My soccer career Soccer is all about the team. A community of people where the success of each individual depends on the efforts of all, and vice versa.

Our coach Rashed Al Bediah is a maximalist, however I think being a maximalist is the only way to get to the top. With Rashed Al Bediah we no longer suffer on the field, we began to play fast soccer with ball control. Moreover, he improved our

“Congratulations, this is the 2013-2014 Mission Vista Men’s Varsity Soccer team.” I still remember the words coming out of my high school coach’s mouth as he spoke to the new varsity team after tryouts.

Soccer isn’t just knowing how to pass the ball, it's the fluidity of how well one team can work together, what key components make a team mesh mell, why the teams would strive for perfection, how hard one will be willing to work to put forth their best effort for the entirety of the team, and what will they be willing to sacrifice.
