Passion is a powerful emotion towards something. Ted Bell has a great amount of passion for the game baseball. There was a time when Ted could not hit anything and he had gone in to a slump for fifteen games. Ted did not hang…
It had been a long and tough game. The sun was beating down on us and we were all tired when all of a sudden the game’s time limit ran out. We were all tense because no one knew the score. The ref said that the game was tied. We all exhaled. We hadn't even realized we were holding our breaths. That meant we all had to do PKs (Penalty kicks) until one team won.…
What motivates a person to better himself, accomplish something, or to pursue and achieve a goal? I think the answer is passion. A strong and barely controllable emotion is the definition of passion. It is your desire and love of something so much that you will do anything you can to see it succeed. Another definition of passion is the suffering and death of Jesus. I think this single word is the reason why William Bradford chose to leave Holland in order to obtain religious freedom. He had such a passion and desire to remove himself from all control of the “church” that he was willing to do anything to obtain it.…
Sectionalism is a division within a country based on regional beliefs and interests. In the early to mid 1800’s, sectionalism in America grew as slavery divided in the Nation. Slavery was ignored, compromised, and argues about but the states until the conflict drove our country in the Civil War. Although regional differences are not distinct these days, many issues are currently causing division among the states and people of our country. These issues lead to what our history class describes as “modern sectionalism.” One such issue is to care more about soccer in Iowa Falls.…

Over the years soccer has taught me many life lessons and I believe the years have changed my life for the better.…
I come from a simple and humble family that had to work very hard to survive and progress in the united states. At a young age I remember losing my father from an unexplicable disease that not even the best doctor in the US were able to figure out. Even though this devastated my entire family my mom never putted her head down and played both roles at home. It was difficult to get over It, but I was able to refuge myself on the soccer fields and get away from the streets ,alcohol, and drugs something that any other kid at age of twelve would have done in those days. Soccer has helped me to make friends everywhere, win many championships, and push myself to my limits to get better at it. My father always wanted me to play soccer and be part of a important team.…
Nothing feels better than when I step onto the field. It is an instant release of stress. A true feeling of amenity. Soccer is my passion and my drive. Soccer is what combats my conflicts and keeps me moving. Soccer is not just a sport to me, soccer is essential to my life.…
My life has revolved around soccer since I was four years old. My whole family was born into the sport and I’m so thankful that I have the support from my family and friends to continue to follow my dream in playing college soccer. I believe my life would not be the same without participating in the sport I love and playing with the people I grew up with. I wouldn’t have met half the people I know now. All my teammate’s families that treat me like their family would have been just imaginary. I wouldn’t have a second family to fall back on when I need. Soccer had made me for who I am. The reason I’m so competed and driven is because of the game. Soccer has helped me become a responsible hardworking young adult that doesn’t like to fail. My never-quit…
At first a passion can’t be yours unless introduced in some way. Chelsea was introduced by her family, “I got into playing sports as a young child because sports were a passion of my dad's, which then quickly became a passion of my own. As I got older sports just became something that I did and the thought of not playing a sport each season was definitely out of the question.” She…
Growing up I love soccer, it was my favorite game. Nobody could really understand why I loved this sport seeing it was foreign in origin. What’s not foreign in origin? America have nothing that truly belong to them. Now that I am married my husband thinks soccer is the weakest form of sports known to man in history. I tried showed him in history where the Mayans, Aztecs and Inca all played ball games very similar to soccer as well as football and other modern day ball games.…
One of the best feelings in the world for me is when I am playing soccer. Soccer is not only a favorite sport of mine but it is one I am good at as well. Perhaps this is why I like it so much. Soccer is fun for me because I know how to play and I am good at it.…
Jessica runs down the field, towards to goal. She can feel the wind rushing past her. She lifts her foot up and swings at the worn out soccer ball. The ball just slips past the goalies gloves and hits the back of the net. That’s what she craved, except that feeling was separated by the feeling of her parents saying that she had four F’s and a D on her report card.…
Passions are the things that drive us everyday. They keep us sane when we have rough patches in our lives and drive us crazy when we have no one to share them with. For many,finding a long standing passion comes later on in life, however for few a passion is found from a young age.…
As an athlete you need to focus on the "little things", the aspects of your game that you directly control. You have control over how you execute your Joni and defense. You have control over your hustle, your speed, your drive and your effort. You have control as you are positioning your body against your opponent. You have control over your attitude, your spirit, your passion, and your good sportsmanship.…
