People think the soccer is just a game, but like all other sports there is more to it.
Soccer build you physically. You become stronger from all the workouts and practices. You build endurance to be able play a whole 90 minute game with full energy. You become faster from all the sprints and running.
Soccer is also alot of self control, you learn how to let the ball hit you in the right place at the right time for it to fall straight down to your feet. You learn how to keep the ball close to you as you run, but still be able to run at full speed.
Comittement is a huge part of soccer, because you spend hour practiceing the same trick over and over again until you can do it perfectly at full speed. But you also have to commit to the hours of practices and game, and constantly be trying your hardest because everyone is counting on you.
The most important thing in soccer is accepting that your team will become your family and closest friends. Soccer is not one person defending the goal and at the same time getting goals, it is a team effort. On the field everyone has a job and you have to trust them to do their best to do their jobs, but at the same time you have to give it you all so that your team trust you. You learn that they will always have your back and support you to do your best. On the field you also have to get over all the drama or tension between player on your team because you need them and they need you.
Soccer builds charater, trust, team work, and keeps you fit. When you are not at practice, games, or tournaments, the soccer player in you shows. It could be the way you walk, talk, or treat others, but soccer leave a mark on every player.
