My passion is soccer.
I discovered my passion in soccer when I was young like about 6 years old. I remember my whole family talked about soccer and watched soccer all the time. Then they put my older brother on a team. After I saw them put him on a team, I wanted to start too. My dad also put me on a team and I loved it. The kids were bigger than me, but that did not matter to me because I was excited to play at my fullest potential. I did not start off that good, but after practicing a lot I became better. I remember I never wanted to miss practice or a game, I played in all different positions when I first started. But my favorite was goalkeeper. When I turned ten, I started to practice and play in games as goalkeeper.
Attending US Sports Nike Soccer Camp will help me pursue my passion for soccer because it will make me a better player overall by learning new strategies, techniques, and practices to get better. The camp could give me tips on what to work on more. I hope to become a professional soccer player someday, and US Sports Nike Soccer Camp could help me get there. By attending the camp, it will make me work harder to get to the top. It will teach me more and show me new strategies to become better. Overall, attending US Sports Nike Soccer Camp will help to pursue my passion because it will be a great opportunity and experience for me.
Frankie and I met his freshmen year. He was trying to become our starting goal keeper, the position that paid for my college. Frankie right away knew he had big shoes to fill from our previous goal keepers. Being a freshmen, he did not show the usual intimidation that most freshmen come in with. He was going up against an older player who had trained with me for years. However, Frankie showed no fear and showed the team and myself what an amazing player he is. For the past two seasons Frankie has helped lead our team to two championship games. He has started every game since his freshmen year and has convinced me to stay on as the goal keeping coach after trying to step back into the Athletic Director only role for his last two years at our school. Frankie has been honored by our league the past two years being on the All Stars team and last year, he got Rookie of the Year. He has fast hands and fast feet. He is able to read the field and players extremely well and help his teammates in almost any situation on and off the field. I can't wait to see what his future holds in soccer; I know he can and will go far. I know this program will help him move his skills to the next level needed to make it into college.
I know how much you love soccer. Never give up!
What a wonderful dream!
Good luck!
