Well I don't know if anyone of you know but I am a huge soccer fan. I love to play soccer and it is my favorite sport.I grew up around soccer because both of my brothers played soccer and I have been playing since I was about six years old. As i got into high school I was nervous to play soccer because we had a strict coach. But, i stuck with it and I am glad I did. I was a four year starter in high school and i loved every minute of it. My soccer team was very good. My sophomore year we ended the year 18-1-1 and went to Regional Semi-finals and lost in double overtime.The team we lost to was very good and plus they were a bigger school than us. That was on of the hardest things in my life. We worked so hard to get there and all we wanted to do was go to state so bad but, I guess it was not meant to be. I played my next two years and I was honored to be captain my junior and senior year. Since I had so much success and earned many awards during my high school years I was asked to play soccer my freshman year at Defiance College, but i changed my mind.
I was scared going in as a freshman and just be pounded with a ton of homework. I wanted to get good grades and have a great freshman year. But, I wish i would have played. Next fall, I will be a sophomore I will be playing soccer at Defiance and I am really excited about it. Well why I am telling you all this? Well as we get into spring soccer season, we are starting to play in tournaments and play indoor soccer.I look back and remember all my soccer memories and all the great times we had. I became close with a lot of my friends and I can't thank God enough for putting me in that position. I think about all the success we had on the court and off the court. Everyone single one of us became better people because of our great coach and teammates.
I consider this some of the best day of my life. I look forward to having many more memories with my new team. Yes, it won't be my soccer team but, there are some great girls on the team and i look forward to getting to know them. As I look back at everything I went through during my high school and soccer career I consider them the best days of my life. Kellie Pickler writes the song Best Days of Your Life and the song as a line that fits perfect as I look at my past and it states " Cause I'll be there in the back of your mind from the day we met to the very last night and it just to sad you've already had the best days of your life." Yes, high school and soccer were a lot of fun and I have great memories but, as I start a new chapter in my life , i know i have great things to come and I can what to see what happens.

I can't wait to see what happens this coming year either - not to mention I'll have another awesome teammate. :]
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your getting back into something your so passionate about. I think your right about the new team being your team because you will have to start at the bottom again plus you don't have the same bond like in high school but college sports are rewarding in other ways.
