Most people do not believe that becoming a professional athlete is possible, but I think that with the right preparation, it is possible for me to achieve my career goal of becoming a professional soccer player.

These goals will be conquered over varying time periods, while some goals take just hour or days or others that take weeks, months, or even years.

The final thing I researched about professional soccer players was what they believe to be the best as well as the worst parts of their job. The best part of being a professional soccer player is obviously that you are getting paid to do what you love every day. The worst part for many is the fact that soccer every day is very physically and mentally demanding. I can 't imagine that there would be any professional soccer players that do not enjoy their job because they are extremely fortunate to have the job that they do because it truly is a dream job that many people would love to have. Based on the research that I have collected through the career survey and many other sources I believe that being a professional soccer player is definitely the job for me because I practice soccer every day and I know that I would enjoy playing soccer as a career. Since I know all of these steps required to make it as a pro athlete I think that I will be able to make it one day even though it may be

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.

Soccer has kept me off the streets, it keeps me focused, maintaining agility, stamina and a side of aggression. The feeling I get when playing soccer is indescribable, the wind in my face, the crowd cheering me on..most importantly the goal - soccer relates so much to my everyday life it’s taught me teamwork and keeping myself healthy and sharp. The one person I look up to is Lionel Messi #10, the jersey that I so proudly wear every game, his motivational words, his enthusiasm really drove me to get that number and one of my favorite quotes of his would have to be “the day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for anyone.” this quote is important to me because it’s a quote with such a powerful meaning, telling me that even though you may THINK you can’t get better, or do better something pushes you inside to do much greater things and I’m still learning as I go. You could ask any one of my friends or family members how much soccer has became a part of me, I want to have that name “Destiny Scott” affiliated with soccer it’s become second nature to me, soccer is a major part in my life and it has made me into the person I am
