Many people play sports and have hobbies they are passionate about, but soccer isn’t just a hobby or a sport I play for fun. Soccer is my life. 

I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old and fell in love with the game. I could tell that soccer was my sport and my passion and no one could take that away from me. Throughout my years of playing soccer I was always passionate about the beautiful game which made me strive to become better.

I started my soccer career playing on a rep team called Burloak Soccer Academy and I played on that team for about 3 year when I was 7-10 years old, on that team I learned formations, basics and tactics. Then I went to Oakville Blue Devils. At Oakville Blue Devils I learned the more advanced soccer skills, the proper way to long pass, how to defend and how to improve my fitness. Then for a year I went to a new team called GPS which was the North American Academy in partnership with Bayern Munich; I made it to the team with just one attempt to get noticed. One year later the whole organization shut down due to bankruptcy. After GPS I went back to Blue Devils and that is where I currently play.

I’m happy that I can say I made a whole second family from soccer. There are people I can go to with any problem or issue and they always have my back. Take my best friend, for example: we honestly probably wouldn’t have ever been friends if it wasn’t for soccer and wouldn’t have the amazing relationship we have today. Soccer unites all people from around the world and brings unity. 

Soccer is no doubt a part of my future plans. I work so hard and have put in so much effort that I can’t just stop being involved with it. My future plans with soccer aren’t even that far away either.  My first goal is to make it to a high school varsity. The second goal and the one I’m most focused on is getting a scholarship for soccer in college. One day I may even coach my children on their soccer teams. Honestly, all the decisions I’m making right now are because of my future goals for soccer.

I love soccer so much that I am willing to do anything to have a chance at becoming a pro soccer player, and everyday I work so hard to reach my maximum potential so I can at the pro level and make my family proud. Even though some days I just don’t feel like waking up as early as 6 am and going for a run, I always remember “hard work beats talent, when talent doesn’t work hard”, which keeps me motivated to keep going.

I’m so passionate about soccer because it is the answer to why I am who I am today. Not only does soccer make me feel more secure, but it also relieves me. Anytime I’m stressed or don’t want to think of something, soccer is the answer.
