, I told myself that I didn't even need to look. That I had…
I was so nervous about starting soccer for my very first time ever. I knew that I knew nothing about soccer. But I decided that I was still going to try out for it anyway. Peyton Hudson really encouraged me to join because she was playing and she said it was a lot of fun, plus they needed players. I was just so excited to start playing.…
This year my soccer team had a record of 2-8-1. It was very difficult for us as a team to stay strong after losing so many games, especially myself, but we kept playing. Despite losing the first eight games of our season, I maintained a positive attitude and kept things in perspective. Each loss strengthened our team and made us became better not only as a team, but individuals. During one of our away games, I injured myself which caused me to be out the rest of the season. It was hard for me to watch my team from the sidelines and not be out there with them, but I learned that being both supportive and energetic can be just as valuable to the team. There were many times I felt discouraged about my inability to participate on the field, but…
I started playing soccer at a very young age and instantly fell in love with the sport. I have always been drawn to the validation of the attention I received when doing something well. And soccer wasn’t an exception.…
The Average size of a Nfl player ranges from 5-11 to 6-4 and weight 215-295lbs. I was roughly 5-4 and 120lb when I started my football career so as you can see how I differed. I was told before I even started to play that I was to short or too small but I was determined as a person also as a player.…

I will define myself with my talent. My talent is soccer by the way and during my school years I had always been on soccer. I think that this soccer talent is heritage from my family. I started playing soccer at Roma Middle School and my coaches saw a future on me. I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it to the team because I was chubby and for this sport you got to be on shape. I didn’t give up and as a seventh grader, I was already playing as a starter on team A. I was with fear because I had never experience a game related with school or in which ever place of the world. My coach was motivating me to try as hard as I could to beat our classic rival game against Ramiro Barrera Middle School. We won one to zero at the last minute with my goal.…
Service is a mindset. I work at Shady Grove and try to see my job as a way to serve others. I greet all customers with a smile and treat them with dignity; I am amazed to see the difference it makes in someone’s day. However, I don’t always see the positive outcome of a simple smile. Numerous times, I have had been responded to with a grimace or no expression at all. I know that the people might think I am bizarre for smiling for no particular reason, but I try to look at the effects and realize that I am willing to take the risk to be looked at as odd if the alternative option is that the person’s day became a little better. If we continually look for ways in which we can help others, the world we live in would be strengthened and made more prosperous. Some may believe that by serving others, our personal gain may be hindered; however, I truly believe that if we look for ways to serve others, it will not detract from our personal gain, rather, it will help us.…
