It was 6:00 A.M. and my soccer match was in 3 hours. My alarm clock went off for 5 straight minutes until I finally turned it off and decided to wake up. The night before, I decided to practice for at least 30 minutes but I actually practiced for 2 hours and 30 minutes. I did some sprinting drills, running drills, shooting drills, and just some regular exercise such as push ups and sit ups. As you can imagine I was very tired and sore. I went downstairs made a quick protein shake and then went to go brush my teeth. I went to practice for 40 min just to get a little bit of practice before the game. I did sprints, shooting, and juggles. After I warmed up, I was sweating and pretty tired. So I decided to take a cold shower to relieve muscle soreness.

I was watching soccer skills and goals by Gareth Bale, and Cristiano Ronaldo. Gareth Bale is my favorite player then, it's Cristiano Ronaldo. I like Gareth Bale more than Cristiano Ronaldo because he's the fastest player and I wanna be like him. Cristiano Ronaldo is better, but I just prefer Gareth Bale. Gareth Bale runs at a speed of 34.7km/h while, Cristiano Ronaldo only runs 33.6km/h so he’s pretty quick. After I got done watching videos of those two it was 8:00 A.M. so I took a moment to picture the match going well. Usually when I do this I go to my room, put on my earbuds, get my phone and listen to a speech. I always listen to a motivation speech called “90 Minutes-This is football” before I have a match because, people say that before you are prepared physically, you need to be prepared mentally so you know you can achieve your dream and have the right

I was completely dishearten at this point. 65 minutes in the game, my coach told me to warm up. I was thrilled and nervous, but ready to play.

The habitual internal clock is becoming more apparent as the game wears on. It is unusually hot for early October in Tulsa, Oklahoma and my whole body feels heavy due to exhaustion and possibly mild dehydration.

After a tough practice, I went to check my weight like everyone else does, and my heart sunk as I realize that I am six pounds over my weight class.

Would you tell the truth if the whole world would explode? In some circumstances the truth is not always the best tactic. Many scenarios may not be life threatening, but there is a price to be paid by choosing to tell the truth as Sekhar had learned in R. K. Narayan’s short story, “Like the Sun”. You should not go around telling lies to everyone about everything, but sometimes not telling the absolute truth may be best. Honesty is not always the best policy in some incidents because you could hurt someone’s feelings, put your relationship with others at risk, or reveal confidential information.

Being shoved to the ground and coming up with a mouthful of turf and a bloody nose isn’t the ideal way to spend a friday night, but for me, it's something I put blood, sweat, and tears into.

Unity, tenacity, passion and pride have all been morals that are valued within the sport and in my own philosophy.
