When I play soccer I feel free. Soccer is so much more than a sport to me. It has helped me with many aspects in my life, which carry over into other life lessons. I feel passion and drive when I'm playing. I strive to do my best and to never let my teammates down. The values and hardships that have come with soccer have taught me many life lessons, and those lessons have been some of my greatest obstacles to over come, both on the field and in life. Soccer pushes me to be my very best, and my life wouldn't be complete without my feet on the pitch and a ball on the field.
