Diversity is something that I believe is very important in any situation. Without diversity, people would be too similar. Diversity makes people who they are. I am a 14-year-old soccer player who moved to California after living in Massachusetts for 5 years, is have over 50 first cousins all of which are from Massachusetts.

He changed our formation from a 4-4-2 which has four defenders, four midfielders, and two attackers, to a 4-2-3-1 which has four defenders, two defensive midfielders, three attacking midfielders, and one forward. This transition did not go over well, much like when we first learned the basic formation because it was a completely new learning experience. Coach Jon had previous experience
Over the past 30 years the use of performance analysis in football has increased dramatically. Football is physiologically demanding: each position within the game requires different skills and physical attributes that a player needs to maintain to compete at a high standard.

She played a major role for her teams success and their wins throughout the Olympics, world cups, and many matches. Carli Lloyd has done a great job at holding down the midfield and hopefully
I have no options and the pressure of man on. I quickly pass up to my forward, Crystal Dunn. Her speed on the ball is electric. Us midfielders and other forwards sprint up to pinch in and become an option for her. Crystal seems to effortlessly travel with the ball to the eighteen yard line and scores!!! With our second goal the crowd seems and feels as if we got the game won. I take a

To start our game, Josh, our forward, chose heads in the coin toss and we decided to shoot south to avoid the sun. In our first offensive play, I passed to a midfielder, he got past an opponent forward, and kicked horizontally from the right corner of the field.

I have joined Qadsia Sporting Club. It was hard for me to adjust, since playing in the Division One was totally different than in the Premier League. We have a lot of power struggles in the midfield, and soccer is more athletic! I am a defensive midfielder; they are always in short supply.

The team consisted of many players in which they all had different styles of playing and different personalities.
