Personal Narrative: The Value Of A Soccer Team

355 Words2 Pages

Most people are loyal to one sport, but when it comes to fundamentals in any sport, you can never go wrong with running. When I was in fourth grade I played soccer. I wasn’t too bad, and mostly played defense and a bit of center mid. I had terrible stamina when it came to running laps, and I wasn’t on the faster side either. I was as fast a CHEETAH! (a dead one) Aside from having no speed or stamina, and on top of that, I came down with asthma. So I fell behind the rest of the team. Thankfully, my coach at the time realized this and started putting me in front of the line before we started running to keep me “fresh”. To this day I’m still not sure how this was supposed to help me, because everyone still passed me by the time we finished running.

    We smile when other athletes complain about running laps as punishment while we run twice that in warm-ups. It fascinates me that something so simple remains a constant and vital part of any athletic endeavor. Before there were balls to kick or throw, there were feet alone. Simplicity and freedom are the foundations of runners and their sport. There are no procedures, equipment, or even a team.
