I would like to say that I try my best in everything that I do, but that would be a lie. One thing that I really took pride in during high school was soccer. I enjoyed all of the activities that I participated in, but soccer was definitely my favorite. Whenever the team had practice or games, I was always putting forth my best effort.
Unlike a lot of people, I did not play soccer my whole life. Outside of just kicking a ball around, I had never really played until my freshman year. When I joined the team, I was absolutely in love. The first week of practice was tiring, but all worth it. I started off playing on the Junior Varsity team; later on in the season coach promoted me to the competitive game. All though practices were harder, I wanted to try even harder. I was so proud of making the varsity team as a freshman having never played before.
As a center-mid, I did a lot of running. I felt that I always had to work hard to keep such a good position on the team. Although I always thought I was working at my best, the time that I was at my best was during my first tournament. We had already played 2 games that day, so I was very tired. I was so ecstatic when I scored my very first goal! All of my hard work from practice and other games finally paid off.
When you know that you are trying your best, it is a good feeling. It is important to work hard until all of your efforts pay off. If I try my best in all of my classes during this first semester, I know that my hard work will pay off with a good GPA
Soccer is pretty much the best sport ever. I was also a center mid.
ReplyDeletewell im not a huge fan of soccer by any means and never have been, but it sounds like you had a fun time with it throughout high school.
ReplyDeleteI was involved in soccer when I was younger but we never had it in high school until I think it was my junior year.
ReplyDeleteWay to try a new sport that you have never played until then. For me I have never played rugby until this year and like you, I fell in love with after practicing one time.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you made varsity your first year! That's definitely something to be proud of!! Congrats! :)
ReplyDeleteYa I played soccer through the YMCA where I lived, but my high school wasn't big enough to have a soccer team... bummers
ReplyDeleteI use to play soccer when I was younger but at our school we don’t have soccer so I couldn’t play anymore.
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty cool, sounds like you have some natural talent. You should play intramural soccer round here. Anyway its cool that you recognize that hard work now pays off later.
ReplyDeleteSoccer is not a sport! :) haha just kidding. I'm glad you had so much fun with it
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed soccer. Sounds like you have the same passion for it as I do for music and art.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that you played soccer in high school. I used to play soccer through the YMCA, but it wasn't offered at my high school unfortunately.
