Personal Narrative: My Life As A Soccer Player

Winning this game did not only mean bringing a shiny trophy home. It changed the way I thought about my skill and confidence. Few years ago when I started to play soccer, I was not the player that everyone depended on or was the most athletic. Winning my first championship game made believe that this is one of many trophies I will earn. This achievement made me work hard on improving myself as a soccer player.

After, we ran to the stand that had our trophies on it. I walked up to my dad with pride and excitement as he handed me the first trophy I ever owned. I began to think about how he has always been there supporting me, helping me grow on and off the field, and telling me that not everything goes the way people want it to in life and they have to accept that. I was 5 years old, and it was my first year playing soccer or any sport at all. I grew up thinking that everything would go my way, but, when my parents introduced me to

In other words, I believe soccer has changed my life and became an ongoing achievement in my life, that will forever stay in my heart forever. When I am at practice I think about the possibility that my team is not only our team, but they are my

Soccer shaped a lot of who I am, soccer has taught me how to commit, know when to make a move, and it has made me tolerant. Soccer is all about commiting to the ball, if one was to hesitate while going for a goal it will not be as powerful. I bring that into driving, school, talking, and writing. Along with committing one has to know exactly when to commit. Soccer is about timing, if I get to a certain position is a certain amount of time I will

Education has always been a primary focus for me. I was always participating in extra credit projects and assignments just to continue learning. However, I was raised as an athlete, nothing brought me more joy than kicking a soccer ball. I tried various different sports like softball, lacrosse, volleyball, and basketball but none of them were as good as soccer. I have been playing soccer more years than I have been in school.

He was an amazing soccer player and is an excellent person in general. He has devoted his life to doing good and teaching others. He taught his teammates about soccer and life as well. Many of them said that they were honored to play with him. In this paper I have proved that Pelé,a Brazilian footbauller,is the best in all time.

The ball go faster and stronger. On grass you have to us your own legs and kick the ball hard. The smell on the grass field during the spring season is fabulous, it makes me want to play soccer every day with my friends.

My life revolved around soccer. However, in the spring of freshman year I was burning out. I had finished the fall season of high school, winter league was over and I was trying to balance spring club soccer with high school track. Without a break and feeling overwhelmed, I grew disinterested in soccer as it became a stressful environment for me as the older girls had to join our team

Our past is a unique collection of events which have occurred before the present moment, my past, before this moment on the soccer field was sadly, missing this exact shot time and time again. After countless failed attempts at this same shot, I saw a pattern and sought to correct my misfortunes. Although it took hours upon hours to fully master the craft of taking a penalty kick, I was eventually able to convert the shot into a goal 98% of the time. By having this understanding of what had happened to me in the past, and positively projecting this understanding into the future by practice, I was able to improve as a player, and as a person as I was beginning to see a connection between the game of football and how I lived my

It was August 2008, on a breezy afternoon I decided to join the soccer team nearby. I whatsoever did not know how to play soccer at all. I tried and tried to kick the ball into the goal, but it just wouldn't go. It would just keep going to either left of the goal or the right. If the ball even reached near the goal, the goalie would end up catching it.

High and his name is Logan Northup from Sigourney. I have inspired my brothers to play every year and my Dad coaches them too but they have never been undefeated. Logan taught me tricks and techniques because he played soccer in college. He got me started playing soccer for William Penn College youth leagues after I got too old to play for Sigourney anymore.

Her accomplishments make everyone want to work hard and be the best they can(Stenson, T. 2015). Personally Carli Lloyd has been a hero to me. She has been a great person to look up to and it is good to watch her play. She has affected many soccer players around the world and has been a very good influence(Hayes, G.2015). Additionally she has taken the time out of her day to go around the U.S. talking to kids and giving powerful speeches.

I first got interested in soccer when my brother began to play and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. When my brother began to become more invested in soccer I did to. As I have continued to play I have become more and more interested in doing my best and building on the skills I already had. At Saint Francis I hope to continue my love for soccer and share my talents with others. Along with soccer I am interested in photography and capturing moments and being able to share those moments with others.

What defines you? In a people’s lives, things come and go, some in which stay and will grow to define them as a person, and some that bring joy and happiness. A short-cut green grass soccer field is what defines me, while cheering for my school is my favorite thing to do. I take pleasure in stepping outdoors in my new Nike soccer cleats, soaking in the fresh air. Other than new cleats, receiving a brand new uniform spelling out “ESHS” makes me proud to attend the unbelievable school.

From someone who was insecure about his racial and social status in society, I found soccer to be a liberation from my anxieties. My talent for playing soccer has inevitably given me a lifelong warranty of friendships that appreciate me for my talent and looking at me as an admirable soccer player – not an immigrant, not as the new
