Life is like a soccer game you want a certain result but you never know the end result it can be what you wanted or it could be totally different. MY freshman year in the soccer team was like a soccer game for me i expected to get a bad result but i got a pretty good results with a couple here and there. All the activities and the running in trouts are nearly impossible to live through but even in the soccer games at northbranch and brandon we had to live through it but you have to tough it out.

in mid august we all got a notification on our teams group chat that tryouts were during next 3 days 2 times a day from 8am through 10 am and then in the afternoon 4pm to 6pm. Tryouts were very hard we had to do run a beep test, 12 one twentys, …show more content…

in my mind i had put a goal for next year to make it in varsity. We did not meet the rest of our team and coach formally until the next day where we would have our first practice. Coach eric had already an idea of what our starting 11, our formation that we were going to use was 4-4-2 diamond, our goalie was braulio, the four in the back were jayden and jared in the center and seth on the right and aron on the left , i was as a cam or a center attacking mid ,carlos and mauricio on the wings and james as a cdm, our strikers were sebastian and javier.At the end we were told when our first game was.

After about 6 games we had a game in north branch where something terrible and good would happen to me. We had been winning by half time 4-0 omar had scored two , alejandro one, and braulio another. About 10 minutes after the second half started i had passed to omar and omar to emmanuel and then emmanuel passed it back to me. I recieved the ball outside the box so i took a touch to the right and then i just swung my leg and the ball howled into the upper 90 and went in i could believe that i made it it felt like the …show more content…

When we got there we saw a huge stadium for their football team but their soccer field was really bad compared to the football stadium. The whole team was already getting down about the game everyone was saying we were going to lose but i thought we could do it and the coach did too we got straight to warming up.about 30 minutes of warming was all we got before we started the match, coach eric told us who was going to start and i was in it!. Everyone was very happy to start the last match of the season, he said we were the ones he trusted the most to win this game. Our game started well we were passing from side to side, doing one-two’s, and many different plays, but no one had scored in the 75 minutes of playing time that had passed. At around the 85th minute aron passed the ball to james and he passed it to me, then i passed it to jay and he started dribbling up the sideline. Thats when he found a gap and crossed it over ,as the ball soared into the box alejandro attemted a diving header, but the goalie pushed the ball away straight to javier's legs and he didn't even hesitate to shoot the ball. the ball had hit the back of the net and we all started celebrating with him and so did the varsity players that were there to play after we were done. For the rest of the match we defended so they

This year was also the year our new coach, coach Jay was in charge of us because Olivier had left last year to to go to Michigan with his wife.

With the encouragement of my dad, we decided that it was time for me to move to a team that would face better competition and have players of a similar mindset to myself. In the beginning of 8th grade, I had moved to my first club team after being on a town travel team for four years. While this was the right move for me, it was definitely a shock for me to realize that I was no longer the best on my team. I struggled through multiple winter training and conditioning workouts before the season had begun, though I tried to remind myself that this was only helping me in the end. When the first game of the summer season arrived, I was somewhat surprised to find that I was not in the starting lineup or in the field.

I finally arrived on the field, I sat on the chilled ground of the soccer field prepping my shin guards and shoes. As I was getting ready I notice a really small and hairy Chaldean walking with a clipboard, thinking that it was probably a student manager, but as he started to walk closer into my distance and towards the varsity team I had realized that it was the head coach of the team. I became a little relieved thinking to myself, well if he had played soccer throughout his whole life he should be able to understand the struggle and difficulty of playing soccer as a short person.
