My Two Favorite Things About Soccer

     Of course there is abundant parts that make it the number one sport played in the world, but here are a couple of my absolute favorite things to the sport:
     In soccer there is always room for improvement, because you will never be able to always give perfects passes, get a goal every time you shoot the ball, or even always do every play perfectly. But that is why I love soccer. Since there is always room for improvement, I am able to set long or short term goals for myself in soccer and once I reach those goal I am able to see what a difference it made. Also this means that not every player is the same. Every player has there weak and strong point, but that is why it is a team sport. Your teammates can cover your weaknesses while you do the same for you
     This brings me to my next favorite thing about soccer, your team. Like I said in my last post ,"Your team has your back". Over the soccer season or seasons that you play with you teammates you become closer and closer. You hang out with your team off of the field. During tournaments you go everywhere with them, you go to dinner and lunch with them, you usually share hotel rooms, and you stay up all night hanging out with them or running up and down the halls of the hotel. My team does fundraisers, and during the fundraisers we hangout and it usually ends with a sleepover. The games are a very small part of soccer, because those connection you make with your teammate off the field decide how well your team plays together, and whether you win or loss. The better you know your teammates the easier it is to tell what they are going to do.
     Soccer has millions of other props but these two are my favorite.
