Soccer
Personally, I believe soccer is the best sport known to man.
I can't pinpoint when I became obsessed and stark raving bonkers about it, but I've been playing since I was four.
I play Sweeper, or the very last player on the field, in the center. That means I'm captain of the defense and mid-field. Basically, I tell everyone on my team where to go and what to do, since I have the best view of the field.
I'm not going to lie; I'm a pretty good defender. I get to the ball fast and I'm not afraid to take it, plus I take all the kicks for my team.
However, I'm not the best player on the team. That spot belongs to one of my friends Alexa, who plays Right Offense. Then there's Grace, who plays Left Offense.
I'm not sure exactly what is so amazing about soccer, but I can tell you this:
When I'm playing it nothing, no one, exists except me, the ball, the opposing team, and my team mates. And the last two hardly matter, they're just the people I'm giving the ball to or taking it away from. I don't worry about anything or anyone unrelated to the sport. I don't even think anything except soccer, soccer, soccer.
Right now one of my teams is 4 - 0. This means we have four wins and no losses. We play again today, just like on every Sunday. Yes, even Mother's Day. They don't cancel this sport for holidays.
If we win all our games, our coach will probably take us to Italy. That would be so cool, since first of all, it would be a fantastic place to visit, and second of all, I would be with my team mates. I think we'd play in a tournament or something.
It's great, it's magical. It's soccer.

I've been playing since I was four as well. I play every position except goalie. But my favorite position would be Forward.
It's pretty sweet that you have the chance to go to Italy. D:
That's insane!

Yeah, I sure do!
Ah, that's something that comes with practice and focus.
I love sports :]

I remember you saying you liked soccer!
I suck at soccer. Or, well... I suck at controlling the ball and passing the ball. The only thing I can do decently is goalie because I'm used to diving for softballs at second. And I can kick hella hard. That's it.
How you described soccer is how I see basketball and softball. Yep.

I love netball. [:
& soccer is one of the best sports ever. ^_^
I hope you go to Italy, sounds like fun.
I usually play centre back when I play soccer.

Mm most likely, it's a pretty important ligament apparently. But I'm done with PT (thank god) so I'm just gonna work my ass off and really do everything I can to get back. I'm not even supposed to be jogging until late June. Lol we'll see how it goes I suppose.

Oh, man, never? Christ, I would be howling and depressed now if I were you o_o
I mean, i just sparined my ankle during last Sunday and couldn't play the remainder of the game or go to practices (well, I couldn't even walk) and I was b*tching. So today is the first day I play in a week Dx
Thanks :]

Ha that's like exactly how it is for me. I'm sweeper as well and my coach says if we're still together when we're U-18 (next year) he'll take us to Italy.
But I know exactly what you mean. Soccer changes everything and gets me to the point where nothing else matters. I've been playing for over 13 years. I tore my ACL a couple a months ago though so I don't know if I'll be able to play again...like ever / =
Good luck to your team though ( =
