Have you ever wondered what it is like to begin playing a new sport? Starting to play soccer was a big challenge for me. One reason it was difficult was because I had not even kicked a ball since I played as a child. Secondly, I began as a freshman playing on a varsity team. Lastly, there was the struggle to find my position and work together with the team as a whole. Beginning to play soccer again after many years was hard. Previously, as a kid, I played AYSO. Even still, I did not know the basics of soccer. The positions, rules, and plays seemed a foreign language to me. For example, at my first day of practice I could barely kick a ball, let alone dribble. There is a lot of running in soccer that I was not yet physically
