The Sarah Bartmaan video today had some very shocking mistreatment of African Americans. I don’t understand how Europeans could justify their actions of treating another human being like that. Also to know that people still went to see her pickled remains for almost a century after her death showed that it was more than one person that contributed to this. People thought that African Americans were a different species and weren’t even human. We can also see this in our society today. I grew up outside the Bronx, and my school was mainly comprised of African American and Hispanic people. My cousins that lived just outside the city in the suburbs, went schools were the population was 90% white. It is almost like our races still keep us separate…

The soccer goalkeeper is one of the most forgotten and unappreciated positions in the sport. The majority of people are afraid to play it or watch their kids play it; the few who do decide it is their spot, are marked off and placed in the goal. With youth players, it is usually the one or two kids that do not completely hate goal that end up being put there.

These opportunities will give many young players a chance to get a full grasp on their feelings for the position, may it be love or hate. Clinics also provide an easy way…

It is important to get the correct angle whilst passing a ball as it gives you a higher chance of hitting your desired target, you need to preferably be looking in the direction you are going to be passing in to, also you need to have enough room to swing your leg back and kick through the ball. Your non-kicking foot needs to be flatly placed on the surface next to the ball with it facing the direction you wish the ball to go. The contact of the ball and which part of the foot you kick with is totally dependent on what type of pass you are planning on doing. For example for a short pass you will need to hit the middle of the ball with the inside of your foot to keep it accurate but on the ground, but if you compare this to a driven pass which…

That wasn’t the only circumstance that taught me those lessons. I was bullied for being on the varsity team in 8th grade. I wanted to stay home and cry because girls would torture me daily. However, my love for the game forced me to hop in goal and save any shot I can. In my final year as I was named captain. I realized I made the right choice, to not give up. After all, if I learned anything from being a goalkeeper, it was to ignore people in the stands and get on with trying to win. My love for the game and for being a goalkeeper taught me to not only be tough but it also taught me how to be determined and loyal. If it wasn’t for soccer, I don’t know what kind of person I’d…

Finally, after several weeks of hard work and frustration, he kicked the ball high and far and it soared into the four foot tall portable soccer goal. The smile on Jake’s face had never been wider, and much to my surprise, he ran over and gave me a hug; The boy, against all odds, had truly become passionate about the beautiful game of soccer.…
