Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Soccer Team

657 Words3 Pages

I was ready to play soccer with my team during PE and dashed right out the locker rooms. I was ready to hear Mr. Orluck’s loud voice to tell us to go to the soccer field so that I could bolt out to there and get to talk to all my friends. My heart was rushing and my legs were shaking with excitement to run to be the goalie of my team. I went and gave my attention back to Mr. Orluck to give us the signal to go straight out there.
“Let’s go! Get out onto the field all of you!”

We all had fourth period PE. We were playing soccer and got to choose teams, so I went with a friend who I knew already during the past summer. She introduced me to some of her elementary friends, Sophia and Jazlyn, were on the team with me. We started to hang out during soccer and helped out …show more content…

“Yes! Speaking of BOV, do you guys play any sports?” replied Caitlyn. “Um, Jenny and I don't really play sports,” Katie answered back. “Well, I do play softball for Synergy, and it’s super cool!” Sophia exclaimed.
At Crow Canyon, we all became so close to each other and did almost everything together. We bonded so much that we considered ourselves a family and acted like we were all family members. We kept talking to each other about how the school year went by so fast. Amanda would always be making really funny jokes we would always laugh together. We kept thinking that summer was literally right there and how summer would feel like a year rather than a couple months. We soon thought about how we wouldn’t talk to each other as much during the seventh grade, but we would soon find a way to fix that problem. We then took a group picture to remind us of all the memories we had during all the sixth grade starting from PE, exploratory, and even though some of us weren’t in the same classes, but then we still found a way how to communicate together. We all felt sixth grade was one of the best years of our lives and any other year will never be the

The softball team has gave me unforgettable friendships, the ability to play with such inspiring athletes, and has given me skills that I can carry on due to coach Sal. The first year I had started on West High’s softball team was sophomore year. I remember going to the try outs, feeling awkward, due to me not being close to any of the girls since we were twelve and eleven. All the girls that were my age, the ones I was friends with when I was younger, were all on varsity. Since it was my first year back as a Falcon, Sal placed me on JV.

When I first thought about how soccer impacted my life, nothing really came to mind. I was that kid who mostly looked forward to the end of the game snacks and bringing around the goal jar. But when I actually began thinking about more about playing soccer I realized that soccer was the first place where I was fully submerged into something completely new. I learned how to make friends, how be a leader, and how to have good sportsmanship. These are all things that have made me into the person I am today and it all began on the soccer field.

But on the day of the semi-finals, my soccer team had a big problem. Due to summer vacations, we were missing a third of our team which left us with only enough kids to play. We didn’t have any subs. It was going to be a tough and hot eighty minutes of running with only a quick half-time break.

My focus on the field had changed. No longer was the ‘goal’ a metal cage guarded by a goalie–it was to mediate the entire field. Rather than competitively playing to win, my job entailed supporting the young players. I became scorekeeper, arbiter, coach, and intermittently, shoe-tier. The younger the player,

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.

I began playing soccer when I was eight, which isn’t a very long time, but throughout the six years I’ve been playing, soccer has changed my life. My weekends, as well as some of my weekdays, have been devoted to soccer. Soccer has taught me how to be humble, kind and how to make sure my emotions don’t overpower my

Mr. Rowe is the PE teacher at Springhill Elementary School, and a lifelong friend as well, and so he was excited when I asked to come and watch him teach gym classes. Thursday, I had the privilege of observing two sessions, 4th and 5th grade. The gym space they used was smaller than half the gym in the Wells Fargo Sports Complex, and when filled with about 30 kids seemed even smaller. Fifth grade came in first, and since they had already participated in two form and technique sessions already that week, this third and final day meant they could put those skills into practice with a game of “End Line Soccer.” Fourth grade was the second class I observed, and that day was their first and only gym class of the week, so Mr. Rowe took them through some soccer drills for the first time.

After 12 years of playing and constant practice, I was not only devoted to the sport but determined to make it my future. At age 15 I made it into one of the most prestigious soccer clubs in Minnesota--for a team of 18 year olds at that--only to learn we could not afford to send me there. I didn’t let it get me down however and continued to play for traveling teams. That is until freshman year when I began experiencing extreme foot problems, resulting in an ankle break. I kept playing once my foot healed, but unfortunately my it gave out again the summer before Junior year, and this time for good… I was completely devastated when the doctors told me I could no longer partake in the thing I am best at, the thing I love most, my passion, soccer.

Four days and change after my mediocre tryout I was awarded the same phone call and sympathetic embrace from my parents. I woke to a loud buzzing noise late at night, a month before my birthday. Michael Spiro’s name had found its way to the lock screen of my phone. He texted me asking if I would be interested in trying out for soccer in the upcoming August season. I had not played soccer since 4th grade and never had played the goalie position so this proposal came as a major shock to me.

I wish I could include a picture of me playing soccer with this essay because that was all I did from age five to fifteen. Soccer was life for ten years so most people are surprised to hear that the fall of my senior year in high school I will Captain of my high school Cross Country team. How I became Captain of a running sport is an accomplishment I never saw coming.

As an in-coming freshman who hadn’t played on a school team in middle school, I was at a disadvantage because I was behind in skills and didn’t know many of the tricks. Fortunately, the coach saw my potential and I made the varsity team. My coaches and teammates continually pushed me and helped me become an even better player than I was before. Over the course of my four years on the team, I faced several obstacles that made me feel weak and inadequate, but to overcome them I reminded myself that I loved soccer. The biggest obstacle I faced was getting a concussion my junior year.

Soccer is my favorite sport because when I am on the field I am on the field I am in control! The field for me is like my second home, not physically but mentally. Once I am done with school and done with my house chores, I make my way to the field. The soccer field for me is where I let off steam, I can let go of all my problems (even if it’s just for a little while), and I can relax, and just go with wind. I love being in control of the soccer ball.
