My U-10 Girls Soccer Team
The experience I want to tell you about today is when my U-10 (ages 8-9) girls soccer team that I coached won the Championship game. Throughout the soccer season we had practice twice a week for 12 weeks and games every saturday morning for eight weeks. At the first few practices I learned a little bit about each player and found out whether they had played soccer before or not. With every practice and game our team became better and better. We actually lost all of our games before tournaments. Through coaching these girls though I learned that the more we got to know each other and learn each other's strengths and weaknesses the more we became a well developed team. I also began to see who did and did not get along with each other all the

    One of Paul’s first significant frustrations is when his soccer coach, Coach Walski, kicks Paul off the team. Paul got booted off the team because he is visually impaired, which they wouldn’t have had knowledge of if his mother hadn’t submitted the form in the first place. Plus, throughout the story, Paul tells his mother and father he can in fact see perfectly fine, though they just don’t seem to listen, “‘I can see! Don’t you know that? Why did you have to fill out that stupid form when you know I can see?’”(Pg 64). Also, that impacted Paul pretty hard, considering that he was very much looking forward to soccer. One of the first questions that Paul asked to Mrs.Gates was, “Do you have a soccer team?”(Pg 26). Paul was deprived of the one…

    My first year of storm soccer began in the 6th grade. I was nervous to start my first competitive soccer season. The thing that helped me out the most was that I knew we had a new coach in the program so we all were starting new.

    Ever since kicking my first soccer ball during Kinder Kicks, soccer has become a fundamental aspect of my life. Not only have I been playing the sport since then, but the sport has also influenced me beyond solely playing it. It is the culture surrounding the game as well. It is waking up early every Saturday morning to watch the Liverpool game, or getting ready to cheer on the New England Revolution in Gillette Stadium in the evenings. Soccer has been embedded everywhere in my life, from the posters on my bedroom walls to the jerseys that continue to accumulate on my closet floor. This passion has driven me to share the sport with as many as I can. With the Natick Soccer Organization, I have been organizing tournaments for U10 and U14 boys…

    This is my second year on the Peabody Magnet High Soccer team, and I was even awarded the Coach’s award for playing midfield and made honorably mention in my district ranking. I also am the Co-Captain of the Peabody Flag line. Being on the soccer and flag teams taught me that hard work really pays off and really forced me to challenge myself. When the flag line first started, we did not have a coach or experience. Although we taught ourselves our own routines, techniques and twirls; we placed and won a 3rd place trophy in our first battle of the bands competition. It was the smallest trophy there, but it meant more to me than any big one could. It just proved to me again that if I put my mind to something I could accomplish…

    That wasn’t the only circumstance that taught me those lessons. I was bullied for being on the varsity team in 8th grade. I wanted to stay home and cry because girls would torture me daily. However, my love for the game forced me to hop in goal and save any shot I can. In my final year as I was named captain. I realized I made the right choice, to not give up. After all, if I learned anything from being a goalkeeper, it was to ignore people in the stands and get on with trying to win. My love for the game and for being a goalkeeper taught me to not only be tough but it also taught me how to be determined and loyal. If it wasn’t for soccer, I don’t know what kind of person I’d…

    I’ve been trained to respect my coach and teammates, which today and In the future will help me to be disciplined in whatever I decide to do in my life. Soccer is my escape. It helps me get away whenever I’m having a hard time. I have one of the most special memories of having my mom as my first coach ever. She is the reason I’m where I am today. Every game when I step my foot on the field, I’m reminded that she is looking over me from above cheering me on. It’s an amazing feeling knowing I can connect with her through the game. I’ll try to make my mom proud in everything I do on and off the field. My experience playing will always be appreciated. Guidance from my coaches throughout the year helped me not only be a better soccer player but a better person overall. I appreciate the game of soccer and everything it had taught me through the years and how it will affect me later on. I just can’t name one sport I’d rather play.

    Children tend to go out for sports to make friends, improve relationships, become better at the sport, and to stay in shape. No matter what the reason is when you join the sport, you will find out that you gained numerous friends over the course of the season. As every sports season comes around the corner, you can visualize how close people on the same teams grow. At our high school, people eat with their teams, lift with their teams, practice with their teams, and play with their teams. The environment is set up to create friendships. Being a senior in high school, I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple team sports. Throughout my high school experience, I have noticed is that the teams who grow the closest, have the greatest success. One piece of evidence is our soccer team. When I came into high school, we had the opportunity to meet new coaches. Coach Garza and Coach Javi, the soccer coaches, are no doubt, the best coaches I have ever had the chance to be taught by. They both possess the rare trait of being able to bond kids together. The soccer team I am on has the strongest bond I have ever seen. Since I joined the team as a freshman, we have made two consecutive state trips, which were the first and second in school history. We also achieved the runner-up status in the championship game. If there were one trait I could relate our success to, it would be the bond we share as a…

    Soccer has been a big part of my life growing up. The biggest thing for me going into high school, freshman year, was making the soccer team. I showed up to every summer camp training first, and would work an hour before practice every day. To get better and impress the coaches. At the end of one practice the coach pulls me aside and tells me "Keep up the good work, you have a spot on Junior Varsity." At my school for a freshman to make JV was a big deal. I was ecstatic. Just as summer camp came to an end, tryouts began. I went into tryouts with great confidence, having no doubts in my mind about what team I made. The week after tryouts they posted the teams, with the confidence I had, I told myself that I didn't even need to look. That I had…

    My senior year playing soccer we didn't start out good. We were not playing as a team. Everyone wanted to do their own things. This affects me by making me feel like I was the only one who wanted to win a game. I work hard over the summer to get ready for the season. I thought we were going to make it to final again. There was a lot of things we needed to work on as a team. Some of which was crossing the ball, being in shape, and the mental part of the game. Knowing how to cross the ball across the field is a big part of soccer. We needed to work on that so during a game we can switch from one side to another, and make a goal. This affected me by wasting…
