Blogging Assignment #4

The great thing about games is that it allows you to meet so many different people at one time.  I have played soccer since I was five years old and it has allowed me to make friendships that I will have for the rest of my life.  Along with making so many of my friends, soccer has allowed me to meet people from literally all over the world.  I have made so many special memories through soccer that I will have for the rest of my life.

Playing soccer as gave me the opportunity to make so many friendships.  Through the idea of playing alongside other people and having to understand how they play and act is amazing for growing friendships.  Since there are at least 11 players on each team, playing all over the state and country allows me to meet so many more people than I ever good without soccer.  The mechanics of this game are so well made that it has made it the most popular sport in the world.  Because of this the fan base is huge.  Going to different soccer games whether amateur or professional, so many different people will be there.  This allows you to meet other people with the same interests that you do.

Although I have made so many positive experiences with soccer, I have also had some very negative ones.  I have met some very nasty people with no respect for the game or his opponents.  For some reason it is always easy to find some kid that everyone hates, sometimes even his teammates.   It’s unlucky that some people have to act like that, but the risk/reward of making so many memories is worth it.

Lastly, soccer has allowed me to meet so many people from around the world.  I have been on multiple tournaments where there are other teams from different countries.  This one tournament I was in in Maryland, the one team was from South Africa, and this other college camp I was in Ohio, this one kid was from France.  Even in college, we had a player last year that was from turkey.  Meeting this people and learning about their culture is one of the most rewarding things of soccer.
