Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone-and Football

Have I ever wanted to try something new? Of course I have. You know, the occasional spicy pepper, or the kid that you want to meet but you can’t? We all have those times, but, there is ONE thing left on my bucket list. Okay, maybe a few hundred things left on my bucket list.

The #1 thing that I absolutely have to do is: Play professional soccer for the U.S. If girls played football, I would play football. Some of you are saying, “but girls do play football.” And I know that. It’s just wrong. Lookup “girls football”. That’ll make you understand why I DON’T want to play girls football. I like watching football though, mostly NFL. I like the Pittsburgh Steelers, as if you couldn’t tell from my sub-title. Enough about football, let’s talk about football.

I started playing soccer when I was about 4 years old. I played on a team called THE EARTHQUAKES!!!! I loved that team because before a game, we would stomp our feet on the ground as If we were an actual earthquake!!! Cute, huh? There was also this team called THE TIMBERS!!!! My dad and I always laughed when they did their little dance. They would fall backwards onto their backs like trees! Hah, we thought that was SO funny!

Anyways, I just finished my last U-12 season. I would of been playing on a U-15 team this fall, but there weren’t enough girls. In the spring I will hopefully be playing in U-15. What is a U-12 and U-15? They are like ranks that depend on your age and skill. So if I was 5, I’d play on a U-6 team or a U-7. My positions sometimes vary. I always start off as center mid-field. You need to be fast and to have stamina. You also need to know how to pass. If you don’t pass to your strikers, the other team most likely will steal it. I know that If I try SUPER hard, I can do it.

I know a lot of guys in my grade want to play professional football. The chances of getting into NFL is crazy small. I think most of them want to either play on the Eagles or some other team. Literally, I think there are at least 5 guys that want to play professional football. Hopefully they have backup jobs just in case their dreams get crushed. I think one is Joie, then Dane, Dimitriy, and now I’m not even sure WHAT Dane wants to be. And I also kinda exaggerated the fact that 5 guys that want to play in the NFL, because I only counted out two. Eh, who cares?

So hopefully someday, I will play on the girls professional soccer team! I’m still trying something new, right!!!???
