On September, 22nd, 1995 a legend was born. Her name was Alexis Elizabeth Taparrotta, and she was one of those lucky people who is born kicking but doesn’t stop. Alexis started playing soccer at the age of three. Her parents signed her up at such a young age so she would always have a lead on other potential legends. Alexis had a weird obsession with soccer. Every single thing she owned either had something to do with soccer or had a soccer ball on it. She had a soccer bed set, books, balls that went on the ceiling that would glow in the dark when the lights were off, posters, clothes, every possible jersey worn by a soccer player. She also had every single world cup soccer ball in the…
In soccer the three energy systems are all used. The ATP-PC system for high intensity short bursts; the lactic acid system for intermediate bursts of longer distances, lasting about 90 seconds; and then finally the aerobic system for long efforts of low to moderate intensity. Football consists of short sprint, jogging, moderate paced running, walking and standing still. In soccer there are many different positions, all using different energy systems. The defenders stand still and but also have high intensity short busts to get the ball. This position uses the ATP-PC system. Also in soccer are the mid-fielders. These people are constantly jogging, moving the ball from the centre of the field to the goal. These people are usually the fittest on the team as they mainly use the aerobic system. Also in soccer there is the goalie. The role of them is to block off the ball from getting to the goal. This position is using the ATP-PC system as she/he is standing still most the game, only moving in short bursts when they are catching/defending off the ball. Lastly there are the forwards. The job of these people is to score the goals. The forwards are most of the time moderate paced running/jogging or short sprints to get the ball to the goal. This is part of the lactic acid system. Soccer uses the three different systems throughout the game, just depending on what position you are. In soccer the three energy systems are all used.

On July 11, 1804, what was said to be the most prominent duel occurred. The duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton was remarkable as it corresponded to the young, emergent nation because it illustrated the bloodshed that politicians would go through for their political reputation. Joseph J. Ellis spent an entire chapter discussing this conspicuous event for that very reason. Ellis purposely made this chapter the first chapter because he wished to provide evidence that supports his thesis and also catches the reader's attention.…

The soccer kick is the essence of association football (soccer). This move is performed in every single game of football all over the world, whether it’s professional or amateur. There are two main ways of classifying kicks in soccer; the free kick and kicks in general play. The free kick occurs when a player impedes one of the laws of the game and the opposing team are therefore awarded a ‘free kick’ without the other team touching the ball and must be a certain distance away from the ball and the player who is kicking it. The kicks in general play are very OPEN skills as there are countless different scenarios when it comes to the soccer pitch. The free kick is somewhat CLOSED because of the ball being stationary on the ground however the distance and environment is still very unpredictable. The soccer kick is a GROSS MOTOR skill as I will show further in the report almost all the muscle groups will be utilised and activated. The soccer kick is also a SERIAL skill; the run up, striking of the ball and follow through all come into play.…
To play right back on a soccer team you have to know when to move and where to move on the pitch. For example if the ball is on the left side of the pitch on a team’s half a right back player would have to drop behind the center back for extra defense against the other team. Another example would also be if a player on the opposite team confronts the right back defending they would need to go up to them and have a defensive stance 2 feet away. This stance would either push them to the side of the pitch towards the line or depending on how close they…

Initially, my understanding of soccer was very minimal compared to what the coach, Ahmad, had to teach us. I saw the game of soccer from a brand new perspective after practicing with him. General terms like “man-to-man” and “wing cross”, both widely known among soccer players, were very new to me. Coach Ahmad also had special code words like “the three eagles” that he gave to different plays, that way we could communicate loudly with the other players without the opponents figuring out our strategy. As we met more and more each week, my teammates and I began to get used to the new vocabulary and methods of practice, strategies we were not familiar with, which helped our team interact with each other to strengthen our inner spirits. After only a few weeks, most players had gained a large amount of experience and their soccer skills had drastically improved. We had all become a discrete soccer team ready to begin the school’s private league.…

When I first started, I was a little terror on the field. I loved to score right from the beginning. When you are at that age you play “bunch ball”, so what my father told me to do was to stand outside the bunch and wait till the ball squirted out. This plan worked brilliantly, I scored goal after goal with this method. As I continued to play and move through the ranks of soccer I began to enjoy it more with every game I played. I went to tournaments all across California and even some out of state. I was having the time of my life playing the world-renowned game of soccer.…
