Personal Narrative: The North American Soccer Team
It was a chilly and cloudy night. Me and family were having some supper, and we just came back from a soccer try out. Until Suddenly, I see my dad from distance on the porch jumping up and down in excitement and joy. My father called me to the porch, so I whipped on my jacket, jumped into my slip ons and dashed to the porch. I thought my dad got hurt, but really, he just gave me his phone to read the email he received from DASC saying “ You have been invited by GIS (Global Image Sports) to play with the North American soccer team.” I knew this was the start of something extraordinary. When me and my father arrived at the Sioux Falls airport, we flew to Chicago. And from Chicago to Manchester, England. Home of Manchester United and Manchester …show more content…
The last day at Sheffield, we toured the stadium, and I said to my dad that “I haven’t even been in a stadium, what a way to start my first!” Then my dad exclaimed, “ Well, this is your chance for the time of your life!” Next up was to go to the Wolves. When we went to the wolves Stadium, and they had a game center, VIP center, even a jail in the stadium, obviously for field intruders. On the other hand, I told my father, “ I want to live in the UK when I grow up.” Then my father said “Fine by me.” My father and I had a blast, but that seemed nothing compared to Sheffield and Wolverhampton. Stoke was something else. We saw the stoke city line-up that we watch every Sunday and Saturday. After we left Stoke-on -Trent, we headed to Birmingham for the Aston Villa game. I exclaimed to my dad “This past nine days it was my first time at a stadium, just imagine a live game in the BPL!” My favorite part of the match was when Ayew scored a curving goal outside the big D, but in the end lost the match with a hard fight with the score 4-3 Watford wins. However, I was going for Watford to, but if people heard Watford fans cheering talking bad things about the home side they’d probably beat you up. All of this was for me, so me and my father go home feeling proud with gifts for

    When I was ten years old I tried out for my local travel soccer team. I did not expect to make it, but by some stroke of luck I did. I started playing and it was not what I was expecting. In the past I averaged a hat trick every game, but travel soccer was a lot different. I started playing defense, but that might be an overstatement, because I did not get a whole lot of minutes. I knew that if I wanted to play more I was going to have to put in more work outside of practice. I started practicing everyday switching from running, to foot skills, to agility training. I probably spent more time complaining about it and there were a few time that my parents had to push me to practice, but I knew that I had to put in the work.…

    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.…

    Cleveland is home of the Cavaliers, Indians, and the Browns. July of 2017 is was able to take a trip to Cleveland, Ohio. The main reason we went was because it was a huge bowling tournament. I finished 911th out of 1418 kids in the u20 division. The drive was the best part of the whole trip though. It was really interesting to see how different places are and how different the country is in different states. Driving through Iowa was really strange. There was no hills at all. Driving through the different states was cool, there was no place that was the same. When we got to Cleveland there was so much to do that we never what to do. We went to dave and busters one day and played the games, it was really fun and interesting to see what different…

    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…

    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.…
