Soccer Soccer Soccer

Since I was the age of 3, nothing was as consistent in my life as soccer was. This sport isn't just a sport to me, it's pretty much my entire life! My weekends were always consumed with practices and games. Sometimes at night during the week we'd have practice. (This is just for my outside team)

Then you have school ball. Not as competitive as an outside league, but just as fun! I played from 7th grade to my senior year. 

I accomplished so much throughout this sport and gained a boat load of confidence thanks to it. 

My senior year of high school was without a doubt one to remember. No cockiness intended with these following statements but, I was one of the top players. I usually always was for school ball. I have an immense amount of speed and I'm just able to get past opponents, shoot and score. I led the team with most goals, and I was awarded MVP and All-County for my performance on the field. I distinctly remember during a few games against other schools, the coaches telling their players to make sure they mark me because of the speed and skill I had.

Unfortunately though, for my first year of college I was unable to play due to a knee injury. Also, I've always felt like I never really had a say in whether or not I could quit soccer. So I used the knee injury as my leeway to stop and it's almost been a full year of no soccer; it's safe to say I miss it and I'm not me without it in my life.
