Soccer. My life. I play it from blazing sun, pouring rain to blizzards. No, there is never a perfect time nor temperature to play soccer. No matter what, you will sweat, you will get extremely tired, and you WILL get pushed around. In girls soccer there are no boundaries, whether you full on tackle the girl to flat tiring them on a corner kick. The excitement and desire to win never disappears it only grows stronger until the last thirty seconds we bring our A game. Wether we have no subs or a whole bench full of people, we play, we play our game, we win. Well minus the win part... that only happens on a REALLY REALLY REALLY good day. I wouldn't call our team undefeated or high ranked...more or less it could be looked at as a way of improving, becoming the team we want to be. Soccer has always been apart of my life, whether it meant fooling around with a soccer ball at age 3 to charging down a field age 15, keeping my eyes on the only prize...a WIN. Soccer games are usually fun... until we have to get up at 6 on a saturday to drive an hour, loose, freeze our asses off, then drive back with nothing but regret filling our stomachs.
There's a saying that goes "Park City girls are buff"... I wouldn't call our team buff nor skilled. We wing it every game, maybe if we are lucky bring home a win, just to slap a smile on the parents faces. Soccer games are a big thing to the parents, they are the ones who get extremely into it and cheer us on no matter what the score is, once we were being beaten 11-0 and they still kept cheering and telling us we could get it back. Did we? Nope. Why? because we have lost all confidence in our skills due to a very nasty coach who brought each team members confidence down significantly. As much as we all wish to walk off the field with a smile on our faces, that doesn't always happen, we are skilled as individuals, but can't always seem to figure out the whole teamwork component. I mean thats the most important part... a soccer team has 11 people on the field not just one. As said before, there is no i visible in team, but there is a chance we decide to work together for a few minutes and end up scoring a goal or even better, winning the game!
The basic shape on the field is a 1-4-4-2, this means the goalie of course, the four defender, mid fielders, and the two strikers. When the first whistle is blown the team that has the ball gets kick off, this means that they will start the game by passing it to another team member. Next we desperately scramble round the field in order to score a goal or better yet pull a hat trick...now wouldn't that be just dandy. Next the opponents will foul, do anything they can to get the ball and score, while we like to sit around clicking our heels while watch the defenders be the only thing between the goal and their goal. Eventually, they might slip a couple shots in but our goal keeper ali seems to rolling around in mud. To conclude, soccer is a very simple game once you get the absolute hang of it. This sport is easy to learn and hard to forget. Soccer is a great sport and I encourage my readers to try it out even if it means having to learn new drills, experience new coaches and become part of a new team it is a great way to stay fit and have fun with friends. Concluding, Soccer is easy and fun, even if you aren't the best you will still be a part of a team and support each other in games, win or lose!
