Soccer team: an Ethnography Essay
There exist various ways an individual can learn life lessons among them being personal experiences. This I can attest as I have learned various important lessons ever since I started playing football. One of the things I have learned is that for you to be a successful football player you need to be strong, fast and that you cannot make it without teamwork. Football has taught me that dreams can come true if you believe in them and you are willing to work hard. Football is among the most popular games in the world and is played in nearly one fifty nations. It’s an outdoor activity that is played between 2 squads with each squad having 11 members. The core objective of this sport is to score a goal against your rival team and the team that obtains maximum goals end up winning the match. As Franklin Roosevelt once said, “…..Sports is the backbone for what we believe in…it keeps our spirit alive…”
Ever since I was a child in elementary school, I always aspired to play soccer in the Premier League and this pushed me to start playing football at a tender age. As I got older and joined high school in New Orleans Louisiana, my; love for football continued to grow despite me knowing that my dream for playing in Premier League was next to impossible due to lack of speed and size. For you to be an qualified soccer player both size and speed is vital. I believe that if I work hard together with my team members, who we have been playing together since we were young, I might get a spot to play football when I join college. There is more to football that joining the Premier League club.
What makes me keep pushing on and never giving up is the love I have for this game. Additionally, my strict and conditioning coach has played a part in making me love soccer as he gives me countless repetitions of exercises. For nearly four weeks, the coach trained me on lifting weights and as a result, I have begun getting stronger than I was when I joined high school. This spirit of exercising has always been in me and even during spring, I find myself I have football conditioning nearly four times a week where I do run sprints till I begin feeling like vomiting. Despite the pain I always feel every time I exercise, I always feel great because I know am getting bigger and stronger. The love for soccer has taught me to be patient and persistent, virtues I never thought I would ever possess.
What makes me love soccer every time I play is the fact that for it to prosper, it requires incredible amounts of teamwork as well as sportsmanship. As we all know, no man can ever win a football game while playing alone. Teamwork is essential in the game of football and this has taught me to appreciate family. Soccer is like one huge family as you have to learn how to work, live and communicate with your fellow teammates at all times if your goal is succeeding. Moreover, you have to learn how to trust your teammates as these will be the individuals you will spend most of your time with. From trusting your teammates, you get to learn how to trust people a virtue not many people possess.
There are many reasons as to why I love soccer among them being teamwork, the enthusiasm and the mental aspect of the sport. These are what makes soccer interesting to not only play but also watch. Soccer is one of the many games that will always live on across the Universe and my love for this sport will always thrive in me until I die. I hope to pass this love to my future generation since football offers people a different view upon society.
