Personal Narrative: Soccer Should Be A Part Of Everyone's Life
I believe in soccer

I believe that soccer should be a part of everyone’s life. I have played soccer since I was 5 and it has left a great impact on my life. This year is my senior year in high school and it will be my last year playing on a serious soccer team. I have played select soccer for 8 years now and they have been amazing years. Over the years soccer has taught me many life lessons and I believe the years have changed my life for the better.
I have learned how to work as a team and not just by myself. Soccer forces you whether you like it or not to become a member of the team. At first I was scared because I was the new player, but everyone was so nice to me and I made a lot of good friends from soccer. On the field you have to

    It had been a long and tough game. The sun was beating down on us and we were all tired when all of a sudden the game’s time limit ran out. We were all tense because no one knew the score. The ref said that the game was tied. We all exhaled. We hadn't even realized we were holding our breaths. That meant we all had to do PKs (Penalty kicks) until one team won.…

    It was a frigid, windy, Friday night in October. The only light was the bright and beaming illumination of the stadium lights projecting over the soccer field. The bleachers were full, it seemed as if the whole school was there, and as a freshman with anxiety, it made it hard to cope with the fact, that I was going to be a starter for the varsity soccer team.…

    People ask me why I care so much. They tell me it’s just a game, get over it. But soccer has never been just a game to me. Soccer has been consuming my time, thoughts, and body since my parents signed me up for small-time recreational soccer twelve years ago that developed into extremely competitive travel soccer. They, perhaps unknowingly, threw me headlong into a life of traveling countless miles, long nights of practice, and an unforgettable amount of tears, sweat, and bloodshed. All which persisted over the course of my extensive soccer career.…

    It all started at ninth street with some friends of mine John and I started recruiting some people to come play football with us. I honestly didn’t know I had a pretty decent arm. I originally was going to start practicing to play wide receiver instead of quarterback. At the time Odell Beckham Jr. ( wide receiver for the New York Giants ) was extremely explosive and dynamic on offense. Seeing him blow up on offense made me want to try out for wide receiver. But somehow John convinced me to play quarterback.…

    My life has revolved around soccer since I was four years old. My whole family was born into the sport and I’m so thankful that I have the support from my family and friends to continue to follow my dream in playing college soccer. I believe my life would not be the same without participating in the sport I love and playing with the people I grew up with. I wouldn’t have met half the people I know now. All my teammate’s families that treat me like their family would have been just imaginary. I wouldn’t have a second family to fall back on when I need. Soccer had made me for who I am. The reason I’m so competed and driven is because of the game. Soccer has helped me become a responsible hardworking young adult that doesn’t like to fail. My never-quit…

    Soccer has always been something I loved but also something that I didn’t always take seriously until about my freshman year of high school. I can remember my first time realizing and seeing how awe-inspiring place the center of a soccer field can be. I was in the latter half of 8th grade, taking part in a league being held by a local K-8 school and my team had made it to the final. After winning that game I remember I just sprinted as hard as I could into the middle of the field and just jumped as high and far as I could and just yelled as hard as could, it was at that moment that I fell in love with the field and game like I never had before.…

    My passion is soccer which I have played soccer since I was 5. I was put in soccer because my mom and my dad were athletic and played many sports as a child. I was very active always running around so soccer was a good way to get my energy out. As I got older, I continued to play because I found it fun and it was nice to meet new people but I never truly felt the love for soccer until I was eight. I was on a team called, Too Hot to Handle with Coach Kakimoto.…

    As a freshman on varsity soccer, I set my expectations high for myself. That’s why I was so disappointed with my soccer abilities when I was benched several games. So, I made myself work over the winter and summer to have some playing time on varsity. Every Sunday, my parents would go wash clothes at the laundromat and I would cross the street to my local YMCA and practice outside by myself. No matter what the weather was I’d be out there. I would set up tires in front of the goal and shoot through them to work on my accuracy, for my both left and right foot and back up more and more every time I got it through. Eventually, when it started getting warmer more people started to go. I met many people through the game and I learned a variety…

    Starting soccer when I was only five years old was challenging because of my October birthday I had to play with all the six year olds. My parents had put me in soccer because I was a young boy filled with too much energy. After playing soccer for about a year I decided I wanted to do more, I loved the sport. I started playing club soccer when I was 7 years old, playing for under the wing of Charley Amblo. This was a training team only, it was not till I was nine that I was started playing for a travel team. This was the beginning of where I learned my leadership, time management, and teamwork dynamics.…

    Another part of soccer that really motivates me to play better, is watching the team FC Barcelona play. They are known as the best team In the world today.
