Soccer meaning in my life.

Personally, soccer has given meaning to my life, and although it may sound a bit exaggerated to some, that's how I see it. Over the years I have discovered what makes me feel alive and without a doubt soccer tops this list.

During these 11 years playing soccer, I realized how important it has been for my personal development because it has forced me to go through different situations full of new emotions and taking me to live unique moments, like creating new friendships, in my case I found my best friends thanks to soccer, and it is incredible the complicity and support you feel when you create a bond with a person and have the same goals, soccer helped me to create these strong relationships with people who understand the rhythm of life that you lead when you become an athlete, knowing that many times you have to sacrifice time with family and friends, having to sacrifice sleeping late on the weekend, even time at school and classes but always knowing that you have a responsibility both academically and athletically, always putting soccer as the priority in our lives and eventually learning to enjoy it.

    The development of a person is based on different aspects and I think that there is no aspect in which soccer can not influence, whether in interpersonal relationships, competitiveness and the desire to be someone important in the world, the understanding of life (from my perspective) since for me soccer is a reflection of life, with its complications and benefits, emphasizing that for no one is a secret that soccer like any other sport brings with it a very strong mental load, that when we are children we don't feel it because we are just enjoying this passion, but as time goes by we start to realize how influential the sport is in the life of any person, creating new habits, discipline and resilience.

     One of the reasons why until today I have not given up the sport is because of the pleasant experiences that I get to live, as reflected in the image, there was a time when soccer gave me much happiness and satisfaction and I still have the hope that soccer will feel that way again at some point, many people think that being an athlete is easy, and those who are know that it is not easy and you are always exposed to fail, but your passion makes you act and want to be better to achieve the goals set.

These are some of the photos saved in my gallery that remind me of what it must feel like to play soccer and of the people that this sport has left in my life.
