    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 high school she played multiple sports but after her sophomore year she decided that she was going to stick with soccer and start focusing more on hat. Her senior year in college was really the start of her whole career. She played on the school team called the Golden Bears and was definitely their star. She led them to the NCAA tournament all of her four years and the second round twice (the NCAA is the National College Athletic Association.)

    “I have no idea that being a professional soccer player will ever be a career option- I think it would be cool to be an FBI agent- but even as a little girl, I take soccer seriously. Nobody ever has to tell me to practice, because it is all I want to do” (Lloyd and Coffey 2). She even wanted to quit the game once, but instead figured that she had to prove the “disbelievers” wrong. “I hated him in that moment, hated how he squashed my dream.…

    Quotes In Babe Ruth

    The first question asked Jessica Long was “ What is your opinion on Jeter’s quote”? She replied “ I agree with his quote because I believe if you look at Major League Baseball or other professional sports you will see that the people that are dedicated and work the hardest weren’t always the most talented when they were younger, they had to work at it to get better” ( Jessica Long). Jessica has a very valid point here. Most kids aren’t the most talented when they first start, they have to work to become a better athlete. Even in professional sports the players have to train and practice everyday to become better. They don’t get accepted onto the team and then don’t practice because it won't better them or better the team. Then she asked “What advice would you give younger athletes?” She responded “ My biggest advice would be to try as much as you can. I think a lot of kids right now are trying to specialize to soon which not only does it not help develop their skill set but also restricts them on what they are able to experience later on. I think if you focus totally on softball and your never tried anything else you never really know if soccer was really your thing”(Jessica Long). Jessica is stating that it is good to only want to do one sport and concentrate on it but it is also good to have an open mind. When you do a sport you can only want to do that sport but don’t overwork…
